World Cup Group F Odds: Netherlands, Japan Picks & Best Bets

World Cup 2026 Group F features the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden and Tunisia competing across four host cities in the United States and Mexico. The Netherlands open as clear favorites at around -116 with leading operators, while Japan are the only realistic challengers at +260. World Cup Group F odds and predictions point toward a Netherlands-Japan top-two finish, with the group-winner market already attracting significant attention ahead of the June 14 opener.

The Netherlands posted a qualifying record of 6 wins and 2 draws from 8 matches, scoring 27 goals and conceding just 4. Their last-five form reads 3W 2D 0L, a solid if not spectacular run that nonetheless keeps them above every rival in this group on objective metrics. Japan enter on the back of five consecutive wins, a run that makes them the most dangerous threat to Dutch supremacy at World Cup 2026 Group F odds of +260.
