#广场预测世界杯赢40000U In the Round of 32 (1/16 finals) of the 2026 USA-Canada-Mexico World Cup, while strong teams advancing is the mainstream, some matches have a high potential for upsets due to close strength, tactical counterplays, or dark horse potential of weaker teams. Based on team strength, tactical styles, and historical encounters, here is a prediction and overview of the most likely upset matches:
1. Belgium vs Senegal (July 2, 04:00)
Reason for upset: Although Belgium is a traditional powerhouse, there are internal rifts (conflict between De Bruyne and Lukaku), and the defense is aging significantly, making them vulnerable to Senegal (the reigning Africa Cup of Nations champion) on the fast break. Senegal is giving their all for the "last dance" of veterans like Mané, possessing strong dark horse potential. This is the most likely upset match in the first round of the knockout stage. Prediction: Senegal advances (1-0 or 2-1).
2. Netherlands vs Morocco (June 30, 09:00)
Reason for upset: The Netherlands has an overall advantage in strength, but their defense is aging and has injury concerns, while Morocco was a semi-finalist in the last World Cup, with strong team cohesion and tournament mentality, possessing the traits of a "giant killer." If Morocco can withstand the Netherlands' high press and seize counterattack opportunities, they could cause an upset. Prediction: Netherlands advances but with difficulty (1-0 or 2-1, possibly extra time).
3. United States vs Bosnia and Herzegovina (July 2, 08:00)
Reason for upset: Although the United States has home-field advantage, their overall strength ceiling is limited. Bosnia and Herzegovina advanced as the third-place team in their group, but they have the experience of veterans like Džeko and set-piece advantages. The two teams are closely matched. If Bosnia can contain the US attack, they could pull off an upset via extra time or penalties. Prediction: United States advances but the path is bumpy (1-1 or extra time/penalties).
4. Ivory Coast vs Norway (July 1, 01:00)
Reason for upset: Norway has Haaland, but their attacking methods are relatively one-dimensional. If Ivory Coast can limit Haaland's impact through a compact defense and seize counterattack opportunities, they could cause an upset. Prediction: Norway advances but with a close scoreline (1-0 or 2-0).
5. Colombia vs Ghana (July 4, 09:30)
Reason for upset: Colombia has an overall strength advantage, but if Ghana can drag the match into extra time or a penalty shootout through tight defense, relying on Ghana's defensive resilience and penalty luck, they could cause an upset. Prediction: Colombia advances but with difficulty (1-0 or penalties).
