FIFA World Cup Football Betting 2022

While the dust may have settled on Italy’s European Championship triumph at Wembley, the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Europe are scheduled to continue on September 1st.
What’s more, the World Cup proper will be held during the months of November and December 2022 rather than at the end of the relevant season, due to host nation Dubai’s sultry summers and the impact of temperatures that often exceed 40 degrees.
Make no mistake; this will be a football betting event like no other; and one that’s likely to entice bets and wagers from across the globe. We’ve got you covered at Betinireland, however, and have prepared a neat guide to help you get the most from your bankroll when it comes to FIFA World Cup Betting

📈 Are There Any Early Predictions?

Before we delve deeper into the precise world cup outright odds currently on offer, it’s important to note that the conditions will have a key bearing on the outcome of the 2022 tournament.
Even during the months of November and December in Dubai, temperatures can peak at between 28 and 30 degrees (with an average humidity of 60%). This will create testing playing conditions in some circumstances, meaning that teams who are used to increased heat and humidity may be best placed to prevail next year.
So, South American nations like Brazil, Argentina and even Chile may offer value as potential outright winners, even though a team from this continent hasn’t actually lifted the World Cup since Brazil prevailed in Japan in 2002.
💯 The World Cup Betting Odds
Below we are providing you with the world cup odds outright table from the best betting sites in Ireland and the UK. Let's see who the bookies favourite for the world cup is.
You can find the selected world cup odds for Brazil and Argentina below, with Messi’s side currently priced at around 11/1 to secure what would be their third World Cup triumph.
But which other competing sides listed below offer the best value from a punter’s perspective? Here are three of our picks for the very best ante-post wagers!
1️⃣ Backing the Favourite - Brazil World Cup Odds (11/2)
We’ll start our world cup picks with five-time World Cup winners Brazil, who as we say will be accustomed to the conditions in Qatar and are currently competitively priced at 11/2 to lift the Jules Rimet trophy.
Tite’s side also looked like an organised and competitive outfit during their recent Copa America campaign, despite a narrow, 1-0 defeat to Argentina that belied their status as favourites to prevail.
At the heart of any likely success will be the talismanic Neymar, with the PSG forward central to the team’s fluid attacking play and his country’s second-highest goalscorer of all time (with 68 strikes in 111 caps). Real Madrid’s Casemiro and the combative Fred also provide strength and tenacity in midfield, while the pace and direct running of Everton’s Richarlison will surely trouble defences in the oppressive conditions.
Like most contemporary Brazil sides, this outfit combines steel and hard work with pace and flair in abundance, so it’s well-placed to go deep in the tournament at the very least.
2️⃣ Championing an Underdog - Germany World Cup Odds (10/1)
While the Germans may have flattered to deceive during Euro 2020 (thrashing Portugal 4-2 with a highly impressive attacking display before losing meekly to England in the Round of 16), there’s no doubt that the side boasts a talented and noticeably youthful core.
From Chelsea’s silky forward Kai Havertz (21) to Leroy Sane (25) and the undeniably precocious Jamal Musiala (18), the German team is packed full of individual talent, particularly in the forward and attacking midfield positions.
The talented 23-year-old midfielder Floran Neuhaus (who plays for Borussia Monchengladbach) may also have established himself as a first-team star in time for the World Cup, providing some much-needed craft and guile behind a pacy front line.
What’s more, the side can now call upon the abundant skills of new manager Hansi Flick, whose preference of a 4-2-3-1 formation and aggressive pressing tactics are ideally suited to a fluid and highly energetic German squad.
These factors augur well for Germany ahead of the World Cup, while betting on them at a price of around 10/1 offers considerable value in our books!
3️⃣ The Best Value Bet – Belgium World Cup Odds (14/1)
Currently available at an ante-post price of 14/1 with Unibet, Belgium is undoubtedly one of the best value bets to lift the World Cup next winter.
They were knocked out of Euro 2020 in the Quarter-Finals by Italy, the eventual winners, and they came third in the 2018 World Cup,
beating England in the Third-Fourth place play-off. This Belgium squad has been called the Golden Generation, and it is no wonder since
they have the likes of Kevin de Brunye, Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard, Youri Tielemans, Dries Mertens, and Thibaut Courtois to choose from.
In World Cup qualifying, they finished at the top of their group with 20 points from eight matches, winning six and drawing two. They finished five points above Wales in second place, scoring 25 goals and conceding just six, so to say that they qualified with ease is a bit of an understatement. They have the quality to beat any team on their day, and there is not a team that will be competing at the World Cup that will be looking forward to playing them.

