The Chelsea midfielder believes Fabio Capello could lead the Three Lions to glory for the first time since 1966.
And he admits the Germans are lagging behind in the race for success in South Africa.
Ballack, 33, said: "England have a great team and many players with exceptional individual class.
"With Capello, they now have a manager who has brought stability. That is important and the team feels that.
"They have got to be able to win games even when they are not playing at the highest level and that is what Italian managers are good at, particularly him.
"England are oozing self-confidence and I can sense that here. They are one of the favourites."
Ballack also believes Brazil, Italy and France have a great chance of lifting the trophy.
But he is not convinced about Germany's prospects.
He added: "At a World Cup, everything has got to work, and then even more — you need luck.
"There are certainly teams who are better than us at the moment."

JTerry All the foreign players say 'England can win the world cup' every time we go to one because they know that our players will believe the hype and get over confident and then play awful. happens every time. as much as i would love to see my home nation do well, ENGLAND WILL NOT WIN THE WORLD CUP! NO WAY!
only chance we have is if spain, brazil, italy and portugal all get swine flu and come bottom of their groups.
