Rodolfo Cota will be the starting goalkeeper for Mexico

Cota will have to deal with the last-minute departure of the goalkeeper, Alfredo Talavara, who was unable to recover from a problem after the match against Netherlands last week.

It is worth mentioning that the footballer from Leon does not have much experience with the national team, as he has only played three matches.

Bensebaini defends in a wonderful way

The Algerian defender contributes a lot to his team, in defense he is difficult to pass and at set plays he is very dangerous with his aerial play and positioning. 

He is also one of the best elements of the team as he plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga.

Amazing level of the "Tecatito".

Jesús Manuel Corona presented a very high level in the match against the Netherlands.
He generated incredible plays, he ran and tried; he even stayed very close to score in a shot that came out very close to the rival team's post.

The Algerians are an excellent rival

In recent years, the Algerian national team has had an outstanding performance, as in 2019 they were crowned champions of Africa.

Algeria's last match was last Friday, October 9th, when they beat their Nigerian counterpart 1-0 in a friendly.

Mexico goes for a perfect closing on FIFA date

For the first national team games of the year, they have played an acceptable role. 

In the first friendly match of the year they defeated the Guatemalan national team with a convincing score of 3-0.

While in his last game they beat the Netherlands by the smallest of margins with a dubious penalty that was converted with great technique by the Tepejano, Raúl Alonso Jiménez.
