This betting preview has the best Mexico vs England predictions and picks.

Mexico vs England Picks & Preview

Mexico have made the most of home advantage at the 2026 World Cup, winning four out of four without conceding a single goal. They have been excellent in attack and faultless in defence so far.

El Tri went up against South Africa, South Korea, and Czech Republic in Group A. They beat the South Africans in the opening game of the tournament and never looked back. They followed that up with victories over South Korea and Czech Republic to finish on nine points.

Javier Aguirre’s men made light work of Ecuador in Mexico City in the Round of 32. The prolific Julain Quinones opened the scoring, and Raul Jimenez doubled their advantage before the break in the 2-0 win.

Looking at the England World Cup odds before and during the tournament, England have been one of the favourites to lift the trophy. They booked their place in the knockout phase by taking seven points from a possible nine in Group L.

England beat Croatia 4-2 in their opening matchup before being held to a goalless draw by Ghana in game two. They secured their place in the last 32 as group winners with a hard-fought 2-0 win against Panama at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

England were the strong favourites against DR Congo in the Round of 32, but the African nation proved to be tricky customers for the Three Lions. They were behind until the 75th minute, but a brace from captain Harry Kane turned the match on its head in Atlanta.

Before failing to get out of the group at the last World Cup in Qatar, the Mexicans were knocked out at the last-16 stage in seven consecutive World Cups. Their win against Ecuador a few days back was their first knockout victory since 1986.

England reached the final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia and have been European Championship runners-up twice in a row. However, they have not won a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup.

Mexico have a phenomenal record at the Azteca, but we are backing England to do the business in the Mexico City heat. It will no doubt be close on the scoreline, so check out PricedUp’s odds of 10/3 for England to win and under 2.5 goals.

Our Prediction: England to Win & Under 2.5 Goals – 10/3

Mexico vs England Odds & Picks

Kane has been in red-hot form all season, breaking all kinds of records for club and country. The England skipper has helped himself to five goals in the tournament and is priced at 10/1 in the World Cup Golden Boot odds to finish as the top scorer.

Kane bailed England out against Congo in the previous round, scoring two late goals to fire his nation into the Round of 16. If the English are to go all the way in North America, the Bayern Munich ace will have played a pivotal role.

Kane backs himself to score anywhere at any time, and England’s No. 9 could get on the scoresheet at the Azteca. PricedUp are offering the eye-opening odds of 12/1 for Kane to score in both halves of this one.

Our Prediction: Harry Kane to Score in Both Halves – 12/1
