World Cup qualifying odds - South America

The South American World Cup qualifying games start up again in on September 5th. Brazil leads the group with 27 points, but they are not in the clear, as they are several teams battling it out to qualify.

Brazil is followed by surprising Chile (26 points), Paraguay (24 points), Argentina (22 points), Ecuador (20 points), Uruguay (18 points), and Columbia and Venezuela (17 points each). The top four teams from South America will automatically qualify and the 5th place team will play the fourth place team from the North/Central America and the Caribbean region for a berth.

World Cup qualifying odds - North/Central America and the Caribbean

The nest qualifying games from the North/Central America and the Caribbean will begin again August 12th.

The top three teams from the group will automatically qualify for next summer and the fourth place team will play the fifth place team from South America for a berth. Costa Rica (12 points) and USA (10 points) look like locks to make it, while the battle will be between Honduras (7 points), Mexico (6 points), and El Salvador (5 points).

World Cup qualifying odds - Asia

There is only one more round of World Cup qualifying games for the Asia region, which will be held June 17th. There are four automatic berths, two from each group, and the two third place teams will play each other and the winner will play New Zealand for the final berth.

Australia and Japan have already qualified from Group 1 and South Korea has already qualified from Group 2. The big match next week is between North Korea at Saudi Arabia, as the winner of the game will automatically qualify.

World Cup qualifying odds - Africa

The Africa region still has several qualifying games left and they will begin again June 20th. There are five groups and each group winner will play next summer. The current group leaders are Gabon, Tunisia, Algeria and Zambia, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso.

World Cup qualifying odds - Oceana

New Zealand has already won the group play in the Oceana region and they will play the fifth place team from the Asian zone. The winner of that playoff will earn a berth in the World Cup.
