Dave1962

Alex de Minaur is ranked twenty-six places higher than his opponent. He is yet to drop a set at this tournament. They played each other last year, and Alex de Minaur won in straight sets.

Having won the French Open, where his opponent was knocked out in the third round, Alexander Zverev has continued his fine form in Halle. He is ranked forty-eight places higher than his opponent.

Brazil last won the World Cup in 2002, and with no players like Pelé and Ronaldinho they will probably fall short again. They qualified in fifth place with the same number of points as Paraguay. Morocco are ranked two places lower than Brazil in the FIFA rankings. Morocco were awarded the Africa Cup of Nations trophy following the antics of Senegal. If Brazil fail to fire in their opening game against Morocco, then there is every chance Morocco will go on to win the group. Having already selected Morocco to beat Brazil in that game, it is only logical to select them to win the group.

Once again, the English fans will be full of hope that their team can win this tournament for the first time since 1966. They have the players to achieve this. In qualifying they won all eight games, scoring twenty-two goals and conceding none. If they can again be a team that is difficult to break down, the England team have a good chance of winning this competition.

For England to win the tournament, they will probably once again be relying on Harry Kane to be the main goalscorer. In addition to any goals he scores in open play, if any penalties are to be taken he is the player the team look to to take the spot kick. He has been in great form for Bayern Munich, so hopefully he can come away from this tournament as top goalscorer.
