Raul Jimenez plays today? Czechia vs Mexico at the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Raul Jimenez should be one of Mexico’s main weapons against the Czech Republic this Wednesday (24), at 10pm (Brasília time), at the Azteca Stadium, in the third round of Group A of the 2026 World Cup. The experienced center forward, with a keen eye for goal, arrives motivated to help the host team end the group stage with three victories.
Mexico is already classified with six points and is looking to maintain its momentum. Jimenez, a reference in attack, can be selected among the starters or enter during the match to exploit the Czech defense, which needs to expose itself in search of the result. His presence increases El Tri’s offensive power against a Czechia desperate for points.
The Czech Republic is in a delicate situation, with just one point. To continue dreaming of a place, you need to win. This should open up spaces that Jimenez and teammates like Gimenez or Alvarado can take advantage of with quick counterattacks on the legendary Azteca.
Predicted lineups Mexico (4-3-3):Ochoa; Sanchez, Alvarez, Vasquez, Gallardo; Romo, Pineda, Lira; Alvarado, Jimenez, Vega (or Quiñones). Jimenez acts as goal man, receiving balls behind the defense.
Czech Republic (3-4-2-1):Kovar; Holes, Hranac, Krejci; Coufal, Cerv, Sadilek, Doudera; Sulc, Visinsky; Hlozek. Absence: Jurasek (injury).
