Day 8 brings the first of the second round of group games, with Czech Republic, Switzerland, Canada and Mexico all looking to build on their openers. It’s a matchday 2 card, so I’ve read back through the opening games and weighed up who deserved their result before settling on these. I’ve put together a bet builder for every game with bet365. Tap any slip and the legs load straight into your bet slip.
Czechia were unlucky to lose their opener to South Korea, they edged the chances and deserved at least a point, so I’m happy to back them to bounce back with a win here. South Africa were well beaten by Mexico and I expect the Czechs to dominate the ball and the corner count that comes with it. Mokoena sits in front of the South Africa back line and does plenty of the dirty work, so 1+ foul is well within range. 13/5 with bet365 looks a fair price on a Czech side I expect to respond.

Switzerland were held by Qatar in their opener but looked the better side and will fancy this, so the win or draw safety net suits at the price. Bosnia drew with Canada and tend to get stuck in, so I have them down for most cards in what should be a competitive game. Ndoye gives the Swiss real thrust off the flank and should get his shots away, so 1+ on target makes sense, and I expect enough quality for over 1.5 goals. 12/5 is a tidy price on a Switzerland side I expect to take control.
Canada grabbed a late draw with Bosnia and on home soil in Vancouver I fancy them to go one better against a Qatar side that battled to a draw with Switzerland. I see this as a tight, controlled game rather than a shootout, so under 3.5 goals fits. Oluwaseyi carries a threat off the bench and from the start and should get his shots away, while Johnston gets up and down that right side and leaves the odd one in, so 1+ foul rounds it off. 11/5 is good value on a Canada side with the crowd behind them.
Both sides won their openers so this is effectively a battle for top spot in Group A, and I expect South Korea to carry their threat from the Czechia win into this one, so Korea to score is the anchor. The corners +2 line gives Korea a healthy head start in a game I think they take to Mexico. Gallardo has plenty of defending to do against that Korea front line and a foul is well within range. 16/5 with bet365 is a tasty price for a 2am kick off that should be worth staying up for.

How we pick our World Cup bet builders
Each bet builder is built around angles we actually trust, not just long odds for the sake of it. That means team form, player shots on target and foul numbers, corner counts, referee card averages and how we expect the game to play out. We’d rather give you a 4/1 builder with four legs that all make sense than a 50/1 lottery ticket.
