After a slightly turbulent qualifying campaign which saw them change managers, Mexico finished strongly and go to the World Cup in decent form and decent World Cup odds to win the tournament.
Mexico's limitations over the past twenty years have been well exposed and they have proved they are good enough to get out the group but not good enough to progress to the Quarter Final. This means you can take advantage of the Mexico World Cup odds by backing them to go out in the second round.
Back Mexico's stage of elimination to be the Second Round
Mexico are about the right odds to win the World Cup, they are in the top twenty sides but simply are not going to be good enough to get close to winning the World Cup.
Mexico look to be about the right odds so there isn't much room for trading. This means the best exchange bet will be to back Mexico to qualify from their group.
Recommended Bet: Back Mexico To Qualify From Their Group
By buying or selling Mexico in the outright tournament index you are probably just going to make a small profit or loss either way. It should be better to buy Mexico performance in the group index, where they should put up a good show and qualify, at least as runners up.
