England World Cup 2026 Odds To Win The World Cup & Bet Builder Scout Report

How far can England progress at the 2026 World Cup?

Thirty years of hurt has turned into 60 for England fans but there is little doubt that the Three Lions have the ability to become world champions for only the second time this summer.

Thomas Tuchel has the tactical nous many pundits believed Gareth Southgate lacked, for all that the now-knighted former boss took England to two Euros finals and the last four of the 2018 World Cup, and England have a relatively kind group and path through the knockout rounds. Anything less than a semi-final appearance will be deemed a failure, although that might hinge on a last-eight date with Brazil.

Our prediction: To reach the quarter-finals - 4/5

Fouls Committed

Jude Bellingham looks set to get the nod in the number ten role for England but it's not just in attack where he is effective. The Real Madrid star relishes a physical battle and committed 1.54 fouls per 90 for Real in La Liga this season

Assists

Bukayo Saka was integral to Arsenal's Premier League triumph and he will be pivotal to how England fare this summer. The livewire winger registered five assists in the top flight but created 61 chances for his Gunners team-mates, 12 of which were deemed big chances

Shots

England's record goalscorer Harry Kane arrives at the World Cup following his best ever club season, having scored 61 goals in 51 games for Bayern Munich. Kane had 119 shots in the Bundesliga this season at a rate of one every 20 minutes

Shots On Target

Nico O'Reilly is an archetypal Pep Guardiola full-back, in that he is comfortable on the ball and wants to get forward. O'Reilly scored some big goals for Manchester City this season and 15 of his 41 Premier League shots found the target

Player Carded

Elliot Anderson has become a fixture of England's team under Thomas Tuchel and the midfielder is the all-round package. Comfortable on the ball but tenacious without it, Anderson was booked eight times for Nottingham Forest in the league this season
