Which team has the best chance of winning the FIFA World Cup 2018?

#8 Uruguay

Uruguay had a relatively simpler qualifying campaign than most of the other teams in the CONMEBOL qualifiers, with its fate all but sealed before the last game. But it was not a very convincing display, due to its lack of wins against the big teams like Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The 4-1 loss to Brazil at home was definitely a worrying sign. The fact though, is that Uruguay has the team to reach the summit in next year's World Cup. With an attack comprising of Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez, the team has the quality to beat any goalkeeper on any day. Diego Godin and Jose Gimenez form a strong backline, who are capable of keeping out any opposition attack. Muslera in goal has been lauded for his performances in the qualifiers, with the maximum number of saves among all goalkeepers.

The Uruguayan defence is an asset to the team

Their victories generally depend on their attack and defence, with no midfielders particularly pinning their position in the team. Luis Suarez hasn't set the season alight just yet with Barcelona, but his two goals in the last qualifier and a satisfying performance against Atletico Madrid in La Liga would give him some much-needed confidence. Edinson Cavani has been menacing in Ligue 1, forming a fearsome attack along with Neymar and Mbappe, and has been racking up the goals. Watch out for Uruguay in 2018.
