Who Will Reach The World Cup Final? What The Bookies Are Saying

To qualify for the World Cup final odds

“No more need for dreaming” is what millions of England fans will be hoping to sing come December 18, and what a Christmas present it would be if the Three Lions lifted the infamous World Cup trophy for only the second time.

The bookmakers have got Gareth Southgate’s men priced at around 15/2 to win the trophy, but they’re just one of a host of nations that could be considered serious contenders based upon the squads they possess.

It’s set to be one of the most competitive World Cup tournaments for many years, with it glittered with superstars and players that could turn a game in a matter of moments. Which makes the To Reach The Final betting market a very interesting one indeed.

If you’re looking to back some outright markets alongside the typical Correct Score, BTTS and many others that people love week-in week-out, then why not have a look at the To Reach The Final odds right here…

 

Odds to Reach the World Cup Final

  • Brazil – 5/2
  • France – 11/4
  • Argentina – 4/1
  • Spain – 4/1
  • England – 4/1
  • Germany – 5/1
  • Portugal – 13/2
  • Netherlands – 13/2
  • Belgium – 8/1
  • Denmark – 12/1
  • Croatia – 20/1
  • Uruguay – 22/1
  • Switzerland – 40/1
  • Mexico – 50/1
  • Serbia – 50/1
  • Senegal – 50/1
  • USA – 50/1

 

Brazil – 5/2

There were definitely a few heads turned when Brazil announced their squad for the tournament and the plethora of attacking talent within the ranks. So much so that Roberto Firmino was left out!

The South American nation are favourites to win the tournament and the most likely to reach the final with Paddy Power pricing them at 4/1, significantly ahead of any other nation. They have strength from goalkeeper through to attack and if Tite can get them fired up, they could prove unstoppable.

 

France – 11/4

Many will be keeping an eye on France this winter. The World Champions aren’t the team they were four years ago, and they will be without Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante, who are both missing through injury. 

That said, there’s still plenty of class in the team, so it’s no wonder to see the bookmakers placing them second favourites to make the final at 11/4 (Paddy Power). 

Should that be the final two, priced at 14/1 with Paddy Power, we could be in for a real treat!

 

Argentina – 3/1

A number of pundits are claiming Argentina could be the ones to watch this summer and it’s difficult to disagree. They have a clear passage through the Group Stage as part of Group C, and if they avoid France in the Round of 16, which they’d be expected to do, could have a nice passage through to the Semi Finals.

bet365 are pricing them at 3/1 to make it to the Final, and if they did we’d back Lionel Messi to get the medal he’s always been craving.

 

England – 4/1

England aren’t far behind Argentina with the oddsmakers, with bet365 pricing Southgate’s men at 4/1 to make the Final. They’d have to beat some good teams to get there, but with the likes of Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Raheem Sterling they have some real talent.

The Quarter Final stages could prove difficult for England, but get through that and they have every chance of making it a second major tournament final in a row.

 

Spain – 4/1

The Spanish are also available to back at 4/1 and they face a tough task from their opening set of fixtures with Germany among their early Group Stage opposition. Spain have some sharp, young talent and it will be interesting to see how Luis Enrique sets them up during the tournament.

They’re just ahead of their Group E opponents, Germany who are priced at 9/2 to reach the final as Hansi Flick goes into his first major tournament with the nation. 

Other contenders include the Dutch, priced at 11/2 to reach the final with bet365, as well as Portugal (6/1) and Belgium, who can be backed at 7/1.
