What is the World Cup Prediction?

The World Cup has only ever been won by nations from Europe or South America and that trend continued in 2022. The two confederations have the strongest leagues and national teams.

In terms of competitive leagues, Europe has the leading football nations. The best players in the world play in the Premier League in England, and the other domestic leagues in Germany, Italy, Spain, and France.

Brazil

Brazil was one of the leading nations in the tournament and has been the world champion five times. They easily came through the World Cup qualifiers and were the favourites to be the World Cup winner in 2026.

France

France was the world champion after winning the tournament in 2018. The team’s nucleus had not changed much in four years, and several of their best players represent leading clubs in the Premier League.

Spain

Spain is not the force of old when they won three consecutive international tournaments, including the World Cup in 2010. However, they are still one of the leading football nations in the world.

Germany

Germany won the World Cup in 2014 but did not get through their group World Cup qualifiers in Russia four years ago. The nation is usually strong in tournaments but failed miserably, once again, in Qatar.

England

England has only won the World Cup in their own country in 1966. They reached the semi-finals four years ago and lost to Italy on penalties in the final of Euro 2020.

They came through the World Cup qualifiers with ease and were one of the favourites in Qatar.

Argentina

Argentina won the World Cup as hosts in 1978 and again eight years later when their talisman, Diego Maradona, was the best player in the world.

The 2022 tournament was probably Lionel Messi’s last chance to win the World Cup and he showed, alongside the rest of the squad, that Argentina is the best in the world.

What Are the Best World Cup Betting Tips

The World cup is the biggest single sports tournament in the sport. The World Cup qualifiers have led to the 32 nations taking part. In looking at the World Cup qualifying predictions here are some tips which might help find the World Cup winner.

World Cup History

The last four World Cup winners were European nations, and Brazil was the last winner from South America, in 2002.

Only eight nations have won the World Cup (Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and England) and the World Cup qualifying predictions suggest they will play in the knockout rounds.

Current Form

Italy is the European champion after winning the tournament in the summer of 2021. However, the losing finalist, England, has the better young squad and could be the second time.

Argentina won Copa America and is the best South American team, but Lionel Messi is reaching the veteran stage, and his team may not be good enough.

Squad Selection

The World Cup winners play seven matches in just over one month so need the best players in the squad. Key injuries could affect the players who are selected to play in the tournament and the important World Cup games.

Injuries and suspensions will be the main factors when you are considering your World Cup betting tips after the World Cup qualifiers.

What Are the Top Scorer Predictions?

Harry Kane

The English player was the top scorer in the 2018 World Cup. He is now England’s all-time top scorer and scored four goals at Euro 2020.

Kane is one of the best strikers in the world and was a main tip in the top scorer World Cup predictions.

Neymar

Neymar has a brilliant goal-scoring record for Brazil and was one of their best players in the World Cup qualifiers. An injury severely dented his chances of taking the top scorer award – and Brazil crashed out in the last eight.

Cristiano Ronaldo

He is Portugal’s record scorer and had scored in seven successive international tournaments. Ronaldo is always predicted to score goals because he has an outstanding overall record in all competitions.

But he was dropped at times in Qatar and never really made a meaningful impact.

Lionel Messi

Messi had never won the World Cup with Argentina before but he has always had an excellent scoring record for his country. Alongside Ronaldo, he is one of the two best players in the world.

He continued to score throughout the tournament and was only just beaten in the end.

Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe only just missed out on winning the World Cup and became only the second player ever to score a hat-trick in a final. That was enough for him to take the top goal scorer award and he will, no doubt, return to achieve further success in the years to come.
