Mexico vs England prediction: teams form analysis, possible lineups on July 6, 2026
In the Round of 16 of the World Cup on July 6, 2026, the national teams of Mexico and England will play. Neither side is planning to stop at this stage.
Mexico vs England: Team News and Expert Analysis
Mexico represents one of the host nations. Following their Gold Cup win a year ago, they spent a long time playing exclusively friendlies. Most importantly, they prepared well for the World Cup. In the tournament, they only recorded victories, and all with clean sheets: first handling South Africa, South Korea, and the Czech Republic in their group, then recording solid 2-0 wins over Ecuador in the playoffs.
England has been playing under Tuchel’s guidance since last year. With him, they showed a perfect record in qualifying, winning all eight matches. Things got trickier at the World Cup. After a 4-2 win over Croatia, they were held to a goalless draw by Ghana. Following a 2-0 win over Panama, they trailed DR Congo for much of their knockout match. However, Kane stepped up at the right moment: the captain’s brace secured a comeback 2-1 victory.
The hosts are averaging 2.1 goals scored per game, conceding only 0.2 per match. The British are not far behind, scoring 1.7 goals per game and conceding 0.5 on average.
