Predictions For The Group Stage Of The World Cup: Who Will Advance From The Group To The Playoffs

As it draws closer, the world of sports will focus on the coming 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament. The world cup draws have recently been completed, prompting bettors to now prognosticate on the best teams that are seen as favorites in being the world cup victor. The winner of the last held competition, the France national team, is a star-studded team with lots of experience, proving their superiority, and therefore clear favorites for this year's world cup. The Brazilian team, also referred to as the Samba Boys, is also tipped as another strong team, with lots of talents, superiority, and fans' favorites to be the stalwarts of this year's world cup event. The Belgian, English and Croatian teams are well-experienced as well and are in the contest to become world cup winners.

This year's world cup will be held in the rich Arab Peninsula of Qatar, and this year's world number one football festival will start with a ceremony on the 20th day of November and run through the 18th day of December 2022. 

Group A has the host team Qatar, Netherlands, Senegal, and Ecuador. The clear favorites for this group are the European top-tier side Netherlands and the reigning Africa Cup of Nations stalwarts Senegal. Qatar will give all they have in this group if they want to make it through the following stages of the tournament, likewise the Ecuadorians. Qatar and Ecuador are the foretold underdogs and most likely to leave Group A, as they are faced with superior prowess from favorite teams. 

Group B sees the likes of the USA, Iran, Wales, and England as the most favorite team to make it out of the group and is expected to do great things in the forthcoming world cup 2022. Aside from the Three Lions side, the remaining teams will have to slog it out to find out who will be the next team to move rounds, with the USA the likeliest of the three. This group sees the Iranian and the Welsh side not advancing into the next rounds. Still, surprises may spring up in this group.

The Group C of this year's FIFA World Cup has the likes of group favorite Argentina, captained by Messi, an endangered species as long as football is concerned, second favored Poland, Mexico, and group underdog Saudi Arabia. No magic ball needed to state that Argentina is the clear-favored side, with Mexico having to pass through Poland if they want to advance to the next phases of the tournament. These groups may see Mexico and Saudi Arabia exciting the group stages of the competition, as clearly, their team lacks the depth to outbattle the Argentine and the Polish sides. 

Group D has Australia, France, Tunisia, and Denmark, with the last FIFA World Cup victors, France tipped to advance to the next stages, and Denmark to follow suit as they've shown the world the capabilities they possess as a unit. Tunisia and Australia are clear underdogs and won't be moving to the next rounds of the tournament. Regardless, fans should be open to surprises.

Group E of the 2022 FIFA World Cup holds the likes of Spain, Japan, Germany, and Costa Rica. Former world cup stalwarts and European giants Spain and Germany are the fan's favorites to proceed to the following stages of the competition. Underdogs Costa Rica and Japan have a huge hill to climb and won't see it to the next round, as clearly they can't match the star-studded side that these giants will field.

Group F holds Belgium, Croatia, Canada, and Morocco. Belgium and Croatia are tipped to do great in this year's world cup, even to the extent of being seen as favorites to win the tournament. Canada and Morocco lack the experience and team depth to match what the Belgian and Croatian sides brought to the battle of football.

Group G has Brazil, Cameroon, Serbia, and Switzerland. The first seeded team to go through is the Brazilian side; this group will showcase stiff competition between the three remaining teams to produce the side-moving rounds. Switzerland and Cameroon are most likely not to make it to the next rounds of the world cup.

The final Group H sees the likes of Portugal, Ghana, the Korean Republic, and Uruguay. The clear favored side is the Cristiano Ronaldo-captained Portuguese national team, which parades many A-list players, and the Uruguayan side. Ghana and the Korean Republic won't match the quality that the Portugal and Uruguay sides bring to the table.
