Mexico Predicted Lineup vs Suriname

Expect Javier Aguirre to field a lineup similar to the one that defeated the Dominican Republic on Saturday.

The strike duo of Santi Gimenez and Raul Jimenez has been very good for Mexico, and should once again start on Wednesday.

Aguirre has many options on defense, but should stick with his trusted pair of Israel Reyes and Cesar Montes, with captain Edson Alvarez playing ahead of them in a holding midfield role.

Mexico predicted lineup (4-4-2): Luis Malagon (GK) – Jorge Sanchez, Israel Reyes, Cesar Montes, Jesus Gallardo – Roberto Alvarado, Erik Lira, Edson Alvarez, Orbelin Pineda – Santiago Gimenez, Raul Jimenez.
