Opinion of respected tipsters on fifa world cup predictions

⭐Nemanja Lalic:

Every four years, football fans around the globe gather to watch the most widely sporting event, World Cup. This year, we need to wait a little later, but excitement is rising every day closer to November. For those 28 days, Qatar will be the center of the planet. For me, the main candidate for the title is the champions from the previous World Cup, France. On the other hand, England could disappoint their fans as they potentially have a tough Senegal as opponents in the 1/8 final phase. Personally, I expect from World Cup to bring us joy and the feeling that football unites us all. Also, World Cup in Qatar will be a perfect opportunity for the world to understand more Middle Eastern culture.

⭐Gunjan:

Qatar awaits the first ever Winter FIFA World Cup, rather than the usual summer fiesta. New heroes will be crowned, some legends will play their last ever international tournament. Nevertheless, a competition of this stature amidst the footballing season is something to really look forward to. A non-footballing country, unexpected weather conditions - all marks a perfect setting for some really surprising winners and runners-up. Will France retain the trophy? Will England finally bring something home? Or will Qatar stun the world by coming up clutch. Want to be a champion yourself?

⭐Ryan Allan:

The 2022 Qatar World Cup kicks off in just over three months, and with anticipation building over this Winter´s event, we´ve picked our winner and which nation we expect to disappoint their fans come December.

Tournament Winner

Argentina - The Argentines have been in tremendous form over the past three years, and they remain unbeaten in their last thirty-three international matches since 2019.

With this surely the final opportunity for Lionel Messi to match the great feat of Argentina´s greatest ever player, Diego Maradona, Lionel Scaloni´s side looks well-placed for a strong run to the latter stages, especially considering their outstanding form over the past three years.

Biggest Dissapointment

France - Despite a galaxy of star players and a remarkable wealth of depth in their squad, France could struggle to retain their trophy with Didier Deschamp's side struggling for real form in the past two years.

Indeed, the French have won only 7 of their last 16 matches and, despite serious attacking fire-power, have managed just 3 goals in their last 4 competitive fixtures.

While early-pre tournament favourites, we expect the French to make a poor defence of their title won in Russia in 2018.

Previous World Cup: How was it?

The last edition of the World Cup took place in 2018 and the host country was Russia. Due to its continental dimensions, many national teams ended up having to travel long distances to play matches in both group and knockout stages.

The competition took place between the 14th of June and the 15th of July and was played in a total of 12 stadiums.

Main stats:

  • Belgium had the best attack in the competition
  • The top scorer of this edition was Harry Kane, from England
  • Luka Modric was chosen as the best player in the competition

What to expect in the World Cup 2022?

what to expect in the world cup 2022

This Qatar World Cup received a lot of criticism, mainly for taking place at a different time of the year and forcing national championships around the world to take a break.

Even so, many believe that this edition will exceed fans' expectations. The stadiums will be extremely modern and well equipped, providing great venues for the games.

In addition, there are big chances of this edition offering games of the highest level and many possible surprises. In the group stage, we will have heavy-weight clashes between Spain and Germany that gather-up all elements that we’ll witness a great game. In addition, we can have the South American “Superclasico” between Brazil and Argentina during the final stages of the competition, which would be an absolute blockbuster game in every possible aspect.

World cup qualifiers predictions: clustering, scores, and more!

The World Cup qualifiers kick off a few years before the tournament starts. Virtually every country from every continent that can form a football team with starters and enough players on the bench can feature in. In this case, the qualifiers began back in 2019, and we’ve seen great opportunities for world cup qualifiers predictions and bets.

Some continents have an all-in-one qualifiers scheme, as in South America, others have their national teams split into a few groups, where the first-placed of each group book their spot to the actual WC. This qualifier dynamic is quite common in Europe.
