- Qatar
As it is a host, the Qatari team did not play in all stages of the Asian qualifiers and this makes it a little difficult to analyze the team, as they only played friendlies and a few continental cup games. Despite being a team with no tradition in World Cups, Qatar might make life difficult for their opponents.
This cup cycle was very productive for Qatar, as the team reached the final of the Gold Cup (North and Central America), played in the Copa América (South America) and was champion of the Asian Cup in 2019. that Qatar is only in this World Cup for hosting it, is wrong, this team would fight equally with Saudi Arabia, UAE and even Japan, for a place. Qatar should fight for the classification even having a team inferior to their opponents.
Main players: Akram Afif and Abdulaziz Hatem.

- Ecuador
After being left out of the 2018 World Cup, the Ecuadorian team is back in the competition, which has a good generation with talented players, given the due proportions. This team managed to displace the experienced Chilean team and a talented generation from Colombia.
Ecuador had good moments in the qualifiers, but their main games were at home, which leaves us with "a foot behind" in relation to the performance they can have in this Cup, remembering that in the 2021 Copa América the team did not win any games and in its last World Cup it performed well below expectations. It's a good team, but these cup performances make us doubt Ecuador.
Main players: Damián Diaz, Félix Torres and Arboleda.
- Senegal
After a less-than-expected performance in the 2018 World Cup, the Senegal team arrives more “mature” and with more talent for this competition, after all we are talking about the current champion of the African Cup, and who fell into a group that allows him to dream of a longer lasting campaign.
Senegal is a very solid team, concedes few goals in matches on its continent and takes few risks, however, the crucial thing for the development of this team was the “shell” acquired in this Cup cycle. Looking at the African teams, Senegal has been the most talented team for a long time, but for not having this “shell” it always suffered in the competitions it disputed. We believe in a good performance by Senegal in this Cup.
Main players: Sadio Mané, Édouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly.
- Netherlands
After not participating in the 2018 World Cup, the “Clockwork Orange” is back, with a new generation that promises to fight for titles, especially after the return of coach Louis van Gaal, who was present in the 3rd place campaign at the World Cup. of 2018.
A strong team, a good coach and good leaders on the pitch, it reminds us of Netherlands' golden teams. Despite talking a lot about France and Brazil, the Dutch team is one of the favorites for this competition.
Main players: Virgil van Dijk, Steven Berghuis and Memphis Depay.
Prediction: 1st Netherlands / 2nd Senegal / 3rd Qatar / 4th Equator
Suggestion: Ecuador not to qualify @1.75 - Betano
