World Cup 2026 Group E Odds

This is a very interesting group, as it comprises nations with huge World Cup pedigree, as well as newcomers to the competition.

Germany has been to the World Cup finals a total of 21 times, lifting the trophy on four occasions (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014). At the opposite end of the spectrum is Curaçao, which is making its first appearance at the tournament. There are 73 places between them in the FIFA ranking, and they are now set to compete on the biggest footballing stage on the planet.

Making up the rest of the two teams are the Ivory Coast, who qualified as the CAF Group F winners, and Ecuador, who qualified as the CONMEBOL round-robin runner-up. They have a similar number of World Cup finals appearances, at four and five respectively, and the match between them may be fairly competitive.

Alongside betting on qualification, you can also bet on each match. The first game of Group E will take place on the 14th of June, between Germany and Curaçao. The last two games of Group E will be on the 25th of June. Other markets include predicting the final result and which players will score.

Remember that you can also adjust your bets in real time using Paddy Power's live betting options.

Who are the World Cup 2026 Group E Favourites?

In terms of the favourites to win World Cup 2026 Group E, Germany undoubtedly has the best odds. They have years of World Cup experience under their belt, and have a squad of talent across the pitch.

However, they have also struggled in recent years, famously missing out on qualifications from the group stage in the 2018 World Cup by finishing bottom of their group.

With Ecuador and the Ivory Coast also having a strong squad, Group F may make for highly competitive viewing. Curaçao, as the underdogs, may even cause an upset at the tournament.
