The 2026 World Cup is nearly here and easyBet Predictions have made the betting process even easier with their ‘yes or no’ markets.
With easyBet Predictions you can back your fancies by just betting ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the outcome, simplifying the process and putting you in total control of your bets.
easyBet Predictions have also changed the way odds are shown, with the traditional fractional or decimal odds out, and easy to understand percentages coming in.
We’ve put together our 2026 World Cup group stage tips using the new easyBet Predictions market so read on for our tips for each group.
Group A
Group A sees one of the hosts, Mexico, take to the field to clash with South Korea, Czech Republic and South Africa.
This looks like one of the most open groups in the tournament, with Mexico, South Korea and Czech Republic all able to lay claim to winning the group outright.
We’re backing South Korea to come out on top in Group A, with a really talented core capable of leading them to glory. With a £10 stake, odds of 22% with easyBet Predictions will see a return of £45.45.
Group B
Group B is another group which doesn’t really have an overwhelming favourite and three teams could really lay down a marker to top the group.
Switzerland, Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina all have a decent shout when it comes to winning the group, with Qatar seeing qualification as the goal.
We fancy the Swiss side to do the business though, with their pragmatic approach giving them just enough to be crown group winners. A £10 stake sees you net a return of £17.86.
Group C
Group C has somewhat of a ‘Group of Death’ look about it. Brazil and Morocco are the two sides that catch the eye immediately but Scotland have a really talented squad and could cause some problems.
Haiti are relatively unknown, especially at this level, but their recent results have been impressive and they could be dark horses to qualify from Group C.
Brazil are, understandably, the favourites to win Group C but we think Morocco might have enough to top the group at the Brazilians expense. A £10 bet on Morocco to win Group C would net you a return of £47.62.
Group D
Yet another Group that multiple nations will fancy their chance of winning. The betting between United States and Turkey is really tight, with just 2% between them in the market.
Australia and Paraguay are the other two nations in Group D and, all things considered, it wouldn’t be a huge shock if any of the four team emerged victorious.
We really like the look of Turkey this summer, though. They’ve got fantastic players in key positions and are one of our dark horses to go much further in the competition. A £10 selection on Turkey to win Group D would see a return of £27.78.
Group E
Group E looks to be a bit more clearcut. Germany enter as heavy favourites and, although both Ecuador and Ivory Coast are no slouches, it’s clear too see why.
World Cup debutants, Curacao, round out the group and their chances of coming top look slim. Ecuador had a great qualifying campaign, conceding just five goals in 18 matches, and Ivory Coast are always dangerous.
It’s hard to look past Germany, though. They are one of the most successful nations in World Cup history and, aside from a couple of blips over the years, have been consistent in their success in the group stages. A £10 stake on Germany to win Group E would return £14.93.
Group F
Group F sees Netherlands enter as favourites to top the group but there could be some stiff competition. Both Japan and Sweden have been drawn into Group F and we be looking to make an impact.
Tunisia are the fourth nation that are in Group F and are by no means a bad side. Netherlands should be taking control of the group but the challenge of Japan, in particular, is real.
So much so, in fact, that we’re backing the Asian side to come out on top in Group F. We can see them causing some real issues for the Dutch players and we think they’ll do enough to be victorious. A £10 stake on Japan to win Group F would net you £37.04.
Group G
Group G is another group that has a clear favourite, this time in the form of Belgium. The Red Devils look to be the strongest nation in this group by some way and are, correctly, the bookmakers choice to win the group.
Egypt are probably the next best side in the group but they are going to find it really hard to get the better of their opponents. Iran and New Zealand are the other two nations in the group but it’s very hard to see them finishing top of Group G.
We can’t see past Belgium coming out on top in Group G and we’re confident in picking them to be group winner. Egypt or Iran won’t have enough and New Zealand are going to struggle to qualify. A £10 bet on Belgium to win Group G would see you return £14.93.
Group H
Group H is, perhaps, the group that looks the most one sided. And that’s reflected in the odds, with Spain sitting at 70% with easyBet Predictions.
Uruguay are also in the group but gone are the days of Luis Suarez, Diego Forlan and Edinson Cavani. Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde round out the group but surely won’t be a match for the might of Spain.
With that in mind, we’re backing Spain to win Group H without much trouble. They should dominate and it’s very hard to see any other outcome apart from a Spanish win. A £10 stake on Spain to win Group H would return £12.66.
Group I
Group I might look cut and dry at first glance but another look shows things might be a little more interesting. France are the heavy favourites but both Norway and Senegal would give themselves a chance of winning Group I.
It’s hard to see Iraq as a factor, such is the strength of the other three nations, but it’s not inconceivable that France could drop points against Norway or Senegal.
In fact, that’s exactly what we think will happen. We’re backing Norway to come out top of Group I with their key players, in Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland, excelling against France. A £10 selection on Norway to win Group I would see a return of £40.
Group J
Group J is another group that looks as though it could be over before it begins. Reigning world champions, Argentina, are in Group J and their nearest challengers look to be Austria.
The other two nations in the group are Algeria and Jordan, with neither likely to trouble Argentina. If Austria can claim a result against the group favourites then they stand a chance but Argentina are the clear favourites.
We can’t look past Argentina in Group J, even at such short odds. The world champions should have more than enough to overcome the challenges in Group J and we’re confident in backing them. A £10 bet on Argentina to win Group J would return £13.89.
Group K
Group K sees Portugal enter as favourites but there might be a bit more to things, with Colombia and DR Congo both looking capable of pulling off a shock.
Uzbekistan are the final nation in Group K but are unlikely to push things at the top of the group. If Portugal drop points against any side, though, they could find their place at the top of Group K under threat.
We just can’t see it happening, however! Portugal have such a wealth of talent available to them that if they gel together even slightly then a Group K victory looks assured. A £10 stake on Portugal to win Group K returns £15.87.
Group L
Group L see the Three Lions enter the World Cup fray. They’ve been drawn alongside Croatia and Ghana, in a group that looks a little more tricky than some of their rivals.
Panama are the other nation in the group but aren’t expected to be in the conversation around winning the group. Croatia stand the best chance of displacing England, while Ghana would need a heroic effort to overcome both of those nations.
We’re backing England to win Group L, although it might not be quite as straight-forward as many Three Lions fans would hope. A £10 bet on England to win Group L would return £14.49.
