Best Bets by Brandt Sutton
- Under 2.5 Goals (+105)
With both teams having progressed to the knockout stage, a conservative approach can be expected. Historical data suggests low-scoring encounters when these teams meet. In past matchups, only six goals have been scored across their last six meetings.
“If recent history is an indicator, we may witness a low-scoring, cautious game on Sunday,” Sutton noted.
- 1st Half Draw (+130)
A draw in the first half has been common, with four of the last five matches ending scoreless. Given that Mexico often finds its rhythm in the second half, this match could similarly see off a tight first half.
