Mexico vs Uruguay Prediction, Possible Formations News, Where to Watch

Mexico and Uruguay will meet on Sunday in a friendly match that carries more weight than a normal warm-up game.

Mexico are trying to build confidence ahead of the 2026 World Cup that they will co-host, while Uruguay want to keep a good run going under Marcelo Bielsa.

Both teams know each other well, and Uruguay’s past wins over Mexico still sit fresh in the minds of many fans.

Mexico need a strong performance at home after a few rough results, and this game gives them a chance to show improvement.

Uruguay, on the other hand, want to keep their rhythm and show that they are still one of the strongest sides in South America.

This article breaks down the match, team news, likely formations, where to watch, and a simple prediction.

Team News

Mexico Team Updates

Mexico come into this match with mixed form. After winning the Gold Cup, they have gone four games without a win in friendlies. They have drawn some, lost some, and the goals have not been flowing.

Their home form in recent matches has also been shaky, with one loss and three draws in their last four home games. In two of those matches, they did not score at all.

Coach: Javier Aguirre. Mexico automatically qualify as hosts of the 2026 World Cup.

Recent form: Mexico have been inconsistent. They come into this match without a win in their last 4 friendlies (draws and a loss) since winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Home record: Their recent home form is shaky, they lost one, drew three of the last four on home soil and failed to score in two of them.

Player updates: Key player Edson Álvarez (Gold Cup Golden Ball winner) is back in the squad.

Hirving Lozano, Santiago Giménez, and Roberto Alvarado are expected to lead the attack.

At the back, players like César Montes and Johan Vásquez should handle the defensive line.

The big question for Mexico is whether they can finish their chances. They create opportunities but do not always make them count.

Uruguay Team Updates

Uruguay are in much better form. They are unbeaten in their last six matches and have won four of their last five. They have strong structure under Bielsa.

Key points from Uruguay’s side:

Darwin Núñez, their main striker, is unavailable this month.

But Bentancur, José Giménez, and Ronald Araújo could all be involved, which strengthens the midfield and defence.

They have exciting wide players like Facundo Torres and Pellistri, who can break forward fast.

The only concern for Uruguay is their away form. Most of their strongest results have come at home. Away from home, they have struggled a bit this year.
