Mexico
El Tri come in with two victories already over Germany and South Korea and control their own destiny to advance. Mexico would either need a win or a tie today to advance, if they lose, they will need help elsewhere. Mexico will look for their explosive counter attack, led by playmakers Hirving “Chuckie” Lozano and Carlos Vela to lead El Tri into the next round.
0'
Sweden
Sweden come into this game hoping to rebound from a heartbreaking loss against Germany, when Toni Kroos scored in the last minute. Sweden need both a win and a German loss or tie to advance, or have a better goal difference if both Sweden and Germany win. They can also advance with a tie and a German loss, as well as a loss and a German loss, but have a better goal difference than both South Korea and Germany. Sweden will look for midfielders Emil Forsberg and Ola Toivonen to control the tempo of the game and lead them to victory.
