Attacking Stats Comparison
England’s attack has more volume and a higher xG base. Kane leads the FOX player data with five goals, 10 shots on goal, 2.5 xG, two player-of-the-match markers, and a 7.1 rating. Anthony Gordon adds two assists, which gives England another final-ball route.
Mexico have a more efficient scoring profile. Julian Quinones leads Mexico with three goals, while Roberto Alvarado has three assists. Raul Jimenez leads Mexico’s shots-on-goal and xG markers, so England cannot treat Mexico as a low-threat side.

Defensive Stats Comparison
Mexico’s defensive data is the strongest number on the page. FOX lists Mexico at 0.0 goals against per game, with Raul Rangel carrying a 21 keeper-save marker and four clean sheets. England must move the ball quickly because Mexico have protected central areas well.
England’s defensive line remains strong, but not as clean. FOX lists England at 0.8 goals against per game, with Jordan Pickford on two clean sheets. England can control the ball, yet Mexico’s altitude and transition threat can test their defensive spacing late in spells.
| Defensive Stat | Mexico | England |
|---|---|---|
| Goals Against Per Match | 0.0 | 0.8 |
| Team Clean Sheets | 4 | 2 |

Passing and Possession Analysis
The possession comparison favours England. FOX lists England at 72% average possession and Mexico at 54%, while the card normalizes the rounded values to a 57-43 visual split. England can use that control through Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, and the wide players.
Mexico can still manage the match without winning possession. Their defensive numbers show they can absorb pressure, then use Alvarado, Quinones, and Jimenez to attack open spaces. The key is whether Mexico can stop England’s first wave before Kane receives inside the box.
| Passing Stat | Mexico | England |
|---|---|---|
| Average Possession | 54% | 72% |
| Card Possession Share | 43% | 57% |
| Chances Created Avg | 8.5 | 13.3 |

Key Player Statistics
Kane gives England the clearest attacking profile before kickoff. His five goals, 10 shots on goal, and 2.5 xG make him the main finishing problem for Mexico. Bellingham still matters because his movement can open space for Kane and England’s wide runners.
Mexico’s key numbers sit across the front line and goalkeeper. Quinones leads the goals column, Alvarado leads the assists column, Jimenez leads shots on goal and xG, and Rangel owns four clean sheets. Mexico need that full spine to hold against England’s pressure.
| Player | Team | Key Data |
|---|---|---|
| Julian Quinones | Mexico | 3 goals in FOX leaders |
| Roberto Alvarado | Mexico | 3 assists in FOX leaders |
| Raul Rangel | Mexico | 21% keeper-save marker, 4 clean sheets |
| Harry Kane | England | 5 goals, 10 shots on goal, 2.5 xG |
| Anthony Gordon | England | 2 assists in FOX leaders |
| Jordan Pickford | England | 14% keeper-save marker, 2 clean sheets |
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG comparison gives England a clear attacking edge. FOX lists England at 1.9 xG per game and Mexico at 1.3 xG per game. England also have higher shot volume and chance creation, so their pressure has produced more repeatable attacking data.
Mexico’s xG argument depends on efficiency and game state. They score at the same goals-per-game rate despite lower xG and fewer shots. The full-time update should separate open-play xG, set-play xG, shot locations, goalkeeper saves, and blocked attempts.
