2022 FIFA World Cup odds, picks, groups, draw: Expert reveals best bets, top sleepers, long shots to back

Wales clinched its spot in the 2022 World Cup after securing a 1-0 victory over Ukraine in a playoff final on June 5. Wales will be making its first appearance at the World Cup since 1958, and just its second appearance overall. Gareth Bale will lead Wales against England, Iran and the USMNT in Group B at the 2022 World Cup, which gets underway from Qatar on Monday, November 21. 

Can Wales make a deep run in Qatar, or should you back a favorite like Brazil, France, England or Spain to lift the trophy? According to the latest 2022 World Cup odds from Caesars Sportsbook, Wales is going off as a massive 100-1 long shot. Meanwhile, Brazil is listed as the 9-2 favorite, with France (11-2), England (6-1) and Spain (15-2) next in line. Before you lock in your 2022 World Cup picks, you need to see what SportsLine’s soccer insider Martin Green has to say.

Top 2022 FIFA World Cup predictions 

Green is fading Brazil, who are the favorites to win in Qatar at +450 from Caesars. Brazil is in top form ahead of the 2022 World Cup, going unbeaten in its last 13 games overall. The Brazilian national team is often heralded for its free-flowing style of play, but it’s been their defense that has been sensational during their unbeaten streak. 

In fact, Brazil has recorded a shutout in six of its last eight fixtures. In addition, Brazil has scored four or more goals in four of its last five games, which includes a five-goal outburst in a friendly against South Korea on June 2. However, Green doesn’t believe Tite’s squad has what it takes to beat the world’s best teams in Qatar. Plus, Brazil was unable to win the Copa America on home soil last summer, losing 1-0 to Argentina in Rio de Janeiro.

“Brazil has not won the World Cup since 2002, and it crashed out in the quarter finals in 2018,” Green told SportsLine. “[Brazil] may find France, England or Spain too strong in the latter stages of this tournament.”

How to make 2022 World Cup picks

Green has locked in his best bets to win the 2022 World Cup, along with the top picks to win each group. He’s also high on two dark horse teams that are listed higher than 60-1 who have a chance to shock the world and win it all. You can only see them here.
