Javier Hernandez
Mexico’s record ever goalscorer Javier Hernandez heads into the tournament looking to add to his 49 international goals. ‘Chicharito’ or the little pea is a proven goalscorer with a good goalscoring record everywhere he has played. He is an experienced striker and has played for top European clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen.
Hernandez is one of only a few true goal poachers in word football and his positional sense in and around the penalty area seems to be telepathic at times. With Hernandez in their side, Mexico can always be hopeful of finding a goal.
In this article we will take a look at the Hernandez World Cup odds, including those on Chicharito winning the Golden Boot. We will also predict how Mexico will fare in Russia.
Hernandez And Mexico World Cup 2018
Mexico are usually a very entertaining side to watch, delivering creative and inventive football. We expect much of the same in Russia, and Hernandez is sure to be involved in a lot of the play.
Mexico begin their adventure in Russia against holders Germany on the 17th June in Moscow. A tough game to begin, but one in which Mexico could score a goal or two. However, we expect Germany to be victorious.
Mexico then face South Korea, which should be their least difficult match. The Latin Americans will be expecting three points in this match. Mexico then face Sweden in their final group match in what will likely be a battle for second spot. We think Mexico will win the match to progress to the knockout stages.
Mexico are likely to face Brazil in the last 16. This is likely to be a step too far for Mexico and we predict that they will exit the competition at the same stage as they have for the previous six World Cups.
