We’re going to break down a few teams that we think are capable of winning World Cup 2018. As well as our overall World Cup 2018 Winner Prediction.
The Favourites
Germany 9/2
Brazil 4/1
France 11/2
Spain 7/1
Argentina 9/1
Germany
The current Champions are worthy favourites and bookmakers have them as slight favourites over Brazil. As we’re sure you all know, Germany won the 2014 World Cup and looked rather impressive doing it. Much has changed since 2014 and the German team has changed with it. Following their defeat to France in the 2016 Euros the Germans managed an impressive perfect record in qualifying for World Cup 2018 and managed to win the Confederations Cup in the build up to 2018. They have a talented group of youngsters available and under coach Joachim Low they are a force to be reckoned with. Back the Germans to win at 9/2.
Brazil
Brazil have managed to turn their 2014 train wreck of a campaign into a something for the fans to cheer about for 2018. The Brazilian side is built around super star Neymar and have a very impressive roster of youngsters. The problem facing Brazil is the lack of depth in their squad. The starting XI only have Firmino and Willian as powerful replacements, with the rest of the subs being somewhat mediocre players. Couple this with a deceptively difficult group and it’s hard to see the Brazilians lifting the trophy in Russia. Back Brazil at 4/1.
France
France are blowing hot and cold at the moment and are not quite up to the same level as Germany and perhaps Spain. They are however more talented on paper and have incredible squad depth on which they can call. France didn’t blow anyone away during qualifying but if this group of players can click then they will be unstoppable. They posses an amazing attacking line up with the likes of Pogba, Griezmann, Mbappe and Dembele, all World Class players. The French also have a fairly easy group to navigate and should do well in 2018. Back France to win at 11/2.
Spain
Spain has been through more ups and downs than a roller coaster. They were disappointing in the 2014 World Cup as well as the 2016 Euros but turned things around with an impressive qualifying campaign. With a solid squad and more depth than you can shake a finger at Spain should do fairly well in 2018. The real question is if they will fold like they have in recent tournaments. Back Spain to win at 7/1.
Argentina
It’s the end of an era for many of Argentina’s stars, players like Romero, Agüero, Higuaín and Éver Banega, along with Messi will likely be playing in their last Major Tournament. It’s pretty much now or never for the South Americans. They certainly have the talent to perform, having reached the 2014 final. They were inconsistent in their qualifying campaign and some would say they were almost lucky to qualify. For all their talent the Argentine’s are very unreliable and could be in for an early exit. Back Argentina to win at 11/1.
Best Sports Betting World Cup 2018 Winner Prediction
France – The French have the talent and attacking prowess to cause an upset by beating out the likes of Germany, Brazil and Spain. Their biggest challenge will come from the likes of Belgium and Germany. Beat those two and we’re sure they’ll be lifting the trophy. The 11/2 on the French to win is not too attractive but we’d take them over the other heavyweights any day.
