Neither Mexico nor Poland have high-octane offenses and this game's total is a tick lower than normal as a result. Poland's primary offensive contributor is Robert Lewandowski. Can he provide enough punch to give his team the edge?
Group C is one of the trickiest to predict heading into the, in large part due to the two teams that will square off today. Mexico and Poland have both underperformed at times over the past year, but they each have enough talent that you could see them both qualify for the knockout stages.
They’ve failed to win any of their last nine matches against teams in the World Cup, dating back to last summer. In those matches, they’ve scored a total of just four goals. They’re creating plenty of chances, they just aren’t converting them. There’s no question about who scores the goals for Poland. Robert Lewandowski is the player all eyes will be on, especially those of Mexico’s defense. His 76 goals are the most all-time for Poland, and the Barcelona striker is an imposing physical presence who can score with his feet and in the air.
Piotr Zielinski will be the man tasked with finding Lewandowski. The Napoli midfielder is in solid form, with six goals and seven assists for his club this season. He will likely find space to operate against Mexico, who were exposed by Sweden mid-week and have continually made mistakes at the back.

They had suffered, and slapped away doubts, and persevered to feel an explosion. At 10:36 p.m. here at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, they scored the goal that instigated it — and for an hour, it appeared that they'd won the U.S. men's national team its 2022 World Cup opener.
