For the first time in this World Cup Mexico is a slight underdog as it hosts England at the Estadio Azteca in the Round of 16.
El Tri is trying to reach the quarterfinals for the third time in its history, as it reached that round the other two times it was on home soil in 1970 and 1986.

England, the No. 4 team in the world, has not been overwhelming in this World Cup but has, as expected, found a way to reach this point and rates as a slight favorite.

The winner of Mexico vs. England will play the winner of Brazil vs. Norway. That quarterfinal match will be on Saturday, July 11, in Miami.
After starting against Ecuador in a knockout-stage game and playing well, Gilberto Mora is widely expected to get another start against England.
Odds from BetMGM.com
Mexico +200, England +140, Tie +210. Total goals over/under: 2 1/2
Paul Carr writes: "England has also allowed 32 shots, along with the sixth-worst shot quality in the tournament, so this match figures to be low-scoring, as suggested by the under 2.5 goals line at -180. With two stout defenses and two offenses that haven't been totally clicking yet, plus the better team playing on the road in a hostile cauldron, I like the draw here."
Nick Hennion writes: "At the 2022 World Cup, Mexico generated only 0.3 expected goals against eventual winners Argentina. Mexico even staggered to a 0.7 xG performance against Poland. That leads me to predict Mexico will regress against its underlying metrics against a stout Three Lions defense."
The site gives England a 42.6% chance to win. It gives Mexico a 27.5% shot to win. It gives the match a 29.9% chance to end in a draw after regular time (the match cannot end in a draw).
It writes: "Mexico scored twice in the first 31 minutes and their defence restricted the South Americans to just one shot on target. They look supremely confident in home conditions and should be backed to qualify against an England side who survived a huge scare in the round of 32."How to watch World Cup: World Cup 2026 TV channels, times, schedule for round of 16 matches
It writes: "After their recent victory against Ecuador, Mexico is determined to keep their momentum going. Following their 2-1 triumph over Congo DR, England have boosted their morale as they seek to beat Mexico on their home ground."World Cup betting: World Cup 2026 odds for betting on every round of 16 match
Gareth Freeman writes: "This game should be close, but with those advantages, Mexico look the more likely winners and they can grind out a 2-1 win over England. Mexico are scoring on average two goals per-game in this competition and England haven’t conceded more than twice in any of their last 14 games. Quiñones has three goals in four games at the World Cup, and he stands out as a potential Mexican scorer if he is available, but another Kane effort has to be the best goal scorer option. The Bayern Munich man enjoyed an outrageous season at club level with 36 goals in 31 Bundesliga games and he’s been a reliable performer in an otherwise inconsistent England team with five goals in four games."
