Some good detail on Mexico team here:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/world-game/9...

"Since their Colombian coach Juan Carlos Osorio took charge in October, 2015, Mexico have a formidable record of 17 wins, three draws and just two losses. Since their 2-1 victory over New Zealand nine months ago, they have played 12 times for eight wins, three draws and just one loss, a 2-1 defeat at the end of May to 18th-ranked Croatia. After starting their tournament preparations with that loss, Mexico overcame Ireland (3-1) in another friendly before beating Honduras (3-0) and battling to a draw with the USA (1-1) in a pair of World Cup qualifiers to remain top of the six-team Concacaf final qualifying group with half the matches played.

...Kiwi fans will be very familiar with Oribe Peralta, who scored five goals in the 2013 World Cup playoff tie.".

Mexico average only 1.54 goals per game over the 11 games since we played them last October (11 games : 17 goals)

They have only scored more than two goals in two of their last 13 games.

They have scored more than one goal in only six of their last 13 games.

But all of their opponents were probably somewhat better than us.

Mexico have already played four games in the first 18 days of this month (one friendly, one Confederations Cup, two World Cup qualifiers)and eight games in total this year.
