This Thursday will continue the path of preparation of the Mexican National Team towards the Qatar World Cup 2022 and those led by Gerardo Martino will face a duel of high expectations against Uruguay, two World Cup teams that will seek to begin to mesh their final game idea.
Mexico comes from beating Nigeria 2-1, last Saturday, with a practically alternative team . Martino lined up his second block to see other returns and could get little. It was a pretty weak game in general.
Now El Tri will line up the team most similar to what will stop at the World Cup, with all the pieces of the puzzle ready.
Luis Suárez is not for Uruguay, but the reigning champion of the Champions League is: Fede Valverde. The person in charge of the goals will be one of the jewels in the transfer market, such as Darwin Núñez. Edinson Cavani just arrived and would not start among the starters.
Mexico will continue its preparation with a friendly against Ecuador on Sunday and then will face Suriname and Jamaica for the Concacaf Nations League; that will be on Saturday 11 and Tuesday 14 of June.
The Uruguayans will face the United States on Sunday the 5th and then Jamaica on Saturday 10.
