PSG's record signing was a doubt for the World Cup but today was confirmed to be on the plane.
Brazil announced their 23 man squad today for the World Cup and as a result, Oddschecker punters were quick to back them to go all the way.
Neymar, who has only just returned to light training with PSG after injuring his metatarsal, was included within the Brazilian side.
To no surprise whatsoever, Coutinho, Willian, Douglas Costa, Gabriel Jesus and Firmino were all included and their attacking options surely have to be one of the best in the world.
At odds of 4/1, Brazil are favourites to win in Russia. With the confirmation that Neymar will be featuring, nearly 25% of all World Cup outright bets have been placed on the nation to win a sixth World Cup.
It isn’t just their attacking options which make them tournament favourites. Marcelo, Danilo, Filipe Luis, Thiago Silva and Marquinhos will provide the right balance throughout the side. We definitely shouldn’t see a repeat of the 7-1 against Germany…
Oddschecker spokesman George Elek: “It seems as though punters were waiting for the confirmation that Neymar would be on the plane to Russia. Now that has happened, there’s been plenty of bets for them to win another World Cup.
However, the talent they have throughout the squad, they are clearly more than just a one man team.”
