Mexico enters Group A as co-host with multiple home matches at Estadio Azteca, fueling trader consensus on their 52.5% implied probability to top the group through superior FIFA ranking, squad depth, and opening fixture against South Africa. South Korea sits at 22.5% on the strength of consistent World Cup experience and attacking options led by key veterans. Czechia at 18.5% benefits from recent play-off grit and UEFA pedigree but faces a tougher path in an expanded field. South Africa trails at 6.2% despite 2010 hosting familiarity, limited by lower ranking and historical struggles against stronger sides. With group stage matches beginning June 11, recent previews highlight home advantage and form as primary drivers of current pricing.
