Betting on the winner of the tournament is interesting, but first let's decide who is acting defensively and who will be the best at playing defensively in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup.
Bookmakers believe that the Netherlands and France have more chances to show the best defense. England and Argentina follow, and Brazil closes the top 5.
The Netherlands conceded 8 goals in ten matches during the qualifying round, which is not so great, because they did not have top opponents. The most serious opponents were Turkey and Norway.
France performed more reliably in defense during the qualifying stage, making only three effective mistakes, but it should be noted here that it took part in five games.
England also conceded three goals, having played ten matches. And this despite the fact that Poland played with her in the group, which broke out with thirty goals scored.
And now we turn to the representatives of South America. Brazil won the qualifying stage without any problems, scoring 45 points in 17 matches. In addition to the fact that she scored as many as 40 goals, she also played as confidently as possible in defense, conceding 5 goals. Slightly worse performance from Argentina, which finished second. She has scored 27 goals with 8 goals conceded.
Forecast
If we compare the teams by the number of matches and goals conceded, then Brazil is the best, having made five productive mistakes in seventeen matches. Even in the game with Argentina, she kept the gate intact. I think that in the group stage, the Brazilians will show confident defense and miss the least.
