France are the defending champions, they won the 2018 World Cup in Russia against Croatia, and it is very likely that the French squad will reach another big final in Qatar 2022.

The European countries have the most World Cup trophies, a total of 16 titles for them while the South American countries have 9 titles, Brazil being the country with the most World Cups.

But in Qatar 2022 it could be the first time that an African country wins a World Cup since Morocco are very close to the final.

Croatia (8.00 odds at BetMGM) have a similar squad to the one they used during the 2018 World Cup, and so far they have done everything well to reach the semifinals and it is likely that they will play another final again.

Morocco (10.00 odds at BetMGM) more than favorites they are the strongest underdogs of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Their playing style is quite strong but lacks of attacking power, they hold the game with a strong defensive lineup.
