France National Football Team

France won the last FIFA World Cup in 2018, defeating Croatia with the score of 4:2 at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia. Currently, the France football team is the favourite for 1st place in Qatar’s 2022 Fifa World Cup. The French have 5-1 odds to win back-to-back World Cup titles. The last time a country achieved back-to-back championships at the World Cup was long ago. when Brazil’s football team won in 1958 and 1962.

Brazil

Brazil is always seen as a historically strong contestant in the upcoming competition. As mentioned they held back-to-back wins in two World Cups long ago and additionally, Brazil is a strong football force overall. The last time Brazil got to the finals in the World Cup was in 2002. Brazil lost from Argentina in the Copa America finals but is still one of the top contestants for 2022.

Spain is next on the list of potential favourites, followed by Germany, Belgium, and Portugal. Germany and Spain have 8-1 bets on their side.

In 2014 Germany was the champion in the World Cup, and in 2018 was eliminated in the group stage. In 2018 Spain lost in 16 sets, but Germany didn’t make noticeable success in Russia.
