Mexico vs. Switzerland Picks

Mexico’s poor head-to-head record against Switzerland is a notable concern ahead of this showdown on Saturday.

Therefore, it could be worth siding with the Swiss landing a victory after going two without defeat since a high-quality group stage campaign in the Nations League at the end of last year.
