The match itself
The 9 p.m. local time kickoff carries different weight for each side. South Korea enters as a perennial World Cup participant with deep tournament pedigree. Czechia is making its return to the World Cup after a prolonged absence from the tournament.
The -120 odds on South Korea suggest the market sees this as a lean rather than a lock. In English: bettors would need to wager $120 to win $100 on a Korean victory.
