Portugal secured their place at the World Cup after topping their qualifying group with 13 points from six matches, closing their campaign with a dominant 9-1 win over Armenia in their final game. However, they will face this matchup without Cristiano Ronaldo, a major absence for a team that still arrives with strong momentum.
Mexico, meanwhile, come off a convincing 4-0 win over Iceland, a match that featured mostly Liga MX players and highlighted their intensity and cohesion. They now face a tougher challenge against Portugal, in a game that will not only test their roster but also provide a preview of the level they will need ahead of the World Cup.
