Mexico Football are back for another pair of international friendlies in November as the countdown towards the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues.
El Tri will face South American rivals 
Uruguay Football and Paraguay during the November window, giving the joint-host nation a couple of good tests before the 2025 calendar year comes to a close.
The Mexicans — currently 14th in FIFA world rankings — had a difficult October window, losing 4-0 to Colombia before drawing 1-1 with Ecuador. They went winless in September as well, settling for draws with Japan and South Korea.
Mexico’s last win came in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final, when they beat 
United States Soccer 2-1 in Houston to claim their 13th continental title.
First up is 15th-ranked Uruguay, who are undefeated in their last five games in all competitions. La Celeste defeated the Dominican Republic 1-0 and Uzbekistan 2-1 in their October fixtures.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side finished fourth in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying, with seven wins, seven draws and four losses for 28 points — tied with four other nations. Their +10 goal differential was tied for second-best with Colombia, behind Argentina’s +21.
Mexico and Uruguay have faced each other on 23 previous occasions, with both sides earning eight wins each. Los Charruas have dominated the matchup of late, however, winning the last three meetings by a combined score of 11-1.

Uruguay Team News and Predicted Lineup
Uruguay boss Marcelo Bielsa has a talented squad to call upon for their upcoming games against Mexico and the United States.
La Liga center-back duo Ronald Araujo and Jose Maria Gimenez have proven to be quite solid in World Cup qualifying. Despite missing Federico Valverde for the November window, Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur and Manchester United’s Manuel Ugarte provide bite and aggression in the middle of the park.
There are question marks around the attacking line, however, as Luis Suarez and Co. have moved on, and Darwin Nuñez is unavailable for selection.
Uruguay predicted lineup (4-3-3): Santiago Mele (GK) – Nahitan Nandez, Ronald Araujo, Jose Maria Gimenez, Matias Viña – Rodrigo Bentancur, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Manue Ugarte – Facundo Torres, Rodrigo Aguirre, Facundo Pellistri.
Mexico Team News and Predicted Lineup
Mexico will surely want to field a strong squad as they play on home soil on Saturday.
Hirving Lozano has been reintegrated into the national team over the last few months and could be in line for a start alongside Raul Jimenez and Roberto Alvarado.
Captain Edson Alvarez is also back in the squad and will surely start against Uruguay. 17-year-old phenom Gilberto Mora should also get some minutes, but will likely come off the bench.
Mexico predicted lineup (4-3-3): Luis Malagon (GK) – Israel Reyes, Cesar Montes, Johan Vasquez, Jesus Gallardo – Erick Sanchez, Edson Alvarez, Orbelin Pineda – Hirving Lozano, Raul Jimenez, Roberto Alvarado.
