Injuries and Suspensions
Group A Standings & Scenarios
Mexico have already qualified and secured 1st place in Group A. Because the primary tiebreaker in this tournament is head-to-head results, Mexico's 1-0 victory over South Korea ensures they cannot be overtaken for the top spot, even if South Korea wins tonight to match them on 6 points. Tonight's match against Czechia is purely a tune-up game for El Tri.
To Finish 2nd (Automatic Qualification): Czechia must win against Mexico AND South Africa must beat South Korea.
If both Czechia and South Africa win, they will both finish on 4 points. Because they drew 1-1 head-to-head, 2nd place will be decided by overall goal difference (Czechia currently sits at -1, while South Africa is at -2).
If Czechia wins but South Korea wins or draws, Czechia will finish 3rd with 4 points - a tally that virtually guarantees advancement to the Round of 32 via the third-place wild card spots. If Czechia draws or loses, they are highly unlikely to progress.

Czechia vs Mexico Match Preview
Czechia and Mexico meet at Mexico City Stadium on June 24 in the final Group A fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the co-hosts already through to the Round of 32 and Miroslav Koubek's side desperate for a result.
Mexico arrive at the Estadio Azteca having won their first two matches without conceding a single goal. Javier Aguirre's side beat South Africa 2-0 on Matchday 1, then edged South Korea 1-0 in Guadalajara thanks to Luis Romo's second-half finish. They are top of Group A with six points and have already secured their place in the knockout rounds.
For Czechia, the situation is far more precarious. Koubek's team drew 1-1 with South Africa in Atlanta on Matchday 2, with Michal Sadilek's early goal cancelled out by a late Teboho Mokoena penalty. That result left them on one point, level with South Africa at the foot of the group.
A win for Czechia at the Azteca would move them to four points and keep their qualification hopes alive, depending on the result in the parallel South Africa vs South Korea fixture. A defeat, and they are eliminated. Aguirre has spoken of wanting to use this match to build momentum before the knockout rounds, even with the group already decided from Mexico's perspective.
Patrik Schick and Adam Hlozek lead the Czech attacking threat, while Santiago Gimenez and Julian Quinones carry Mexico's danger up front. The Azteca crowd will back El Tri, but Czechia have nothing to lose.

Czechia Team News
The big blow for Czechia is defender David Jurasek, who is sidelined with a muscular issue and is expected to miss the remainder of the tournament.
If previous games in this tournament are a barometer, Czechia is projected to stick to their robust 3-5-2 formation, relying heavily on physical dominance and superior aerial threat.
Mexico Team News
Mexico, meanwhile, boast a clean bill of health. With the pressure off, however, Javier Aguirre find himself in a luxurious position ahead of this final group stage fixture. The game now represents for Mexico the perfect opportunity to rotate his squad and hand minutes to fringe players.
