The Mexican team won all of the games in the tournament. One was on penalties. They won against Romania and Australia in friendlies that were played before the 2020 Olympic Games. The Saudi Arabia game ended with a 1-1 draw.
Game assessment
The South African team played two football games. They jumped very high and did not score any points. They will need to stop playing soon because the schedule is tight and they play a very physical game.
The Mexicans have many more players who are used to hard work, and they have a higher skill level. We’re betting on Mexico to win with the handicap (-1.5). That means for every $1 bet we will get $2.15 back, but we will lose our initial $1 bet if Mexico does not win.
