Matchday 2 reaches its second-round crunch on 19 June with three group games that could all but settle qualification. Mexico and South Korea, both on three points after Matchday 1, meet in Guadalajara; USA and Australia clash in Seattle with top spot in Group D on the line; and group-leading Scotland take on a dangerous Morocco side in Foxborough.

The value on the 1xBet board leans toward a cagey, low-scoring night - two of our three leads come from the goals markets, with the USA Asian Handicap the standout favourite play. Stack the three together and the 1xBet Best Combo pays 7.80, turning a $10 stake into a $78.00 return.

Top Picks for World Cup Day 9 | June 19

Mexico vs South Korea

Under 2.5 Goals (Totals) (1.62)

The totals market is the play here, with Under 2.5 Goals at 1.62 fitting a top-of-group clash where both sides already banked three points on Matchday 1. Mexico beat South Africa 2-0 and South Korea edged Czechia 2-1, so a draw suits both and a measured, low-tempo game is on the cards with qualification within reach. South Korea are well-drilled defensively and Mexico will not over-commit in Guadalajara. If you want the safer angle, Both Teams To Score - No at 1.72 covers a tight 1-0 either way.

🗸 Long Shot: Mexico to win 1-0 (Correct Score) @ 7.50
🗸 Extra Tip: Both Teams To Score - No @ 1.72

USA vs Australia

USA -1.5 Asian Handicap (Spread) (2.80)

With USA short at 1.65 on the moneyline, the value sits on the Asian Handicap, where USA -1.5 pays 2.80 after they tore through Paraguay 4-1 in their opener. Both teams won on Matchday 1, so this decides top spot, though USA carry a doubt over Christian Pulisic (calf), who pick up a knock on matchday one. Even so, Australia conceded chances against Turkiye and sit 27th in the world. If the Pulisic news turns negative, USA -1.0 at 2.08 is the safer drop-down, or pair the straight win with Over 2.5.

🗸 Long Shot: USA to win 3-1 (Correct Score) @ 9.50
🗸 Extra Tip: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.99

Scotland vs Morocco

Both Teams To Score - No (BTTS) (1.72)

The BTTS market leads here, with Both Teams To Score - No at 1.72 fitting two sides that are likely to play with caution. Morocco only conceded one big chance in their 1-1 draw with Brazil, while group-leading Scotland (1-0 over Haiti) could only manufacture two shots on target in their opening victory. Scotland will probably seek out a clean sheet in the knowledge that a point keeps them top of Group C. The complementary Under 2.5 Goals at 1.70 backs the same low-scoring read.

🗸 Long Shot: Morocco to win 1-0 (Correct Score) @ 6.50
🗸 Extra Tip: Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.70
