Easily the most difficult group to predict, knockout round spots could be filled by Switzerland, Ecuador, France, or Honduras.
Switzerland, FIFA World Ranking: 7
The Swiss defense has been very strong only conceding goals in 30% of their qualifying matches, however their attack has not been able to match their defensive performance.
Predictions: Win over Honduras and Tie with Ecuador & France
Ecuador, FIFA World Ranking: 23
Struggling to score more than one goal per game, Ecuador will likely score and concede a low number of goals.
Predictions: Lose to France and Ties with Honduras & Switzerland
France, FIFA World Ranking: 17
Les Bleus have looked well organized in the back and will be hoping for good form from an inconsistent group of forwards.
Predictions: Wins over Ecuador & Honduras and Tie with Switzerland
Honduras, FIFA World Ranking: 36
With players unable to maintain a steady run of form, Honduras will likely be heading back home early.
Predictions: Losses to France & Switzerland and Tie with Ecuador
Group Stage Predictions:
1st. France
2nd. Switzerland
3rd. Ecuador
4th. Honduras
