World Cup Betting Stats and Data

Our World Cup betting analysis draws on data from recent editions of the tournament to highlight consistent patterns and team performance metrics. The competition has averaged around 2.6 goals per match across its last five editions, with BTTS outcomes in roughly 48% of fixtures and clean sheets recorded in about 40%. While the group stage often produces higher-scoring matches due to open play and mismatched teams, World Cup finals tend to be tighter, averaging fewer than 2.5 goals per game as tactical caution and defensive discipline dominate. These insights, combined with current team form, player fitness, and pre-tournament momentum, form the basis of our data-driven soccer betting tips and forecasts.
