FIFA World Cup 2022 Predictions
Title: 2022 World Cup Group Stage Qualification Analysis – Group A
FIFA Qatar Group A includes Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, and the Netherlands. In recent years, the Netherlands has had a few uprising football supernovas, such as world-class football superstars such as Matthijs de Ligt, Memphis Depay, and Frenkie de Jong.
The Netherlands may advance into the Semi-Quarter-Final as first place in Group A, and the other team that should advance as second place in the group A might be the Senegal National Football Team led by Sadio Mané.
Although Qatar is the host country and has the home court advantage, yet the possibility of advancing is still relatively low. Although South America is a place where football is popular, Ecuador is not a football superpower country, but there is still a chance to advance if they play against the Senegal National Football Team.

Senegal: May be the underdog
Chance of Advance: ★★★
This 2022 World Cup will be the 3rd time for the Senegal National Football Team to qualify for the FIFA World Cup. Senegal National Football Team’s first World Cup debut was in the 2002 World Cup hosted by Korea & Japan.
Despite the South Korean National Football Team making it into the semi-finals of that year, another shocking event is the Senegal National Football Team defeating the French National Football Team. Next, they were eliminated during finals against the Sweden National Football Team on 2002/1/8.
Senegal may be the underdog, but their winning odds aren’t low.
Star players for Senegal National Football Team:

Chance of Advance: ★★
This will be the 4th time that Ecuador National Football Team participated in the World Cup. Ecuador’s best World Cup record was back in 2006 in Germany, but they only advanced into the Semi-Quarter-Final.

However, compared to Ecuador, Qatar at least holds the home court advantage, Ecuador on the other side has no advantage, but their Ecuador people will be rooting for them on the other side of the world.
