3. Czech Republic vs South Africa World Cup Betting Predictions

Now we come to our Czech Republic vs South Africa betting tips and begin with the match winner market. Czech Republic finished second in their qualifying group to Croatia and were forced to come through the play-offs. They beat both Republic of Ireland and Denmark via a penalty shoot-out following 2-2 draws.

South Africa caused a shock by finishing top of their qualifying group, above Nigeria. South Africa have played only five teams outside of Africa since 2018 and have failed to win a game, including a 1-1 draw with Andorra in 2024. Czech Republic lost to Faroe Islands in World Cup qualifying and needed any 85th minute goal to beat them at home. This could be a tight game and our first Czech Republic vs South Africa prediction is for the game to end in a draw at 3.26 (11/5) with 1XBET.

However, both teams scoring does not necessarily mean we will see a lot of goals. South Africa scored only 15 goals in ten qualifying matches, the lowest of all the group winners. Czech Republic scored 18 goals in eight qualifying games but 10 of those goals came against Gibraltar, a team ranked 203rd in the world. So, the next of our Czech Republic vs South Africa tips is under 2.5 goals at 1.62 (8/13) with 1XBET.

That leads us to our final Czech Republic vs South Africa prediction and that is for correct score. Given our Czech Republic vs South Africa betting picks above, our correct score prediction is 1-1 6 (5/1) at with 1XBET.
