The expanded 48-team format with 104 matches in the 2026 World Cup drives strong trader consensus toward the Over 264.5, as even conservative scoring rates from recent editions project totals near or above 270. The 2022 tournament averaged 2.69 goals per game across 64 matches for a record 172 goals, and similar per-match output would push this edition well past the line despite the defensive tendencies sometimes seen in earlier cycles. With more group-stage and knockout fixtures creating additional scoring opportunities, recent form trends and the larger field size reinforce expectations of elevated totals without any confirmed roster or scheduling factors suggesting a sharp downturn.
