Czech Republic vs Mexico Preview
Czech Republic take on Mexico in this FIFA World Cup Group A clash at Mexico City Stadium (Estadio Azteca), with kick-off set for 21:00 on Wednesday 24 June.
Mexico have already secured top spot in the group, while the Czech Republic must win to reach the knockout stages.

Czech Republic began their World Cup campaign with a 2-1 defeat to South Korea before drawing 1-1 with South Africa at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Locomotive managed just 38% possession and three shots on target, with Michal Sadilek scoring their only goal.
Mexico opened the tournament with a 2-0 victory over South Africa before edging past South Korea 1-0 at Guadalajara Stadium. El Tri recorded 42% possession and four shots on target, with Luis Romo scoring the winner five minutes into the second half.
Only Meeting Went the Way of the Czechs
The teams have met only once before, with the Czech Republic recording a 2-1 victory in a friendly match in Hong Kong in February 2000.

Main Match Prediction
We’re confident when it comes to Mexico winning this Group A encounter. We will back the favourites at -114 and land a nice return if they secure victory.
The latest stats and xG data strongly favour Mexico. The only concern is that El Tri have already secured top spot in the group, but playing in front of their home fans should ensure there is no shortage of motivation.
The high altitude is another factor in their favour and we believe Mexico have enough quality to win this match even if they make a few changes. With that in mind, the odds look generous.
