Germany and Brazil have won a combined nine World Cups between them. No wonder they’re co-favorites to win the 2018 World Cup as well! Let’s check the latest 2018 World Cup betting odds to dethrone Germany, definitely not an easy task, but as usual, there’s have to be favorites, dark horses, and long shots.
Belgium (12/1) is expected to beat out England (16/1), Panama and Tunisia in Group G, although England could very well win the group in my estimation.
Uruguay (25/1) and everyone’s favorite villain, Luis Suarez, is an even money pick to take Group A over Russia, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Last but not least, Colombia (28/1), the sweethearts of the 2014 World Cup are favored to win Group H over Poland, Senegal, and Japan. Here is a look at the complete 2018 World Cup Betting Odds.

Expert Analysis
The reigning champion Germans have been drawn alongside Mexico, Sweden, and Korea Republic in Group F while five-time Cup winning Brazil will face Switzerland in their Group E opener before matches against Costa Rica and Serbia. Both teams should win their respective groups with relative ease. Euro 2016 runners-up France (11/2) are also considered front-runners for World Cup glory and they’ll go up against Denmark, Peru and Australia in Group C where they should also advance without too much trouble. Spain (7/1) is next and they’re expected to win Group B which also features Portugal, Morocco, and Iran. Argentina is the favorite in Group D over Croatia, Nigeria, and Iceland. Lionel Messi and the Argentinians look like a super easy pick in their group after narrowly getting into the World Cup.
Belgium (12/1) is expected to beat out England (16/1), Panama and Tunisia in Group G, although England could very well win the group in my estimation.
