Favorites to win FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022
Brazil (+225)
It took nearly the entire game, but Casemiro was able to find the decisive goal in the 83rd minute to vault Brazil into first place in Group G. The favorites are yet to concede a goal in the 2022 World Cup, and will look to close out the group stage on a high note when they face Cameroon Friday.
France (+550)
The defending champions were given an early scare, going down 1-0 to Australia, but it was nearly relentless French pressure in a 4-1 victory. With a 2-1 win over Denmark in their second game, France became the first team to secure a place in the Round of 16.
Spain (+650)
Some doubted Spain's chances of topping their group, shared with Germany, but matchday one sure changed that. Shortly after Japan stunned the Germans in a 2-1 win, Spain tore Los Ticos apart 7-0. Spain appeared on their way to a 1-0 victory on Sunday before the Germans added an equalizer late in the match and securing a draw. The Spaniards are atop their group and need just a draw vs. Japan to officially advance to the Round of 16.