1️⃣ BoyleSports World Cup

BoyleSports is an Irish bookmaker and it has become one of the biggest and most popular brands in the Emerald Isle. Many Irish punters use it for betting on sports such as greyhound racing and horse racing because it is one of the best around for these sports, but it is also a quality sportsbook when it comes to placing bets on big football events such as the upcoming 2022 Qatar World Cup.
BoyleSports, like all bookies, love it when a new player opens an account with them, and if you decide to do just that, then you will be able to claim €40 worth of free bets once you have made your first wager of at least €10. This is a quality Welcome Bonus if you ask us, and it will give you the chance to get your football betting off to a flier. Since it is a free bet world cup bonus, there are no wagering requirements, which is always great to hear.
Obviously, once you have made use of a Welcome Bonus, you will want there to be a number of top promotions that you can make use of to. BoyleSports are aware of this, which is why they have a number of quality football promotions on offer that we are sure will still be on offer by the time the 2022 FIFA World Cup begins.
100% Football Acca Boost: Place an accumulator with at least four football selections on it and you will qualify for this promotion. The boost that you will be given will depend on the number of selections that you add to your accumulator. For example, if you keep it as a four-team accumulator and you go on to win the wager, you will get a 10% bonus added to your winnings. However, if you opt to go for a huge 13-team accy and it wins, you will get 100% added to your winnings.
Acca Loyalty: This is an opt-in promo, and if you decide to do so, then for every five accys that you make that have combined odds of 4.00 or higher, you will receive €5 to put on a free accy.
Acca Insurance: There is nothing more annoying than losing out on a lovely profit with an accy because just one of your selections ends up being incorrect. BoyleSports are aware as to how annoying this can be, which is the reason why they have an acca insurance promotion running that we are sure will still be on offer come November. With this promotion, if your accy loses because of just one selection, then you will receive the value of your wager back as a free bet up to €20. You need to place a wager of €5 to qualify for such a promotion.
Obviously, we are pretty sure that you will want to place some live bets on matches at the World Cup, so you will be happy to find out that BoyleSports have a wide variety of live football markets that you can test out your luck on. Just think of a popular football market that you like to place bets on throughout the year, and there is a very good chance that you will be able to find such markets at BoyleSport too. When it comes to betting on the 2022 World Cup, you will definitely not have a shortage of markets to choose from.
Do they offer a cash out option? Well, BoyleSports happen to be one of the biggest sports betting sites in Ireland, so it should not come as much of a surprise to find out that they have a Cash Out option. So, if you place a World Cup bet and it is winning but it looks like it might go on to lose, you can take a look at the cash out figure and see if it is worth taking. When it comes to live streaming, they offer plenty of live streams for other popular sports such as greyhound racing and horse racing, but that is all. So, unless they make an exception for the World Cup, you will not be able to watch matches here.
2️⃣ Betway World Cup

