FIFA World Cup: Mexico v South Africa Odds for June 11, 2026

Mexico v South Africa

The opening game of the world cup takes place tonight and I think this will be a game where South Africa will come to look for a point and I can see them sitting very deep in a bid to do just that with a defensive mindset. I can see the game playing very cagey and don’t forget also as hosts there will be a lot of pressure on Mexico, I believe if you offered Mexico a 1-0 win they would take it right now and in that regard under 2.25 goals has to be a strong runner for a game that is not a must win match for either side but a must not lose which goes for most of the games in the opening round of fixtures at this world cup. There is a strong trend that world cup’s opening games are usually quite low scoring affairs so happy to bet under 2.25 goals scored.
