The Mexican National Team is measured in Chile in Querétaro in the second match of the FIFA Date, it is only a friendly match but it is the first time they have met since the terrible afternoon of July 2016, yes, the 7-0 in favor of The Red.
For the Mexican fans that humiliating result continues to hurt a lot and of course for the players too, although many of those who were that day are not called but it is still a very hard backpack to carry, that is why this “simple” friendly becomes a game with a taste of revenge.
Chile could only defeat Mexico on that occasion and by reviewing the last five matches, El Tri defeated La Roja twice and there were also two draws. Mexico comes to this game, looking for revenge but also cut a bad run of four consecutive defeats, was not able to win since June when it won 2-1 to South Korea in the World Cup.
Chile also does not go through its best moment, did not qualify for the World Cup and is in the process of assembling a team that starts the long road to Qatar, just on Friday lost to Peru 3-0 and although it was a friendly, the criticisms were harsh after the weak performance of the Andean team.
In the times Mexico is slightly favorite and much will depend on the team of Ricardo Ferretti to confirm his status as favorite. Chile knows that it is not a match anymore and will also put the best of its cast for the game in the Corregidora.
