After the Mexican team obtained 7 out of a possible 9 points in the last FIFA matchday, which leaves them in a very good position for these last three matches, 'Tata' will most likely field his most trusted players as he has been doing throughout his entire process with the national team.

Even though the forms have not pleased the fans and many soccer critics, the results have come through and have kept the Argentinean coach as the leader of the Mexican team.

The reality is that Gerardo Martino will not make many changes to the lineup compared to the last FIFA date. Although he will be without several important players such as Guardado due to injury or Orbelin Pineda due to a layoff, the changes will only be positional but will maintain the base of the previous matches.

According to what we have been seeing, this is how the Argentine would line up for Mexico's match against the USMNT

Mexican national soccer team predicted lineup vs USMNT

Lineup: 4-3-3

GOALKEEPER: Guillermo Ochoa (América)

DEFENDERS: Julián Araujo (LA Galaxy), Néstor Araujo (Celta/ESP), César Montes (Monterrey), Gerardo Arteaga (Genk/BEL) 

MIDFIELDERS: Carlos Rodríguez (Cruz Azul), Edson Álvarez (Ajax/HOL), Héctor Herrera (Atlético de Madrid/ESP)

FORWARDS: Raúl Jiménez (Wolverhampton/ING), Hirving Lozano (Napoli/ITA), Alexis Vega (Chivas)

Gerardo 'Tata' Martino will start with this starting 11 to face the United States. Compared to the match against Panama, only two new players will be on the field. Edson Álvarez, in place of Andrés Guardado due to injury, and Julián Araujo, in place of Julio César Domínguez of Cruz Azul, who was also sidelined due to injury.

This match of the Mexican national team is of utmost importance as both teams are fighting for direct tickets to Qatar. If Mexico beats the United States, it would have the opportunity to stay in second place and remain close to Canada, who are in first place with 25 points, 4 more than the Mexican team.
