Alexis Vega was a standout player for Mexico at the last World Cup, taking nine shots across his three starts (4.15 per 90). 

He’s a direct winger and is priced pretty generously here to get a few shots away. Vega managed two shots in both of the warm-up games he started for Mexico, also creating six chances across these matches - so it’s clear he will be someone to keep an eye on for the host nation.

Mexico managed 13+ shots in all three of their warm-up games against Ghana, Australia and Serbia - registering tallies of 16+ shots in the games against Serbia and Ghana. Their shot line for this game is set at 15 efforts, so we can expect Vega to contribute to this tally with a few attempts from wide areas.

Vega plays his club football for Toluca in Mexico. He managed 46 shots in his 17 starts across the two phases of the domestic Mexican campaign, working out to an average of just under 3.0 shots per 90. 

There’s clear value here when taking this angle with Bet365, the exact same selection is priced as low as 1.2 with other major bookmakers. It’s also good value when looking at the other prices for Mexico’s forwards:

Santiago Gimenez - 1.2 for 2+ shots
Raul Jimenez - 1.22 for 2+ shots 
Armando Gonzalez - 1.28 for 2+ shots
Brian Gutierrez - 1.36 for 2+ shots 
Julian Quinones - 1.36 for 2+ shots
