SAUDI ARABIA

Ranking 67. Last time Did not qualify. Manager Juan Antonio Pizzi — former Spain international guided Chile to 2016 Copa America title. When they failed to qualify, he was recruited by Saudis after three managers in three months. They’re a bit like Wigan: playing the role of an FA Cup giantkiller in that nobody expects them to win a game here.

Key man Mohammad Al-Sahlawi (right) — striker spent three weeks training with Manchester United last month as part of a special deal. Joint-top goalscorer in qualifying with 16.

Rising star Fahad Al-Muwallad — the 23-year-old forward was one of nine Saudi players sent to La Liga clubs on loan in January for game time. Alas, Al-Muwallad played for a grand total of 26 minutes at Levante. Still, has 10 goals so far for his country.

Prospects Likely to finish bottom. Have to beat Russia in the opener to stand a chance.
