Tunisia, Ghana, and Cameroon appear to be a stepping stone for different groups to succeed in the knockout phases.

“With their present kind, I concern they are going to go house after three matches. Hopefully, they show me incorrect.”

Senegal will fancy their probabilities in Group A, the place they’ve been classed along with hosts Qatar, Ecuador, and the Netherlands.

Tunisia are in Group D alongside France, Australia, and Denmark. Canada, Belgium, and Croatia are with Morocco in Group F. Cameroon will battle Switzerland, Brazil, and Serbia in Group G.
