World Cup Predictions Today: Mexico vs. Czechia

Best Bet: Czechia Over 1.5 Goals (+255)

While Mexico have yet to give up a goal this tourney, motivation should play a huge role in this one, and I'm intrigued by these +255 odds on Czechia to score multiple goals.

Mexico have already won the group and have nothing to play for. They're not going to just roll over in a home World Cup match, but at the same time, they're not going to be playing with anywhere near the same level of desperation that Czechia is.

Czechia, meanwhile, have to have a win to advance. There's no other path for them. While I nearly went with Czechia's moneyline at +270, I'm opting for this bet instead because Czechia's attack has shown life in this tourney, with Czechia netting a goal in each match thus far. At the same time, they haven't yet kept a clean sheet, and Mexico is +280 to get blanked in this one, meaning Czechia will likely need at least two goals -- maybe more -- to get a win.

Czechia have the attacking talent to hurt Mexico, and they'll be doing everything in their power to get a victory. That makes these +255 odds appealing to me.
