Mexico vs Poland Prediction and Betting Odds | World Cup Group C
Mexico vs Poland Betting Preview
Tuesday’s Mexico vs Poland clash in Group C will likely go a long way toward determining who advances to the knockout round alongside Argentina. Poland’s Robert Lewandowski has scored the third-most international goals by any European player, but has never found the net in a World Cup match.

Mexico vs Poland Analysis
With the World Cup only coming around once every four years (or four-and-a-half years in this case), excitement is always at an all-time high for the opening matches. I don’t want to throw too much cold water on Tuesday’s slate, but the other three matches don’t exactly jump off the page from an excitement and entertainment standpoint.
This one has the potential to steal the show. Plan your brunch break around this one.
No Time for Warm-ups
The World Cup doesn’t get played on paper and nothing is ever as easy as it looks, but Group C appears to be pretty clear-cut: Argentina is the unquestioned class of the group, Saudi Arabia is going to struggle mightily and the second team to advance will come between Poland and Mexico.
That means that this is a must-win match right off the bat, especially for Mexico. El Tri plays Argentina next while Poland gets them third. If Argentina wins its first two matches and has the top spot secured heading into that third match with Poland, we may see Argentina sit some of its top players in a meaningless match, giving Poland an opportunity to steal some unexpected points. Mexico can’t take that chance and needs to go for the win here. A draw does very little to help either team.
Just Needs One
Lewandowski will get most of the headlines prior to this one. He’s never scored in a World Cup match and has struggled to find the score sheet in most of Poland’s major tournaments over the last decade. Neutral observers will be hoping he gets at least one during this tournament so that he doesn’t have to continue wearing that badge.
While the spotlight shines on him, Poland’s questionable defense is staying off the radar. Kamil Glik and Jan Bednarek are expected to start in the backfield. Glik is 34 years-old and playing in Italy’s second division, while Bednarek has only made two appearances for Aston Villa this season. Mexico will certainly fancy its chances at creating some opportunities against that pairing.
Mexico vs Poland Prediction
Both teams to score is available at +105 at DraftKings. We already highlighted why we felt both teams would play on the front foot and be aggressive in this contest.
Mexico’s recent results are hard to digest because CONCACAF is such a quirky region, but Poland’s recent results suggest that they’ll have no problem playing an open contest.
Poland found the net in all 11 of its World Cup qualifiers, with BTTS cashing in seven of those 11 qualifiers. BTTS cashed in all three of Poland’s Euro matches last summer with final scores of 2-1, 1-1 and 3-2.
At DraftKings, both teams to score is available at +105. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is available at +165. Those appear to be attractive options for what we hope is an entertaining match on Tuesday.
