Mexico and Portugal are coming after matches in which they failed to score. For sure it will be an interesting matchup tonight in Massachusetts, USA.
Mexico showed some very good form recently and even in the 1-0 loss to Bosnia three days ago they created a good number of chances, held 62% possession and were unlucky to not win the game, let alone lose it. It was the first loss for Mexico in 7 matches. The Central Americans looked very good in the series of pre-World Cup friendlies in last weeks, beating Israel 3-0 and a strong Ecuador team 3-1. Tonight there will be a lot of fans in the stadium supporting Mexico and that will give an advantage for them.

Portugal will play without Cristiano Ronaldo again and his absence was clearly felt in the last game against Greece last Saturday, a boring 0-0 draw with very few (if any) chances to score. The Seleccao previously won 4 matches on the spin, including a 5-1 win over Cameroon in March, so they are in good form overall before the World Cup, but they need to improve the performance from the Greece match.
Portugal is slightly favored by bookmakers with odds around 2.45 but clearly this is expected to be an evenly-matched game. Portugal has better quality in the team but without Ronaldo they are not the same. They meet a team in very good form that will also have a small advantage because the match is played in USA. I think the draw is the most probable result and these odds are worth a try with medium stakes. I do not see any team having the power to dominate the game and rise above the other, so with a little bit of luck we will have every chance to win this bet for a nice return of investment. My tip is the draw. Correct score prediction: Mexico – Portugal 1-1.
