Belgium continues to be the backbone of what has been dubbed "gold" in several major tournaments, but their biggest success is the bronze medals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Back then, Roberto Martinez's men played superbly in the group with three straight wins by a combined score of 9-2, and then passed the Japanese and Brazilians in the playoffs, 3-2 and 2-1, respectively. Only in the semifinals, the Red Devils were defeated by the future champions France 1-0, but the Belgians won the bronze, as they defeated England 2-0. Now they are going to reach at least the semifinals and they need to win the group again for that. This option is estimated at 1.53 by Bet365.
The main rival of the Belgians is Croatia, which sensationally reached the final at the last World Cup in Russia where they lost to France in the bright and productive game (2-4). Since then, the Checkered Ones’ results began to deteriorate. They crashed the UEFA Nations League, played poorly in their group at Euro 2020 and crashed out against Spain in the round of 16, though in extra time, and only earned a direct ticket to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in the decisive game against Russia, thanks to an own goal by Fedor Kudryashov. It will be difficult for them to fight for the first place in the F quartet, but betting on the Croats scoring Total Over (4.5) points for 1.95 at 1xbet looks realistic.
This is only the second time in the 21st century that the Moroccan team has qualified for the World Cup. The first time was four years earlier, when the Lions played in Russia, but took last place, scoring only one point. Moreover, even at the African Cup of Nations level, the Red and Green cannot boastsolid results, as they have not got beyond the quarterfinals in the last nine tournaments. At the same time, Walid Regragui has a very strong squad for the 2022 World Cup, which includes a number of star players, especially in the attacking group. In such a situation we should take a closer look at Total Over (3.5) goals scored by the Moroccans for 2.63 at 1xbet.
The Canadian team is experiencing great times. It seemed that the Maple Leafs would never be able to compete at the level of major international tournaments, but in 2022 they will finally play in the World Cup. The first and last time the Red and White made it to the finals of the World Cup was back in 1986, when they lost all three games with a combined score of 0-5. Now they will take part in such a high-profile competition again, where, although they are the main underdog in the quartet, they obviously won't go down without a fight. You can bet on Total Over (2.5) points scored by the Canadians at odds of 1.80 as offered by 1xbet.
Teams to make play-offs
Group F is one of the most curious groups at the FIFA World Cup 2022. Suffice it to note that two winners of the last World Championship in Russia, the Croats and the Belgians, will play here. They will face competition from the Moroccans and Canadians, who do not play often in the World Cup, but they have managed to qualify for Qatar. Another thing is that it will be virtually impossible for Africans and North Americans to make a playoff appearance because Europeans are too strong. As a result, you should consider betting on Croatia and Belgium making it to the round of 16 at odds of 1.61 as offered by Bet365.
Expert Betting Tips
Group F is one of the most exciting and spectacular to see at the World Cup. The Croats and Belgians have accustomed us to bright and attacking soccer in all the recent major international tournaments. The Canadians and Moroccans have not played in public so often, but they have the most talented and skillful players in the attacking group which will be the main reason for their quartet's success. With this in mind, we should place a bet on Total Over (15.5) goals scored in Group F at odds of 1.95 at 1xbet.
The Belgian team had a flawles group stage in the Russian World Cup, collecting the maximum number of points. We have the right to expect something similar from the Red Devils now. They have problems with the squad, but they still look stronger than Croatians, Canadians and Moroccans, so it is worth betting on Belgium Total Over (6.5) points for 1.98 at Coinplay.
Besides, Roberto Martinez's squad always tries to play openly and efficiently, so the best option seems to be Belgium’s Total Over (5.5) Goals at the group stage for 1.90 at Betway.
