Based on the current "World Cup Champion" composite event, there are a total of 11 countries that have never won previously and have a winning probability of over 1%, with Portugal leading at around 9.85%. Looking at historical performance, the Netherlands has reached the World Cup final three times but has never won, while Portugal, Belgium, Turkey, and the USA have all secured third place. Furthermore, in 2022, Morocco became the first African team to reach the World Cup semi-finals.

Analysis indicates that with the expansion of the World Cup to 48 teams in 2026, the tournament schedule and knockout path may introduce more randomness. Teams such as Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Morocco, Japan, and Colombia are considered strong contenders for a deep run in the knockout stages.

Note: Based on the trader's historical transaction profile, it is believed that the trader is not betting on the actual outcome of the event, but may engage in profit-taking or stop-loss behavior at a certain point after opening a position.
