Our Prediction
Mexico are one of the only three teams in this World Cup that won all their matches while England are also unbeaten but they drew their second group stage match.
With the home advantage and crowd support behind them, Mexico will definitely look to use the advantages in their favour. However, England is a tough opponent but still, we say its going to be a very close encounter with none of the teams finding it easy. 1-1 during the normal time but England wins it in extra time to showcase that they are a genuine contender for this World Cup.
