When the Saudi national team defeats Mexico in the third round of Group C matches on Wednesday, the Green Falcons would have a bright chance of making it to the knockout round of 16 at the World Cup 2022 for the first time in 28 years, and the chances of such a scenario are good.

The Saudi squad will have six points, while the Mexican team will have a single point. On Saturday, Mexico lost 2-0 to Argentina before drawing with Poland in the first round.

Saudi Arabia lost 2-0 to Poland in its second round of matches on Saturday. In the third round of the World Cup, the Green Falcons will face their Mexican counterparts.

After two matches, Saudi Arabia is second in Group C after securing three points from its stunning victory over Argentina. Poles won four points from two matches, Argentina three points from two matches, and Mexico one point from two matches to top their group. Green's balance will rise to four points even after a draw with Mexico, while Mexico's balance will drop to two points.

Upon a Mexican victory, the Saudi team's chances will disappear as Mexico will increase its points balance to four.

There is no doubt that the Saudi victory over Argentina is the biggest Saudi victory in World Cup history. Morocco and Belgium were defeated by the Green Falcons in 1994.
