England 7/4 to win all eight 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches

Set to commence a new era with Thomas Tuchel at the helm, England are priced at 7/4 to win all eight of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches.

bet365's Sports and Trading expert Steve Freeth said: "You can count on one hand the amount of times England have tasted World Cup Qualifying defeat this century. 

"Kevin Keegan resigning when Germany won at Wembley in 2000, David Healy's winner for Northern Ireland in 2007 and Fabio Capello's side being beaten having already qualified with Robert Green seeing red after 12 minutes against Ukraine. 

"At 1/6 to win Group K, 1/2 to go unbeaten and 7/4 for a 100% record, it's highly likely that opening statement remains true once Group K is complete."

England's qualification record under Gareth Southgate was exemplary.

The former Three Lions boss oversaw 28 wins from 35 World Cup and European Championship qualifying matches and the only blemish on his impressive record was a defeat to the Czech Republic in Prague in October 2019.

Defeat in a qualifying fixture is a rarity for England and incoming head coach Tuchel will be eager to maintain that trend as he gets to grips with his first international managerial role.

His toughest assignment in Group K will be a trip to Belgrade to face Serbia, a nation the Three Lions managed to overcome at Euro 2024 courtesy of a first half goal from Jude Bellingham.

England reacquaint themselves with Albania, whom they defeated 5-0 in their previous encounter in November 2021, and perennial strugglers Andorra, with England winning all six of their matches against the Catalan-speaking principality by an aggregate score of 25-0.

There will be a first-ever encounter with Latvia, who were relegated in the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League after finishing fourth in League C4 in behind North Macedonia, Armenia and Faroe Islands.

Quizzed about his confidence of England finishing top of the group, Tuchel told the BBC: “I don’t see it as a given. The gap closes more and more between the big nations and the small nations. So we have to earn our place and we have to earn our top spot.”
