This is a group full of champions. All of them are looking to extend their trophy cabinet. While none of these teams are completely new to the group stages, it will be difficult to qualify for the knockout phase. The future holds many mysteries and the next champions of the tournament might just be among these teams. These are our Group G betting predictions for the 2022 World Cup.
Group G matches hold a lot of potential for being some of the best at this stage of the competition. Much like our betting predictions for Group C, this set of teams includes some of the best in the world. You got to give credit when credit is due. Brazil is the most decorated World Cup team in history and also number one in the world and the CONMEBOL. Then we have Serbia, winners of UEFA Group A and one of the fastest-rising teams in Europe. Switzerland cracks the top 15 in the world as winners of Group C in the UEFA. Lastly, Cameroon, towards whom betting predictions for the World Cup might be a bit biased. They qualified as one of the best performers in the CAF.
The Brazilians Start As Clear Favorites For Group G Winners
Brazil is the most successful nation in World Cup history. They qualified for every single tournament and won a record five times. Out of their 21 appearances, not including this year, they made it past the group stage 19 times. They only reached the quarter-finals the last time, but the South American nation is always a favorite for the title.
Antonioni
According to the latest FIFA rankings, Brazil is the best team in the world and they’re always in the top three or five. So even with strong opponents, Brazil is favored to win Group G. Their odds of doing so are 1.44 on 20Bet Sportsbook. Furthermore, they’re probably the safest team to qualify for the next round with odds of 1.11.
World Cup Betting Predictions – Can Serbia Reach the Round of 16?
Serbia qualified for the World Cup ten times as part of the Yugoslavian kingdom, SFR Yugoslavia, FR Yugoslavia, and as Serbia and Montenegro. Independently, they have three appearances at the tournament between 2010 and 2022, including this year. Balkan teams have been consistently getting better over the years. This year, Serbia has been one of the best Eastern European teams. They’ll no doubt England strengthen this statement soon, during their UEFA Nations League campaign. FIFA ranked them 25th in the world earlier this year. Many of the World Cup betting predictions for Group G favor them to qualify with odds of 2.25. Winning the group will be a bit harder however with odds of 6.47.
Switzerland’s Chances Are Looking Good Upon First Glance
Switzerland will make its 12th appearance at the World Cup this year. This will also be their fifth straight qualification as they made it this far every time since 2006. The glory is short-lived however as their best results were reaching the quarter-finals three times, the last being in 1954.
The Swiss usually handle themselves well in the group stage and progress to the next stage with little to no issue. As their team currently holds a strong 14th position in the world, online gambling sites in Brazil favor them to qualify from Group G. Their odds for that are 2.00. Comparatively, they are expected to win their group with odds of 5.48. These matches will no doubt be full of surprises.
Cameroon – The Underdogs of World Cup Group G
Independent Cameroon made the World Cup eight times between 1962 and 2022. However, their best performance was in 1990 when they went all the way to the quarter-finals. During every other tournament, they couldn’t make it past the group stage. Things aren’t looking that good for them this year either as they’re considered the clear underdogs. They did well during the CAF qualifiers and are also on a decent current run in the African Cup. However, World Cup Group G Betting predictions don’t include Cameroon as potential candidates to advance to the next round. On 20Bet Sportsbook, their odds of winning their group are 12.94, while they might just qualify with odds of 3.23. They’re currently ranked 37th in the world, which puts them behind multiple teams that didn’t qualify for the finals.
