As the 2022 World Cup nears, it's time to scrutinize potential champions. I'll be assessing both the favorites to win the trophy and some dark horses with a solid chance of making waves in the competition.
We’ll be sharing World Cup predictions for every match of the event, so be sure to check in once the games start.

Brazil leads as the most successful World Cup team, having claimed the trophy five times, though their last triumph was two decades ago. Since then, they haven't gone past the quarter-finals.
Yet, Brazil's exceptional squad quality makes it unsurprising why bookmakers regard them as the pre-tournament favorites.
Featuring stars like Neymar, Vinicius Junior, and Alisson, Brazil's team is formidable. If they hit their stride, they should advance to the later stages without much hassle.
Grouped with Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon in Group G, Brazil faces a challenging pool. However, I'm confident they’ll emerge on top with full points. This could set them up against the Group H runner-up featuring Portugal, Uruguay, Korea Republic, and Ghana. Progressing further might put them up against Spain or Croatia in the quarters, followed by a potential semi-final matchup vs. Argentina, Denmark, or the Netherlands. Provided the group stages unfold as expected, they may not face the likes of France, England, Germany, or Belgium until the final, should they get there – which could be a game-changer.

France has twice captured the World Cup in their last six tries, and were runners-up in 2006. As the reigning champions having bested Croatia 4-2 in the Russia 2018 final, they'll be a formidable force with players like Benzema, Mbappe, Pogba, Griezmann, Kante, and Dembele available.
Grouped with Denmark, Tunisia, and Australia in Group D, France meets a strong team in Denmark, capable of topping the group. This outcome hinges on their meeting on Saturday, November 26th.
Should France lead their group, they'd face the Group C runner-up with opponents like Argentina, Poland, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia. Poland or Mexico is likely to come in second to Argentina, offering France winnable games.
It could get captivating if they encounter England in the quarter-finals, needing to overcome teams like Belgium, Germany, or Portugal in the semis before possibly reaching the final.
Though Argentina ranks as the bookies' third choice for the World Cup this year, they've struggled in recent editions. Since a 1-0 loss to Germany in the 2014 final, they've not moved past the quarters since 1990.
Eyes are on Lionel Messi as he embarks on his last World Cup, aiming to bring home the title for Argentina for the first time since 1986. Their chances are tangible if Messi performs at his best.
Following their semi-final appearance in Russia 2018 and reaching the Euro 2020 final, expectations soar for England in the 2022 World Cup. However, discipline waned post their penalty shootout loss to Italy, including no wins in six Nations League matches with a poor goal tally.
Pressure mounts on manager Gareth Southgate. Albeit he may have rotated his squad for player trials in Nations League, the lackluster performances ahead of the World Cup are worrying.
I anticipate England improving during the World Cup, smoothly advancing from their group. Wales, USA, and Iran aren’t formidable threats, and should the Netherlands lead Group A, England could meet Ecuador, Senegal, or Qatar.
Winning the round of 16 would place England just three games from their first World Cup since 1966, facing potentially tough quarters against France and thereafter elite teams.
History reveals that outsiders rarely claim the World Cup.
Out of 21 World Cups, only 8 teams have triumphed.
Those are Brazil (5), Germany (4), Italy (4), France (2), Argentina (2), Uruguay (2), Spain (1), and England (1).
Beyond the primary favorites, a few other teams are in the running this year.
Spain boasts enough talent to perform well and Germany should deliver a better display than at Euro 2020.
Many predict Belgium is destined to win a tournament. Ranked #2 by FIFA, with players like Hazard, De Bruyne, and Lukaku, Belgium placed third in Russia 2018. If they sync, they could win this year, presenting a value bet at 14/1 in my eyes.
The Netherlands is my dark horse, potentially shining in this tournament. They’ve improved significantly since June 2021, remaining unbeaten. They're potent upfront and could have an easier path to the quarter-finals.
Securing Group A against Ecuador, Senegal, and Qatar would prepare them for a Round of 16 match against Group B's runner-up. Should England top that group, the Netherlands would likely meet Wales or USA and enter the match as favorites.
I'd back them to overcome Argentina in a potential quarter-final, thus at 14/1 to win, or 13/2 to make the final, they offer enticing odds. They might face a daunting semi-final against Brazil, Spain, or Croatia. Still, if they maintain their form, I’d wager they make it to the final showdown.
This year's competition doesn't showcase a single team that truly shines above the rest. England's odds seem overly optimistic given their recent performances, and I'm hesitant to support Brazil when considering their less than stellar finishes in previous tournaments. France, among the favorites, would be my choice, despite their disappointing Nations League performance with only one victory out of six. Still, I anticipate we'll witness the classic France we know at the World Cup, and with an eye on Netherlands as a dark horse, I'm betting on a France vs. Netherlands final at 33/1 odds offered by BetVictor.

