Model Output & Final Recommendation
The Poisson model projects a 39% chance of a Mexico win, 35% for a draw, and 26% for a South Korea victory. The expected goals are 0.98 for Mexico and 0.89 for South Korea, contributing to a high 87% confidence score due to consistent data and form alignment. Over 2.5 goals is the recommended bet, with a 50% probability and odds of 2.38, offering a value edge of 7.98%.
