The European qualifying groups for the World Cup are drawn tomorrow. With ten groups it all looks even more heavily weighted in favour of the so called big powers than normal. There'll be no France/Netherlands or Spain/Italy in the same group like 2018. Only three non group winners will qualify after play-offs between the ten group runners up with two spots from the Nations League.
Pot 1: Belgium, France, England, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands.
Pot 2: Switzerland, Wales, Poland, Sweden, Austria, Ukraine, Serbia, Turkey, Slovakia, Romania.
Pot 3: Russia, Hungary, Republic of Ireland, Czech Republic, Norway, Northern Ireland, Iceland, Scotland, Greece, Finland.
