— Betfair (@Betfair) November 19, 2022
This Monday morning (21), the England team beat Iran by 6-2 in the first round of group B of the World Cup in Qatar and further increased the confidence of the English in the prediction of horses. The highlight of the game was Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka with two goals. England now faces the USA on Friday (25th) at 4pm. Iran, on the other hand, plays against Wales at 7 am on the same day.
Bryony Frost, English jockey winner of the race and ambassador for Betfair, believes it is possible that the prediction will come true at the end of the Cup. “England gave us hope last year when we all went to the pubs together to watch the Euro Cup final, so now we’re looking forward to going further this year. I hope football returns home. I will be rooting for the guys. We all enjoyed the race. The energy of all the jockeys at the start was incredible and the crowd certainly loved it too”, he said.
Each of the horses was chosen based on the history and current situation of each country. For example, the Brazilian horse had a historically victorious pedigree, but which has been disappointing in recent competitions. The English horse has impressed in recent competitions, but has not won a title for a long time.
In addition to predicting the World Cup champion selection in 2022, Betfair also donated £10,000 (approximately R$64,000) to the Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF), responsible for financially helping over a thousand British athletes who have suffered accidents during their careers .
On the other hand, the result of the race is against the odds calculated by Betfair. According to specialists from the bookmaker, the Brazilian team is actually the big favorite to go to the grand final and win with a 20.1% chance. Argentina is second with 14%; England third with 11.3%. Check it out in the graphic below:
