Mexico netherlands betting preview

Taking over when Mexico were in the doldrums having sneaked into a playoff through a most undignified of back doors, Herrera safely saw the team through to Brazil and has so far ensured that a dismal for the Mexico national team is already a distant memory. Such positivity is also reflected in the tactics of the former Club America coach, which encourage attacking play and have removed the shackles from a talented group of players.

The team had often been exposed as overly adventurous leading into the World Cup, but he has managed to get the balance right when the real action got underway. His still superb passing range has been a major plus, as has his leadership traits on a team previously lacking them. It was fitting that it was his header that brought about the crucial opening goal in the deciding group game against Croatia. Mexico will now take on the Netherlands in Fortaleza looking to continue their run and end a streak of five successive World Cup exits at the Round of 16 stage.

Even so much as a smile is generally hard to come by for the hugely respected Dutch coach who will take charge of Manchester United once his World Cup comes to an end.

Thus those in charge turned back to the man, who, more than any coach working today, has been associated with the principles of Dutch soccer -- formation, proactive, attractive play and a focus on developing youth. The Flying Dutchmen are easily one of the best teams in the world at the moment.

After years of struggles, the team is now slowly returning back to its glory days. The team did lose in the final of the Nations League the last year, but they really did perform well, and despite that heartbreak, they have secured a newfound confidence in themselves from that campaign.

Going forward, they harbor hopes of a title-winning run in the upcoming Euros, and the Nations League. Likely, we can expect a strong performance from Netherlands this Wednesday. However, the Tricolor will not make things easy. They are in terrific form at the moment, and they also were superb in the previous Gold Cup.

Moreover, they had recorded the latest h2h win, and they also have regularly scored goals against this opponent.
