2018 FIFA World Cup Draw - 12.1.17 - 12/01/17 05:16 PM
So, the groups in order of difficulty, according to Fifa coefficients:
Group F Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea Ave coefficient: 1048.7625
Group C France, Australia, Peru, Denmark Ave coefficient: 1039.3975
Group B Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran Ave coefficient: 1031.105
Group D Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria Ave coefficient: 986.7075
Group G Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England Ave coefficient: 957.88
Group H Poland, Senegal, Colombia, Japan Ave coefficient: 948.275
Group E Brazil, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia Ave coefficient: 744.565
Group A Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Uruguay Ave coefficient: 700.41
It should be said that the way FIFA calculates their coefficients quite savagely punishes teams who play lots of friendlies, and that the ranking of Russia – who haven’t played a competitive international for two years – is thus unfairly low.
