Prediction Preview, Lineups, H2h for Mexico vs South Korea – September 10, 2025

One of the international friendlies will occur overnight Wednesday at Soldier Field in Chicago, where Mexico will play against South Korea. Both teams have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup and are using this match to prepare for the tournament. Betting options for the outcome of this game are available with appealing odds.

Match Preview

The Mexican national team recently concluded a successful Gold Cup campaign, winning their 10th title and solidifying their position as the leading team in CONCACAF. However, “El Tri” could not continue their winning streak in their last match, finishing in a 0-0 draw with Japan while playing with ten men after Cesar Montes was sent off.

Still, Javier Aguirre’s team remains unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions. They have shown strength by winning both the Gold Cup and CONCACAF Nations League finals and aim to keep this momentum going in preparation for the upcoming World Cup. In their past matches against South Korea, Mexico has an upper hand with four wins and two losses.

South Korea enters the game with confidence after successfully finishing World Cup qualifying and most recently earning a 2-0 victory over the USA. Son Heung-min was a standout performer, scoring a goal and providing an assist. He is nearing the records for both the most goals and appearances for the national team.

Following a setback in the East Asian Cup final against Japan, the “Asian Tigers” bounced back, showcasing their defensive strength with five clean sheets in their last six matches. With a good mix of attacking skill and defensive stability, South Korea is proving tough against even strong opponents.

Probable Lineups

• Mexico: Malagon, Sanchez, Purata, Vasquez, Gallardo, Ruiz, Alvarez, Pineda, Vega, Jimenez, Alvarado
• South Korea: Cho, T.S. Lee, J. Kim, M. Kim, H.B. Lee, Seol, Kang In, Paek, Kim, J. Lee, Heung-min
