The former Arsenal boss is working as a pundit for the tournament for beIN Sports and thinks that the populations of the nations still left in Russia will be crucial in deciding whether or not they can lift the trophy.
The likes of Germany, Spain, Argentina, and Portugal have already crashed out, and Wenger - who is still to decide on his next move after leaving Arsenal at the end of last season - knows who his favorites are now.
"My heart favorite is, of course, France," he said, unsurprisingly.
"I said many times that no country under 40 million people has won the World Cup since 1954, since after the Second World War.
"But I ask you, can you cut out Belgium? They are smaller country but they have the quality. And Croatia has the quality.
"But I would say England - nobody speaks about England but they are dangerous - Brazil or France."
