Group F Full Analysis
The Netherlands are heavy favourites in Group F and should top it comfortably. Oranje have Cody Gakpo, Virgil van Dijk and an experienced squad who know how to win tournament football. Nigeria are the natural second-placed side — Africa's most populous nation has a wealth of Premier League talent and the firepower to score goals against anyone. Qatar's 2022 experience counts for something; they surprised several opponents but were ultimately eliminated in the group stage on home soil. Honduras will fight hard but face a tough challenge to spring an upset.
