Guehi Backs Mexico as Favorites Ahead of England’s Last-16 Test
England defender Marc Guehi says Mexico have the edge as hosts in their World Cup 2026 last-16 tie at the Estadio Azteca. Guehi points to the home crowd, perfect record and high altitude as key factors. He believes the intense atmosphere will be a fun challenge for Thomas Tuchel’s side. Mexico have lost just two of 89 competitive matches at the Azteca and look confident after topping their group. England return to the famous stadium 40 years on from Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ quarter-final. Sunday’s match at 2,200 metres above sea level promises to test England’s resilience and patience in extreme conditions.