Back in April, England's chances of winning the 2022 World Cup were priced as low as 5/1 before their Nations League matches even began. Yet, lackluster performances, coupled with defensive concerns due to injuries, saw their odds lengthen to 9/1 with SportNation. Now, England shares the same odds as Spain, while Argentina, France, and Brazil are more favored contenders.
We'll delve into England's progress through different tournament phases later, but for now, the focus is on them shaking off 56 years of drought and hoisting the trophy come December 18th in Qatar.
Regardless of whether they win their group, England faces the daunting task of defeating at least two to three top-tier teams to claim the tournament. Can they outdo the likes of Brazil, France, Argentina, and others?
France, much like England, didn't experience the smoothest lead-up to the Qatar World Cup, with a troubled Nations League run and just one win from six matches.
England may find Argentina a formidable opponent, but confidence could be warranted if England manages to exhibit some of last year's form, giving them the edge over Lionel Scaloni's side.
Brazil tops bookmakers' lists to clinch the trophy this year, which isn't unexpected considering the talent-packed roster. Despite being the most successful nation with five World Cup wins, their recent attempts have seen them bow out by the quarter-finals repeatedly.
Can England win the World Cup? Yes.
Will England secure World Cup victory? It's a challenging proposition.
While I'd cherish the sight of them finally claiming the crown, recent performances forge skepticism, leaving little faith to back them confidently.
Verdict : Bet not recommended at 9/1
England kicks off their 2022 World Cup adventure against Iran on November 21. How their journey unfolds in subsequent fixtures depends on whether they secure the 1st or 2nd spot in Group B.

Every nation would have hoped for a Group A placement, given Qatar's seed in that group rather than Brazil, Belgium, France, Argentina, England, Spain, or Portugal from Pot 1.
Beneficially, the Netherlands find themselves most favored by the draw, adding Senegal and Ecuador along with Qatar to Group A, thus enhancing their chances.
While tournament hosts often perform well, it's a challenging prospect for Qatar to advance from their group.
It's likely going to be a contest between the Netherlands and Senegal for the top two spots, and it seems probable that the Netherlands will clinch first place.

England emerged from pot 1 into Group B, accompanied by USA, Iran, and Wales.
England, naturally expected to lead the group, see odds set at 1/3. Southgate's men have consistently delivered in recent major tournaments, reaching third in the 2018 World Cup and notably to the final of Euro 2020, only to lose to Italy on penalties. While this group harbors challenges with the USA posing a potential threat and Wales fueled by the aspiration to outperform England, England should ultimately succeed at the top.
Nevertheless, predicting the second-place finish is harder, given that the final group participants have yet to be decided.
I've ruled out Iran, with either USA or Wales likely contenders for second place. Gareth Bale elevates his gameplay at the international level, and if he's in form, Wales might just have the edge they need for knockout qualification.

Argentina aims to surpass their 2018 World Cup journey where they reached the Round of 16, ultimately falling to the hosts, France, in a fiery 4-3 showdown.
In Group C, Argentina faces Poland, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia, standing as favorites to emerge at the forefront.
Saudi Arabia confronts a steep challenge in a competitive group, leaving Poland and Mexico to likely battle for second place.
Predicting the outcome is tricky, but there's this intuition that Mexico might just squeeze through.
Back in France '18, they also progressed to the Round of 16 before Brazil ended their journey with a 2-0 win.

This group looks relatively straightforward to predict, with France and Denmark as the likely candidates to move ahead.
The odds are in favor of France, a top pick by bookmakers to lift the trophy, while Denmark, who reached the Euro 2020 semifinals, is no pushover.
Teams like Tunisia and Australia aren't expected to seriously challenge their Group D competitors.

