Belgium enters the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group G as the clear favorite, with trader consensus reflecting the squad’s depth and European pedigree. Kevin De Bruyne, Jérémy Doku, Romelu Lukaku, and Thibaut Courtois anchor an attack and defense that outclass the group on paper, building on an unbeaten qualifying campaign. Egypt sits second in implied probability thanks to Mohamed Salah’s Premier League form and the Marmoush partnership, though consistency remains a question mark ahead of the June 15 opener against Belgium. Iran offers defensive organization and counterattacking threat that could produce upsets, while New Zealand faces the steepest challenge as the lowest-ranked side relying on collective effort and physicality. Recent previews highlight Belgium’s set-piece strength and wide play as decisive edges, with the group’s opening fixtures on June 15 likely to shape early momentum.
