Get a 100% bonus up to £50 with 247Bet ahead of South Korea vs Czechia

After Mexico and South Africa get the ball rolling for World Cup 2026 in the iconic Azteca, the action swiftly moves west to Guadalajara, where South Korea and Czechia will vie for an early lead in Group A.

With the biggest ever World Cup just getting started, those looking for some extra value to supplement a football-heavy diet for the upcoming month or so can sign up to 247Bet, and score a 100% matched deposit up to £50 in the process.

South Korea have become World Cup mainstays since co-hosting in 2002 with Japan, but haven’t won a knockout game since that historic run to the semi-finals. 

For Czechia, meanwhile, it is their first World Cup since 2006 in Germany where a highly-rated squad underperformed and crashed out in the group stage. They have been regulars in European Championships, achieving a couple of quarter-finals and one semi-final appearance since the turn of the century.

Score even more value with 247Bet

All you need to claim the offer is head to 247Bet and opt in via the cashier. From there, make your first deposit – £20 or more will qualify, and anything up to £50 will be matched pound for pound by the bookie!

It’s a great time for a boost, what with 100 more games ahead of us before someone is crowned world champions in a month’s time!

South Korea’s stars to edge it

Mexico are the favourites to win the group and these two are expected to battle for second place, with third being good enough to qualify in eight of the twelve groups – although we won’t know which eight until all group games have played out.

South Korea have a couple of top players at both ends of the pitch in Bayern Munich centre back Kim Min-jae and attacking talisman Son Heung-min and these two will be crucial to stopping Czechia’s most potent weapon in Patrik Schick and breaking down their resolute defence.

• South Korea to win
• Over 2.5 goals

Outside of Schick, Czechia may struggle for creativity and goal scoring threat. They could be dangerous from set pieces, however, with West Ham’s Tomáš Souček.
