2022 FIFA World Cup - Group F - Betting Preview

Who will win Group F in the 2022 World Cup?

Group F will feature a battle between Belgium and 2018 finalists Croatia, who will go head-to-head alongside Morocco and Canada.

Belgium's 'Golden Generation' have been consistently near or at the top of the FIFA rankings in recent years but have not been able to translate that into success or titles and will be hopeful that players like Kevin de Bruyne can lead them to a deep run here. Croatia are in a period of transition with the international retirement of several of their stars from their 2018 run to the final but will hope to produce another impressive run here. Morocco and Canada will be the rank outsiders looking to produce a big shock and grab a knockout round place.

In our sixth group preview, we look at the latest betting odds for Group F in Qatar!

WHAT ARE THE WORLD CUP BETTING ODDS ON BELGIUM IN GROUP F?

The Red Devils will be taking part in their fourteenth World Cup here and will be looking to build on their third-placed finish four years ago. That was their best-ever finish in a World Cup, but the team was arguably in a better state last time out with the likes of Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku in better form. However, with Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Man City's playmaker Kevin de Bruyne still making up the spine of the team, they will be confident of another strong run.

In this group, they are the opening favourites for qualifying (and topping the group) available with an opening spread of 17 - 18.5 on the binary 25-10-5-0 market. This means that the market settles at 25 if they come top, 10 if they finish second, 5 if they finish third, and 0 if they finish bottom. On the fixed odds, they are available at 5/4 to win the group, 1/6 to qualify, and 9/2 not to qualify. In terms of the spread price on them becoming outright champions, their Tournament Winner odds on the spreads stands at 21 - 24. On the fixed odds they are available at 14/1. 

Belgium netted an impressive tally of sixteen goals in the 2018 competition, and on the Highest Team Scoring Index market they are available here at 8.5 - 11.5. In this market, the top scoring nation will have a market settlement of 100, with the second-highest settling at 50 and third-highest at 25.

WHAT ARE THE WORLD CUP BETTING ODDS ON CROATIA IN GROUP F?

The Croats have punched above their weight at previous World Cups - notably being runners-up last time out and third-place on their debut in 1998, but also exited at the group stages thrice in succession in 2002, 2006 and 2014. They will now look to ensure they don't fall to another early exit but will fancy their chances to at least grab second place in the group ahead of the Moroccans and Canadians.

In terms of the betting odds ahead of their group campaign here, Croatia are available with an opening spread of 10.5 - 12 on the Group F index, and on the fixed odds at 9/4 to win the group, and 8/15 to qualify or 7/5 not to qualify. In terms of our Team Group Points Won market, Croatia's spread stands at 4.45 - 4.75. Would you buy or sell?

In terms of goals, Croatia netted seven goals in their three group matches in 2018. Can they replicate that here? Their Team Group Goals Scored spread is 4.05 - 4.25.

WHAT ARE THE WORLD CUP BETTING ODDS ON MOROCCO IN GROUP F?

The African representation in the group will come in the form of Morocco, who will be taking part in their sixth World Cup and would surely be happy with matching their best result of a round-of-16 place, which they reached way back in 1986. They have generally struggled to score many goals at their appearances and netted only twice last time out in 2018. Their Tournament Goals spread is available at 2.85 - 3.05.

However, they have some talented players in their squad this time including Hakim Ziyech and Achraf Hakimi, so will fancy their chances of fighting for at least second place in the group. Morocco come into the tournament with a Group F index spread of 5.5 - 7, slightly ahead of Canada as third-favourites, and on the fixed odds at 15/2 to top the group, and 2/1 to qualify and 4/11 to not qualify. 

On our team group markets, the Japanese are available on the Team Group Points Won market at 2.9 - 3.1. Would you buy or sell?

WHAT ARE THE WORLD CUP BETTING ODDS ON CANADA IN GROUP F?

And finally, group F's outsiders will be the CONCACAF representatives Canada, who will be competing in the World Cup for the first time since 1986 - in what will be just their second appearance. Much of the reason for the Canadians' return to the big stage can be attributed to talented youngsters Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, and they will be hopeful that they can inspire them to have a chance of progression from the group.

They will surely be confident of doing better than their sole appearance back in 1986 though, as they ended as the worst team with three defeats from three, no goals scored and five conceded! They are available on the fixed odds at 14/1 to be the lowest scoring team in the competition here.

In terms of the betting odds, Canada are available with a Group Index spread of 4.5 - 6, and on the fixed odds at 10/1 to win Group F, 9/4 to qualify and 1/3 not to qualify.  Can the Canadians be  a surprise package here?
