While the last international break before the 2026 World Cup is over, the 48 qualified teams are known. Attention now turns to June 11, the date of the kick-off given by Mexico and South Africa on North American territory. While waiting for this launch, analyzes and predictions seem to be multiplying. Furthermore, Opta’s supercomputer already knows the winner of the international competition… and it is Spain.

According to him, La Roja remains the main favorite despite losing its first place in the FIFA rankings to France, and its draw against Egypt this week. She is rightly ahead of the Blues in a delicate group, champions in 2018 and finalists in 2022, while England and Argentina complete the top of the ranking after several calculations and data analyses. Other nations like Portugal, Brazil, Germany and the Netherlands remain outsiders. See you in a little less than three months to discover the opening match.
