Brazil Join Spain As Favourites For Fifa World Cup.
After the World Cup qualification rounds have come to and end and all but 8 European teams know who will compete at next years tournaments, there has been slight movement where there the odds are concerned.
Brazil have joined Spain as joint favourites at 9/2 with England, whilst staying at 6/1 have moved further up the pecking order into 3rd placed favourites. Mainly due to Argentinas great escape meaning they qualify without the need for an extra play off game.
Germany and Holland seem very good value at 10 and 11/1 respectively and would probably be a very good outside chance bet regardless of how the group stages are set. Germany are always in with a chance. They have so much organisation that turning up at World Finals almost comes with an extra invitation to turn up at the semi final stage at least.
Holland are dark horses and will always, much like England, carry an also-rans tag. Next year may be different as team that were unexpectantly knocked out during the last European Cup will have grown and matured, and, should injuries remain obsolete, become a strong force in what one could possibly call their home turf.
Portugal, despite not qualifying yet, are at 20/1 but they are unlikely to go further that a possible quarter final place. They have one man who is able to change games when he wishes, but whether that will be enough to go the full length remains to be seen.
Serbia are a fantastic team, they may not be glittered with super stars on huge wages but they click and mould like cream and cake. At 66/1 this seems like a team who could upset a lot of people, highly organised and dangerous up front, a semi or even final place could quite easily be in their reach.
The best online bookmakers will continue to change the prices and watch Portugals price decrease should they qualify.
