Predictions based on FIFA rankings, squad strength, key players and tournament history. Updated before the tournament starts.
Ranked 9th, De Bruyne and Lukaku still leading the line, Courtois in goal. Should top the group with ease.
Ranked 20th, organised and disciplined under Ghalenoei. Always competitive at World Cups. Egypt will push them hard for second place.
Mohamed Salah leads them and is capable of winning games on his own. Ranked 35th but with Salah anything is possible.
Historic qualification. Physical and well-organised but face three tough opponents. An upset would be extraordinary.
