It has been a few days now since the draw was made for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, which has given us plenty of time to reflect on each of the 32 teams taking part, and how they might do in the group stages.

There are still some teams that are going to have a tougher road to the final than others, so let’s take a look at the best and worst 2018 World Cup betting picks.
They do have a tough group that features Mexico and Sweden, but it’s a group that I still believe they will win.
