In mid-June, the names of all 32 participants in the upcoming World Cup to be held in Qatar officially became known, and experts are in a hurry to share their versions of the outcome of the mundial.
Australia and Costa Rica, which defeated Peru and New Zealand in intense intercontinental qualifying matches, won their most recent berths to the 2022 World Cup. Thus, these teams have joined another three dozen national teams that have previously participated in the final stage of the Qatar Mundial, and their fans can already plan their trip to the exotic eastern country, where the soccer championship for the first time in its history will be held at an unusual time. Not in the summer, as has usually been the case with this tournament, but in November-December of this year.
Whose fans are preparing for the start of the competition with the most optimistic expectations of the outcome of the tournament? Who are the experts betting on? If you start from the quotations of betting analysts, the highest chance to win in Qatar is the team of Brazil, which confidently passed the selection process for the World Cup in South America and has probably the most stellar lineup of players. In the Brazilians as the future winners of the world forum believe the experts of the famous betting company Leon, always closely watching the situation around the future World Cup-2022. And those soccer fans who have already received a bonus of BC Leon for registration and are ready to use it for betting on the future world champion have already noticed that the chances of the Pentacampeons to win the next title are now equal to 20% probability. And that's the highest of all 32 participants.
In addition to the Brazilians, the top five teams with the highest chances of winning the World Cup 2022 also include teams from France (15.5% chance of success), England (15%), Argentina (13%) and Spain (11.5%). But the team of Germany, which not so long ago became the winner of the World Cup (on the fields of Brazil in 2014), this time is considered by experts only the sixth in line for the trophy, and its chances are below 9%.
Speaking about the main "underdogs" of the upcoming tournament, that is - the teams with the lowest odds of success, it is worth saying that these are considered by betting analysts as the national teams, which were the last to book their tickets for the World Cup - i.e. Australia and Costa Rica. The odds of the Australians winning the World Championships are estimated at 0.2%, while the Costa Ricans have 0.1% chance.
Recall that the current world champion is the French team, which in the decisive match of the previous World Cup, held in the summer of 2018 in Russia, defeated the Croatian national team with a score of 4:2 at the Moscow stadium "Luzhniki".
At the same time, the main favorites of the upcoming World Cup 2022 - the Brazilians, are the record-breakers in the number of wins at the world championships. The representatives of the "Homeland of Samba" have five titles under their belt, hence their current nickname - "Pentacampeons", which can be changed already in December in case of the sixth success of the "Ballmasters" at the World Forum.
