Ronaldus de Boer, the former Dutch professional footballer and the twin brother of Frank de Boer is backing Brazil as the frontrunner for this year’s FIFA World Cup being played in Qatar.

The former Netherlands international is predicting Brazil to win the Cup for a record sixth time, according to an article published on the website of the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC).

He recently gave his World Cup predictions to the SC and is predicting the South American giants to beat Portugal in the final at Lusail Stadium on December 18.

The former Ajax, Barcelona and Rangers midfielder is also tipping his country to have a strong campaign by claiming the third place.

Ronaldus de Boer sees Louis van Gaal’s side winning Group A, ahead of Africa Cup of Nations holders, Senegal.

“As a Dutch guy, I was quite pleased with the draw, and I think the team can be happy with this group as well,” said de Boer.

“To be in the same group with hosts Qatar is special for me after living in Doha for seven years – but for me, the Netherlands and Senegal are the favourites to advance,” he was quoted as saying.
