Name The Finalists
Name the finalists at first appears a very difficult bet but on further inspection it actually offers some great value bets that are not impossible to land.
World Cup Draw
First of all the World Cup draw is already planned out so certain teams cannot meet in the final. Before betting on name the finalists you will probably have had a bet on the World Cup odds Outright. This means you can the look across to the other half of the draw and pick the team most likely to progress to the final out of that side.
Consider The Groups
You will need to consider the difficulty of each group in the other half of the draw and also which teams are likely to meet who in the second round, the quarter final and the semi final. Obviously those teams that avoid the harder matches are more likely to progress to the final.
What History Tells Us
The last six World Cups held outside of Europe have resulted in a South American side winning the final against a European team.

The easiest way to go about picking the most likely finalists is to first work out who the most likely semi finalists are. The draw plays a strong role in deciding this as some sides will meet before the semi final or final and therefore cant be backed to play each other in the World Cup final.
It looks highly likely that Spain and England will win their groups and if Brazil do so as well (they are in the Group Of Death but should still win the group) then they should be three of the four sides in the semi final. Depending on group placings there is a fair chance the other semi finalist could be Germany or Argentina, neither of which are likely to reach the final.
Since Brazil and England are very likely to make up one of the semi finals it means one of those will fill one of the final spots. Spain are a brilliant side and it is not hard to see them progressing all the way to final. It may not be the most original or choices but back Spain to play Brazil in the final but have a saver on Spain to play England.
