Mexico will face off against Saudi Arabia at State Farm Stadium in the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Saturday. Both teams are set to play the second quarterfinals of the competition.

Mexico have been enjoying a massive support from local fans, thanks to their huge diaspora in the cities where the team have played so far. They topped Group A with seven points to reach the knockout stage after beating Dominican Republic and Suriname, while sharing the spoils with Costa Rica.

El Tri are conscious of the fact that much is expected of them in this tournament. They are the defending champions and the most successful team in the competition, boasting nine titles. However, there are other serious contenders as well like the United States, Costa Rica and Panama. Progressing from this stage may not be an uphill battle for Mexico.

Saudi Arabia are the guest team of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup but their performance so far suggests they have a strong appetite. They finished second in Group D behind the United States to qualify for the knockout phase, leaving behind Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti. However, this game would be a real test for the visitors.

Al-‘Arabiyyah have played eight matches this year, winning four, drawing two and losing two. Their participation in this competition will help coach Hervé Renard fine tune them ahead of the next World Cup qualifying matches slated for October. Mexico and Saudi Arabia are set to meet for the second time, with Mexico winning the first clash 2-1.
