Mexico
DDWWWW 📈
Mexico fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 2-0 WC victory over South Africa.
In that game, Mexico managed 61% possession and 16 shots on goal with 4 on target. For Mexico, the goals were scored by Julián Quiñones (9') and Raúl Jiménez (67'). South Africa had 3 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.
Under three goals per game were recorded in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Mexico have taken part. Regarding the goal split during this period, opposing sides scored a total of 2 and Mexico managed the sum of 11. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see if that trend will be sustained in this game.

Prediction
Here is a game where Korea Republic will have to work hard as a team to breach the defence of this Mexico team who we reckon will win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We’re therefore expecting a narrow 1-0 winning score for Mexico after 90 minutes.
A close call.
