Mexico and Australia go head-to-head at the AT&T Stadium in a mouth-watering friendly matchup on Saturday.
Jaime Lozano’s side head into the weekend fresh off the back of a superb charge to the 2023 Gold Cup title and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Mexico clinched their 12th CONCACAF Gold Cup title as they picked up a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Panama at the SoFi Stadium.
Prior to that, El Tri picked up six points from a possible nine to finish first in Group B, before seeing off Costa Rica and Jamaica in the first two knockout-stage ties to reach the final.
Mexico have now won six of their last seven matches, including a 1-0 victory over Panama in the CONCACAF Nations League third-place playoff.
Australia, on the other hand, continue to struggle for results as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Argentina on June 15.
Graham Arnold’s men have now lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, with March's 3-1 victory over Ecuador being the exception.
Australia, who are also on a run of two back-to-back away defeats, are currently 27th in the latest FIFA World Rankings, 15 places below Saturday’s hosts.
