World Cup 2022 Group Stage Betting | Full Guide

WC 2022 - Group B

England is the odds-on favorite to top Group B. As a result, Iran, the USA, and Wales all get enticing World Cup odds that you can benefit from. Both the USA and Wales can mount a serious challenge. So, they are great value bets and the perfect betting World Cup group stage candidates to back.

WC 2022 - Group C

The Argentinians are the bookies' first choice to win and qualify from Group C. Therefore, the reigning Copa America champions are the best pick when betting on Group C. As the World Cup group stage odds show, Mexico and Poland have pretty much similar chances of winning and qualifying for the knock-out round. Saudi Arabia's chances of making it past the group stage look slim to none.

WC 2022 - Group D

France will fancy their chances of winning Group D, but doing that won't be an easy feat, and the World Cup group stage betting odds reflect that. That's because both the Danes and Australians can pose a challenge, especially the former, while Tunisia comes in with an outside chance of qualifying from Group D.

WC 2022 - Group E

Group E features two former WC winners and opens tons of World Cup group stage betting opportunities. The Spaniards and Germans will fight hard to win the group, but third favourites, Japan, and even Costa Rica will wait for one of the giants to slip and use that chance to qualify from Group E.

WC 2022 - Group F

Belgium and Croatia will fight it out for the top spot in Group F. And in all likelihood, the two World Cup group stage betting favourites won't face much competition from Canada and Morocco. The Canadians and Moroccans will hope to spring a WC 2022 group betting surprise, but they will face an uphill battle.

WC 2022 - Group G

Brazil will hope to take Group G with ease, but a group containing Serbia, Cameroon, and the Swiss is anything but easy. That being said, the team from South America has the lowest sports betting World Cup group stage odds of the four nations, and it would be a huge surprise if Brazil didn't win or at least qualify from Group G.

WC 2022 - Group H

Group H is arguably the toughest one to predict. The biggest threat here is of course Portugal, but Ghana, Uruguay, and South Korea will all have something to say when it comes to those first two Group H spots.

Top 10 World Cup 2022 Matches to Bet On from the Group Stage

Can't wait for World Cup group stage betting to start? You are not alone. Here's a list of ten games that we are super-excited about. All of these matches bring something different to the table. However, they all have one thing in common - they give you tons of ways to make the most of WC 2022 groups betting.

Qatar vs Ecuador

The opener of the first World Cup in history which is played in winter is the one where the host nation Qatar plays against Ecuador. The match may not be special, and the hosts will probably end up losing it, but the occasion will be monumental.

Germany vs Japan

The Germans have parted ways with their long-time coach Joachim Low. However, Hansi Flick comes super-motivated to show everyone how good this German team can be. Can the Japanese stop the Germans in this Group E match-up?

Brazil vs Serbia

The Brazilians are the odds-on favorite to win the group. However, Serbia will have something to say about that. Don't be surprised if Dragan Stojkovic and his men throw a spanner in the works for the Brazilians and defy sportsbook odds by nicking a draw.

England vs USA

England's first of two tricky fixtures (the other one is against Wales). If all goes according to plan, the Three Lions should take the three points. Don't forget, though, that the US surprised the world when they drew 1-1 with England at the 2010 WC.

France vs Denmark

A European derby that will bring a lot of end-to-end action and, hopefully, tons of goals too. Mbappe and co will have to work hard though; that Danish defence won't give up easily.

Argentina vs Mexico

Two sides that play with similar intensity and tenacity. Should be a fascinating battle. The match may not abound in goals, but it will definitely have a lot of heart. Those of you with a penchant for wagering on cards should mark in red this World Cup group stage betting extravaganza.

Spain vs Germany

The biggest game of the group stages and a perfect opportunity for goal betting. WC group stage games don't come any bigger than this, and the players should rise to the task. Of course, that often means lots of goals.

Poland vs Argentina

Leo Messi may guide La Albiceleste to glory at World Cup 2022, but the Poles have a world-class star themselves. Robert Lewandowski took his nation to Qatar, so don't be surprised if he wants to show everyone what he can do in this massive game for the Poles.

Crotia vs Belgium

It is never a boring game when players like Luka Modric and Kevin De Bruyne light up the pitch with their magic. This should be a brilliant match with end-to-end action and betting World Cup group stage opportunities galore.

Serbia vs Switzerland

This game will probably decide which of these two sides will progress from Group G. The match might not be pretty, but it will be pretty important and WC 2022 group betting enthusiasts will love it.

WC 2022 Group Stage Predictions & Recommended Bets

If you are looking for value in sports betting, World Cup group stage games will be right up your alley. That goes double if you go with our World Cup group stage betting predictions and recommended bets.

One such value bet is backing Belgium to win Group F. The Belgians are guided by the talented Roberto Martinez and have world-class players like Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku in their ranks. They will likely top their group because their rivals for the top spot, Croatia, no longer have a team where all the players are in their prime. Instead, their top stars are either on the wrong side of 30 or have just made their international debuts.

Another chance to benefit from enticing World Cup group stage odds is to go for some Danish Dynamite and back the country to qualify from Group D. Bookmakers have given the Danes quite good odds to qualify. We think that those odds represent some excellent value.

Why? Well, let's say the French win the group. It's then up to the Australians, Tunisians, and Danes to fight for that second spot. And in our books, the Danes are miles ahead of their Australian and Tunisian rivals, both in terms of squad quality and international experience. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if the Nordic country goes on to win the group. If that happens, you will get relatively massive World Cup group stage odds.
