Mexico team news and form: Avon and colleagues doing well
The CONCACAF Nations League finalists will surely do their best to put a spoke in Uruguay’s wheel on the 6th of June. However, despite defeating Bolivia 1-0, we weren’t convinced by Lozano’s boys’ performance. After all, they saw only 41.0% possession on the ball against the underdogs from South America.

Player to watch: Darwin Nunez
Who else did you expect to see featured as the player to watch in our Mexico vs Uruguay prediction? Yes, Darwin does have a hard time settling in England, but he is still one of the key performers for Liverpool. We fully expect to see him among the starters for Uruguay against Mexico.
Darwin needs to bounce back
Darwi Nunez scored 11 goals and supplied teammates with eight assists in 36 league games for Liverpool in the Premier League. He made plenty of mistakes as well. We are sure he’d like to prove he has what it takes to be considered one of the top strikers in the World right now, with a goal versus Mexico.
