The World Cup is set to be a scorcher.
After player safety concerns surfaced during the Club World Cup last summer, The Action Network ranked all 16 host stadiums by heat risk — to find out which venues will put the most strain on players and fans when the tournament kicks off.
So there we have it! Fans and players alike should take this analysis on board, and prepare for the heat.
Extreme heat can impact betting outcomes, and move odds markets. Any bettors looking to get in on the action for the World Cup this year should take a look at some of the best sportsbooks that we rank and review at The Action Network.
Bettors should make sure that they are located in legal sports betting states, however.
