Who are the Favourites to Win the 2022 World Cup?
Surprisingly, there is no outright favourite to win the World Cup 2022. The main contenders include the likes of France, Brazil, and Germany. France is a strong possibility after the European squad triumphed in Russia.
On the other hand, five-time world champions Brazil have incredible players that include the likes of Alisson, Richarlison and Philippe Coutinho. Up-and-coming players include Vinicius Jr. and Gabriel Martinelli which are both worthy of a mention.
Who are the World Cup 2022 Outsiders?
When it comes to the 2022 World Cup, it seems Argentina lead the ranks for the biggest Outsider to clinch the title of winner. They may have Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi on their side, but the European team is yet to make it onto the list of favourites just yet.
Perhaps their luck lies with players Lautaro Martinez, Paulo Dybala and Giovani Lo Celso expected to change the fate of Argentina and lead them to victory. Belgium are also outsiders at this point, and it may be thanks to their third-place finish in 2018.
Who are the World Cup 2022 Underdogs?
As with each World Cup there are a few obvious contenders for the title of true underdog. A few teams that may be worthy of keeping your eye on include Croatia, Uruguay, and Mexico.
While all three teams are regular competitors in the World Cup tournament, each has a strong chance of proving us wrong and showing their skills on the world stage.
For some, the U.S. national team could also make the list and be a worthy contender vying for the title of true World Cup Underdog.
