With the World Cup waiting for us right around the corner, the fan theories and predictions are beginning to come in at an unprecedented rate. You may even have a few theories yourself - there are very few things that can beat the excitement of sifting through World Cup teams to see who is going to be the victor.
Predictions are incredibly mixed when it comes to Qatar; some people think their home-field advantage is going to give them the push they need to win, while others theorise that no advantage could give Qatar the ability to budge the top dogs off their podiums.
Well, which side is right? There is no definitive answer; but in this article, we will be glossing over a few of the most notable points that can give us an idea of just how well Qatar will perform. Let’s get right into it.
It Is Incredibly Unlikely That Qatar Will Win
To give it to you straight; Qatar has not got the best chances of winning. That's right; to the dismay of Qatar fans everywhere, it is looking increasingly likely that Qatar isn't going to win, and in fact, it would come as a surprise if they manage to place relatively well at all. Qatar is not ranked too highly on most prediction websites, and when you take a look at their previous performances, it comes as no surprise that this is the case.
Speaking of previous performances, did we mention that this is Qatar’s first World Cup team ever? This means that Qatar has a huge disadvantage when compared to most other nations that have teams with decades of experience, and they just haven't had enough time to find their rhythm yet.
This affects Qatar all over the board - the players are not very experienced with World Cup games, the team has had little time to get used to each other, and the coaches/trainers have yet to get familiar with the team dynamic to come up with optimal training routines.
It comes as no surprise to see that Qatar has relatively abysmal odds on a Sportsbook like Unibet.- they just don't have the experience to win a World Cup game, and this is going to hinder their performance drastically.
The Home Field Advantage Can Make a Massive Difference
Despite the fact that this is Qatar’s first national team, there is no rule saying that they can not perform well, or even win if all the stars align. Along with just having a solid roster of players, Qatar also has the home-field advantage, and this has been shown time and time again to be a boon to whichever team is lucky enough to have it.
It is entirely possible for Qatar to perform well in this World Cup, and truth be told, it would be a shock to see them down at the bottom of the list. Qatar has a good team, and with a little luck, they may go on to perform miracles.
Truth be told; nobody really knows what's going to come to fruition in this World Cup. We can sit here and make predictions all day, but in the end, that’s all they really are; predictions. Every team has a fair shot at winning this year, and Qatar certainly being no exception.
We can't wait to see how this year’s World Cup unfolds - if it's even half as good as it’s looking right now, we are going to be in for a real treat. Have fun.