Labelled as this year's 'Group of Death,' Group E is the most competitive of all the World Cup groups.
Yet, much of the spotlight is on the two frontrunners, Spain and Germany; the others need to step up if they aim for a top-two finish.
Choosing a winner between Spain and Germany is hard, but Spain’s youthful squad could make them the surprise package if things fall into place.
Japan might compete energetically, but their lack of scoring capability might see them miss the top two spots.
Rounding up Group E, Costa Rica is not expected to significantly challenge the top favorites.

Group F brings together the world’s top-ranked Belgium, alongside Croatia, Morocco, and Canada.
While Croatia may vie for the top slot, Belgium in top form should be able to clinch it.
Canada's qualification is a first since 1986, greatly attributed to their dynamic English coach, John Herdman.
With their enthusiasm, Canada could end up third over Morocco but would need a major surprise to advance further.

Brazil, with five World Cup wins under their belt, teams up with Switzerland, Serbia, and Cameroon in Group G.
Brazil stands as the heavy favorite to top the group, but the race for the second spot promises heated competition.
Switzerland showed their mettle at Euro 2020, making it to the quarterfinals after defeating France and holding their ground against Spain.
Do not count Serbia out; they could very well fancy their own chances to advance.
Reflecting on past Swiss performances, I’d lean towards them taking the second spot.

Group H is loaded with potential as Portugal, Uruguay, South Korea, and Ghana make for an intriguing mix.
Portugal may lead the bookmakers’ odds, but their playoff route to this year’s event raises some doubts.
Ronaldo's presence adds a layer of determination as this could mark his final World Cup, yet one player isn’t an entire team.
Boldly, my forecast predicts Portugal might face an early exit.
Despite South Korea’s journey ending at the group stage frequently since 2010, they have been consistent qualifiers since 1982, led by star Son Heung-min.

A glance at any top UK bookmaker reveals the 'World Cup 2022 Winning Group' market.
This popular option can often be more intriguing than placing a bet on a single team to take the title.
Choosing this market means you’re wagering on which group will contain the winning nation.
A clever approach is making a shortlist of potential World Cup winners.
After that, note the groups these teams are part of.
If a group features multiple serious contenders, it might be prudent to bet on that group producing the champions.
Odds-wise, Group E stands out as favorites thanks to powerhouses like Spain and Germany.
| World Cup Winning Group Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Group | Live Odds | Bookie |
| Group E | |
|
| Spain, Germany, Japan, and Costa Rica all vie for the grand prize. | ||
| Group D | |
|
| France, Denmark, Tunisia, and Australia are contenders too. | ||
| Group G | |
|
| Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon are in the running for glory. | ||
| Group B | |
|
| England, Iran, USA, and Wales seek World Cup triumph. | ||
| Group C | |
|
| Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Poland all with dreams of glory. | ||
| Group A | |
|
| Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, and the Netherlands are in the mix. | ||
| Group H | |
|
| Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, and South Korea each have a shot. | ||
| Group F | |
|
| Belgium, Canada, Croatia, and Morocco aren’t without ambition either. | ||
Apart from the powerhouse duo Spain & Germany in Group E, no other group seems to house two prospective champions. Hence, I’d choose Group E at odds of 7/2.
Prediction : Group E
Another fascinating betting market is wagering on a team to win all their group matches.
This is about picking a team expected to sweep their three group stage matches.
Although not every bookmaker offers this, it combines fun with the potential for good returns with some study.
| World Cup To Win All Group Games Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| England | 7/4 |  |
| Argentina | 2/1 | |
| Brazil | 2/1 | |
| France | 2/1 | |
| Netherlands | 9/4 | |
| Belgium | 5/2 | |
| Portugal | 3/1 | |
| Spain | 3/1 | |
| Germany | 4/1 | |
| Uruguay | 9/1 | |
The odds suggest England might accomplish a clean sweep of their group games.
Recent years reveal Southgate's team rarely faltering, so they enter as favorites for their matches.
While challenges exist, England is expected to secure full points across all games.
Brazil and the Netherlands also appear promising bets.
Brazil should overcome Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon with ease, while the Netherlands face less formidable rivals in Qatar, Ecuador, and Senegal.
Prediction : England @ 7/4 & Netherlands @ 9/4
