Mexico vs Paraguay Injuries

Now, we look at the players who will be missing the Mexico vs Paraguay clash because of their injury troubles. Mexico boss Javier Aguirre was really unfortunate to lose his crucial winger Hirving Lozano in the recent match against Uruguay. Lozano had to be taken off at half-time, and it appears that the unpredictable winger has suffered a hamstring injury, meaning he will definitely be ruled out for this upcoming Mexico vs Paraguay clash.

Gustavo Alfaro is already being forced to deal with the absence of crucial centre-back Omar Alderete. The Sunderland defender is still recovering from a concussion issue and won't be available for this match. Antonio Sanabria, who suffered a hamstring knock in the final stages of the recent match against the USA, is also a major doubt for the game.

Mexico vs Paraguay Prediction

The recent Mexico vs Paraguay matches have actually been pretty entertaining affairs between the two South American teams. However, with both teams being in quite underwhelming form heading into this match, that same kind of spark cannot be expected in this one.

The upcoming match could actually end up being a bit of a cagey affair with a lot of aggression and physicality involved. Mexico's low morale levels could actually work in Paraguay's favor, and they should be able to snatch a narrow win as long as able to be at their clinical best. Here is our Mexico vs Paraguay Prediction.

Predicted Scoreline: Mexico 0-1 Paraguay
