4. Match Prediction
Brazil is the obvious favourites but we have already seen Saudi Arabia shocking fancied Argentina. So it will be naive for Brazil to undermine a team like Serbia who have multiple players with good amount of experience in various European leagues. But one thing that will keep Brazil ahead will be the quality of their strikers, Tite has several options and that should make the Latin Americans favourites. Betting tips: Odds are 3/1 in favour of Brazil.