When Betway was first released on the sports betting world, it got plenty of negative reviews and it looked like it was going to be one of those brands that just comes and goes. However, they took the criticism on board, made the necessary adjustments, and now they are considered to be one of the best bookies in the world, especially when it comes to betting on sports such as football. Therefore, we cannot speak about the best bookmakers for betting on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar without mentioning Betway.
If you decide to make Betway the place that you go to place bets on football events such as the World Cup, then what type of Welcome Bonus will you be looking at? Well, they will be happy to match your first deposit up to the value of €30, so long as your first deposit is at least €10. Like with all bonuses, there are other T&Cs that apply too, so make sure that you check these out before you go ahead and claim it.
So, now that we know what the welcome offer is, we shall look at some of the football promotions that they have running and that we expect will still be running when it is time for the 2022 Qatar World Cup to start.
Free Bet Club: Opt into this bet and you will earn yourself two €5 free bets each week that you place €25 or more on accumulators will three or more selections.
Odds Boosts: Each day, Betway will choose certain markets from their football section and will increase the odds for them. We expect that they will be doing the same during the World Cup to entice their punters to place wagers with them. For example, the odds for Harry Kane to score against Iran might be 3.00, and Betway decide to offer odds of 5.00 for him to score. To check out what odds are boosted, you just need to sign into your account each day.
Bet Builder: Choose a football match at the World Cup that you want to place an accumulator bet on, and then go through the various markets and choose the ones that appeal to you. You will be able to bet on a plethora of outcomes ranging from number of goals to player shots on target to player yellow cards. Combine your selections into one bet for the chance to win yourself a bigger payout.
What about live betting at Betway? Well, Betway are actually well-known for having a quality live betting platform and this is mostly down to their market variety. Simply think of anything that you would like to bet on in a football game, and we are pretty sure that Betway will be offering their customers odds for it. When it comes to market variety and competitive odds, there are not many that can compete with this bookie.
It is always wise to open an account with a bookmaker that has frequent cash out options, and Betway is a bookie that is not going to let you down in this regard. When you place a wager, you will have the option to cash it out should you think that things will be turned on its head and your bet will go on to be a losing one. We are 100% certain that they are going to have this cash out feature in play during the World Cup.
Will you be able to watch World Cup matches on Betway's extensive streaming feature? Well, at this moment in time, we are not too sure because we do not know if they have the rights to broadcast any footage. It is easy enough to check though when the action gets underway.
3️⃣ Luckster

When it comes to online sports betting sites, you really do not get much newer than Luckster since it has only been online since 2022. This is a gambling platform that looks to bring a new lease of life to the betting industry, and we think that it is fair to say that they have managed to do exactly that. The fact that it makes our list of top bookies for betting on big football events such as the FIFA World Cup speaks volumes about just how good it is. Let us dive a little bit deeper.
If you decide to make Luckster Sports the place you go to bet on your favourite sporting events, then what is the Welcome Bonus that you will be able to claim? Well, they are currently offering a 100% match bonus up to the value of €100, so if you decide to deposit €20 first up, you will receive an extra €20 to spend on whatever you feel like. The minimum amount that you can deposit stands at €10, while there are wagering requirements of 9x. There are some other terms and conditions, so we recommend you give those a read before you start using this bonus.
Luckster might be new to the world of sports betting, but they are already fully aware of the fact that they need to keep their existing players happy too. Therefore, they have another promotion running that their punters can make use of, and we are pretty sure that this will be running when the World Cup gets underway in November. If it is not, then they will have replaced it with something that is just as good, if not better.
Boost Your Combo Wins: Thanks to this promo, you will be able to enjoy up a boost of up to 77% on your accumulator wins that have four selections or more. If you place a four-fold accumulator and it goes on to win, you will land a boost of 4%, while if you place a 15-fold accumulator and it goes on to be a winning one, you will land yourself a 77% boost on your winnings. This is a promotion that applies to a variety of sports, not just football.
What is their live betting platform like? Well, live betting is something that has become really popular nowadays with football betting fans, so sportsbooks that are serious about the business that they are in will know that it is within their best interest to offer up a quality live betting section. Even though Luckster Sports is new a brand, but they have done their homework because they have made sure that they have a quality live betting section where you can take advantage of a wide variety of markets and really competitive odds.
It is wise to open an account with a brand that gives its bettors a cash out option that they can make use of. When there is a cash out option available, you are in complete control of your wager because you can select the best time to settle it and make a profit. Whether you have placed a combo or single bet, you can cash out your wagers at Luckster Sports with a click of a button.
When it comes to live streaming, this is where Luckster lacks since they do not have a live streaming option. They might decide to add one in the future, so this is something that you should keep an eye out on. Even if they did have a live streaming feature, it is not likely that they would be able to show any 2022 FIFA World Cup matches anyway because they would probably not have the broadcasting rights to do so.
4️⃣ William Hill World Cup

