The World Cup quarterfinals are set. Only eight teams remain. France leads the charge as the favorite on Kalshi to win its third World Cup. The rest of the field includes Argentina, Spain, England, Norway, Morocco, Belgium, and Switzerland.

France is a strong favorite as the only team above 20% to win the World Cup. Argentina and Spain follow with roughly 18% chances each.

  • Spain 18.6%

Winners

Argentina

Argentina is the winner of the tournament so far with its highest ranked opponents to this point being #24 Austria in the group stage. It got a lucky draw with #19 Switzerland in the quarterfinals after it defeated #13 Colombia in the Round of 16 as an underdog. Argentina is a heavy favorite to advance and play the winner of England vs Norway.

Argentina vs Switzerland World Cup Quarterfinals

  • Argentina 74%
  • Switzerland 28%

Spain

It’s safe to say that Spain would have been favored either way here against Belgium or the United States. With Belgium being the draw, Spain holds a big advantage. Spain faces a leaky Belgium defense that has conceded five goals in its last three matches. Spain has five clean sheet wins to this point.

Spain vs Belgium World Cup Quarterfinals

  • Spain 74%
  • Belgium 27%

Losers

France

While this is a hot take and could backfire, there are some key stats that favor Morocco in this matchup. France is fairly priced as a 77% favorite, but Morocco could keep it competitive. Morocco holds an edge over France in expected goals (+0.43), expected goals conceded (+0.08), expected goal differential (+0.05), and possession (+3%).

England

England is the biggest loser on the board with arguably the toughest draw against a highly explosive and efficient Norway squad. Norway has the goal advantage 12-11 on far less shots than England. England has taken 80 shots but converted only 14%. Norway, with just 52 shots, has converted at 23%. Norway is also outplaying its expected goal total by a 1.32 margin to England 1.04.
