When each group stage draw is made ahead of a World Cup, qualified nations around the world pray for a kind set of fixtures to kick the competition off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some draw favourable sides, others aren\u2019t so lucky. Punters often look on to decide the \u2018Group of Death\u2019, but there are a few contenders for that title at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the trickiest groups at the tournament which begins next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the 2022 World Cup Group of Death?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group G \u2013 Brazil (1), Serbia (21), Switzerland (15), Cameroon (43)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a clear favourite for Group G, that being South American giants Brazil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copa America champions in 2019 and runners-up to Argentina in 2021, the Selecao have established stars all over the pitch in the form of Neymar, Thiago Silva and Marquinhos while also boasting of a tremendous amount of strength in depth. They tend not to finish second in World Cup groups and expect that to continue in Qatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are only 22 places separating the next three sides. Switzerland<\/strong> are the next highest-ranked team in 15th and impressively disposed of Italy in their qualification group. They faced Brazil in Russia in 2018, holding them to a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swiss also enjoyed a memorable run at Euro 2020, knocking out France in a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serbia<\/strong> are another side who will be bidding for that runners up spot in Group G. They have a bunch of established European stars including Dusan Vlahovic, Dusan Tadic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, all of whom will be desperate for a deep run in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their last three World Cup tournaments \u2013 including 2006 as Serbia and Montenegro \u2013 have ended in group stage disappointment, last reaching the knockout stage in 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making up the team in Group G are Cameroon<\/strong>. The Indomitable Lions lost their final two friendlies but had otherwise enjoyed an unbeaten 2022, only exiting the Africa Cup of Nations on penalties to Egypt in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They ended up finishing third in that tournament thanks to a penalty shootout victory of their own over Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toughest 2022 World Cup groups<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group B \u2013 England (5), Iran (20), USA (16), Wales (19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All four teams in Group B currently hold positions in the top 20 of FIFA\u2019s world rankings. FIFA allocated a place in Pot 4 to the winner of the UEFA play-off path that included Ukraine, Scotland and Wales, meaning the bottom seed \u2013 Wales<\/strong> \u2013 strangely rank higher than the third seed \u2013 Iran<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England<\/strong> are the favourites to take the spot after good runs at both the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2020, though the young batch of prospects on the USA<\/strong>\u2018s roster make them a difficult prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group E \u2013 Spain (7), Costa Rica (31), Germany (11), Japan (24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another of the tougher groups in Qatar is Group E, where former world champions Spain<\/strong> and Germany<\/strong> both reside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While each have enjoyed success in the tournament in previous years, they have also followed up triumphs with group-stage exits, which will intrigue lower-ranked sides Japan<\/strong> and Costa Rica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group A <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal and Netherlands <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group B<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

England, IR Iran, USA and Wales <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group C<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group D<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

France, Australia, Denmark and Tunisia <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group E<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spain, Costa Rica, Germany and Japan <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group F<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Belgium, Canada, Morocco and Croatia <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group G<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group H<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay and Korea Republic <\/p>\n\n\n\n