William Hill happens to be one of the oldest bookies out there, which is sheer testament to just how good a sportsbook they are. Those who enjoy placing wagers on greyhound racing and horse racing often sign up with William Hill because it is a quality sports betting site for such sports, but it is also a really good bookie for those who like to place wagers on football.

Acca Club: Place an accumulator of €20 or above with at least three selections once per week and you will get a €5 free bet the next Monday.

So, those are the promos that they currently have running, but what is their live betting section like? Well, if you are the kind of football punter that likes to place live in-play bets, we are sure that you will not have anything to complain about since William Hill knows what it takes in order to provide their punters with a quality live football betting experience. They have made sure that they offer a wide variety of markets as well as ensuring that their odds are competitive. When it comes to placing live bets on the 2022 World Cup with William Hill you will not be short of in-play markets to bet on.

5️⃣ Ladbrokes World Cup Betting Site

William Hill can claim to be one of the world's oldest sports betting sites, but Ladbrokes can claim to be the oldest bookie in the world. The fact that Ladbrokes has been around for over a century tells you all that you need to know about how good they are. Obviously, a world cup football betting site that is as good as Ladbrokes will have a variety of top promos running all of the time, so let us now take a look at them.

The final feature is called Free Bet Back, and this will give you up to €10 back as a free bet should one selection let you down in your accumulator. This features applies to an accumulator with five or more selections and is for selected markets such as both teams to score, match result, match result and both teams to score, over/under total goals, and correct score.

With regard to live streaming, Ladbrokes have a quality streaming service. They offer live streams for a variety of sports such as football, horse racing, grey hound racing, rugby, and basketball. When it comes to football streams, they stream over 30 football leagues and tournaments from around the world. Therefore, although we do not yet know for certain, when the 2022 World Cup starts, there will be a very good chance that they will be streaming some matches for their punters.
6️⃣ Betiton

Betiton has only been around for a little over two years, but in this time they have already showed the sports betting world that they will be around for much longer. If you are searching for a new and exciting online sportsbook that will provide you will a quality World Cup online betting experience, then we highly recommend that you take a closer look at Betiton.
If you decide to take our advice on board and sign up with Betiton, then the welcome offer that is available is one where you need to deposit €10 or more, place a €15 bet with minimum odds of 2.00, and then you will receive a €10 free bet. Yes, we know that this is not the biggest Welcome Bonus that is on offer out there, but €10 to spend on any World Cup betting market is pretty nice. As usual, there will be certain T&Cs that apply, so make sure you check those out thoroughly before you go ahead and claim the bonus.
Betiton know that it is important to keep existing players happy too, which is why they have another promo running that existing customers can make use of. This promotion is a popular one, so we are sure that it is still going to be on offer come November.
Boostiton Offer: It is always great to win a football bet that you have placed, but it is always better to win more money than was originally on offer, and this is exactly what this promotion gives you the chance of doing. If you place a four-fold world cup accumulator and it goes on to win, you will receive a 4% boost on your winnings, while if you make a 15-fold accy and you are lucky enough to get all your selections correct, then you will receive a boost of up to 77%.
Betiton are fully aware that their punters like to place in-play bets on popular sports such as football, so they will definitely make sure that they have a very adequate World Cup in-play betting platform for those of you who want to make live wagers on this prestigious international competition. When you are in-play betting it is always important to have a variety of markets to choose from to ensure that things do not become tedious, and you can find more than enough in-play football betting markets at Betiton. Odds are obviously important too because if the odds are rubbish then there is no point in betting. You will have no such issues at Betiton as they always make sure that they offer competitive odds for the markets that they have available.

