Will need to bank points in their opening fixture with Morocco if they’re to advance, as Portugal and Spain seem a class above.

Morocco

Will need to bank points in their opening fixture with Morocco Iran if they’re to advance, as Portugal and Spain seem a class above. Their defence was brick wall-esque in qualifying though.

Portugal

The Euro 2016 holders will come in with confidence but go up in class here. Ronaldo has only managed one goal at each of the previous three World Cups, so will need to deliver more this time if they’re to get to the quarters.

Spain

Good luck getting past David de Gea. They don’t quite have that lethal talisman others do, but will own the ball and find their way through most sides like a bad paella.
