Who are the World Cup 2026 Group H Favourites?

They are known for their dominant possession and quality players, such as Rodri from Manchester City and Lamine Yamal from Barcelona. They have only won the World Cup once, however, and coming up against some tough opponents in Group H may make winning the group a challenge.
