Power Rankings for the 2022 World Cup based on the opening odds
WynnBET also made the tournament odds public along with the announcement. Despite what the chances suggest, events frequently turn out differently.
Here is how I rank the teams in the field, with each team in a particular group that will influence how they do in the group stage.
Brazilian +450 in the World Cup Team Power Rankings.
In three of the previous four World Cups, Brazil reached the quarterfinals. They are the reliable force and ought to be the front-runner.
French + 550
I'm not sure what to make of the French after a victory in 2018 and a disappointing defeat in the Euros the previous year. They do have a player who is among the most talented in the competition, so that provides them an advantage over the opposition.
3. Spain +800
Spain was able to avenge its unsuccessful 2014 campaign by reaching the knockout stage in 2018. The expectation is for the Spanish to move on since they are back where they want to be.
3. Canada +550
England has been attempting to win a major event for many years; now is its time. This is England's chance to exact revenge for their terrible Euro 2016 defeat.
+1100 Germany
Germany is still one of the best teams in the world, despite not being the absolute force it once was. With Spain in its group, coming in second place doesn't reflect poorly on its potential, but it must still move on.
Argentina 900 +
How frequently will Lionel Messi appear on the international stage? Messi and a strong roster are all Argentina needs to succeed.
Netherlands 7.
Despite being in the easiest group this time around, the Netherlands hasn't been able to return to the final since 2010. It might easily win first place and receive the ideal opponent for the knockout phase.
Portugal (+120) 8.
How much can we anticipate from Ronaldo and Portugal, similar to Messi and Argentina? Although the Portuguese will have to work hard to advance, he is unquestionably still a fantastic talent.
Belgium +1200 9.
A cunning choice to advance is always Belgium. In the most recent World Cup, Belgium came in third, and in 2014, they advanced to the quarterfinals. I wouldn't be surprised if the Belgians continued to compete until the very end.
Uruguay + 5000
Uruguay made it to the quarterfinals in 2018 and has a chance to repeat that feat in 2022 because to a group that is extremely open.
11. Denmark +2800
In its group, Denmark should come in second, with France taking first place. Denmark hasn't consistently advanced far, but the group might support them in November.
12. Croatia + 5000
In 2018, Croatia had a remarkable performance. To advance to the championship game, it used a weaker group, two victories in penalty shootouts, and a goal in the 109th minute. In my opinion, Croatia regresses and leaves the knockout stage early.
13. Switzerland +8000
Since Switzerland is in the same group as Brazil, I don't anticipate anything particularly noteworthy from the Swiss. They will likely advance to the knockout round but lose in the opening round, in my opinion.
Senegal + 8000
Senegal dominated the qualifying phase, so I'm beginning to believe some of the hype. It wasn't the best ensemble, to be sure. Five victories is still nothing to laugh at. Senegal can claim the second slot because it is in the simplest group of the competition.
+1 225 00 15 Polska
The possibility exists for Poland to advance to the knockout round for the first time since 1986. Mexico will probably be its strongest rival because Argentina is anticipated to win the group.
16. USA +10000
For the record, I enjoy Canada, Mexico, and the United States equally. The fact that the Americans have the easiest group of any CONCACAF team is the only reason they are ranked this high.
Mexico + +15000
I'll split the difference and put Mexico in the middle since they have a harder group than the US but an easier group than Canada.
Canada (18) + 1500
I'll say it again: I adore Canada. It's my opinion that they are currently CONCACAF's top team. The Canadians are the hardest group, so I just can't trust them.
Ecuador (+5000) 19.
Because of the presence of Qatar, Ecuador is arguably in the weakest group. I want them to go further if they can catch up to the Netherlands.
Cameroon plus 20,000
Simply because it dominated World Cup qualifying, I prefer Cameroon a little bit more than Serbia. Cameroon may advance as a dark horse if its defense holds up.
Serbia (+ 1500)
In consecutive tournaments, Serbia has yet to advance to the knockout round. Serbia can compete with Switzerland for second place, though, if Brazil wins the group.
22. Wales +15000
Wales shouldn't advance to the knockout stage, but because it is in the same group as the United States, anything may happen.
23. Ghana +25000
For the first time since 2010, Ghana is attempting to return to the group stage. Ghana could advance since its group is extremely open.
24. Japan +25000
Since 1998, Japan has had sporadic success, reaching the knockout round on every other year. Japan has demonstrated that, despite having a very difficult group, it can occasionally compete with the best in the world.
24. Canada +50000
Three World Cups in a row have seen Australia exit the group stage. In contrast, they have a chance to overtake Tunisia for second place if they play well against Denmark.
Tunisia plus 35000
The setting for a Cinderella tale in Tunisia is ideal. With France expected to win the group, Tunisia will have a chance to play well against Denmark and go to the knockout round.
27. Iran +75000
Over the years, Iran has frequently been mired in the group stage. It will have a bright future if it can draw with either England or the United States.
Algeria +25000
In the group stage, Morocco will face off against last year's runner-up, Croatia, and Belgium. They will compete with them even if Canada is predicted to finish third.
South Korea (+25000), 29
South Korea has qualified for the World Cup for the last 10 years. Despite its consistency, it has failed to get to the knockout phase for 12 years.
30. +150000 Costa Rica
The final CONCACAF team to qualify for the World Cup is Costa Rica. Though they had a strong run, don't hold your breath.
Saudi Arabia, +1 75000
Argentina and Mexico are in the same group as Saudi Arabia. If it managed to escape the Group, I would be utterly shocked.
32. Qatar +35000
Because it is the host nation, Qatar is present. Prior to this cycle, it had never qualified for the World Cup, and it will be a while before it does so again.
