Odds provided by Sportingbet are correct at the time of writing but are subject to change.
Argentina
Argentina finished as runners up to Brazil in the South American qualifying group. Both sides were unbeaten but Argentina's record of 11 wins and 6 draws saw them finish 6 points adrift of their rivals.
They last won this trophy in 1986 and they have been runners up twice since then and quarter finalists 3 times but they got no further than the Round of 16 in 2018 when they lost to France who went on to be crowned champions.
Form is top draw with a 35 game unbeaten run which includes a Copa America title. Lionel Scaloni is the coach and they are ranked 3rd in the world by Fifa.
Selected Outright Odds
To win the tournament 5/1
To win Group C 4/10
To Qualify from Group C 0.16/1

Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia topped one of the two Asian qualifying groups with a record of 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat to finish 1 point clear of Japan and 8 better off than Australia who subsequently came through the play offs.
Saudi Arabia failed to make it beyond the group stage in 2018, they are ranked 51st in the world and they have pulled a tough group and the betting has them as rank outsiders.
Selected Outright Odds
To win the tournament 600/1
To win Group C 18/1
To Qualify from Group C 13/2
Mexico
Mexico are regulars at World Cup finals, they often get out of their group but they rarely go deep. They qualified as runners up to Canada with USA in third spot with 8 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats and goals were fairly scarce with 17 scored and 8 conceded.
Gerardo Martino is the coach and Mexico are ranked 13th in the world.
Selected Outright Odds
To win the tournament 100/1
To win Group C 9/2
To Qualify from Group C 17/20
Poland
Poland finished as runners up to England in qualifying with a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, Albania and Hungary were among those to miss out. That put Poland in the play offs where they were given a bye (with Russia not participating) before a 2-0 win over Sweden booked their ticket to Qatar.
Poland are ranked 26th in the world and much hinges on Robert Lewandowski. They won 1 and lost 2 group matches in the 2018 finals to head home early and coach Czeslaw Michniewicz is the man tasked with taking them further this time around.
Poland's performance in the Euro's last year disappointed as they picked up just 1 point from 3 group matches.
Selected Outright Odds
To win the tournament 100/1
To win Group C 5/1
To Qualify from Group C 9/10
Risk Free First Bet Up to R2,000 back if you don't win
