World Cup 2026 Group L odds place England as heavy favorites to top the group, with Croatia the only realistic challenger at +340 across all three sportsbooks. Ghana and Panama complete the group but face long odds of +1500 and +3500, respectively. World Cup 2026 Group L predictions center on whether Croatia can repeat their 2018 heroics against England and claim an unlikely group win.
England qualified with a perfect eight wins from eight, scoring 22 goals and conceding none. That defensive record is the clearest indicator of why they price so short. Croatia were similarly dominant in UEFA qualifying, going unbeaten across eight matches with seven wins and one draw. The gap between these two sides and Ghana and Panama is reflected directly in the market.
