World Cup 2026 Group D might be the tightest at the top of any in the tournament. The United States open as betting favourites, but barely. With Turkey, Australia and Paraguay in the group, all four sides are ranked between 16 and 40 in the world. If you\u2019re into sports betting<\/a>, this is one of the premier groups to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their matches will be played on the west coast of the U.S. and in Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Cup 2026 Group D odds and bets available at ToonieBet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The United States, as one of the co-hosts with home advantage, start as the favourites to win Group D at odds of +120. However, as mentioned above, this is a competitive group, so it’s no surprise to see the odds to win Group D reflect that. Turkey is +170, Paraguay is +360, and Australia +550.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While no Group D team is necessarily expected to win the World Cup, their odds to do so are as follows: USA +6600, Turkey +10000, Paraguay +15000 and Australia +50000. Their chances look slim, but stranger things have happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIFA World Cup 2026 Group D Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Group D is a group where all two, and possibly three, qualification places are up for grabs. There’s no standout team, so the USA, Turkey, Paraguay and Australia will not only look forward to making the Round of 32, but they will all have hopes of topping the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United States<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FIFA Ranking<\/strong>: 16 | Manager<\/strong>: Mauricio Pochettino | Qualified<\/strong>: Co-hosts (Automatic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States will compete with home-field advantage and a squad built around stars Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams. The U.S. has also found some firepower at the front in strikers Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi. Their odds to progress are -550.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FIFA Ranking<\/strong>: 22 | Manager<\/strong>: Vincenzo Montella | Qualified<\/strong>: UEFA Path C winners<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been more than two decades since we last saw Turkey at a World Cup (a third-place finish in 2002), but they\u2019re back and ready to compete. They will be led by Italian manager Vincenzo Montella, who can call on some of the brightest young talents in world soccer. Attacking midfielders Arda Guler, 21, and Can Uzan, 20, have the creativity to unlock defences on demand. And winger Kenan Yildiz, 21, looks the real deal. They\u2019re -450 to progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paraguay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FIFA Ranking<\/strong>: 40 | Manager<\/strong>: Gustavo Alfaro | Qualified<\/strong>: CONMEBOL round robin, sixth place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paraguay is back at a World Cup for the first time in 16 years, and if it wasn’t for manager Gustavo Alfaro, they may have missed out once again. He was the inspiration behind vital qualification wins and now will turn to players like Diego Gomez and Julio Enciso in the tournament. They’re priced at -200 to advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FIFA Ranking<\/strong>: 27 | Manager<\/strong>: Tony Popovic | Qualified<\/strong>: AFC third round Group C, runners-up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Socceroos head to North America to compete in their seventh World Cup. Tony Popovic helped to guide the team in qualification after being appointed in 2024. Goalkeeper Mathew Ryan, who will captain the squad, is the leader. Their star players are arguably at the back in Alessandro Circati, a central defender, and left-back Jordan Bos. They\u2019re sitting at +100 to advance from the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
