Group C has not at all unfolded as the world expected it to.
Saudi Arabia were somewhat sent back to earth when a 2-0 loss to Poland followed their shock victory over Argentina. However, a win against Mexico would guarantee their group stage escape, their first in 28 years.
Mexico's road to the round of 16 is far more improbable.
They need to beat Saudi Arabia and hope for an Argentine loss. The fact that they are yet to score a goal in Qatar doesn't bode well for their goal difference if Lionel Messi's men manage a draw.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the match in Australia on TV or online via live stream.
