FIFA Football World Cup 2026

I will take both Over and BTS in this meeting. Both teams have a strong offense, as we saw in the first round, especially from the Swedes who scored 5 goals against Tunisia. The team overall has one of the strongest striker duos with Isak and Gyokeres, who looked in great form in the first round and seemed to have started playing to their full potential under Potter. We don't need to talk much about the Dutch, we all know that this team is known for their good attacking game year after year, and this team is not any different. The 2-2 draw against Japan in the first round, with 2 goals conceded, shows that there are weaknesses on the other side and they can also let in goals while defending against the Swedes. I think it will be an open game, as both teams have the potential to make it one of the most exciting matches of the tournament.

I will take both over and BTS at this meeting. Both teams have a strong offense - we saw that in the first round, especially with the Swedes who scored 5 goals against Tunisia. The team overall has one of the strongest striking duos with Isak and Gyokeres up front, who were in great form in the first round and looked like they were playing under Potter's leadership. I don't think there's a need to talk too much about the Dutch team, we all know that they have a strong offensive game year after year and this team is no different. The 2-2 tie against Japan in the first round and the 2 goals conceded show that there are also vulnerabilities on the other side and in a match against the Swedes, they could possibly concede again. I think it will be an open game, as both teams have the potential to be one of the most exciting matches in the tournament.

Although Cote d'Ivoire has a strong defensive team, the German offensive axis is on a different level. Next up is Ecuador, which I believe will not be any easier than today, so it is necessary to take 3 points, there will be no rest. I have some doubts about how effective Elephant Ivory will be in scoring goals, as their whole game will revolve around defense. They may be able to score by breaking through the not so perfect German defense, but if the Germans control the game strongly with their talent, they should be able to break through.

I have some doubts about how capable Ivory Coast will be in scoring goals today, as their game will be mostly focused on defense. They may be able to score one by breaking through the not-so-perfect German defense, but if the Germans control the game strongly with their talent, they should be able to break through.

The Germans are meeting with DKK today and I believe we can expect goals from both sides. I won't say anything new about the Germans, their national team has always been and remains attacking and they do it very well. They have one of the strongest attacks, scoring 7 goals in one match. Of course, their opponent was one of the weaker ones, but still 7 goals is a lot. However, conceding goals against Curacao showed that their defense is not particularly stable. They leave gaps and amateurs can score against them. DKK, on the other hand, left a good impression, winning 1-0 against Ecuador. Their national team is known for its elite defense, having only conceded 5 goals in the South American cycle. DKK also had good scoring opportunities, so I believe if they play similarly here, they will at least score against the Germans.

I simply believe that Curacao is the worst team in this championship. Ecuador, after a tough match against Cote d'Ivoire, will give all their strength to recover and score as many over goals as possible. I am expecting a crushing victory and 2.5 goals seems like an easily achievable number.

The coach of Tunisia has changed, but this national team will not change within a couple of days. Of course, motivation is a strong aspect, but the solid Japanese team will handle that well. After drawing with the Dutch, the Japanese really need to score points, especially since Sweden already has 3 points in their fourth game. The strength and solidity of the Japanese team is evident in their results. Tunisia is the complete outsider in this group and after their performance against Sweden, it is difficult to see them having an advantage over Japan.

I have very strong faith in the Japanese national team's handicap. This team is very good and Tunisia's tragic last 3 games do not inspire confidence in them. Prior to a solid draw against the Dutch, the Japanese team had a 3-game winning streak. As this team is not known for crushing their opponents, I don't take big negative handicaps, but it is clear that whoever wins and controls the game from the start will have the upper hand.

I have a strong belief in Japan's national team handicaps. This team is very good and Tunisia's tragic last 3 matches do not inspire confidence in them. Before their solid draw against the Netherlands, Japan had a 3 game win streak, and since this team is not known for overwhelmingly defeating their opponents, I am not taking any significant negative points, but it is clear that whoever wins and controls the game from the start of the match will have the advantage.

Tunisia looked tragically against Sweden in the first match. A 1-5 defeat. They made many mistakes in the defense, struggled to stop fast attacks (the Japanese's main weapon), and had a lot of problems against Sweden's technical players (the Japanese have them too).
If Sweden managed to score 5, then Japan with their fast combination football can create many chances and score as well.
Japan managed to tie 2-2 with the Netherlands. In that match, they showed a high level, displayed intense playing and discipline. This is their strong point.
Japan's strengths: fast wings, high pressing, quick ball movement, and endurance. This is particularly disadvantageous for Tunisia, who perform better against slower and more physical opponents.
Overall, Japan should win comfortably against their weaker opponents. They often score 2-4 goals against potential weaker teams. The odds here are quite favorable.

Quickly and clearly, the Spaniards experienced a true fiasco in the first group match against Kysuli, but there's no use in sitting in a corner and crying. We need to fix the situation and this is a great opportunity. Before the match with Kysuli, it was written that Yamal was 100% healthy, but the Spaniards believed that they wouldn't need him. They were wrong, but now it's clear that he will play against the Arabs from the beginning. The Spaniards are a different beast with him and without him, his presence is invaluable!

