Iran is the only other team in Group A to win at least a single match. Others, inc;uding the USA and Wales, have either lost the match or delivered a draw. England looks to defeat Wales, and Iran wants to clinch victory against the US.
Group C started with an upset when Messi-led Argentina lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia. Argentina has been able to bounce back. It now aims to start another winning streak when it next plays Poland on November 30, 2022.
Saudi Arabia is desperate to prove that the win over Argentina was not just a fluke. It will do whatever it takes to beat Mexico on the same day to add three more points to its name. Argentina and Saudi Arabia could be the top two, with only time to tell.
Group D has given out a name for the next round: France. The team emerged victorious against Australia (4-1) and against Denmark (2-1). Australia could be the next to qualify, provided it takes Denmark by storm. Tunisia and France are less likely to deliver an upset.
France has enough power to finish the pool stage undefeated. Along with Portugal, only Brazil has the opportunity to accomplish this.
Group E is led by Spain, who has accumulated four points. Following a 1-2 loss to Japan, the team drew their second match against Germany. The unexpected victory of Costa Rica over Japan has kept Germany’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 hopes alive.
The match between Spain and Japan on December 1 will result in a comfortable victory for Spain. Germany and Costa Rica will engage in a battle that has the potential to result in a win.
Four matches into Group F, Croatia is comfortably in first place. Morocco fell down by a goal differential of only 2. Both Belgium and Canada have a considerable distance to travel, given their goal differentials are negative.
Consider Croatia and Morocco as the potential winners in their respective upcoming fixtures.
Brazil and Portugal have already advanced from Group G and Group H. Only one team from each table will now qualify for the knockout stage. Ghana, from Group H, is looking to secure its place. So, Switzerland is in Group G.
