2026 FIFA World Cup Stats - xG, Corners, and Over 2.5 Goals

The World Cup in the Americas is finally here, and FootyStats has you covered. Here you'll find extensive stats on all teams, players and past World Cups.

National Team Stats - xG, Corners, Goals

Who's coming into this tournament in the best form? England, and their 90% Clean Sheet record? Or maybe it's Croatia, who has lost just 1 games in the last 10 games. Watch out for Argentina too, who surprisingly have 1 defeat in their last 10, scoring 20 goals.

Upcoming Fixtures

Knock-Out Stages

After all group stage matches have been completed. Round of 16 begins and the fixtures will move to Knock-out stages.

Over & Under Stats

Goals, goals and more goals. That's what we want to see in 2026. What are the chances of that happening? Well, that's why we have created this Over/Under table, to show you just how much specific teams have been scoring on the way to the World Cup. Belgium and Portugal are three sides that stick out from the data. Belgium and France can score a lot of goals on their day too, but have played some lesser opponents during their road to WC. Who do you think will be the top-scoring side at this World Cup?

Half-Time Goals in The World Cup

Will your team fly out of the traps, like England and Germany, or will they be more contained and cautious, like France or Croatia. Netherlands and Argentina are two sides who's games have a high percentage of goals in the first half as well. Will they take that approach into the World Cup?

Corner Stats for The World Cup Corner Stats

Corners are a great market for betting and that does not change in the World Cup. Here you can see the total corners for each team, or filter to show the corners for and against. The trend is the teams that hold on to the ball, dominate possession, will have more corners. Currently leading the way are Switzerland, Canada and Serbia.

Card Stats Card Stats

In tournament football, you need discipline. Unfortunately, some teams and players do not have this and many cards are shown in these high-pressure matches. Interestingly, the South American teams recieve more cards than other nations.

Scoring At The World Cup: A Brief History

Playing for your nation is one thing, plyaing at a World Cup for your nation is another thing, but scoring at a World Cup. That has to be one of the greatest feelings for any footballer. Andrés Iniesta could not contain himself when he scored for Spain in the final minutes of extra time back in 2010, nor could Mario Gotze four-years later against Argentina. Those moments are magic, and I'm sure we'll see plenty more in 2026.

This is the biggest stage in world football, and the perfect place for a player to make a name for himself, or remind everyone that he's not finished yet. Cristiano Ronaldo is now 37 while Messi is 34. It might be the last World-Cup for both of them.

Top Assists - Last 15

Who Will Be The Creative Genius?

Having Depay, Kane or Mbappe in your side is great, but they won't score many without the right service. You need a play-maker, a creative force in midfield that makes the whole side tick. Belgium has De Bruyne, France has Pogba, England has Sterling and Foden. Brazil have Netmar, and many others. These technical wizards see passes that nobody else on the pitch, or in the stands, can see.

Interestingly, you can see that Leon Goretzka is becoming a huge part of the German nationl side, with eight assists in the last fifteen games. What's more is that he's mostly a defender, and to have that many assists in a side containing Sane, Kimmich, Gnabry and Co. is superb. He's certainly one to look out for this tournament.

Who's The Best Goalkeeper in The World And Can The Have A Say on 2026?

The men between the sticks. Often overlooked, but vitaly important. As Courtois and Alisson has shown time and time again, a great goalkeeper can keep you in games and at times win you points. The best keepers are remembered for those big saves that they make time and time again, but no more so than in the World Cup. Many still discuss that Gordan Banks save against Pele in 1970. However, it's not just the remarkable saves that stay with you. The World Cup can be a toxic place for a goalkeepr, and not a place you want to be making mistakes. Many do, and the fallout after is often brutal.
