Mexico (2-0-0) vs. Czech Republic (0-1-1) — Group A Match Preview
Mexico arrive at Monterrey Stadium with a perfect 2-0-0 record and top spot in Group A, while Czech Republic sit third on 1 point and need a result to keep their tournament alive. The co-hosts have been the tidiest team in the group, scoring 3 goals without conceding once across their two matches, where the Czechs have leaked 3 goals and managed only 2 of their own.
Raul Jimenez gives Javier Aguirre’s side a proven focal point up top, the Fulham striker having logged 9 goals and 3 assists in 27 Premier League starts this season for his club. On the other side Patrik Schick is the danger Czech Republic will lean on, a forward who buried 16 goals in the Bundesliga this season for Bayer Leverkusen. Edson Alvarez anchors the Mexican midfield as the captain figure, while Czech skipper Ladislav Krejci marshals a back line that has to tighten up after shipping 3 in two matches.
There is history pressing on both ends here too, with Mexico carrying the weight of a tournament they are hosting for a record third time and Czech Republic playing their first World Cup since 2006 as an independent nation. A win sends Mexico through as group winners, and for the Czechs, who reached this stage by beating Denmark on penalties in the UEFA playoff, nothing less than three points will do.

Players to Watch: Mexico vs. Czech Republic
Mexico
Raul Jimenez — Striker. The Fulham forward is the focal point of Mexico’s attack and arrives in form, with 9 goals and 3 assists across 27 Premier League starts this season for his club. He also fired 74 shots over that league campaign, the kind of volume Aguirre will want pointed at a Czech defense that has already conceded 3 times in Group A.
Edson Alvarez — Midfielder. The captain figure in midfield, Alvarez sets the tempo for a Mexico side that has yet to concede a goal at this tournament. He chipped in 1 assist over 10 starts for Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super Lig this season, but his value here is the screen he provides in front of a back line that owns the group’s only clean sheet through two matches.
Guillermo Ochoa — Goalkeeper. At 40 years old, Ochoa is chasing a record-equalling sixth World Cup, and the experience behind him is part of why Mexico carry a 0 goals-against column into the final group match. His command of the area gives the co-hosts a settled presence behind a defense that has not been breached in Group A.
Czech Republic
Patrik Schick — Striker. Schick is the primary goal threat for Czech Republic and comes in off a prolific club season, having scored 16 goals for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. He took 72 shots across 23 starts in that league run, and with his side needing to chase the match, his finishing is the clearest route back into contention.
Ladislav Krejci — Defender. The captain and defensive leader, Krejci will be tasked with containing Jimenez and quieting a Mexico attack that has scored in both group matches. He is no passenger going forward either, adding 2 goals and 1 assist across 27 starts for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League this season.
Tomas Soucek — Midfielder. A box-to-box presence for West Ham, Soucek brings goals from deep, having scored 5 times in 24 Premier League starts this season for his club. With Czech Republic forced to push for a result, his late runs into the area and 26 shots over the league season make him a threat on second balls and set pieces.
