Bet on the Main Favorites at the World Cup 2022 in Group Stage Derbies

The second round of the World Cup 2022 group stage begins midweek, and some of the best teams in the world are scheduled to play. You can bet on European and Latin American derbies or try to cash in on excellent odds offered to better teams in their quest to kick-start their campaign with a victory.

Serbia Seeks First Win Ever Over Brazil

Serbia and Brazil met on two occasions, and the South Americans won both games without conceding a goal. They are rightfully credited with the first chance and odds of 1/2 at bet365 sports when they meet on Thursday afternoon. Brazil is one of the favorites to lift the trophy, so the relatively low odds are fully justified, and only the boldest punters will take a leap of faith with Serbia at 6/1.

Denmark goes for 3rd Straight Win Over France.

France has an advantage in the head-to-head matches against Denmark but lost the last two direct encounters. They are hard-pressed to return to their winning ways now that Benzema is out injured, but they still have a slight advantage. You get even odds at bet365 sports if you bet on the reigning European and world champions, but 3/1 is exceptional value on a draw, and the same is offered on Denmark to win.

Argentina and Mexico Play the Latin American Derby

Argentina and Mexico are some of the strongest nations in Latin America and meet in the second round of Group C on Saturday. 1/2 on Argentina to win might not look like fantastic value, but the South Americans are the better team. With no injury concerns ahead of this fixture, they should be able to add another three points at the expense of Mexico, which are priced at 6/1. 

Spain takes on Germany in High Profile European Derby.

European football fans are justly enthusiastic about the match between Spain and Germany, as this is the first derby of the World Cup 2022. The two nations have won the European and World Cup several times, so they have evenly matched ahead of this fixture. 1xBet offers identical odds of 17/10 for the two teams to win, but a draw is also possible since they are the main favorites in the group.

Portugal and Uruguay Rely on Veterans in Group H Clash

Cristiano Ronaldo is once again the player the Portuguese fans rely on to help them qualify to the World Cup 2022 playoffs. 1xBet offers even odds on the Europeans to defeat Uruguay and prices the South American nation at 3/1. Cavani and Suarez will be in the starting formation, and the two veterans are well-capable of scoring against the best teams in the world, so Uruguay shouldn’t be underestimated.
