Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals: Team Odds to Make it to the Semis

Just like in the stock market and the financial industry, past performance is never a guarantee of future results, although in recent years, football history has had a strong tendency to repeat itself. Which teams can we expect to see in this year’s Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals?

According to the bookmakers and as of the time of this writing, the top 4 favorites nations to make it to the Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals are: Brazil, England, France, and Argentina. Again, these are paper favorites and a lot can change (and usually does) between now and December 13-14.

Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals: Potential Matchups

Looking at the respective group structure and favorites within each group to make it all the way through to the Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals, here is the list of nations most likely to be playing for a spot in the Final Four. In the first Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals (played on December 13), we would fine either the winners of Group A or C and the winners of Group E or G (Netherlands, Argentina, Spain, and Brazil). If we follow the seedings only, Argentina would play the Netherlands in the quarter-finals and Brazil would play Spain. If Argentina beat the Netherlands and Brazil defeat Spain, we would have a dream matchup of Brazil vs Argentina in the first Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals.

In the second Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals (played on December 14), the most likely survivors (on paper) would be coming out of Group B or D and play the winners of Group F or H. The teams most likely to emerge from within these groups are England, France, Belgium, or Portugal. Then (on paper again), England would play France n the quarter-final stage while Belgium would be playing Portugal. This could line up a mouthwatering game between France and Belgium, respectively ranked #4 and #2 in the FIFA World Rankings, but with France winning two World Cup in the last 24 years (including the one in Russian in 2018) and Belgium none.

Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals Underdogs

The paper predictions are often disturbed by the reality on the field: last minute surprises or shockers, injuries affecting key players, bad form and disappointing outings, etc. There is a long list of reasons as to why some nations may underperform on their way to the Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals. There is also a long list of reasons as to why other nations may outperform and awaken the “underdog within.”

2022 FIFA World Cup Futures: Odds to Win the World Cup

At the time of this writing, the future odds to win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar look as follows. Of course, each team will first have to battle through the Qatar World Cup Semi-Finals before playing the Finals, but here are the 10 nations most likely to win the World Cup according to bookmakers:

#1 Brazil +450

#2 England +500

#3 France +550

#4 Argentina +750

#5 Spain +800

#6 Germany +1100

#7 Belgium +1200

#8 Portugal +1200

#9 Netherlands +1200

#10 Denmark +2500

Clearly, the odds to win the tournament drop dramatically at spot #6 (Germany), so we could consider those nations ranked #6 to #10 as “underdogs” when it comes to winning it all.

Now, if we want to identify even further long shots, we’ll need to go beyond the Top 10 nations above and discover some juicy odds if you can stomach the risk that comes with betting on them. Starting at #11 and below, the odds stand at +5000 or lower:

#11 Uruguay +5000

#12 Croatia +5000

#13 Switzerland +8000

#14 Senegal +8000

#15 United States +10000

#32 (and dead last) Saudi Arabia +75000

#31 Costa Rica +75000

#30 Iran +75000

#29 Tunisia +35000

#28 Qatar (the host country) +35000
