Portugal will be out to stage another upset when they take to Russia for their first ever appearance at the Confederations Cup, starting their journey against Mexico on Sunday 18th June. Inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal won the European Cup against all odds after beating France in the final, while Mexico, the CONCACAF champions, have been at the Confederations Cup a few times before and will depend on Ronaldo’s former team mate at Real Madrid, Chicharito, to lead their quest. Portugal head to the clash having bagged four wins and a loss in their last five matches. They have scored 16 goals and conceded four in that duration, which came on the back of a good run since winning the European Cup. They have suffered only two losses from the last 17 matches. Mexico have also done fairly well in their last five matches, picking three wins, a draw and a loss, scoring nine and conceding four. They have had one loss in the last 13 matches. Head to head, the two nations have met thrice and Portugal have won two, with one game ending in a draw.
