Mexico vs Portugal Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 03/28/26

Mexico prepare for their World Cup party with an international exhibition game against Portugal, but it may not be as entertaining as this summer’s party. El Try are a solid and robust defensive outfit, but goals are often in short supply when Mexico are in action. Javier Aguirre has seen 9 of his team’s last 14 matches fail to go over 2.5 goals, and a similar story is likely against Portugal. 

The hosts have a talented squad, but the emphasis is very much on control and possession, and with the European domestic action reaching a climax, manager Roberto Martinez isn’t expected to field a full-strength team in Mexico City. Play under 2.5 goals in what could be a closely-fought contest.

Mexico vs Portugal prediction: Under 2.5 goals (-125) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
