Brazil World Cup squad: Graphic shows why they're favourites

Friday’s World Cup draw has got everyone very excited for the tournament later this year.

We’re now a little more than seven months away from Qatar hosting the greatest competition in the sporting calendar – and it can’t come soon enough.

But who will win the 2022 World Cup?

Well, if the bookmakers are to be believed, Brazil are the favourites.

Selecao won 14 of their 17 South American qualifiers, drawing the other three to remain unbeaten. They amassed a record amount of points.

With a record like that in qualifying, it’s no wonder Brazil edge out France, England and Spain according to the odds.

And you only need to look at their squad to see why they’re rated so highly.

In fact, thanks to a brilliant graphic produced by talkSPORT, it shows Brazil have three quality players in each position with a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Let’s take you through it:

Brazil have two of the best goalkeepers in world football in their ranks in the form of Alisson and Ederson. It seems the Liverpool ‘keeper will get the nod for the World Cup. The third choice is the experienced Weverton, who play for Palmeiras.

Juventus’ Danilo is likely to get the nod ahead of Dani Alves at right-back, and his club teammate, Sandro should start at left-back in front of Alex Telles.

Brazil have four solid options at the heart of the defence with Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Gabriel and Eder Militao all competing for a starting berth.

The two central midfielders are likely to have their work cut out for them in this formation. While talkSPORT have opted for Casemiro and Fred, we think Liverpool’s Fabinho will be a starter.

Behind them, there are the likes of Bruno Guimaraes, Douglas Luiz and Arthur Melo.

This is where it gets exciting.
