The Czech Republic will take on co-hosts Mexico in their final World Cup 2026 group stage match at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. To reach a first knockout stage since 1990, the Czechs realistically need to win, while El Tri can experiment safe in the knowledge they have already won Group A.
Mexico have been clinical so far, beating South Africa 2-0 in the tournament opener before handing South Korea a clean 1-0 defeat last time out. Although Mexico have historically struggled against European opposition, winning just eight of 34 matches, their dominant record at the Azteca – six wins and two draws – will give them confidence. They have already won the group, which means they can stay at Azteca in the last 32 and, if they get there, the last 16. However, Javier Aguirre may choose to test his bench strength, which could be just what the Czech Republic needs.
The Czech Republic’s tournament has been frustrating so far, marred by costly late errors. They held the lead in both of their matches but only have one point to show for it. That includes a disappointing 1-1 draw against Bafana Bafana, a game they should have won comfortably but were undone by an overly defensive approach and eventually conceded a late penalty. However, a win here would take them to four points, which could be enough to secure qualification as one of the best third-placed teams. Dead balls and finding Ladislav Krejci and Tomas Soucek’s respective foreheads feel vital.
