Group F has a clear frontrunner as No. 5 France is expected to finish at the top after the group stage wraps up. They’re joined by No. 8 Brazil, No. 43 Jamaica, and No. 52 Panama as CONCACAF will have two representatives in the group battling to advance to the knockout rounds.
DraftKings Sportsbook has France as -200 favorites to top the group with Brazil close behind at +150. Panama comes in last with odds at +25000 to win Group F and +2200 to qualify for the knockouts. France is making their fifth appearance in the WWC and will look to make a deep run to the final, with their best finish coming in 2011 when they secured fourth place. Brazil has never won a WWC title either, finishing in third in 1999 but making a round of 16 exit in their last two go-arounds on the big stage.
