Mexico vs Poland odds are current as of Monday, Oct. 24, from BetMGM Sportsbook unless otherwise noted.

Surprisingly, Poland enters this match as the favorite, considering the history of both these nations at the World Cup.

Oddsmakers also expect a low-scoring affair, with the under- 2.5 goals juiced to -175. However, with a superstar striker like Robert Lewandowski on the pitch, backing the under could be risky in this match.

Mexico vs Poland Prediction

Mexico 0-1 Poland

The Polish will be expected to advance from the group stage this year after failing to do so during the entire career of Lewandowski. However, it will be a disappointment to the nation if they cannot capitalize on having one of the best strikers in the world on their team.

There will be some familiar faces on the Mexican side, specifically the goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. He will be vital for the team to win this match and advance out of the group stage. The Mexican attack will be led by the Napoli man Hirving Lozano.

I expect a defensive-minded game from Mexico, making it challenging for Poland to break through the backline. However, at the end of the day, Poland is the more talented of the two teams, and with Lewandowski, they are always a threat to score a goal.

Mexico vs Poland Betting Tips

Poland is coming off of a disappointing result during Euro 2020. They failed to advance out of their group in that tournament.

Mexico has failed to advance past the Round of 16 since 1986

Despite being slightly favored to win this match, Poland are only -115 to advance out of the group, while Mexico are -120 to advance to the Round of 16.

Both teams struggle to score goals in international competitions, so a low-scoring affair is the most likely outcome.

WAGER: 1 Unit

Poland should win this game, but there is a good chance this match will end in a draw, so this is a safe bet. Since it is the first match of the tournament for both teams, there might be some rust, and they will be playing it safe. On the other hand, a loss in the first game could be detrimental, so both nations could play more conservatively, trying to secure at least one point.
