Wales and Mexico will go head-to-head in an international friendly in Cardiff on Saturday.
Ryan Giggs' side will look to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat against Belgium in their 2022 World Cup qualifier earlier this week.
The Dragons were in stellar form up until that point, having been unbeaten in their previous five games. Giggs will know his side can perform much better than they did against Belgium when they take on Mexico on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Gerardo Martino's Mexico side have been on a 10-game unbeaten streak dating back to October 2019. El Tri have not played a game since November and will be looking to continue their unbeaten run on Saturday.
Both teams will have exciting attacking talent on display, which should make for a great clash.
Wales vs Mexico Head-to-Head
Mexico have never lost to Wales. In their four meetings, El Tri have managed to win two, with the other two being draws.
The last time these two sides played each other was in 2018, with Mexico coming away as 2-0 winners.

Wales vs Mexico Team News
Wales
Ryan Giggs will be sweating on Joe Allen's fitness. The midfielder was forced off with what looked to be a hamstring injury against Belgium. James Lawrence and Tom Lockyer are also major doubts for the game.
Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies will miss out on this round of fixtures through injury.

However, Mexico will count on the attacking talents of Napoli's Hirving Lozano and Porto's Jesus Corona. Real Betis wonderkid Diego Lainez will also likely be on display at some point against Wales on Saturday.
