247 - According to a survey commissioned by the Reuters news agency, Brazil is the favorite to win the Qatar World Cup. The survey included 135 market analysts who follow football worldwide and who predicted Brazil's sixth World Cup title.

The survey was last successful in 2010, when Spain won the World Cup for the first time. Among the analysts, the Brazilian national team was the preferred choice of half of those interviewed, while France and Argentina shared the preference of 30% of those involved. Germany, England, and Belgium were also among the national teams cited as favorites in the surveys. 

Another prediction from the poll commissioned by Reuters is that Lionel Messi and Neymar, PSG teammates, could win the Ballon d'Or, the award given to the best player of the World Cup. Mbappé, meanwhile, is predicted to be the top scorer and winner of the Golden Boot.
