The football World Cup is one of the most popular tournaments in the world, but it is only reserved for the national teams. Club football is considered equally popular across the world, and the tournament to celebrate the best club team is the FIFA Club World Cup. Founded in 2000, the tournament underwent major changes to the structure in 2005. It encompasses seven teams coming in from six federations across the world.

History and Structure

The winners from the Asian, African, North American, South American, Oceanic, and European Champions Leagues come into the tournament along with the national champions of the host nation. There are no group stages in this tournament as it gets straight into the knockout stages. Football predictions used to favour South American teams more when it came to the FIFA Club World Cup, as teams from this region have taken the competition more seriously than the Champions League winners from Europe.

Favourites

The overwhelming difference in quality between the European teams and the Champions League winners from the rest of the world is starting to tell in recent years. Football betting tips have recognised this trend and are backing Real Madrid to win the title. The Spanish club are the reigning champions of Europe, and they will come up against the likes of Atlético Nacional, who won the 2016 Copa Libertadores, and America, who are the CONCACAF Champions League winners.

Football betting is expecting a tough competition from the host nation, Japan. Suita City Football Stadium and International Stadium Yokohama in Japan will be playing host to the tournament. Japan managed to win the rights to host the tournament without any opposition after India withdrew their interest in 2014.

One of the reasons for football betting odds not being prepared to back South American teams is the solitary victory by Corinthians in the last five years of the FIFA Club World Cup. Even though Brazilian teams managed to win the first three editions of the tournament, they have been overshadowed by European teams in recent years. Football odds are heavily backing Atlético Nacional to come as runners-up in the tournament.

How to bet

Real Madrid are looking to become the champions of the world for the second time in three seasons. They would move one step closer towards Barcelona, who have been the most successful team in this tournament with three wins. Madrid are being backed heavily by betting tips football since they have an extremely strong squad with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.

Depending on the risk you want to take, Real Madrid is a safe option, even if the odds are low. In addition to this, know that at the end of every FIFA World Cup, a number of awards are handed out. The event commission hand picks a few notable football players and vote for the most impressive player from the campaign to award the Golden Ball. On the same note, there's also the Golden Shoe trophy, which is handed to the top goalscorer. Our bet in the 2016 FIFA World Cup is on Cristiano Ronaldo.
