Match preview: Netherlands vs. Mexico

Mexico will play their first game in Europe under Gerardo Martino as they face a tough Netherlands team in a friendly on Wednesday October 7th. It will be the first UEFA team that Martino faces as the coach of Mexico in what should be the toughest rival since their friendly against Argentina in 2019, the only game Mexico has lost under Martino. The Netherlands will debut their new coach Frank De Boer, who coincidentally succeeded Martino as head coach of Atlanta United. Yet with two Nations League games in the next day, The Netherlands should play with an experimental squad as they concentrate in the official tournament games later in the week.
