    Our score is the one that fits the goals we expect, so it is not always the biggest percentage above: the single likeliest score is usually a low scoring draw, and even that lands only about 12% of the time. This is the model's working, not a tip. The bets it leads to are below.

    8/10
    Mexico in exceptional form at 9.56/10 with home advantage in a World Cup opener. Korea solid at 8/10 but Mexico's 1.8 GPG and tournament pressure favor the hosts at value odds of 2.0.

    7/10
    Combined 3.3 GPG between the sides. World Cup group openers historically produce goals as teams attack for vital early points. Mexico's attacking form (9.56) suggests they push forward.
    Both teams to scoreLoss
    Yes@ 2.04
    7/10
    Korea averaging 1.5 GPG and disciplined enough to find a goal even in defeat. Mexico's high-tempo style at 1.8 GPG can leave gaps. Both nations need to attack in a group opener.
