Mexico-South Korea prediction odds for matchday 2 of the 2026 World Cup

The match on the second day which will be played at the Estadio Akron in Zapopan can already determine the first place in the Group A standings: both teams, in fact, achieved victory in the previous round and now see the round of 32 within reach. Let’s find out the prediction and odds for Mexico-South Korea scheduled for the night of Friday 19 June at 3.00 am.

MEXICO-SOUTH KOREA PREDICTION ODDS

—

Mexico, one of the national teams playing at home (the others are the USA and Canada), made their debut by beating South Africa 2-0. A result that put the team in a position to advance to the direct elimination round in the event of a victory against South Korea in the second round of Group A. Coach Aguirre can be satisfied with the impact that his team had with the world showcase: the only problem was the expulsion in the final minutes of Montes, who will not be able to play this match due to the automatic one-round disqualification.

Against South Africa, the South Americans achieved their fourth consecutive victory and the friendly draws against Portugal and Belgium suggest a very competitive national team, capable of making headway in this tournament. Very organized defensive phase: only 4 goals conceded in the last ten games. This is why we suggest the Under 2.5, which is on the board at odds of 1.57 on Marathonbet, 1.56 on William Hill and 1.55 on Starvegas and Admiralbet.

THE STRENGTH OF KOREA

Mexico will have to pay close attention to their opponents, who were able to overturn the verdict of the match against the Czech Republic. Down by a goal at the start, the eastern national team equalized and then won the match, confirming its character qualities after a preparation for the World Cup that had left some doubts among the fans. The defeats against Ivory Coast 4-0 and the one against Austria 1-0 had set the alarm bells ringing. The reaction was seen immediately at the start of the tournament with a success so precious that it could open the doors of the round of 32 in the event of a positive result against Mexico.

The balance of this second Group A match could also result in a draw at half-time: the X sign at the end of the first half is at 2.08 on Stake, 2.05 on Pokerstars and Snai, and 1.99 on Vincitu.
