Pre-match analysis
How Czechia vs Mexico sets up
🇨🇿Czechia
Czechia will look to set the tempo, control the opening exchanges, and build through midfield and wide pressure.
🇲🇽Mexico· 4-3-3
Aguirre's recent Ghana tune-up pointed toward Raúl Rangel in goal, a young Mora-led attacking midfield, and a choice between Santiago Giménez, Raúl Jiménez, and Armando González at No. 9.
What to watch: the first duel after every turnover, set-piece quality at both ends, and which manager blinks first on substitutions as the game opens up.
