PREVIEW & TIPS FOR Mexico – Iceland
Mexico and Iceland are at Sam Boyd Stadium, which will be the first friendly of the year for both teams. There is no record of direct clashes between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last clash was played on 25-03-2010 and ended with the result: Mexico (0-0) Iceland. In this meeting the house factor could play an important role, since Iceland presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.
Analysis Mexico
The home team contests its first friendly of the year, having played 5 of the previous year, with the following results: Panama (0-1) Mexico, New Zealand (1-2) Mexico, Mexico (1-0) Chile, Mexico (1-0) Paraguay and Mexico (2-0) Senegal. This is a team little affected by the house factor, that is, presents similar results at home and abroad, since in the last 30 games has recorded 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss as a visitor, with 24 goals scored and 14 conceded; Against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat in his stadium, with 29 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last game he played for WC Qualification CONCACAF, he tied with Panama out (0-0). In the last 10 home games Mexico has recorded 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. His attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games. In their home games there is a tendency to score few, as 9 of their last 22 matches have finished with less than 1.5 goals.
The Mexican national team starts this game with a goalless draw against Panama in a game to count for the second round of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Russia. Usually the selector Juan Carlos Osorio is in 4-2-3-1 privileging the maintenance of the possession of the ball and organized attacks, especially through the corridors: Giovani dos Santos is responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. It is important to point out that this player is the only one called that does not dispute the Mexican championship. For this game the coach should put in the field less usual players.
Analysis Iceland
The visiting team contests its first friendly of the year, having played 8 in the previous year with the following results in the last 5: Malta (0-2) Iceland, Iceland (4-0) Liechtenstein, Norway (3-2) Iceland, Greece (2-3) Iceland and Denmark (2-1) Iceland. This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses as a visitor; Against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat in his stadium. In the last game he played for Friendlies, he beat Malta by 0-2. In the past 10 games as a visitor Iceland have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 5. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, having conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games, but their attack has regularly scored Scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 games, he managed to come back to the result in 3 of the 8 games in which he suffered the first goal.
The Icelanders were the big surprise in Euro 2016 by reaching the quarter-finals of the competition, but did not have enough weapons to stop the hosts, France: 5-2 defeat. Recalling that in the last friendly, Iceland defeated Malta by 0-2: the goals were signed by Traustason and Ingason. In this friendly meeting the coach Heimir Hallgrímsson should play 4-4-2 with Sigurdarson and Finnbogason being the most advanced men on the team. Yet we caution that the Icelanders display some defensive and offensive gaps. Like his opponent, the coach summoned much of the players who dispute the Icelandic championship.
