Mexico looking to advance in Women's World Cup

Group B Japan plays its second match in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2011 at Leverkusen, Germany today against Mexico. El Tri are a complete team that’s equal parts skill and fitness. However, Mexico did not play like the favorite in their first matchup against England, but should come out strong against Japan. Japan and Mexico are both ready to battle in order to advance in the 2011 Women's World Cup. I won't expect Japan to just simply roll over and let the favorite (Mexico) own the pitch. So, although Mexico will probably set the pace, Japan should provide a stiff defense. Additionally, both Japan and Mexico have a experienced group of players and intelligent coaches. So, each club's game plan will be well plotted.

After the first round, Japan leads Group B with three points and Mexico has just one. Fifa gave the time for this matchup at 13:00 until 15:00 GMT. Please leave your prediction for this matchup below.
