Outright World Cup Odds After Group Stage

Here are the updated outright odds to win the World Cup now that the tournament has reached the first knockout round.

World Cup Last 32 Match Odds

The first round of knockout games is the largest ever at a single edition of the World Cup. Here are the 16 matches in the last 32, including match odds and a summary of how each country reached this stage.

Ivory Coast vs Norway

Cote d’Ivoire impressed with their performances in the group stage. They were defeated by Germany after leading 1-0, but won their other two matches to finish second in Group E. Norway did the same in Group I, losing to France after rotating their team, but winning their first two games.

France vs Sweden

Les Bleus proceeded with consummate ease, winning all three group matches and scoring ten goals in the process despite a tougher than average draw. France’s opponents Sweden advanced with four points in third place from Group F, their highlight a 5-1 defeat of Tunisia, though they then lost to Netherlands by the same scoreline.

Mexico vs Ecuador

Hosts Mexico advanced with three wins from three in Group A without conceding a goal. A tougher test awaits though as Ecuador came good at the last minute to beat Germany having stuttered against Cote d’Ivoire and Curacao. Their four points were enough to advance as a third-placed side.

England vs DR Congo

England flattered to deceive in a 0-0 draw against Ghana, but otherwise produced professional performances in wins over Croatia and Panama to top Group L. DR Congo produced a late turnaround to beat Uzbekistan and finish third in Group K, emerging as England’s opponents.

Belgium vs Senegal

Group G was won by Belgium as expected, though they only did so by thrashing fourth-placed New Zealand. Draws against Egypt and Iran in their first two games will give hop to Senegal, though, who lost to tough opposition in France and Norway before a 5-0 hammering of Iraq to pinch a third-placed qualification.

USA vs Bosnia

The United States suffered defeat last time out against Turkey, but impressed in their first two wins to top Group D. The USMNT face a Bosnia side who held fellow hosts Canada in their opening game, then qualified due to a 3-1 win over Qatar despite a 4-1 drubbing by Switzerland.

Spain vs Austria

The positive for Spain in Group H was their defence, as they are still yet to concede at the 20-26 World Cup. Wins against Saudi Arabia and Uruguay ensured they were comfortably top after three matches, with Austria’s dramatic late draw against Algeria setting them up as banana skin last 32 opponents from Group J.

Portugal vs Croatia

Having been held by DR Congo and Colombia, Portugal only finished second in Group K. A 5-0 thumping of Uzbekistan showed what they are capable of, but they face a wily Croatia side that improved as Group L went on. Wins over Panama and Ghana showed the ageing Vatreni can still deliver.

Switzerland vs Algeria

A shock 1-1 draw with Qatar did not prevent Switzerland winning Group B. They beat hosts Canada 2-1 to earn themselves a favourable draw. Algeria’s madcap 3-3 with Austria ensured they progressed and avoided Spain, with four points enough for a third-placed qualification from Group J.

Australia vs Egypt

A 2-0 win over Turkey in their opening match gave Australia a platform for qualification. They lost to the United States, but another clean sheet against Paraguay earned them second place in Group D. Egypt were also runners-up in their pool, a win over New Zealand and draws with Belgium and Iran getting them second in Group G.

Argentina vs Cape Verde

With Lionel Messi continuing to inspire, Argentina won all three matches in Group J, conceding just a single consolation to Jordan. They play the story of the tournament so far, with Cape Verde still unbeaten. Three draws for the island nation in Group H was enough for second place and a reward against the defending champions.

Colombia vs Ghana

Impressive displays in group K enabled Colombia to emerge on top above Portugal. They defeated Uzbekistan and DR Congo en route, with Ghana holding England with a determined defensive display. Despite a late loss to Croatia, they earned enough points to qualify in third in Group L.
