With the 2022 FIFA World Cup fast approaching, the excitement levels surrounding the upcoming competition will be as high as ever among fans and players who are set to represent their countries in the prestigious event.
Of course, the wait has been a little longer than usual this year as we would have already entered the final stages of the competition if it were to have been held in its traditional summer spot, however this year’s spectacle is a little different.
With games to be played in the winter of this year, it could be argued that the 2022 FIFA World Cup could be a better spectacle as many of the world’s footballers representing their nations will have already had a number of competitive matches under their belts for their respective clubs, especially for those who play in Europe.
Nonetheless, many of us as football fans are extremely excited just for the matches in Qatar to get underway, with many of us already thinking about who we might want to place a bet on in regard to the overall champions once the tournament gets underway.
Thankfully, we can already use a sportsbook like the Betway Sportsbook to look at who could be the potential winner, with it seeming as though Brazil are the favourites to win the biggest prize in football.
Indeed, Selecao have been priced at odds of 5/1 and have been made the outright favourites to win. If they do this, it would be the first time since their success in South Korea and Japan back in 2002.
Following Brazil in the list of favourites to win are European giants France (13/2) and England (7/1). Les Bleus are the defending FIFA World Cup champions after winning the competition four years ago in Russia after defeating Croatia in the final, whereas England are Euro 2020 runners-up after suffering defeat to Italy in a penalty shoot-out; the Azzurri will not be competing at this year’s event after being shocked by North Macedonia in the playoffs.
Argentina are the fourth favourites to win this year’s competition at a price of 15/2, whereas Spain have been provided with odds of 8/1 to round off the top five teams thought to have the best chance of winning.
As we know, the FIFA World Cup, though, is not typically won on paper, and a lot can happen as early as the Group Stage of the competition, which is why, as fans of the beautiful game, we can not wait to see what happens in November when the tournament finally starts!
