Free World Cup Pick Today: Both Teams to Score

With the top spot in Group A already secured, conventional wisdom would suggest that Mexico is going to rotate its lineup ahead of Wednesday's clash with Czechia. That will likely be the case, but with the desire to put on an entertaining show at Estadio Azteca, we're still expecting to see some goals in this matchup. El Tri has adopted a defense-first mindset under third-term manager Javier Aguirre and the Mexicans have not allowed a goal through the first two games of the tournament. This current edition of the Mexican National Team is missing some of the firepower on offense that previous versions have featured, but nonetheless, the players that take the field in this contest will be looking to generate a memorable moment at one of the world's historic cathedrals. With the top spot already locked up, Aguirre will likely allow his team a little more freedom in this match. The defensive intensity will likely take a back seat as Mexico has already seen a red card in this tournament and Brian Gutiérrez is sitting on a yellow card, which would potentially keep him out of the Round of 32. Czechia is one of the weaker teams in this event, but the Czechs have scored in each of their first two matches against South Korea and South Africa. He looks a little out-of-form at the moment, but Patrik Schick is still one of the most dangerous strikers in this tournament. Both teams to score has cashed in Czechia's last six matches. The Czechs need a win to secure a spot in the knockout round, and that should create some end-to-end action. At the time of posting, both teams to score is available at:

Free World Cup Pick Today: DR Congo vs. Colombia - Both Teams To Score (+120)

Colombia were 3-1 winners against Uzbekistan in their World Cup opener. But it wasn't as easy as the final score suggests. Things were level 1-1 after an hour. Luis Diaz put Colombia ahead for good in the 65th minute. The third goal came deep into stoppage time.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Republic of Congo scored its first-ever World Cup goal AND earned its first WC point in a somewhat shocking 1-1 draw with Portugal last Wednesday. Keep in mind this is only the second ever WC appearance for Congo and the first in 52 years.

I can understand why Colombia is considered the odds on favorite for this match, especially knowing they've now scored multiple goals in each of their last three matches. That said, Congo are a difficult side to beat. They’ve scored in 17 of their last 19 matches. With Both Teams To Score currently sitting at plus money, it's worth a shot. I think a 1-1 final is the most likely outcome in this one.
