The final 8 teams have had to win difficult games to make it this far, and they’ll all be hoping to take home the title and win the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Confederations Cup - Group A

Group A of the Confederations Cup is made up of Brazil, Japan, Mexico and Italy, with Brazil facing Japan in the opening game on June 15th. Not only are Brazil the bookies favourites to win the tournament, bet365 currently offer odds of just 3/10 that they’ll beat Japan in the opening game!

With Brazil at 8/15 and Spain at 4/6 to also make the final, make sure you claim the William Hill free bet offer for new customers if you’re going to bet on either team in this betting market and want the best Confederations Cup odds.

Confederations Cup - Group B

Group B is made up of Spain, Uruguay, Tahiti and Nigeria, with Spain facing Uruguay in the opening game on June 16th. Online bookies see Spain as the favourite to win this group with pretty poor Confederations Cup odds on offer at most bookies.

Nigeria could be a better option for free bets and be the team that upsets Spain’s chances. Betfred offers odds of 13/10 for them to do just that if you fancy a bet on the African underdogs.
