Goal differential will likely come into play during the 2026 World Cup Group Stage advancement process.
Today, we take a look at the table below to see every team's goal scored and goals allowed projections from the oddsmakers at BetOnline.
These are over/under totals, and you'll notice that there's a half goal assigned to each. Of course, no team can score a half goal, but this is how the odds are always presented so there is a clear winner/loser in terms of grading wagers.
Team USA is projected to score between 7 and 8 goals during the tourney, while they are expected to yield around 5 or 6 goals.
Curacao and Haiti are projected to only score 2 goals throughout the tournament (assuming Group Stage only), while Spain holds the top spot in that category (12.5 goal over/under).
As far as goals surrendered, the aforementioned lowly teams as well as Cape Verde and Jordan, are favored to give up the most.