Shortly and clearly, the Spanish experienced a true failure in the first group match against Kysuli, but there is no point in sitting in a corner and crying - it's time to fix the situation and it's a great opportunity. Before the match with Kysuli, it was written that Yamal was 100% healthy, but the Spanish themselves believed that they wouldn't need him - they were wrong. Now it's clear that he will play against the Arabs from the beginning, the Spanish are a different beast with him, his impact is valuable!

After the match against Spain, it can be confidently stated that the Green Hornet team played very poorly on offense and their defense needs to finally be broken through. The Spanish team had many opportunities and chances, but failed to take advantage of them, while Uruguay must win these matches after some unexpected draws. Since the African team has a weak offense and Uruguay shows excellent defense, I do not expect a goal from the African team and it should be clear for everyone that Uruguay is in a good position in the group.

The New Zealand team managed to score points in this group, but they face a much tougher challenge against Egypt after an easy game against a weak Iranian team. To put it mildly, I don't believe New Zealand will be able to handle this challenge. Egypt had a very good game against Belgium, against whom they played as equals, so they should only expect Peru to present a challenge. New Zealand looked very poor leading up to the game against Iran and their team lacks stability, so Egypt should take advantage of this, especially in the fight for 1st place in the group.

Austrians excel at playing successfully and scoring goals, while Argentina's iron defense must finally crumble. In the last 4 matches in a row and even 7 out of the last 8, Argentina has not let in a goal, but realistically all their opponents, except Algeria, have been very weak. Algeria only managed to score a goal from a distance and with some luck against the champion's goal. There's no need to even discuss Argentina's chances of scoring, with Messi in excellent form scoring 3 goals and other team players performing at the highest level.

3 matches lost with 3 goals against against Norway, and now another super team France, which also needs to crush Iraq. With their ability to score goals and superior attackers in the offense, France should handle this confidently. They have a strong lineup, and goals are crucial in the World Cup, especially for players like Mbappe, so we can expect a big difference in the score.

In 2026, the World Cup – B group winner is Switzerland. After a tied game with the Qatar team, the Swiss team's actions significantly dropped due to the group winner's name. It must be admitted that Switzerland seemed quite relaxed, but the team is a very prominent favorite in the group. With a 3.2 xG created, Switzerland simply did not take advantage of opportunities, but since the other group teams also played tied games, I believe the chances of winning the group remain the same. Both Bosnia and Canada are far behind the Swiss in mastery, and knowing that opportunities must be seized, Switzerland appears as the clear favorite in the group, and I hope they will prove it.

Placing right after a tragic performance at the opening of the championship from the South African team. The 2 received red cards were straight, so the football players will not be able to play in the 3 group matches. South Korea is fighting for advancement to the next stage and must win confidently against the very weak national team of this country.

2026 World Cup - Czech Republic will qualify from Group A. Despite losing to the Korean team in their first match, the game was quite good and the Czechs were even leading with a score of 1-0, only to end in a 1-1 draw. I predict that the Czechs will defeat Peru, a weak team, and tie against Mexico in the crucial match. Both the Czech Republic and Mexico play very pragmatically and a draw would benefit both teams.

Prediction that Gyokeres will be the most successful player in the Premier League of the World Cup.

Gyokeres' competitors for this prediction:
Haaland with odds of 4.50, but Norway in a group with France - who have a strong defense and will be 100% ready to stop him, Senegal - who, like all African teams, are hard to beat and play with their hearts in all matches, and Iraq - whose results show that they are not a reliable team.
Havertz with odds of 7, I do not consider him an elite striker, he knows how to score goals but often misses easy chances.
Thiago with odds of 9 - a Brentford striker, chosen for the first time to play in the World Cup, with Brazil having many strikers (Vini, Raphina, etc.), it remains to be seen how much he will play.
Saka with odds of 11 - his form has dropped significantly this season, injuries have contributed to that, and he seems to have lost the pace he had two seasons ago.
Bruno Fernandes with odds of 13 - in good form, but his weakness is playing for Portugal, as with Ronaldo's goals he often does not make the most of his opportunities.
Gakpo with odds of 13 - may not be a bad option, in the same group as Gyokeres, but his form has also dropped significantly this season.
Wirtz with odds of 13 - another Liverpool player whose form has been tragic this season, he will be better for Germany, but it remains to be seen by how much.
And my choice, Gyokeres with odds of 21 - there is a lot of value here, with Arsenal his form has been strong this season, especially since March, he finished the season with 20+ goals, Swedish fans adore him, calling him Zlatan's successor, and he earns well by betting as he wears the Swedish shirt, he becomes one of the best strikers, his stats for the national team are superb, he is a sharpshooter! And in my opinion his group, as I have already mentioned, is the most open, with the Netherlands, Sweden, Japan and Tunisia, the first three have very good chances to advance from the group stage, and I think at least one of these teams will go further as one of the top three teams, which will also add to his chances.

America could lose even with a score of 50-0, they will still remain in first place while the Turks in 4th place, because FIFA looks first at teams' head-to-head records, but the essence of the game is different for both teams. America can prepare for the next stage, it wouldn't be surprising if they put in their entire starting 11, it is highly probable that it will be the case because risking injuries doesn't make sense. From the Turkish perspective, this championship is a true failure, all players are still apologizing to their nation for their performance, and it is hard to understand how they will not score a single goal... in 2 games, only 62 shots have been taken on goal... I believe that by the start of these matches, the odds for the Turks will be shattered.

In the group, Belgium will gather less than 6.5 points.