They know that a sportsbook with a poor live betting section is one that will struggle, so they have made sure that they have a quality live gambling section that their punters can make use of. When you are betting on the football World Cup 2022, you will find a wide range of markets to ensure things remain nice and fresh, while the FIFA World Cup betting odds on offer are as good as you will find elsewhere.
Nowadays, you will find it hard to come across a bookie that does not offer a cash out feature, and Betiton is no exception to this. If you have a World Cup bet that is winning but you think that it is going to end up being a losing one, then you can cut your losses and cash out the wager to ensure that you at least end up with some type of profit. Making a little profit is obviously much better than losing all of your stake.
When it comes to live streaming, we are a bit disappointed to tell you that Betiton does not have a live streaming service available. There is a chance that they will add one in the future, but we doubt that they will have one in time for the 2022 World Cup. Even if this is the case, all of the other features that they have will ensure that you still have a really good World Cup betting Qatar experience.
7️⃣ Unibet

Unibet has been in existence since 1997, and they seem to go from strength to strength with each passing year. At the time of writing, they have millions of players from across the globe, and they have a big Irish following that is increasing in size. This is a quality online bookie that can provide you with the World Cup betting experience that you are looking for.

If you sign up with Unibet, then you can place your first bet, and if it goes on to be a losing one, they will give you your stake back in the form of a free bet up to the value of €40. This is great because what they are basically doing is giving you a risk-free first bet. If you win your first bet, you make a nice profit. If you lose your first bet, then you will be given a chance to redeem yourself.
Now, since they have been around for more than two decades, it will not come as much of a surprise to find out that they know the value of making sure that all of their existing players are kept happy too. We are now going to take a look at some football promotions that are currently on offer and there is a very good chance that you will see the same ones or similar ones available when the 2022 World Cup rolls around.
Odds Boosts Every single day, Unibet will select markets from their different sporting events and will increase their odds, giving you the chance to win some extra money. We expect them to do the same when the World Cup is on to attract more punters to place World Cup wagers with them. For instance, they might boost a player's odds of scoring in a particular match. In order to check out the different odds that are boosted, all you have to do is sign into your account, and they should be on the homepage.

Well, just like with other top bookies such as Betway, they are well-known in the sports betting world for having a really good live football betting platform, and this is because they have a wide variety of markets on offer whenever there is a top football league or competition being played. Odds are also very important, and Unibet will not let you down in this regard either as they have very competitive odds available when it comes to football and all the other popular sports.
It is always a good move to sign up with a world cup betting site that offers frequent cash outs for the bets that you place, and Unibet will never let you down in this respect.

