England shouldn’t face serious problems to top Group B with the firepower they have in their squad. UEFA Play-Off winning side is expected to get the better of the USA to reach RO16 but this game will be the probable decider of the runners-up (2nd spot) of Group B.

| E4 | Japan | AFC | Will Be Eliminated | 3rd |
There will be a serious battle for the group topper spot in Group E. Germany and Spain will have to fight their skins out not only for the champion spot but also for prestige. In the end, our analysts have put their money on Germany with Luis Enrique’s side following them as the group runners-up.

Group F features 2 out of the 4 semifinalists of the Russia WC in Belgium and finalist Croatia. Canada who is playing a FIFA WC finals after 36 years will be there along with CAF side Morocco.

| F3 | Morocco | CAF | Will Be Eliminated | 3rd |
| F4 | Croatia | UEFA | Will Qualify | Group Runners-Up |
Croatia had their best-ever run in Russia but the Belgium side looks stronger on pen and paper. Considering the Red Devils’ group stage form in recent mega-events they should finish as the topper with the Croats staying just beneath them. And yes, don’t take Morocco for granted.
FIFA World Cup 2022 Group G:
5 times champions Brazil has 2 European giant-killers in Serbia and Switzerland in Group G. The final side of this group is Cameroon.

| G4 | Cameroon | CAF | Will Be Eliminated | 4th |
Brazil will march toward Qatar with one of the most balanced squads in the tournament. Serbia and Switzerland, both of these sides can down-under any giant. Whatever there should be a battle between the 2 European nations for the 2nd spot with Brazil comfortably finishing at the top.
FIFA World Cup 2022 Group H:
Cristiano Ronaldo will be in Qatar with his Portugal team competing in Group H which features Uruguay, Ghana, and South Korea.

Yes, Portugal had to struggle a lot to reach Qatar but they are still one of the strongest soccer side nations at the moment. CR7 lovers would see their favorite side topping the group and so do our panel. Uruguay knocked Portugal out in Russia but is our 2nd pick to advance from this group. Oh, don’t forget South Korea defeated the mighty Germans in 2018. If somebody gives them a chance, they will use the full toll of it.
