Mexico has taken the 2026 FIFA World Cup by storm on home soil.
El Tri has won both of its opening Group A games against South Africa and South Korea, scoring three goals without conceding to already secure its place in the knockout rounds.
Czechia, meanwhile, has accrued just a single point and put in a couple of rather drab displays—creating little in the final third—meaning its place in the next round depends on it beating the co-host.
Given Mexico’s current form, home advantage and head-to-head record—El Tri won the only previous meeting between the two sides back in 2010, though that carries little weight now—it is hard to imagine anything other than another victory.
