Group A

The competition will begin on November 20 in Qatar, the host country, which is a member of Group A and is ranked outsider.

For the group, they are often backable at odds of approximately 14/1, but the Infogol model predicts they should be closer to 27/1.

The Netherlands, who now have an implied odds of 1.45 and are the correct favorites to win the pool at a best price of 8/13 (1.62), are also the first team in the triple. This is because the model predicts that the Netherlands has a 69% chance of winning the group.

The two teams predicted to compete for the runners-up place are Senegal and Ecuador, and in contrast to the market, the model favors the South American countries.

ECUADOR achieved qualification from a tough continent while putting in a strong defensive effort (1.01 xGA per game). Senegal, the AFCON champions, is renowned for its tenacity, but the distance between the two teams in the market appears too great, especially with Sadio Mane, the African team’s standout player, perhaps out.

The best price of 11/10 (2.10) reflects a little of value in what will be a close head-to-head matchup as Infogol rates Ecuador as the favorite of the two teams TO QUALIFY, giving them a 53% (1.87) chance.

Group B

The Three Lions, who are the group’s top team, are the obvious favorites to win and advance.

The odds for Gareth Southgate’s team to win the group have reduced a little bit over the past few weeks to 4/9 (1.44), which means they just miss out on the value acca. Infogol has them at 69% (1.45).

However, Group B does provide something worthwhile in the form of USA TO QUALIFY.

The US or Wales appear to have a good chance of taking second place in the group, and the Infogol model favors the US more strongly.

Calculations show that Wales has a 37% chance of winning compared to the USA’s 55% (1.80 – 4/5) chances, making the 11/10 offered for the former a good value.

Iran is the outsider, having an only 19% chance of making the team.

Group C

Argentina, who I have picked to win the tournament outright, should have an easy time in Group C but aren’t the best bet to win the pool.

And neither do Mexico or Poland. The model makes Poland the narrow favorites with a 51% chance of moving on compared to Mexico’s 49%, and the market can’t separate the duo, both between 5/6 and even money.

The Poles were a bet a few weeks ago when they were 11/10, but the even money presently doesn’t offer enough value to recommend a bet, and odds-on quotes for Mexico to qualify should be avoided.

It is anticipated that Saudi Arabia would struggle in this group.

Group D

France, the defending champions, is the market favorite to win Group D, with odds of 1/2 (1.50 – 66.7%), but it seems too low given their primary rivals.

Les Bleus are given a 1.63 (6/10 – 61%) probability to win the pool by Infogol, but DENMARK TO WIN THE GROUP is their greatest rival and offers better value.

The Euro 2020 semi-finalists can be supported at 3/1 (4.0 – 25%) to pull off an upset and finish ahead of the French, but given their group opponents (Tunisia and Australia), it may come down to the head-to-head matchups between the top seeds.

If they draw, they might be distinguished by their dominance of victories over outsiders, and the Danes have the advantage in this regard thanks to their consistency and continuity.

Recent encounters between Denmark and France have also gone in favor of the Nordic side, so it makes a lot of sense to take a chance at a high cost.

The Danes should be offered at 19/10 (2.92), with a 34% chance of winning Group D, according to Infogol’s projections.

Group E

Once again, Spain and Germany stand out as being far superior to the other two teams in their group.

One of the two European teams will almost certainly win the group, and the model favors SPAIN to do so and considers them a value bet.

Infogol gives them a 10/11 (1.91 – 52%) probability while the market offers even money (2.0 – 50%).

While group rivals Germany under coach Hansi Flick still seem to be in transition, Luis Enrique’s team surprised at Euro 2020 by reaching the semi-finals and playing some swashbuckling forward football.

The Germans are currently the favorite to win the tournament at 6/5 (2.20), but Infogol has them closer to 7/5 (2.39 – 42%).

Japan, which did not advance from its group at the 2018 World Cup, and Costa Rica, who won its group in 2014, are in Group E, but the model only assigns them an 18% and 13% probability, respectively, of making it this time around.

Group F

The model predicts that BELGIUM, who finished third in the 2018 World Cup, will win Group F. Belgium is currently the favorite in betting.

Roberto Martinez’s team not only has a ton of quality in the midfield and forward positions, but also a ton of experience.

They are the epitome of a “flat track bully,” regularly winning group-stage and qualification matches before losing to stronger opposition.

That indicates that in a group that includes an outdated Croatia, an unknown Morocco, and an inexperienced Canada, the best price on offer at 8/11 (1.73 – 58%) should be purchased.

Martinez’s team is a good value, and as the second club to join the TREBLE, Infogol projects that the Belgians have a 66% (1.51 – 1/2) probability of winning the pool.

Europeans kin While Canada has the fourth-highest chance of any team in the competition of being eliminated in the group stage, Croatia is expected to advance alongside Belgium with a 62% likelihood of doing so, according to Infogol.

Group G

Brazil is the pre-tournament favorite to win Group G, and the Selecao is offered with odds of 4/9 (1.44 – 69%) to do so. However, Infogol says that odds should be lower, giving Neymar and co. a 72% (2/5 – 1.39) probability of taking the pool.

That’s sufficient for me to add them to the TREBLE alongside the Netherlands and Belgium as the third team. While the best price for the treble is often 5/2, Sky Bet has increased the price to 7/2. In some places, the same wager is as short as 19/10.

Both Serbia and Switzerland beat out major European powers to qualify for the World Cup; the Swiss beat out 2016 Euro champion Portugal and the Serbs beat out 2020 Euro champion Italy.

Despite the fact that both should be respected, betting on Switzerland to qualify from the group makes sense considering their success in big competitions and their strong post-Vladimir Petkovic record.

They are reasonably priced at a best price of 21/20 (2.05 – 49%), and according to the Infogol model, they are close to being a 3/4 shot (56% – 1.78).

Due to Cameroon’s inferior performance compared to their three group opponents, qualification will likely be decided in matchday three’s head-to-head matchup between Switzerland and Serbia.

Group H

Portugal is the favorite to win Group H at 8/11, despite the fact that they appear to be a weak favorite. A competitive-looking Uruguayan team is second at 21/10.

Those two seem like they might be too powerful for Ghana and South Korea.

I made a strong argument for the Uruguayans in my overall preview, and I believe the talent gap between the South Americans and their weaker opponents in Group H is wider than the odds imply.

While Ghana has produced a few good players in recent years that might make them interesting, Uruguay has the potential to advance far in this competition. South Korea is a squad that is progressing and should be respected, but they don’t have the same level of quality as Uruguay.
