World Cup Final Odds and Knockout Betting
The final two teams have now been confirmed, with two major semi-final fixtures bringing real drama ahead of the 2026 World Cup final - which Spain and Argentina will compete in.
France lost to Spain on 14 July, bringing together two teams with plenty of quality. Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembélé have been incredible this summer, but Spain's defensive shape proved unbreakable.
England fell to a late defeat against Argentina on 15 July, with two assists from Lionel Messi leading an experienced Argentina side into a second successive World Cup final.

The remaining teams in the World Cup 2026 betting markets are Spain and Argentina. Each side brings different strengths, from Spain’s defensive quality to Argentina’s major tournament experience.
Individual performances could still make the difference. Lamine Yamal remains one of Spain’s main players to watch.
Olise currently leads the tournament’s assist standings with five assists from six appearances. Read the latest Ladbrokes daily World Cup tip on Michael Olise finishing with the most assists for a closer look at his performances and the latest market.
His creativity could also support his case in the Golden Ball conversation, although several leading players from the top nations may still influence the race for the tournament’s best-player award. Messi, Kane, Bellingham, and Yamal are among the players whose performances during the semi-finals and final could shape the outcome.
The Golden Boot race also remains open. Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi lead the way with eight goals each, while Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane remain in contention with six.