✔️ 2022 World Cup Betting Tips

As we’ve already touched on, the 2022 World Cup will take place in Qatar, with this representing the second consecutive controversial selection as host after Russia was chosen in 2018.
As a result, the tournament will make history as the first to be held in the Middle East, with the lavish opening ceremony and opening match (which is likely to include the hosts) scheduled to take place on November 21st.
The final will take place five weeks later on December 28th, following a slightly shorter tournament that allows for the unexpected rescheduling of the competition due to the sweltering Qatari heat in the months of June and July.
Interestingly, this iteration of the World Cup will be hosted by a country that has never contested a final match before, with this representing a genuine first in the competition’s history. Also, defending champions France will participate in qualifying as normal, so they’ll have to progress from their group if they’re to have a tilt at properly defending their hard-earned title.
📌 The Key World Cup Betting Markets
While some aspects of the 2022 World Cup may be a little different or unusual, many of the key and most popular betting markets will remain unchanged. Here are a few to keep your eyes on:
📌 The Outright Winner
Let’s start with the obvious, as you can already wager on the outright winner of the FIFA World Cup Betting tournament across a broad range of sportsbooks.
We’ve featured some selected odds a little later in our guide, but the current favourites include France, Brazil, England and Spain.
Lionel Messi’s Argentina can also be backed at quite competitive odds at present, even after their recent Copa America success, so this may be an option to keep in mind if you fancy a potentially lucrative ante-post bet.
📌 The Top Scorer
Next up is a genuinely fascinating market and one that regularly sees unfancied winners at odds in excess of 10/1.
Russia’s Oleg Salenko was the top scorer in 1994, for example, despite only playing three games as his side was eliminated from the group stage. This is thanks to a stunning individual performance against Cameroon, when the seasoned striker plundered five goals in a 6-1 win.
Already, you can see world-class forwards like Neymar and Antoine Griezmann can be backed at around 12/1 to win the tournament’s golden boot, while the evergreen Cristiano Ronaldo boasts quite lengthy odds of 16/1.
As a general rule, we’d recommend selecting players who represent the very best sides, as they’ll typically go deeper into the tournament and afford more playing time to their strikers.
📌 The Match Result
The classic match result wager is a true staple of the sports betting market, and one that can prove to be quite lucrative in tournaments such as the World Cup.
The reason for this is simple; as there are often several mismatches during the group stages of the World Cup, which see favourites pitted against minnows from potentially disparate parts of the world.
The key is to identify matches with clear favourites and leverage handicap bets to create superior value. For example, if a fancied nation is odds-on to beat an opponent, you could consider introducing a handicap of – 1.5 or – 2.5 that compels the former to win by two or three clear goals for your wager to come in.
In some instances, this will enable you to lengthen your odds and increase the potential returns without overly compromising your chances of winning.
When wagering on the 2022 World Cup, it’s important to compare our licensed sportsbooks in detail to see precisely what traditional and in-play betting markets that they offer access to.
Similarly, keep in mind that some betting markets won’t become available until closer to the tournament. For example, you won’t be able to bet on group winners or qualifiers until April 2022 at the earliest, when the tournament draw is made in full.

⚽ The World Cup Betting Qualifiers
With the qualifiers yet to be completed for the 2022 World Cup, there’s also a range of additional betting markets available to punters in the coming months.
Remember, the only team to earn an automatic spot in this year’s competition is Qatar, with the remaining 32 teams having to go through their confederation’s various qualifying systems. We’ve outlined these in a little more detail below:
🔴 UEFA
European teams currently have 13 spots allocated, the most of any continent. All 55 UEFA nations commenced qualification in March 2021, and are divided into groups of either five or six sides. The 10 first placed finishers will qualify automatically for the World Cup, with the 10 runners-up competing for three further spots along with the best two UEFA Nations League group winners. There will be single-legged semi-finals and finals, which will be completed prior to the tournament draw in April.🟠 CAF
African sides have been allocated five spots for the 2022 World Cup, with qualification commencing in September and split into three rounds. By the third and final round, the 10 remaining sides will play home and away, with the winners of each two-legged tie qualifying for the 2022 World Cup proper.🟡 AFC
While it may sound a little strange, 4.5 Asian sides have been allocated a place in the World Cup. The competing teams commenced the first two qualifying stages in June 2019, at which point 12 sides remained in contention. They will then be split into two groups of six, with the top two from each earning a qualifying place in the tournament. The two third-place teams will then compete in an inter-confederation play-off match, where the best losers from across the globe do battle for any remaining places.🟢 CONCACAF
Under the same circumstances referenced above, North, Central American and Caribbean teams are afforded 3.5 spots in the tournament. There are three rounds to qualification here, with the first two reducing the number of competitors from 35 to just three. These sides then join the top five teams in an eight-team group, each of whom plays home and away to determine the three qualifiers. The fourth-place side will head into the inter-confederation play-offs.🔵 OFC
Oceanic sides are only given 0.5 places for the 2022 World Cup, which means that the confederation may not be represented in the tournament. Here, 11 sides will be split into two groups, with the eventual winner of a subsequent round-robin taking their place in the aforementioned inter-confederation play-offs.🟣 Conmebol
South American qualifying commenced in October 2020, while the confederation is also home to the straightforward process in the tournament. Put simply, the 10 CONMEBOL teams meet home and away, with the top four sides progressing to the World Cup in Qatar. Interestingly, the fifth-place side takes the last remaining place in the inter-confederation play-offs.
📊 The World Cup Groups and Fixtures
Before you even consider engaging in FIFA 2022 World Cup betting, it’s imperative that you understand the full tournament structure.
Prior to the final placings being determined through the inter-confederation play-offs in June 2022, April will see the qualified teams drawn into eight groups of four (with provisions made for the sides in contention for the final places).
These sides will then play each other once, with three points awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a defeat.
Once the groups games are completed, the points are tallied with the top two sides progressing to the round of 16. In the event of two or more sides being tied on the same number of points, the following criteria is used to determine qualification:
- Goal difference
- Goals scored
- Points from group stage matches involving the tied teams
- Goal differential in group stage matches involving the tied teams
- Goals scored in group stage matches involving the tied teams
The round of 16 draw is fixed and seeded, with this the first of four knockout ties. Each of these are single-legged affairs, with extra-time and penalties used if the scores are level at the end of 90 minutes.

