Analyst Notes
The Home Advantage
Mexico plays all 3 group games in Mexico (Mexico City, Guadalajara). No travel fatigue compared to Group B competitors.
South Korea's Travel Nightmare
Korea must travel from Monterrey to Mexico City on short rest for Matchday 2. Fade them in the 2nd half of that game.
