Brazil and France have been priced as the joint-favourites to win the World Cup this year in Qatar with the draw just days away from happening. Both nations are priced at 11/2 with Betfred and the group stage draw is due to take place in the host's capital city of Doha on Friday (April 1).
At the time of the draw, we will have 28 confirmed nations of the 32 participants, with four places still to be decided including Wales' and Scotland's fate. Wales, who are 150/1 longshots, secured a 2-1 win over Austria in their play-off match. But Scotland's match with Ukraine being called off they will have to wait a little longer to decided who will take the final spot from a UEFA-nation.
England will be looking to make their mark on the world stage with the Three Lions priced at 7/1 as third favourites to win their first World Cup since 1966. Gareth Southgate's side had no issue during the qualification stage while European champions Italy - who beat England last year - suffered a shock defeat to North Macedonia who later bowed out thanks to a Bruno Fernandes brace for Portugal.
