Mexico opened the summer’s "home" World Cup with four consecutive clean-sheet wins. However, they ended their campaign against England with a 2-3 defeat. They then drew with Colombia in a friendly. Against Peru, they repeated the 1-1 scoreline. They also managed to face their main rivals, the United States, but suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat.

Jiménez and company score an average of 1.8 goals per match, while conceding half as many, 0.9. Their South American visitors score 1.40 goals per game and concede 1.8.
