The expanded 48-team format of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, featuring 12 groups of four teams each playing three group stage fixtures, drives trader consensus to 98.4% Yes for at least one winless squad, reflecting the inclusion of lower-ranked nations via confederation slots and intercontinental playoffs from OFC, AFC, and others. Historical precedent reinforces this: every modern tournament has produced winless teams, with six in 2022 (Qatar, Saudi Arabia among them) despite a smaller 32-team field. Recent qualifiers concluded in March 2026 without upsets altering the strength disparity, as groups drawn in December 2025 pair elites like Brazil and France against minnows. Realistic shifts would require unprecedented parity—universal upsets or stalemates yielding at least one win per team—bucking decades of data on advancement (top two plus eight best third-placers).
