Amid high expectations, guessing the dark horse still remains uncertain. The performances from the first-time World Cup teams, Cape Verde and Cura\u00e7ao, were so far the best highlights. More than that, Germany just recreated the classic 7-1 scorecard against Cura\u00e7ao. The Netherlands, on the other hand, saw a tough game against Japan, drawing 2-2. While the games have just begun, the long road to the World Cup knockout stages makes the Group Stage more exciting. Let\u2019s look at the detailed preview and predictions for the games on 18<sup>th<\/sup> and 20<sup>th<\/sup> June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a id='anchor-id69761470612384899' href='https:\/\/imstore.bet365affiliates.com\/Tracker.aspx?AffiliateId=30805&AffiliateCode=365_813297&CID=194&DID=84&TID=1&PID=149&LNG=1' target='_blank' rel='nofollow noopener'><img id='id69761470612384899' src='' border='0' alt='advertisement' \/><center><span style=\"font-size: 11px; color: gray;\">advertisement<\/span><\/center><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\tfunction func69761470612384726 () {\r\n\t\t\t\tlet myImage = document.querySelector('#id69761470612384899'),\r\n\t\t\t\t\taTag = document.querySelector('#anchor-id69761470612384899');\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\tfunction loadImage(src) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\treturn new Promise((resolve, reject) => {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmyImage.addEventListener('load', () => resolve(myImage));\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmyImage.addEventListener('error', err => reject(err));\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmyImage.src = src;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t});\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\tloadImage('https:\/\/imstore.bet365affiliates.com\/?AffiliateCode=365_813297&CID=194&DID=84&TID=1&PID=149&LNG=1')\r\n\t\t\t\t\t.then(myImage => console.log('s'))\r\n\t\t\t\t\t.catch(err => {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log('err');\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmyImage.src = 'https:\/\/bettingpremier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/728x90.gif';\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\taTag.setAttribute('href', 'http:\/\/www.bet365.com\/home\/?affiliate=365_813297');\r\n\t\t\t\t\t});\r\n\t\t\t\t} func69761470612384726 ();\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fifa-world-cup-2026-recent-highlights\">FIFA World Cup 2026 \u2013 Recent Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-brazil-vs-morocco\">Brazil vs Morocco<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The five-time FIFA World Cup champions, Brazil, drew with Morocco, who is no longer an underdog. Ismael Saibari scored the first goal in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> minute, and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior equalized a few minutes later. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, where neither side scored a decisive goal. Fans even argue that Brazil underestimated Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-germany-vs-curacao\">Germany vs Cura\u00e7ao<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Germany pulled off a miracle against Cura\u00e7ao just like they did in 2014 against Brazil. The first time World Cup players, Cura\u00e7ao, scored a historic goal against Germany in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> minute. After that, Germany kept scoring a goal until the final moments. While they kept scoring, Manuel Neuer never conceded after that one goal. This was the highest-scoring match in the 2026 World Cup so far, and a dramatic match ever. Many argue that this reminded fans of the 2014 Germany vs Brazil draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spain-vs-cape-verde\">Spain vs Cape Verde<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, Cape Verde stopped Spain from scoring and surprised the fans. Spain entered the tournament with a strong midfield presence, but they benched Lamine Yamal, denying him his World Cup debut. Without Yamal\u2019s striking finishing, Spain somewhat struggled to convert chances. Although they never scored, Cape Verde managed to stop Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fifa-world-cup-2026-upcoming-games-and-preview\">FIFA World Cup 2026 \u2013 Upcoming Games and Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-switzerland-vs-bosnia-and-herzegovina\">Switzerland vs Bosnia and Herzegovina<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Date:<\/em><\/strong><em> 18 June 2026 (Thursday)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Time:<\/em><\/strong><em> 03:00 PM ET | 12:30 AM IST (Next Day)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Venue:<\/em><\/strong><em> Los Angeles Stadium<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expected-starting-squad-for-switzerland\">Expected Starting Squad for Switzerland<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Player<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeeper<\/td><td>Gregor Kobel<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defense<\/td><td>Silvan Widmer, Manuel Akanji, Nico Elvedi, Ricardo Rodriguez (Captain)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defensive Midfield<\/td><td>Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attacking Midfield<\/td><td>Dan Ndoye, Michel Aebischer, Ruben Vargas<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attack<\/td><td>Breel Embolo<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expected-starting-squad-for-bosnia-and-herzegovina\">Expected Starting Squad for Bosnia and Herzegovina<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Player<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeeper<\/td><td>Nikola Vasilj<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defense<\/td><td>Amar Dedi\u0107, Dennis Had\u017eikaduni\u0107, Tarik Muharemovi\u0107, veteran Sead Kola\u0161inac<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defensive Midfield<\/td><td>Amir Had\u017eiahmetovi\u0107, Benjamin Tahirovi\u0107.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attacking Midfield<\/td><td>Esmir Bajraktarevi\u0107, Armin Gigovi\u0107, Ermedin Demirovi\u0107<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attack<\/td><td>Edin D\u017eeko<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prediction\">Prediction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Bosnia&#8217;s recent friendly internationals highlight their resilient yet offensively blunt team.
