Tip: Both Sides to Score @ $1.91
This shapes as a tricky one to get a read on, with both sides likely content to take a point to kick off their campaign.
The big question is how the Czech Republic handle their first World Cup appearance since 2006, while Korea arrive with a refreshed look following several key changes to both their coaching staff and playing squad.
On form, the Czech Republic have the edge, winning 17 of their last 19 internationals. Korea, meanwhile, have been involved in tighter contests, with each of their last seven matches producing under 2.5 goals.
With Patrik Schick leading the line and a clear threat from set pieces, the Czechs should be able to find the net. But in what looks a well-balanced contest overall, Both Teams to Score stands out as the safest play.
