There will be tension in the air when Czechia faces South Africa in Atlanta on Thursday as both nations scramble for a redemptive victory after defeats in their respective openers.

Neither nation covered itself in glory during their first outings in Group A, although Czechia certainly provided a stronger performance than nine-man South Africa could manage in defeat to co-hosts Mexico in front of a packed Estadio Azteca.

With eight third-placed qualifiers for the last 32 in addition to each group’s top two, one victory could well be enough for progression to the knockout phase. For Czechia and South Africa, their best shot at clinching three precious points arrives on Thursday.

Here’s how audiences can catch a possibly decisive clash.
