Mexico vs Australia Predictions & Betting Tips - Defences to Dominate in Pasadena
Mexico face Australia in Utah for their first competitive meeting, with both teams carrying mixed form. Mexico, though strong at home and generally defensively solid, recently struggled in friendlies, conceding 10 goals in six. Australia have shown defensive lapses, letting in 14 goals in their last five matches, but find the net regularly. With both sides prone to conceding and scoring, a bet on BTTS (Both Teams to Score) is recommended while under 2.5 goals is also considered at 1.90 odds.
- Mexico have conceded 1 goal in their previous 6 matches
- El Tri have failed to win in their last 5 games against Australia
- I am expecting a cagey and low scoring contest in California
Mexico have played six friendlies this year, conceding only one goal. El Tri won't have home advantage in Pasadena where a low scoring clash is expected against Australia.
