Welcome to our World Cup hub, brought to you by the sports betting team at Racing Post, who have been delivering expert insight for 40 years.
The hub combines our independent editorial content with integrated betting, allowing you to move seamlessly from research to placing a bet without leaving the site.
We will be on hand throughout the tournament, starting with our outright previews, top goalscorer selections and group verdicts.
In the Teams section you will find a best bet for all 48 nations along with ratings across ten different categories. We will be adding probable team line-ups and scouting reports to help readers make informed choices, particularly when creating their bet builders.
Talking of bet builders, our team line-up graphics will feature easy-to-follow icons highlighting those in the squad who could be worth considering in different markets, while our dedicated player stats tool has been built specifically to help readers do their own research and uncover potential angles.
All 104 matches will be previewed in-depth from a betting perspective with our recommended bet builders. Each day we will post our best bets which are also packaged up as accumulators that can be backed at the click of a button.
And the fun doesn't stop when the matches start. Our team of tipping experts will provide live betting insight with in-play blogs for every fixture. Unlike other blogs, ours will focus purely on the betting opportunities.
Coverage begins with a Countdown to Kick-Off feature an hour before each match when we analyse the confirmed line-ups and assess the impact of team news on the betting markets. Once the matches begin our experts will provide regular updates and fresh betting recommendations as the action unfolds.
We hope you enjoy the tournament and find this hub a valuable companion. Have fun and remember to gamble responsibly.
