Mexico vs. Colombia: Javier Hernandez Will Strike Down Colombia in Friendly

While Mexico does not need extra confidence to defeat Colombia, Javier Hernandez is going to carry the squad to a dominant performance against Los Cafeteros.

Mexico will look to keep its winning ways going against Colombia in a special International friendly that will take place in Miami on Wednesday night. El Tri has got off to a hot start this year, with a dominant victory against Venezuela, and they have the legs to do it again in this match. 

Hernandez has been playing the best football of his career lately. He has scored eight goals in just 21 Premier League games with Manchester United, and will look to keep his hot streak going against the Colombian squad. 

Making him even more valuable, he has been doing it in multiple roles. He is starting to get more comfortable coming in as a sub to give his club a change of pace on offense, which has made him a more lethal striker. 

In addition to his scoring prowess with Manchester United, Hernandez has racked up 23 goals in 33 games with the Mexican squad. No matter where he is playing, or what role he is in, he always seems to find the back of the net. 

Hernandez is not expected to start this game, so he is once again going to be the X-factor off the bench for El Tri. He will be on the field when the squad needs offense and isn't afraid to show his aggressiveness with the ball when necessary. 

Colombia's center back duo of Mario Yepes and Luis Perea is old. They don't have the legs necessary to keep up with the Mexican squad for an entire game. They can keep it close early, but eventually Hernandez and co. will break through. 

Radamel Falcao is going to shoulder the offensive burden for the Colombians, and while he is capable of keeping the team in it, they are eventually going to get overwhelmed by the speed and quickness of Hernandez.
