Group A World Cup betting

Group A has four fairly evenly matched teams, the weakest of which should be Uruguay, who will be no pushovers but are probably the least likely to qualify.

The bookies will be thinking France should win the group but it should be worth taking a chance on South Africa to win the group, they have a big advantage as hosts and are more than fair odds to win Group A.

Group A Runner Up Odds

That leaves one more place in the knockout phase up for grabs. It is likely France and Mexico will battle it out for this spot and as France struggled so much in qualifying it is best to ignore their obvious quality and let recent form decide the bet, which is to back Mexico to be runners up in Group A.

Best Group A Bet

The host always makes it out of the group so backing South Africa to qualify should yield a fair profit given they are a nice price to go through. Back South Africa to qualify at best odds 2/1 with BWin. New customers get a free £30 bet.

The next best bet in Group A is France not to qualify at odds of 2.68 with William Hill and get £30 in free bets
