Shape: Mexico usually line up in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, with Álvarez anchoring midfield and full-backs providing width. They prioritize structured possession, aggressive counter-pressing and quick wide combinations to feed Giménez in the box.

Numbers: Recent qualifiers and Copa América matches show Mexico generating decent non-penalty xG through volume crossing rather than clear central chances. Defensively their xG conceded is moderate, with vulnerability in transition when full-backs advance simultaneously.
