Home and Away Breakdown
The verified match list shows where the series has been played. The World Cup 2026 fixture moves the teams to Guadalajara Stadium in Guadalajara. Venue detail matters, but it does not change the official H2H count.
Guadalajara creates its own pressure and travel demands. Both teams need to manage the opening phase before the match settles into a group-stage rhythm.
World Cup Meetings
The teams have met 2 times at the FIFA World Cup. The 26 Jun 2026 fixture will be their next World Cup meeting.
