- Spain and France are consistently among the favorites, with Spain often priced around the mid-5 to 6:1 range and France near 4.5 to 6:1 depending on the book. These reflect roughly an 16–20% implied probability for Spain and about 15–18% for France across major bookmakers.[1][3]
- England, Brazil, and Argentina typically sit just behind the top two, often in the 6:1 to 9:1 range, corresponding to roughly 11–18% implied probability depending on the market.[3][1]
- The United States and Mexico appear as middle-to-long-shot contenders, commonly around 25:1 to 60:1 in several outlets, translating to about 1.6–4% implied probability.[1][3]
- Other reputable sources provide a wide spectrum of odds, with several “dark horse” teams occupying 10:1 to 100:1 ranges, reflecting varying bookmaker confidence and market movement as teams qualify and groups finalize.[2][3]
