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

#4 Germany

Placing Germany at fourth place in this list is probably surprising. They had an incredible qualifying campaign, winning all their matches scoring 43 goals and conceding only 4. The reason for them being at fourth place is the drop in form of Bayern Munich, which definitely could change in due course of this season. The defence of Hummels and Boateng has not started in a while for Bayern Munich, and is worrying for Germany as well. Germany's defence works so well because the international teammates are club teammates, as in the case of Hummels and Boateng currently or with Lahm and Boateng previously. The entire team, in fact, as seen in the 2014 World Cup, was so in sync due to this. That scenario has changed now. The defence is still solid - Boateng and Hummels along with Kimmich, Hector, Mustafi, Rudiger, Niklas Sule and Howedes form a good backline with several options. Manuel Neuer has had injury problems for a while, but if available, is undoubtedly going to start. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has improved drastically since the 2016/17 season for Barcelona and is an excellent backup goalkeeper for Neuer. The midfield is controlled by Toni Kroos, and the attacking outlets in midfield is something a team would crave for with Thomas Muller, Mesut Ozil, Julian Draxler, Leroy Sane, Leon Goretzka and many more options available.

The rise of RB Liepzig in the previous season of the Bundesliga has benefited Germany a lot, with Timo Werner a great goalscoring option along with Sandro Wagner and Lars Stindl. The Confederations Cup victory over Chile with a so-called "B Team" was enough to convince anybody who had doubts about this Germany team. Germany, as usual, would be a force to reckon with in the FIFA World Cup 2018.

Defence: 8/10

Midfield: 9/10

Attack: 8/10

Key Players: Toni Kroos, Jerome Boateng, Mesut Ozil

Germany would want a repeat of the 2014 FIFA World Cup
