Match Preview :
South Korea vs Mexico match is going to be held on 23-th June at Rostov Arena (Rostov)
This is first match of world cup 2018 because of that both team have to show us their best skills, combinations, tactics to start group stage successfully.
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over defending champions Germany, Mexico will be looking to book their place in the knockout stages of the 2018 FIFA World Cup when they take on Korea Republic at Rostov Arena. The Mexican national team seems to be well balanced and seeing that the Koreans failed to impress in their opener.
A man to watch in the Asian side will be Premier League ace Son, but he is not capable of winning matches without the help of his teammates. Speaking of Mexico, all eyes will be on PSV winger Lozano, who made life difficult for Germany defenders in the first group game. Taking everything into account, Mexico are more of a team than Korea and they are likely to give fans yet another reason for celebration on Saturday afternoon.
The Favorite Team is Mexico, But South Korea will try to take minimum one point or win the match.
