YES at 63% estimate. The draw gives all three hosts favorable opening matchups:
Mexico vs South Africa at Estadio Azteca — Mexico is a significantly stronger side and dominant at altitude. ~70% win.
USA vs Paraguay at SoFi Stadium — US has home advantage and stronger squad depth. ~60% win.
Canada vs Bosnia at BMO Field — Closer, but Canada's recent development (Davies, David) plus home crowd gives edge. ~45% win.
P(at least 2 of 3 win) ≈ 63%. Key risk: World Cup openers tend to be cagey/tactical, and draws are more common than in qualifying. But the home advantage across all three is real and the opponent quality is manageable.
