Brazil (+400) is the favorite to win the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
Brazil is the favorite to win the 2022 World Cup and extend their record of five tournament victories, led by Neymar and Vinicius Jr., two of the world’s most in-form attackers at the moment, and featuring a star-studded supporting cast.

Brazil has played every bit like the favorite they are in recent years, including a dominant run through qualifying. They were assigned to Group G, which included Serbia, Cameroon, and Switzerland.

(+550) France
The reigning World Cup champions are chasing Brazil at the top of the betting odds. Les Bleus are coming off a disappointing Euros performance in which they blew a 3-1 lead in the final 10 minutes and lost on penalties to Switzerland in the quarterfinals, but they still have by far the most talent in the world and should be expected to fiercely defend their title in Qatar.

They were assigned to Group D, which included Denmark, Tunisia, and Australia.

(+700) Argentina
No team, arguably, will be under more pressure in Qatar than Argentina, who, fresh off a Copa America victory in 2021, are looking forward to one final major tournament with Lionel Messi. Messi won his first trophy for his country in South America, but the World Cup dwarfs that achievement.

Messi has started the domestic season brilliantly for PSG, with co-stars such as Lautaro Martinez also in fine form ahead of the World Cup.

Futures odds for the FIFA World Cup
Betting on the FIFA World Cup outright winner is a popular futures betting option, and odds are usually released shortly after the previous World Cup winner is crowned. These odds will change depending on how countries and players perform in the run-up to the World Cup. Soccer odds will also be adjusted based on handle and liability with specific countries. Futures odds are displayed in a list format, with each option and its odds ranked from best to worst chances of winning. A plus (+) sign is usually placed in front of a team’s futures odds, as shown below:

+500 France
This means that if France wins the World Cup, you could win $500 on a $100 bet. As the World Cup approaches, or if one team has been particularly dominant, you may notice a country with a minus sign (-) ahead of its odds.

-110 for Brazil
This means that you would have to bet $110 to win $100 on Brazil winning the World Cup.
