Where can you watch the international match Mexico vs New Zealand live? TV channel, line-up and start time

After another disappointment at a major tournament, the Mexican national team will continue to look to stop the decline when it faces New Zealand in a friendly at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.

El Tri has lost its top spot in the CONCACAF rankings. After their first World Cup group stage exit in decades, another disastrous result followed at this summer's Copa América: they were again eliminated in the group stage by Venezuela and Ecuador.

Jaime Lozano has retained his post as head coach as the federation desperately seeks consistency in the role, but he remains on thin ice as Mexico tries to find the right talent in a rapidly shrinking player pool.

New Zealand, ranked 94th in the world, won the OFC Nations Cup this summer and have dominated the Oceania confederation since Australia joined the AFC. The Football Ferns still harbor hopes of becoming a more competitive global force, but are often held back by their otherwise uncompetitive region.

Mexico vs New Zealand Prediction, Odds & Lines

• Result prediction: Mexico – New Zealand 2:1

El Tri have struggled against all sorts of opponents in recent years, conceding goals at inopportune moments and failing in the attacking third, but in this game on what is essentially their home soil they should be able to get a result.

While Mexico have never been more vulnerable from game to game, New Zealand are also a national team that has trouble filling the entire team with talent and will end up being outmatched. Their best chance is to frustrate El Tri with a defensive approach, but they will likely be outmatched for the full 90 minutes.
