England vs. Mexico prediction, odds, betting line, time: 2026 World Cup Round of 16 picks
England faces Mexico in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 in Mexico City. While England is favored, analysts note the challenges of high altitude and Mexico's strong home-field advantage.
Mexico will try to extend their unbeaten streak to 13 games when they face England in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 on Sunday. The Mexican players will be full of confidence after easing to a 2-0 victory over Ecuador earlier this week. El Tri have won all four of their games so far at the World Cup 2026 without conceding a single goal. This game takes place in Mexico City, so El Tri will benefit from strong home support. The players will also be accustomed to the altitude, as the venue sits 7,220 feet above sea level, whereas England's players will not. England are still the favorites to win and look superior to Mexico in most departments, but it remains to be seen if the Three Lions can overcome the altitude, the partisan crowd and Mexico's robust defense.
