Uruguay's chances of advancing to the World Cup final are relatively good, although they haven't been to the semi-finals in 52 years. The side's emergence in recent years, and the signing of striker Darwin Nunez from Liverpool, will also boost their chances. If Uruguay can get past Group H and reach the final, the odds of a fourth consecutive title will be extremely appealing.
Uruguay is a clear favorite in the opening match against South Korea. Depending on the handicapping, the odds may be at -1.5 goals for Uruguay and +1.5 goals for South Korea. There's also a goal total market where punters can bet on how many goals a team will score.
Portugal, meanwhile, have had a difficult qualifier, but they should still reach the knockout stages despite a lower average age. The team is led by Cristiano Ronaldo, who is hoping to lift his first World Cup trophy. Meanwhile, Uruguay's average age is higher than the rest of the teams and will be looking to secure their first title in decades.
France is another team with a strong chance of making it through to the knockout stages. They have a solid squad and are chasing Brazil on the World Cup odds 2022 board. However, their squad may be lacking in the key areas that will help them win the tournament. They have lost in the quarterfinals to Switzerland but are full of talent. Despite being a bit of a dark horse, France is a top team to watch in the 2022 World Cup.
Uruguay's midfield consists of a mix of styles. A few players are strong ball carriers, while others are more aggressive. Lucas Torreira is a great ball-winner with an aggressive style. But it's the technical wide players who will take the lead on counter-attacks.
England, Germany, and France are the other countries that can win the World Cup in 2022. England is the second favourite to win the tournament in Qatar, but lost out to Italy in the Euro 2020 final. They have been a great team in qualifying. Their opponents in Group G include Switzerland and Cameroon.
Brazil is favored to win Group G. At -300, they should easily win their group and move on to the knockout bracket. However, Switzerland and Serbia are neck in Group G. Cameroon, a team with years of experience, is another good outside bet. The last World Cup group includes four nations from four continents. They have been to the World Cup Finals twice already, the last in 2014, so they have a decent chance to do well.
If France and Uruguay get through Group D, the defending champions should have a relatively easy time getting through the group stage. But it is important to remember that defending champions often struggle at the World Cup. But France's squad is too talented to fall by the wayside. Denmark, on the other hand, could make an early run in the World Cup. They beat France and Austria in the 2020 Euros, and even though Christian Eriksen had a cardiac arrest in midseason, they are considered a legitimate threat.
