Projected final score: 1-1<\/h3>

Mexico's structural disruption, with Edson Alvarez forced into central defence after Montes' suspension, limits their usual midfield dominance. Still, their unbeaten World Cup record against AFC opposition across five attempts and the altitude advantage in Guadalajara support the 1X prediction at 2.00<\/a> or better, keeping a home win or draw firmly in range.<\/p>

Both sides carry genuine attacking threat but defensive vulnerabilities on each end point toward a low-scoring, tight affair. Korea's Son Heung-min can exploit Mexico's reshuffled backline for at least one goal, while Mexico's forward line should find a response. 1.57<\/a> reflects the cautious, counter-oriented nature of both setups here.<\/p>
