FIFA World Cup odds show Mexico as the favorite in this matchup, with South Africa priced as a clear underdog and a relatively low expected goals total of 2.5.
Handicap game: Mexico (0.5, -1)
This is a handicap split line, where your stake on Mexico is divided between two handicaps: Mexico -0.5 and Mexico -1.
On the -0.5 part, Mexico must win the match in regular time for that portion of the bet to cash; a draw or loss is a loss on that half.
On the -1 part, Mexico must win by at least 2 goals for a full win; if they win by exactly 1, that half of the stake is refunded (push), and a draw or loss loses that half.
South Africa moneyline (+475)
The moneyline of +475 means South Africa is the underdog, and a winning $100 bet on them would return $475 in profit (total payout $575).
The implied probability of +475 odds is around 17–18%, indicating the sportsbook estimates a relatively low chance that South Africa wins the match outright in regulation.
Draw moneyline (+280)
A draw at +280 means a $100 stake would profit $280 if the game ends level after 90 minutes plus stoppage time.
Because this is a 3-way moneyline (Mexico / Draw / South Africa), any Mexico win loses both draw, and South Africa moneyline bets, and any draw or South Africa win would beat Mexico’s
moneyline but not necessarily its handicap markets.
Total goals over/under 2.5
A total of 2.5 goals means you are betting on how many goals both teams score combined in regular time.
Over 2.5 wins if the match has 3 or more total goals.
Under 2.5 wins if the match has 0, 1, or 2 total goals.
