Betting on the World Cup Futures Before Round of 16 Matches

  • With only a few days left in the group stage, Brazil has stayed the favorite to win the 2022 World Cup with +250 odds.
  • The Netherlands are favored against Team USA in the knockout round and the USA currently have +8000 to win the World Cup.
  • England is a massive favorite against Senegal during the knockout round of 16 with -195 odds to advance and +850 odds to win the World Cup.

QATAR – With the final group stage matches ending on Friday, Brazil still stands as the current favorite to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup with +250 odds.

Even through all of these group stage matches, the top five favorites to win outright have mostly stayed the same and should not see much line movement before the round of 16 kicks off on Saturday.

2022 World Cup Odds

  • Brazil +250
  • France +550
  • Argentina +700
  • Spain +750
  • England +850
  • Germany +1200
  • Portugal +1200
  • Netherlands +1400
  • Belgium +5000
  • Croatia +6000
  • USA +8000
  • Uruguay +8000
  • Senegal +10000

Brazil still has one game to play left in the group stage on Friday against Cameroon and has -290 odds and are favored by 1.5 goals at USA online gambling sites. While Brazil has not won since the 2002 season, their current squad’s talent is being compared to the team that last brought them international success at the World Cup stage.

Betting on Underdogs Before Knockout Round

While Group A and Group B have already come to a conclusion, there are two matches on Saturday during the knockout round which will shorten the odds for the two teams that make it out. All four teams are currently considerable longshot to win the World Cup, but there is value in placing wagers before the two knockout games begin.

Knockout Match Odds

  • England -195
  • Senegal +600
  • Draw +300

During their Group B World Cup win, England only allowed their opponents to score two total goals. As heavy underdogs during the knockout stage, defense will be key for Senegal to move on. England scored six goals during the group stage against Iran but was held scoreless in the draw to the USA.

Knockout Match Odds

  • Netherlands -110
  • USA +330
  • Draw +240

Team USA has been made the underdog for the third game of their 2022 World Cup journey, and has shown their resilience thus far. Knocking out the Netherlands would shorten the USA’s World Cup odds, making now the best time to wager on them at World Cup online gambling sites.

Will the USA or Senegal escape the round of 16 as betting underdogs on Saturday?
