OPTA's supercomputer has released its results regarding the main favorite to win the FIFA 2026 World Cup, which will be held in three countries: the USA, Canada and Mexico. After 10 simulations, according to OPTA, the main favorite is Spain, with the "Red Fury" having a 16,12% chance of winning. Spain comes into this World Cup as the reigning European champions.
Contrary to expectations, for OPTA, the favorite is not France, a team full of stars, especially in the offensive phase, where coach Deschamps has Mbappe, Dembele, Michael Olise, Rayan Cherki, Doue, Thuram, etc. at his disposal. For OPTA, the "roosters" are ranked second with a 12,98% chance of winning the World Cup.
On the podium of favorite teams, England ranks third. The "Three Lions" led by Thomas Tuchel have an 11,18% chance of winning the "FIFA2026" World Cup.
Argentina, the reigning World Cup champions, are ranked 4th with a 10,36% chance of defending the title.
After Argentina, representatives such as Portugal, Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium are ranked. The surprise in this OPTA prediction is precisely Norway, with Haaland's team included in this "Top-10" with a 3,51% chance. Among the representatives that could make the surprise is Morocco. Representatives such as Curaçao, Haiti and Cape Verde have no chance, according to OPTA.
