GROUP A
Without a doubt, the candidate to win the championship for this group is Italy. The only World Champion team on the group will most certainly move to the next round. On the other hand, Wales receives a lot of attention because of their star, Gareth Bale. Switzerland and Turkey are doing great on the European classification to the Qatar World Cup 2022, so this group will indeed have a high level of competition.
