🔴 Live Streaming NowMatch Preview: Can Host Mexico End England's World Cup Dream?
Mexico arrive at this Round of 16 tie unbeaten through the group stage and Round of 32, having kept a clean sheet in every match so far — a rare feat matched only by Italy's 1990 side. Julián Quiñones has been directly involved in four goals and leads El Tri's attack alongside veteran striker Raúl Jiménez.
England, meanwhile, are through to the last 16 for a third straight tournament, powered by Harry Kane's five goals — including a match-winning brace against DR Congo. Thomas Tuchel's side will have to deal with Estadio Azteca's altitude, a passionate home crowd, and forecast thunderstorms that could disrupt play under FIFA's lightning-safety protocols.
This is only the fourth time England have faced a World Cup host nation, and Mexico have never lost a World Cup match at this stadium (W8 D2). CS Sports breaks down everything you need before kick-off.

CS Sports Match Prediction
Mexico's unbeaten run, home advantage and Estadio Azteca's altitude make them slight favourites, but Harry Kane's finishing and England's knockout experience keep this finely poised. Expect a tight, cagey contest that could go all the way to extra time.
