Pick rationale

Analysis & key factors

The wait is almost over, as the biggest sporting competition on the planet is just days from getting underway. The hopes of nations will hinge on the opening two weeks of the tournament, with teams hoping to secure the results needed to advance to the knockout round.

However, in mid-July, only one nation will be celebrating as the world champions are crowned.

A range of betting markets are available for the World Cup in 2026, and our dedicated experts will have you covered for all 104 games. If you’re looking to get involved in the pre-tournament betting markets, we also have picks. You can find all our FIFA World Cup picks for the tournament right here.

World Cup 2026 Winner Picks

In truth, the winner of the World Cup will likely be toward the top of the betting. Each of the last ten victors have been found in the top six in the market. Our expert picks for the World Cup winner 2026 can be found here.

However, there is a consensus that Portugal could be the value play to win their first edition of the competition. The European nation are stacked with talent across the field, and have proven winners in major competitions with PSG superstars Joao Neves, Vitinha, and Nuno Mendes.

At +1000, Portugal is the main win selection for two of our three experts.

World Cup Group Stage Bets

Our dedicated team will cover every match during the World Cup group stage, ensuring that you have all the information you need and offering insight to make value picks. However, we have also gone through each respective group, indicating the teams that we believe will progress and those that could disappoint. Links to all Group Stage pages can be found below:

Can The USA Win The World Cup?

Most of the pressure this summer will be on the three hosts, as the USA, Mexico, and Canada will play all of their fixtures in their home stadiums.

Mauricio Pochettino’s U.S. team have been steadily building momentum, and confidence levels will be high ahead of the group stage after being drawn in a favorable group alongside Turkey, Australia, and Paraguay.

We have made picks for how far we believe the USA will go this summer, but unfortunately, we don’t foresee it ending with winning a first World Cup.

Stars To Watch At The World Cup

Some of the most talented stars that soccer has ever seen will be lighting up the field across North America this summer, with each aiming to lead their country to a historic success.

World-leading players such as Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, and Lamine Yamal will represent some of the top nations in the betting to win the World Cup. They all feature heavily among the favorites to win individual prizes this summer. You can find our player-specific bets for the FIFA World Cup below:
