Mexico play Panama in an international friendly scheduled to take place on Wednesday night.
The Mexicans are going through a rather underwhelming spell of form, as they have failed to beat the opposition over the course of 90 minutes in their last three games.
There has been a grim mood in the Mexico camp in recent times, as the El Tri succumbed to a dramatic extra-time loss to the USA in the CONCACAF Nations League.
Meanwhile, Panama haven't lost their last seven games in a row. In the games they have played in 2021, they have managed to register a record of five wins and two draws.
Mexico vs Panama Head-to-Head
Mexico and Panama have played 16 matches against each other so far. Mexico have won 10 of those games, while four matches ended in draws. Panama won just two games.
In the last meeting between the two sides, Mexico beat Panama 1-0. Hirving Lozano scored the winner for the Mexicans in the 53rd-minute of the game.
