Belgium enters the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the clear frontrunner in Group G due to its higher FIFA ranking, deeper squad experience from prior major tournaments, and stronger recent form compared to the other sides. Traders price Belgium at 69.5% to top the group, reflecting its status as the only European heavyweight facing African, Asian, and Oceanian qualifiers. Egypt and Iran sit close behind at 16.5% and 12.3%, with both expected to battle for second place based on their respective FIFA rankings near 21-29 and head-to-head potential in the group stage. New Zealand trails at 3.5% as the lowest-ranked team, facing significant barriers in a competitive field where the top two advance. Matches begin June 15, with no major confirmed injuries or roster changes altering the pre-tournament outlook.
