As Saudi Arabia got a huge win over Argentina on the first matchday, the Green could have the final say on which national teams get to be among the best 16 teams of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Although there are some ghosts from the past that could make an appearance.
On the other side, Mexico will have the most difficult mission of all the national teams in Group C. The team managed by Gerardo Martino will have to win for the first time in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and at the same time score as many goals as possible, when they haven't scored yet.
Saudi Arabia Confirmed Lineup
Saudi Arabia's coach Hervé Renard will have a full 25-man roster to choose from for the most important match in Saudi Arabian football history ever. They could clinch a spot in the Round of 16 after 28 years, when the Green played in the first round of the knockout stage in the 1994 World Cup.
Saudi Arabia's confirmed starting lineup: Mohammed Alowais; Hassan Al Tambakti, Abdulelah Ali Awadh Al Amri, Ali Al Bulayhi; Sultan Al Ghanam, Ali Al-Hassanm Mohammed Kanno, Saud Abdulhamid; Firas Al-Buraikan, Saleh Al Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari.
Mexico Confirmed Lineup
Edson Alvarez's return to the starting lineup headlines as the main change from last lineup after the 2-0 loss to Argentina. This change is coming after Andres Guardado's medical report, which states he has sustained an injury that will require at least 10 days of recovery. Another big surprise is Orbelin Pineda, who will have his first minutes of the tournament.
Mexico's confirmed starting lineup: Guillermo Ochoa, Jorge Sanchez, Cesar Montes, Hector Moreno, Jesus Gallardo; Edson Alvarez, Orbelin Pineda, Luis Chavez; Hirving Lozano, Henry Martin and Alexis Vega.
