Who will win the World Cup?

Spain, the winners of Euro 2024, are the early frontrunners for the World Cup with top odds of 9/2 from our selection of betting sites below.

Not far behind are England, who are hoping for a first win since 1966 having put together a good run in major tournaments under Gareth Southgate and investing heavily in Thomas Tuchel to take them that next step on the journey.

France have arguably the strongest squad of players available and will be looking to back up success in 2018, while defending champions Argentina are also in the running.

Brazil sneak into the top five as a result of their World Cup pedigree - but are they as strong as Brazilian sides of the past? We shall see.

World Cup 2026 Group Stage predictions

The group stage is being expanded this year, with 12 groups of four ratehr than the previous format of eight groups, owing to the expansion to 48 teams at this year's World Cup.

Each day of the competition, we will have predictions for the group games taking place, guiding you through those and ultimately, who will come first and second in the groups, and qualify for the knockout round.

When it comes to a longer view, rather than betting on individual games, you can bet on who will win each group, or qualify from it and reach the knockout round.

Throughout the tournament, we have a range of dedicated group pages where we will update the table, betting odds for teams to win or qualify from the group, and the next key games you need to look out for.
