Here’s what to know about this oddsboard:
The Favorite: France beat Sweden 3-0 in the Round of 32, topped Paraguay 1-0 in the Round of 16, and then defeated Morocco 2-0 in the quarterfinals. France is outscoring opponents 16-2 so far this tournament, and all three of its superstars — Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise — have already made their marks. France (Mbappé with eight, Dembélé with five) is the first team since 2002 Brazil to have two players score five goals in a single World Cup.
Spain vs. France Showdown: Ever since 2026 FIFA World Cup odds were released back in 2022, only two teams have been the favorite: Spain and France. Now, it’s the matchup we’ve all been waiting for under the bright lights in Dallas, with a trip to the World Cup final on the line. The two historic nations last met in the European Championship, with Spain winning 2-1. Because the top two teams on the oddsboard have to play each other in the semifinals, the winner of this massive showdown will be the overwhelming favorite in the World Cup final.
