Racing Post's Bruce Millington, Mark Langdon & Dan Childs and Paddy Power's Malachy Rooney deliver a bumper betting preview of the World Cup 2018 in Russia.

Both Mark Langdon and Dan Childs thinks Spain will win the World Cup and back Uruguay, Columbia and Serbia as potential outsiders. Mark thinks a Spain v Brazil final is a good bet and thinks Germany's form is too patchy this season. The panel are all against Argentina due to their poor qualifying campaign, and Malachy backs Belgium to win (despite Dan's reservations with their Euro 16 knockout to Wales). England are fancied to get to the quarter finals before getting knocked out thanks to the united squad Gareth Southgate has picked. Mark gives an interesting stat that all recent Golden Ball winners have been sponsored by Adidas, who are one of the main FIFA World Cup sponsors. -- Producer: Adam Williams
