2,200m altitude. Our model penalizes non-acclimatized teams. Mexico: 12 points, 0 conceded. Massive value.
Match 5: Portugal vs Spain (July 6)
AH Pick: Spain -0.25 @1.92 ★★★★ | O/U Pick: Under 2.5 @1.80 ★★★
Iberian derby. Spain's pressing superiority + Yamal's creativity edge it. Under 2.5 standard for derbies.
Match 6: USA vs Belgium (July 6)
AH Pick: USA -0.5 @1.90 ★★★ | O/U Pick: Over 2.5 @1.80 ★★★
Home advantage in Seattle. Medium confidence — trap game potential.

AH Pick: Argentina -1.25 @1.88 ★★★★ | O/U Pick: Over 2.5 @1.70 ★★★★
Messi 19 WC goals (all-time record), playing in his home city. Egypt's fairy tale ends here.
