A confident Mexico will be eyeing their second win to seal a pre-quarterfinal berth when they take on South Korea in a Group F match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup at the Rostov Arena here on Saturday.
The South Americans were impressive during their 1-0 win over defending champions Germany in their campaign opener where they put on one of the best team performances.
Meanwhile, the Asian side will be under pressure after going down 0-1 to Sweden on Monday and are facing the prospect of being eliminated at the group stage in a second consecutive World Cup.
Korea head coach Shin Tae-yong will certainly be wanting something special from his side to keep themselves alive in the mega event.
The Koreans played well in their first match, but found the going tough against the tall, physically strong Swedes.
While the Koreans did well in the midfield, the well-organised Sweden defence coupled with the Europeans' physical advantage proved too much for them.
While most of the Mexican players do not have too much of a physical presence, their superior skills and tactical ability will present a different sort of challenge for the Koreans.
