Chile U20 and Mexico U20 meet again after recent draw

What is at stake

Chile U20 and Mexico U20 meet again three days after a 1-1 friendly draw, with neither side arriving on a winning run. Chile are without a win in three, while Mexico have gone four matches without one.

Chile’s home defence against Mexico’s away record

In this competition, Chile have scored four and conceded four in four home friendlies, with one win, two draws and one defeat. Mexico’s away record across three friendlies is more concerning defensively: they have conceded seven goals, scored once and lost twice, with the other match a draw.

That contrast gives Chile a possible edge, but the broader figures offer Mexico some encouragement: across six friendlies in this competition, they have two wins, a draw and three defeats, and have kept two clean sheets. Chile have no clean sheets in their four matches in the competition.

A recent draw between the sides

The latest meeting, on 13 November, ended 1-1. Across the two listed head-to-head matches, Mexico are unbeaten, with one win and one draw; Chile have not won either.

Our prediction

Chile’s home defensive record in these friendlies looks stronger than Mexico’s away record, but the recent draw and Mexico’s unbeaten head-to-head record point to a close contest. Chile may have a slight edge, though a draw or a Mexico win remains a plausible outcome.
