Who are the favourites to win the World Cup 2022?
Brazil head Paddy Power’s World Cup 2022 winner betting but the Selecao have not won the tournament since 2002 when the likes of Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Cafu were strutting their stuff.
South American rivals Argentina are next in the market thanks to their talented crop of attacking talent that is led by Lionel Messi, who could be set to play in his last World Cup.
The World Cup has not been successfully defended since 1962 so France will have to defy recent history if they are to retain the trophy but they are second in our early betting.
