Why it made the board
CompleteAway -2.25 is thin but the cleanest eligible World Cup selection. Côte d'Ivoire have the stronger structural routes to a 3-goal margin: central ball-winning/control through Kessié and Sangaré, natural wide service from Amad and Operi/Doué, two starting forwards, and multiple attacking substitutes to extend pressure if Curaçao chase. Curaçao’s underdog +2.25 cover path is not just a low block; it requires reliable counters and emotional control after the first goal, and the supplied 5-4-1 with limited forward presence makes that late-game cover less dependable. The market is efficient, so this is a medium-confidence pick based on margin-building paths and Matchday 3 game-state fragility rather than a dominant price edge.
Main risk
Regression: Large handicap risk: -2.25 needs a 3+ goal win for full payout and loses on a routine 1-0/2-0 Côte d'Ivoire control result; a slow first goal or Côte d'Ivoire settling for qualification protection would damage the cover.
