South Korea vs Mexico | FIFA World Cup 2026 Simulation | Highlights and Goals | eFootball Gameplay. Mexico vs South Korea Prediction: World Cup 2026 Match Preview Mexico vs South Korea: The Key Insights The Opta supercomputer expects Mexico to make it back-to-back wins as they overcame South Korea in a convincing 48.8% of pre-match simulations. South Korea could win their opening two matches at a World Cup for the first time in history. Raúl Jiménez has scored in his last two matches against South Korea. Mexico and South Korea will both hope to seize control of Group A at the World Cup when they clash on Friday at Guadalajara Stadium. Co-hosts Mexico breezed past nine-man South Africa with a 2-0 win in the tournament opener, thanks to goals from Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez. Yaya Sithole and Themba Zwane were both sent off for Bafana Bafana. Aided by their numerical advantage, Mexico found a teammate with 89.8% of their passes against South Africa (467/520). That marked their highest pass completion rate in a World Cup match on record (since 1966). The victory for Javier Aguirre’s side did come at a cost, though. Captain and key centre-back César Montes was dismissed in second-half stoppage time after being somewhat harshly adjudged to have denied Khuliso Mudau a goal-scoring opportunity. At the other end of the pitch, Jiménez will be expected to deliver again. The 35-year-old has scored in each of his last two appearances against South Korea, albeit both goals came in friendlies (November 2020 and September 2025). Jiménez and Quiñones could also both become the first Mexican player to score on each of their first two World Cup starts. Further history could await El Tri, too. Mexico have won their last two World Cup games (MD3 in 2022, MD1 in 2026) but they have never managed three consecutive victories in the tournament. However, Aguirre’s men have won only one of their three previous matches played at the Guadalajara Stadium, a 2-0 victory against the United States in an October 2024 friendly. The other two games, both against Ecuador, ended in a 2-1 defeat in September 2010, and a 1-1 draw in October 2025. South Korea will head into the game with confidence as well after Friday’s 2-1 comeback win over Czechia. Hwang In-Beom cancelled out Ladislav Krejcí’s opener before Oh Hyeon-Gyu delivered the winner 10 minutes from time at the same stadium they return to in Guadalajara. Mexico vs South Korea Head-to-Head A repeat of previous encounters will put Mexico in total control of Group A. El Tri have won both previous World Cup matches against South Korea, claiming a 3-1 victory at France ’98 before a 2-1 triumph in Russia eight years ago. South Korea have also never faced a host country at the World Cup, though they have failed to win all three past meetings with Concacaf opposition (D1 L2). Mexico have won all five of their tournament matches against Asian opposition, scoring two or more times in each of their last four such victories. Mexico vs South Korea Prediction Both teams will expect to qualify from Group A after their opening wins. Mexico progressed in 98.5% of Opta’s tournament predictions, while South Korea reached the round of 32 in 94.3%. But the Opta supercomputer leant towards a Mexico victory in this encounter as Aguirre’s side came out on top in 48.8% of 25,000 pre-match simulations. South Korea were afforded a 24.8% chance of winning in the same data-led simulations, while the draw accounted for 26.4% of scenarios.
