Two nations in contrasting form square off in a friendly matchup as Mexico lock horns with Uzbekistan at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Tuesday.
While Srecko Katanec’s men have lost their last two matches, El Tri head into the game unbeaten in four straight outings across all competitions.
Mexico turned in a superb show of fighting spirit last Saturday as they came from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Australia on Saturday.
Prior to that, Jaime Lozano’s men were on a three-game winning streak, including a 1-0 victory over Panama in the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July.
Mexico are now unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions, picking up six wins and one draw since mid-June.
Uzbekistan, on the other hand, were left empty handed for the second consecutive game as they fell to a 3-0 loss against USA last time out.
This followed a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Iran on June 20 which saw their run of six straight games without defeat come to an end.
Uzbekistan will look to return to winning ways as they ramp up preparations for the upcoming AFC Asian Cup in January.
