Latest information on Mexico vs Saudi Arabia's forces
Before the quarter-finals of the 2025 Gold Cup, both teams did not have the strongest squad. Mexico was missing key players such as Hirving Lozano and Henry Martin due to their busy participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, forcing coach Javier Aguirre to rotate the squad and give opportunities to young players. However, with the depth of the squad and the experience of names such as Jimenez, Quinones or Alvarez, the North American representative still maintained the necessary stability to aim for the goal of defending the championship.
Saudi Arabia is in a similar situation. Two important names, Nawaf Al Dawsari and Salem Al Dawsari, cannot participate in this tournament, causing their attack to lack the familiar breakthrough. In addition, the Saudi Arabia squad mainly relies on young and inexperienced players in the international arena. However, they still showed a commendable fighting spirit when they passed the group stage despite only being second in the group.
Latest expected lineup for Mexico vs Saudi Arabia
- Mexico (4-4-2):Malagon; Reyes, Montes, Vasquez, Gallardo; Alvarado, Alvarez, Ruiz,Vega; Jimenez, Quinones
- Saudi Arabia (4-3-3):Alaqidi; Majrashi, Alamri, Madu, Abdulhamid; Aljohani, Ali, Yahya; Al Buraikan, Al Shehri, Al Obod
Latest football commentary on Mexico vs Saudi Arabia
Mexico entered the quarter-finals with great confidence thanks to an impressive run of form under veteran coach Javier Aguirre. After defeating Dominican Republic, Suriname and drawing with Costa Rica, El Tri advanced to the knockout round as the top team in Group A. They are unbeaten in their last four matches and have conceded just once in their last three – a statistic that shows their solidity in defence. Despite missing a few key players, Mexico’s Gold Cup pedigree and tradition are always a powerful weapon, especially as they are the defending champions and the most successful team in the tournament with nine titles.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia entered the quarter-finals as guests. They only had 1 win in the last 4 matches, scoring only 2 goals and had to struggle to get through the group stage. The efforts of the Gulf team cannot be denied, but the professional quality, especially in the attack, is still a big problem. The absence of bright stars like Salem Al Dawsari has seriously affected their strength.
The two teams met in the 2022 World Cup group stage, with Mexico winning 2-1. Despite the changes in their current squad, Mexico's squad depth and class are still superior to Saudi Arabia's. This is expected to be a match where Mexico will control the game and win just enough to advance.
