Mexico conclude their 2026 World Cup group stage campaign with a clash against Czechia at the Estadio Azteca in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The co-hosts have won back-to-back games against South Africa and South Korea to confirm their place in the knockout rounds.
Two hard-fought wins have ensured Mexico a place in the Round of 32, and head coach Javier Aguirre could make wholesale changes to keep his side fresh for the knockouts.
