2018 FIFA World Cup - Predicting the Winners of Each Round of 16 Match

Brazil vs Mexico

The 5-Time Champions have been on a roll

Continuing their two-decade-long trend of qualifying for the Round of 16, Mexico once again made their way to the Knockout stage. However, the fact that they defeated Defending Champions Germany and knocked them out of the competition has turned their World Cup quest into a fairy tale journey. However, what awaits them in the next stage could very well bring a sad end to their journey.

In the only all American match in the knockout stage, the underdogs Mexico will now face Brazil, the odds-on-favourite to clinch the title. Already a 5-Time World Champion, Brazil have been on a roll as of late, looking to bury the bad memories of their humiliating defeats in the last World Cup in 2014.

Brazil has always made it past the Round of 16 stage since 1990, and, even though Mexico have played their best game so far, it seems highly unlikely that they will fail to make it to the Quarter Final stage this time as well

Prediction: Brazil triumphs
