Kick-off at 16:00 UK/ 17:00 CET
Venue: Rostov Arena.
South Korea
Considering the level of resistance anticipating them in Gathering F, South Korea's annihilation to Sweden in the opening match looks all the all the more harming.
The Asian outfit were the most recent in a developing rundown of groups to fall casualty of VAR, however they could have no protestations at either the granting of the punishment which prompted the main objective of that diversion, nor the last outcome itself.
South Korea neglected to have a solitary shot on focus as they drooped to crush in their opening World Container amusement out of the blue since 1998, and their expectations of meeting all requirements for the last 16 presently look dreary.
The level of Mexico's execution against Germany will have struck as much dread into South Korea and Sweden as it would have infused conviction into El Tri, and after this amusement a confrontation with those injured Germans is standing by.
Korea neglected to win a solitary match at the 2014 World Glass and would need to pull off a stun in the event that they are to abstain from tumbling to a comparable destiny this time around, with their winless run presently extending back seven World Container recreations, including five annihilations and three out of a column.
Korea have additionally neglected to keep a perfect sheet in 12 of their last 13 World Container trips, surrendering in every one of the last seven which, when combined with the assaulting toothlessness they appeared against Sweden, is a losing equation.
Tottenham Hotspur's Child Heung-min is the man well on the way to end what is currently a three-amusement keep running without scoring for Korea, in spite of the fact that he attempted to make his detriment for Sweden as his side's ongoing structure reached out to three annihilations and no wins from their last four trips.
As the most minimal positioned group in Gathering F it was continually going to be a battle for South Korea to advance, yet now they have a mountain to climb and it might take motivation of the level of their popular 2002 crusade for them to disturb the chances now.
Mexico
Mexico typically begin the World Glass well - with now five wins and a draw from their last six opening diversions - however few could have anticipated such a noteworthy execution when Germany were uncovered as their first adversaries of this present summer's competition.
The guarding champions were tore separated now and again by the energizing counter-assaulting of Mexico, and El Tri could have had in excess of a one-objective lead having misused various great shots amid an exciting challenge.
At last, that one-objective lead given to them by Hirving Lozano ended up being sufficient as they held tight in the midst of a late blast of German weight, and now the conviction that Mexico can get through the roof which has restricted them at late World Containers is more noteworthy than at any other time.
An alternate sort of amusement will be normal against South Korea; Mexico should adjust to being substantial top choices as opposed to fearless underdogs and accordingly will be probably not going to appreciate such a great amount of room in which to counter.
Be that as it may, Juan Carlos Osorio can likewise expect a considerably less perilous assaulting prospect at the opposite end of the pitch, with Korea neglecting to enroll a shot on focus against Sweden while Germany had 26 endeavors by and large in their opener.
Mexico will in this manner be certain of winning consecutive World Container recreations out of the blue since 2002, and in spite of that 16-year hold up their record in the gathering stages is noteworthy.
El Tri have lost just two of their last 18 World Container aggregate recreations, winning portion of those, yet it is past that phase when things get troublesome, and Mexico have slammed out in the last 16 in every one of their last six appearances at the competition.
The prevail upon Germany bears considerably more significance in such manner as Mexico are presently in shaft position to top Gathering F, which could see them maintain a strategic distance from a last-16 conflict with Brazil should the competition top choices recoup from their own particular opening-diversion mishap.
Mexico should first guarantee that they don't escape with their prevail upon Germany going into their two simpler gathering diversions on paper, however in the event that they can keep up the level of their opening execution then they could be dim steeds to go far in this competition.
