Either way, a victory will all but guarantee at worst a spot among the best third-place teams.Should Mexico continue their impressive form, the tournament opens up with home games through to the last 16, so beating South Korea will be of the utmost priority.Under manager Javier Aguirre, the hosts are organised, hard to break down, and carry a genuine threat in front of goal through Ral Jimnez and Santiago Gimenez, who surprisingly began on the bench against South Africa.Jimenez scored a brilliant header to see off South Korea last week, the 35-year-old's first World Cup goal, while Gimenez bagged against the same opponents in September 2025's most recent meeting between the sides, a 2-2 draw.South Korea were praised for their resilience in their come-from-behind win against Czechia in the second game of the tournament. The Taeguk Warriors dominated but didn't let going a goal down affect them.Hwang In-beom and Oh Hyeon-gyu both found the net, while Son Heung-min continues to provide an experienced head in the side. This despite a spat with the South Korean media after some disparaging comments made off-camera about the country's most-capped player were leaked.The key question remains whether South Korea can cope with Mexicos energy in front of a home crowd. Estadio Akron in Guadalajara holds around 48,000 supporters and will be a cauldron for this encounter.Mexico vs South Korea: Group AFourFourTwo's predictionMexico 2-2 South KoreaFourFourTwo are predicting the same scoreline as when the two nations last met.DisclaimerWe test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses.
