Mexico and Sweden will lock horns in a friendly game at the Estadi Montilivi on Wednesday.
Sweden have failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and after this match, they will meet Algeria in a friendly game on Saturday. This will be their first match since their Nations League group-stage game against Slovenia, which ended in a 1-1 draw in September.
Mexico are playing their second warm-up game ahead of the World Cup finals after recording an impressive 4-0 win over Iraq last week. Alexis Vega, Rogelio Funes Mori, Jesus Gallardo, and Uriel Antuna scored in that win and will be looking to continue that form in this match.
Mexico have been drawn into Group C alongside Argentina, Poland, and Saudi Arabia and will get their World Cup underway next Tuesday against Poland.
