Pick rationale
Analysis & key factors
The start of the 2026 World Cup is nearly here, and the eyes of the world will be on North America for the five-week extravaganza of high-quality soccer action.
The historic nature of the World Cup means that over 1.5 billion people will watch the opening game between Mexico and South Africa, with 3.5 million expected to attend at least one game during the competition.
High-stakes matchups will be set throughout the tournament, meaning that there will be some exciting World Cup tournament specials available to bet on before a ball is kicked. You can find the odds and some of our picks for the markets here.

World Cup Tournament Specials Picks
There are few more exciting sporting events on the global calendar than the World Cup. Every four years, the eyes of the world are set on the pitch, as the best stars represent their nation with the goal of becoming legends.
There are some standout selections when assessing the World Cup Tournament Specials, including an unbeaten champion at odds of -485. In truth, many champions go through the tournament without losing, although Argentina were a rare exception in 2022 after losing to Saudi Arabia in the group stage.
For those that have followed our World Cup picks, you will be aware that we like the chances of a European nation that have never previously won the tournament. Therefore, a first-time winner at odds of +237 offers excellent value.
An unlikely feat this summer will see the World Cup record for the fastest goal scored broken. Hakan Suker’s goal inside eleven seconds of the 2002 World Cup match for third hasn’t come under threat in the last five editions, and that trend is unlikely to end this year.