📰 Latest FIFA World Cup News
Tweets by FIFAWorldCup🏁 A Brief History of the World Cup
The FIFA World Cup has a rich history, and one that can be traced back to 1930, when Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2 in Montevideo to lift the inaugural Jules Rimet trophy.
The trophy has since been contested on 20 different occasions, with the tournament held every four years apart from during and just after the Second World War in 1942 and 1946.
The number of competing teams has increased incrementally through the years too, with just 13 sides appearing in the 1930 iteration. This increased to 16 in 1954, before rising again to a 24-team format in Spain, 1982. Then, the 1998 World Cup in France was expanded to include 32 sides, mirroring the tournament format that will be in place in Qatar.
Interestingly, the tournament will be expanded once again to 48 teams in 2026, creating a bumper World Cup with an even more convoluted format.
In terms of winners, Brazil is the most successful side with five World Cup wins (in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002). Next up are Germany and Italy with four wins, while the former has also appeared in a record eight finals, finishing runners-up on four occasions. We’ve listed the five most recent winners below.
Germany striker Miroslav Klose is also the tournament’s record scorer, having plundered 16 goals between 2002 and 2014. Brazil’s Ronaldo is next with 15 tournament goals (in just three tournaments), while the prolific Gerd Muller scored 14 World Cup goals across the 1970 and 1974 iterations.
Year | Winner | Final Result |
---|---|---|
2002 | Brazil | Beat Germany 2-0 |
2006 | Italy | Beat France 5-3 on pens (1-1 AET) |
2010 | Spain | Beat Netherlands 1-0 (AET) |
2014 | Germany | Beat Argentina 1-0 (AET) |
2018 | France | Beat Croatia 4-2 |
❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Fifa World Cup Betting
Who are the Favourites to Win the 2022 World Cup?
In the current ante-post market, defending champions France (5/1) are the betting favourites to win in Qatar and earn their third World Cup success. Brazil (11/2) and Euro 2020 runners-up England (15/2) are also highly-fancied, while Spain are priced at 8/1.
When Should I Back an Outright Winner?
While you may want to place your ante-post wager early to capitalise on extended odds, there’s no guarantee that any of the current favourites will qualify for the tournament. However, we’d recommend betting just as soon as your preferred pick has confirmed their place in Qatar, so that you can strike the ideal balance between probability and value.
Can I Bet on WC Qualifying?
Yes, you can! While the first three rounds of qualifying fixtures were completed in March and prior to the Euros, you can still wager on individual matches and who you expect to qualify from a particular group. This can also be an opportunity for accumulator betting, where you select five or six sides to win during a particular round!
