- Spain
Spain has not been commented on as a favorite, due to the young squad and their recent participation in cups. In 2014 they were eliminated in the group stage and in 2018 in the round of 16 against Russia. In the last cup, Spain was favorite, until the departure, on the eve of the competition, of its coach, Julien Lopetegui. For this Cup, Luis Enrique has been doing a great job, and Spain is coming very strong.
The big dispute for Spain in this group is the confrontation against Germany. In this confrontation, in recent years Spain has been taking advantage, highlighting the 6-0 Spanish rout in the League of Nations, what can make it difficult for Spain is its style of play, which in the group stage always makes life difficult for the Spanish national team.
Main players: Pedri, Busquets and Alba.

- Costa Rica or New Zealand
Still no date set, Costa Rica and New Zealand will face each other for a spot in the World Cup. The favoritism is on the side of Costa Rica, as they are a better prepared team and have shown an improvement in the last FIFA dates, an improvement that almost allowed a direct classification for the Group Stage.
The team that passes will have a hard life, will fall into a group with two world champions and with a traditional team in the competition, Japan. But if it's any inspiration, in the last cup Germany were eliminated in the group stage, so hope is the last to die.
- Germany
After the 2014 world title, the German team went “downhill”, with a string of heavy eliminations and vexatious eliminations. So this cup serves as a redemption for Germany, which after the change of coach returned to play good games.
The objective of Germany in this group stage is to win the first place, also thinking about the knockout phase, imagine starting the round of 16 facing the Belgium team, even with all the German tradition in the tournament, we know that the moment is not the best for the selection.
Main players: Thomas Muller, Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry.
- Japan
The samurai arrive once again at the World Cup, it will be the first participation of most of the players. It's a squad that can still evolve a lot, however today it doesn't arrive so well prepared and we wouldn't be surprised by a possible knock-off from Japan.
It's very complicated to think about a classification of Japan in this group, it would necessarily have to win the play-offs team and win a world champion. Despite all the tradition of the Japanese team, we believe that they will not make it past the group stage.
Main players: Takumi Minamino and Wataru Endo.
Suggestions: So far, in the markets we only have the classification odds, which are extremely dented, but it would be good to keep an eye on Spain's odds to be leader of the group, because due to all the tradition of the German national team, we can have a value odd.
