Group A looks interesting. Qatar has IMO around 50% chances of qualifying to the next round. Netherlands in all probability will finish on top, but there is going to be fierce competition from Qatar, Senegal and Ecuador for the second position. I am more inclined towards Ecuador, since CONMEBOL teams are the best in football. Senegal on the other hand is famous for upsets, although their form has gone down recently. Qatar needs at least one win and a draw to progress to second round and it will be easier for them to defeat Senegal than Ecuador.
I think those who will advance to the next round in Group A are the Netherlands as group winners and Senegal as second place in Group A. because Senegal is also a team of proven quality, they have just won the African champions, what Senegally needs to know is as the first position in the FIFA ranking list for the African region.
The star from Liverpool also comes from Senegal, namely Sadio Mane. Everyone knows the quality of Mane.
Mane alone can't do much, what happened in the last games in senegal Is that African teams are very weak and senegal were a little stronger, just look at the number of goals they scored in each game? it was disappointing and in this world the teams are very strong, look at the netherlands, look at Ecuador. they are two very strong teams with great quality and that score a lot of goals... senegal will be on the way, they didn't pass in this group. unfortunately as an African I feel sad to say this, but I see African games and the difference between European and American games. in the past something like 10 years ago we had very strong African teams that could face European teams today the situation is bad
