Mexico's Starting XI: Guillermo Ochoa; Jesús Gallardo, Héctor Moreno, Diego Reyes, Carlos Salcedo; Erick Gutiérrez, Andrés Guardado, Héctor Herrera; Hirving Lozano, Javier Hernández, Raúl Jiménez
Your starting XI for Mexico is: Guillermo Ochoa; Jesús Gallardo, Héctor Moreno, Diego Reyes, Carlos Salcedo; Erick Gutiérrez, Andrés Guardado, Héctor Herrera; Hirving Lozano, Javier Hernández, Raúl Jiménez.
Now let's take a look at the team news and analysis.
Giovani dos Santos was left off the roster for this one, raising some eyebrows. It's a bold move by head coach Tata Martino, but with fresh blood like Erick Gutiérrez and Hirving Lozano in the mix, it's understandable why he would want to give them a chance.
Captain Andrés Guardado will be looked to provide leadership in midfield, while Héctor Herrera and Erick Gutiérrez will be tasked with creating chances for Javier Hernández and Raúl Jiménez up top.
The back four of Guillermo Ochoa, Jesús Gallardo, Héctor Moreno, and Diego Reyes will have their work cut out for them against a high-powered Colombian attack, but they are more than capable of getting the job done.
It should be an exciting match, and one that Mexico has a good chance of winning.
