Brazil odds to win the World Cup

Brazil have a record-extending sixth World Cup victory in their sights this summer.

Led by arguably the greatest manager of all-time in Carlo Ancelotti, the Seleção undoubtedly possess one of the best squads at the tournament, boasting an embarrassment of riches in forward areas.

24 years is a long time between drinks for a country with such an outstanding World Cup track record but they look primed for a good run in North America.

Pitched into Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti and Scotland, there should be no qualms over their ability to chart a safe passage through to the knockout stages; especially given the extended places on offer by virtue of a 48-team competition.

This, however, does make the knockout path a nightmare to predict but if Brazil were to top their group -- they are 1/4 to do so -- the runner-up in Group F awaits in the brand new round of 32.

Either Japan or Sweden are the most likely opponents here but there is also a chance that Netherlands drop into second to set up a mouthwatering clash early in the knockout rounds.

From there on in, there will be no easy games, something that Ancelotti will be well aware of and has the players at his disposal to overcome any challenge.

Raphinha (25/1), Vinicius Jr (25/1) and Igor Thiago (40/1) are all fancied enough to finish as top goalscorer and are all arriving in North America off the back of fantastic seasons at club level.
