No group at the 2022 World Cup will be as tightly contested as Group G. The Brazilians might be the clear favourites for the top spot, but Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon will all fancy their chances of claiming that second Group G position that leads to the knockout stage. Let’s look at the 2022 World Cup Group G betting odds and analyze which teams will progress to the Round of 16, and find some value bets too.

Teams in Group G - Brazil to Top the Group of Death, But Serbia and Switzerland Have Other Plans

On their road to a sixth World Cup title, the Brazilians will have to be better than Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon. That’s easier said than done, though. None of these three nations has ever won the World Cup. However, they all come with in-form players in Qatar and will pull no punches in the super-competitive Group G - which we can openly call the Group of Death at this tournament.

Brazil - Can the Brazilians Win a World Cup After a 20-Year Hiatus?

Brazil has won a record five World Cups, but the last time this football-crazy nation lifted the Jules Rimet trophy was in 2002. Unfortunately, on their quest to end the 20-year World Cup drought, the Selecao couldn’t have picked a more difficult group.

The Brazilians will rely on Golden Boot betting favourite Neymar, as well as experienced stars like Casemiro and Thiago Silva, to lead them to glory. However, the PSG star and his teammates will have to be at their best right from the start of the tournament. If they aren’t, they will be in big trouble, and that sixth World Cup title might turn into a pipe dream.

Cameroon - Can the Indomitable Lions Take Everyone by Surprise?

Cameroon might be the Group G underdog with World Cup bookmakers, but the Indomitable Lions have the players to cause a major upset. The likes of Toko Ekambi and Choupo-Moting have goals in them, and with a little bit of luck, the Cameroonians can be the surprise package of the 2022 World Cup.

Serbia - Ready to Be the 2022 WC Dark Horse?

If you look at the Serbian team sheet, you notice just how many of their players are stars at their clubs. The Eagles boast a lethal strike force and have in-form Aleksandar Mitrovic, WC Top Scorer candidate Dusan Vlahovic, and the talented Luka Jovic. They also have a star-studded midfield containing Lazio’s main man Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and the always dangerous Dusan Tadic. If these players play as well as they could, Serbia has a decent chance of progressing to the knockout stages.

Switzerland - Will the Swiss Live Up to Bookies’ Expectations?

Bookmakers make the Swiss the favourites to qualify from Group G together with the Brazilians. However, bookies don’t always get things right. We feel that Switzerland might end its World Cup adventure as early as the WC 2022 group stage, and here’s why.

The Swiss had a relatively easy group in the World Cup qualifiers and came to Qatar because Italy made too many mistakes and virtually gifted the Swiss the top spot in the last match. Switzerland’s recent performances in the Nations League have also been below par. The Swiss might be favourites with World Cup betting operators, but we think they might be the side that disappoints in Qatar.

WC Group G Winner Betting Odds

World Cup bookies tip Brazil to win Group G with ease and give the Selecao betting odds that reflect that. If you are looking for higher odds, you will have to take some risks. However, those risks might pay off, especially if you bet at Serbia or Switzerland odds, which as you can see from the table below, are pretty enticing.

To Win	Powbet	LeoVegas	Greatwin	Freshbet
Brazil	1.44	1.20	1.44
Cameroon	13.00	14.00	13.00	12.90
Serbia	6.40	8.50	6.40	6.45
Switzerland	8.50	7.00	5.60	5.60

Betting on Group G Qualifying Teams

Bettors on the hunt for value bets should look no further than the Group G qualifying teams market. Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon all have decent chances of making it to the next round, and WC bookmakers give them betting odds you can’t ignore.

To Qualify	Powbet	LeoVegas	Greatwin	Freshbet
Brazil	1.11	1.04	1.11	1.11
Cameroon	3.25	3.80	3.25	3.25
Serbia	2.10	2.10	2.10	2.10
Switzerland	2.00	1.80	2.00	2.00

Other Possible Bets on Group G

In addition to the standard To Win and To Qualify bets, Group G presents a wide range of other wager options too. As we already mentioned, the one we think offers the best value is betting on Switzerland not to qualify from Group G.

Another wager you can explore is backing Serbia to score the most goals in this group. That Mitrovic-Vlahovic strike force will be difficult to contain for any team, and if the two powerful forwards convert their chances, Serbia might score more goals even than the mighty Brazilians.
