Hirving Lozano is the standard-bearer of an Aztec side that’s become a World Cup classic, built on intricate passing football, sudden changes of pace and full-backs who surge forward to flood the box. The well-drilled Swiss outfit embodies the European school of balance: a compact block, calculated pressing and a team that gives very little away while punishing every mistake.
It’s a showdown between El Tri’s attacking flair and Swiss precision, between a team that loves to push forward with the ball and another that feels right at home in cagey, tactical battles. In a group stage where one lapse can cost you qualification, every duel, every cross and every 50–50 ball between these two sides weighs like a major decision.
El Tri are out to raise the bar again after crashing out in the 2022 group stage, driven by the spark of Hirving Lozano, the killer instinct of Santiago Giménez and the authority of Edson Álvarez in the middle of the park. La Nati arrive on the back of a run of World Cups where they’ve consistently made it out of the group, with Granit Xhaka pulling the strings, Manuel Akanji bossing the back line and Breel Embolo posing a constant threat.
Don’t just watch it on TV: lock in your ticket and experience live a World Cup clash of maximum tension between Aztecs and Swiss.
