Group G Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar
World Cup Qatar 2022 Group G is one of the most complex groups to predict. Despite having one of the favorite teams, the second place is still uncertain due to the similar status of the teams: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.
On paper, it seems like Brazil and Switzerland will advance to the Round of 16 unless something extraordinary happens. Serbia moving forward to the next stage could be one of the variables, but the other teams’ stars might steal the opportunity from them. Cameroon, meanwhile, is the least likely to advance to the next stage. What is important in all of this is that in the World Cup, everything starts over and there are always surprises.
Brazil
- FIFA Ranking Position: 1
- How did they get to the World Cup?: 1st position in the CONMEBOL Qualifiers.
- Previous World Cup participations: 22
- Odds to win the group: -304
- Odds to qualify for the round of 16: -1667
Brazil is perhaps one of the strongest candidates not only to qualify in this World Group G, but also to win the Qatar 2022 World Cup trophy. Tite’s team qualified for this cup as the leader of the South American Qualifiers with 45 points, thanks to an unblemished record of 14 wins and 3 draws. During the Copa América, which they hosted last year, the Cariocas managed to reach the final, where they lost to Argentina 1-0.
The squad for the Verdeamarelos is so large that their coach left out great talents from it, like Roberto Firmino and Coutinho. However, it also includes young and promising stars such as Rodrygo and Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr.
The undisputed leader is Neymar Jr. one of the best players in the world and one of the jewels of PSG. The five-time champion is aiming for a sixth title and will do everything possible to achieve it, beginning with the group stage.
Serbia
- FIFA Ranking Position: 21
- How did they get to the World Cup?: 1st place in Group A [UEFA Qualifiers]
- Previous World Cup participations: 13
- Odds to win the group: +600
- Odds to qualify for the round of 16: +120
Serbia and its World Group G opponent, Brazil, both qualified undefeated. Dragan Stojkovic’s team earned 20 points from six wins and two draws in the UEFA playoffs. Along the way, they faced Portugal, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Azerbaijan, which they overcame with courage and determination.
The main figure of this team is Dušan Vlahović, a 22-year-old striker who plays for Juventus. This team is used to having possession of the ball, and its roster includes a mix of young and experienced players like Dusan Tadi, Milinkovic Milinkovi-Savi, and Filip Kosti.
With Serbia having pulled off a major upset in the qualifiers, it is highly likely that they will go head-to-head with the big teams, especially in the battle for second place in Group G of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Switzerland
- FIFA Ranking Position: 15
- How did they get to the World Cup?: 1st place in Group C [UEFA Qualifiers]
- Previous World Cup participations: 11
- Odds to win the group: +550
- Odds to qualify for the round of 16: -112
Out of all the teams in Group G of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Switzerland is the second favorite to advance to the round of 16. Murat Yakin’s team finished first in their UEFA qualifying group after playing against Israel, Romania, Belarus, Andorra, Belarus and Kosovo. In total, the red-and-white team had 5 wins and 3 draws, so this is another member of the group arriving in Qatar with a recent unbeaten record.
This European team has a number of outstanding players, but the spotlight is on Xherdan Shaqiri, a midfielder who plays for MLS side Chicago Fire in the United States, who has 26 goals and 28 assists in his nearly 100 appearances for the national team.
The Swiss participation in the World Group G can be a real threat to their rivals considering their high level at present. In the history of the World Cups, their best performance dates back to 1954, when they finished fourth.
Cameroon
- FIFA Ranking Position: 43
- How did they get to the World Cup?: 1st place in Group D [CAF Qualifiers] (defeated Algeria in the third round with a 2-2 score, advancing thanks to the away goal).
- Previous World Cup participations: 7
- Odds to win the group: +1600
- Odds to qualify for the round of 16: +450
Cameroon has performed well in its recent matches. The team coached by Rigobert Song finished first in the CAF qualifiers, beating the Ivory Coast, Mozambique and Malawi teams. In the Africa Cup of Nations, they were eliminated in the semi-final by Egypt on penalties.
The Africans arrive in Group G of the Qatar 2022 World Cup led by Eric Choupo-Moting, a Bayern Munich striker who has demonstrated his high-quality skills and commitment in Cameroon’s two previous World Cup appearances.
Historically, Cameroon has only made it to the World Cup quarterfinals. Even if they are the underdogs, the Greens will try to break the record and advance to the next stage with enthusiasm against one of the so-called death groups.
JefeBet Prediction
Based on its previous performance, Brazil is very likely to take first place. Its world-class stars and flawless qualifying campaign make it a heavy favorite to win it all. Secondly, we believe it will be Switzerland who will advance to the next round. Despite the fact that all teams had an outstanding qualifying stage, the rosters of Brazil and Switzerland are much stronger.
Based on recent history in similar tournaments, it’s possible that Cameroon or Serbia have a chance to advance. Fortunately, this is soccer, and anything can happen.
Group winner: Brazil
Runner-up: Switzerland
