Mexico: Recent Form
Mexico arrive at this fixture in excellent shape. Their last six matches have produced four wins and two draws — an unbeaten run — with a form string reading W-W-W-W-D-D (most recent first). They have scored 11 goals and conceded just 2 across those six outings, averaging 1.83 goals for and a remarkably low 0.33 against per match. Four clean sheets in six games reflects a defence in dominant form, and they have failed to score only once in that spell. Their points-per-game rate of 2.33 is the mark of a side that has been consistently hard to beat in the build-up to the tournament.

South Korea: Recent Form
South Korea’s recent record is a study in contrasts. Their last six matches show four wins and two defeats, with no draws, and a form string of W-W-W-L-L-W (most recent first). They have scored 9 goals and conceded 6, averaging 1.5 goals for and 1.0 against per match. Three clean sheets sit alongside two matches in which they failed to score, pointing to a side capable of both controlling games and going quiet. Their 2.0 points per game over this period is solid, though the back-to-back losses to Côte d’Ivoire (0-4) and Austria (0-1) in March represent a dip that their three subsequent wins have partially addressed.

How Mexico and South Korea Compare
Mexico’s recent form is notably more consistent than South Korea’s — an unbeaten six-match run, four clean sheets, and a goals-against average of just 0.33 per game paint the picture of a well-organised side heading into the World Cup. South Korea have shown they can score freely, as their 5-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago demonstrates, but the 0-4 defeat to Côte d’Ivoire earlier in the year exposed a vulnerability that Mexico’s attack, which scored five against Serbia, will be keen to test. In the head-to-head, these two sides have consistently produced goals — only one of their six meetings has finished with fewer than three — which adds further context to South Korea’s task of keeping Mexico at bay.
