⚽⚽The long-awaited World Cup is finally about to kick off. Although Brother Jiu didn’t make any money from fan currencies, he will seriously research every match that comes next, and also hopes to offer his own reasonable and accurate advice and recommendations. Any views do not constitute investment advice—everyone should look at things rationally. Follow Brother Jiu to make money, make money. 💰💰💰
✅️This year’s World Cup is hosted in three locations: the home team is Mexico, and the other hosts are Canada and the United States. Tonight is Mexico’s opening ceremony, with a total of three opening ceremonies.
✅️First up is the first match:
Mexico vs South Africa (Venue: Estadio Azteca, Mexico) Mexico’s home match.
👉From a strength perspective on paper, South Africa has the lowest player valuation among the four teams. As an African team, South Africa’s players are physically strong and can handle challenges, but their individual technical skills are rather rough, their ability in positional play is average, and their attacking ability is also average. The team mainly relies on stubborn defense to stand their ground. The core player is Foster, from the five major European leagues, and the other players are mainly from two major domestic giants (Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates). Theoretically, they play the role of the disruptor in Group A, with enormous pressure to qualify.
However, for the home team Mexico, this match is attracting a lot of market attention, and the core points are:
1⃣ High-altitude home advantage: Estadio Azteca sits at an altitude of 2,240 meters, making the home advantage extremely obvious.
2⃣ Overall strength advantage: Mexico’s overall team strength is clearly higher than South Africa’s. Whether it’s the world rankings or the teams’ preparation status, Mexico is evidently better than the away side. This is also why people’s opinions are relatively unified for this match.
㊙️ Plus, this is the host nation’s World Cup opening match, so it naturally draws attention from all over the world. Having some hype is completely normal. Institutions keep pushing Mexico’s position down—its purpose is self-evident. And not long ago, in a friendly against the African team Ghana, Mexico shut them out and won, giving them a psychological edge. Although Mexico faces pressure at home, all the favorable factors have already been accounted for. Personally, I see no “cold” bet in this match, and Mexico is very likely to keep a clean sheet. A home win is the benefit here, and the probability of an upset is very low. We can also see that the odds for a home upset are quite high—so overall, Brother Jiu still expects Mexico’s home advantage to secure their first win!
💯Conclusion: Single bet—home win; parlay—home win for the win
👉Score reference: 2:0, 3:0
👉Half/full-time reference: Win-Win
