AFTER stunning World Champions Germany last Sunday, Mexico find themselves in pole position to qualify for the Last 16 in Group F.

There is however, a scenario where all three of Germany, Sweden and Mexico could end up on 6pts and the group will be decided by goal difference, which makes it imperative that not only do they win today, but win well.

Hirving Lozano's first-half goal was enough to pull off the result of tournament so far, but they may still rue missed chances that would've seen them win by a bigger margin. The emotional scenes at the end of the match reflected the magnitude of the result, now they need to ready themselves for a different challenge against the South Koreans.

Mexico have now lost just two of their past 18 World Cup group games (W9 D7) and are quietly fancied back home to reach a ‘quinto partido' or fifth match.

South Korea were winless in 2014 and haven't won in seven World Cup matches now. Although it took a penalty to beat them they were dominated by the Swedes and will need a big improvement if they're to trouble the impressive Mexicans.

Son Heung-Min is the obvious danger but if Mexico can cut off the supply to him there doesn't appear to be much of a threat from the Red Devils.

Mexico are slightly on the short side at 8/11 and it's hard to value across the board. Mexico managed 4 shots on target against Germany in a match where they enjoyed just 34% possession. I expect they'll have more of the ball today and Even money on them having over 5.5 shots on target looks better value.
