Mexico vs South Africa (Thursday, 8pm)

With the backing of a massive home crowd, Mexico faces heavy expectations to start their campaign with victory, while South Africa will look to silence the stadium and frustrate the home side early on.
On the pitch, Mexico is expected to dominate possession and dictate the overall tempo of the game. The hosts will lean on the vast experience of 125-cap striker Raul Jimenez to break through the opposition’s defence, whilst South Africa are likely to deploy a highly compact setup to weather the early storm.
