Brazil head the outright market in Group G as 5/1 (Highbet) favourites for Qatar glory as they look to put an end to a 20-year wait to lift the World Cup.
Brazil
Stacked in almost every position, it’s easy to see why the Selecao are favoured to add what would be a record-breaking sixth title to their all-time World Cup trophy haul.
Tite’s star-studded team cruised through South American qualification with room to spare, having impressively avoided defeat throughout the preliminary stages en-route to finishing six points in front of fierce rivals Argentina.
Unsurprisingly, Brazil are fully expected to manoeuvre their way through Group G where they will come up against Cameroon, Serbia and Switzerland.
You won’t get rich backing the Brazilians to top the section at a lowly 4/9 (Highbet) but backing poster boy Neymar to score two or more goals during the group stages holds appeal at 5/6 with PaddyPower.
All eyes will be firmly trained on Neymar who is just two strikes away from tying Pele’s record as Brazil’s all-time top scorer, and the Samba superstar could certainly do some damage early doors at an enticing price.
Switzerland
A case can certainly be made for 99/1 (Highbet) long-shots Switzerland being this tournament's dark horse.
Die Nati defied the odds to come from behind to dump reigning world champions France out of Euro 2020 at the round of 16 stage and they also topped a World Cup qualifying group that included European kings Italy.
As such, Murat Yakin’s men certainly won't be fazed by the challenges that Group G will throw their way, so much so the Swiss are priced up behind Brazil as even-money (Highbet) second-favourites to progress.
However, their qualification hopes could well hinge on what has the potential to be a do-or-die Matchday 3 showdown with Serbia in Doha.
Serbia
Dragan Stojković is an attack-minded coach and his Serbia side certainly have the potential to surprise.
The Eagles are an entertaining team who can score goals and they also look dependable in defence – a combination that could see them warrant interest as a wildcard pick at 80/1 (Highbet).
The supporting cast behind Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrović has improved since Serbia exited at the group stages four years ago, giving them a good chance of improving upon their efforts in Russia.
After going undefeated and topping a qualifying pool that included Portugal, the Serbians could be a shrewd option at 11/10 (Highbet) to seal their passage to the latter stages.
Cameroon
Cameroon kick-off their World Cup campaign as significant 7/2 (Highbet) underdogs to qualify from Group G.
Rigobert Song’s side should give a good account of themselves but getting out of this section might be just be too big an ask given the pedigree of the opposition that they have been placed alongside
A relatively recent loss in a meaningful match with international minnows Equatorial Guinea coupled with some pretty uninspiring World Cup warm-up performances would suggest that confidence cannot be high in the Cameroon camp.
With all things considered, the Indomitable Lions could represent a spot of value to finish bottom of the pile at 4/5 with PaddyPower..
