Hosts Russia will play the curtain-raiser in FIFA World Cup 2018 against Saudi Arabia on 14th June. The Group A consists of hosts Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Uruguay.
Saudi Arabia might be underdogs, but their attack is spear-headed by Mohammed Al-Sahlawi. He scored a record 16 goals during qualification.
Egypt and Uruguay are the other two teams. Egypt takes with them an in-form Mohamed Salah, to Russia. Uruguay will have to rely on the attacking talents of Cavani and Suarez.
