Group G of the 2018 World Cup is led by Belgium. From Pot 2 came England, on an upward trajectory football-wise, and a candidate to steal the spotlight away from the Belgians. The group is completed with Tunisia, drawn out of Pot 3, and Panama, from Central America, who was in Pot 4.

Facing only in the last round, Belgium and England, the top two contenders, look like excellent fantasy bets for the two opening gameweeks. Tunisia will try to interfere in this fight, but they’ll need a good result on their inaugural, when they go against England. Belgium and England, nonetheless, need to prove their worth in the openers, to put a stamp on their intentions at WC2018.

The Belgians are currently 3rd place in the FIFA ranking and can no longer be called sleepers in 2018. Interestingly, Tunisia is just one place below England, 14th and 13th respectively. As for Panama, it has one of the worst ranks at the World Cup, currently in 55th. Despite the slight difference between England and Tunisia, the quality and experience difference between both sides should be in display in their opener.
