Guinea in Pot 2

The seed lines for the final stage of the World Cup draw in Africa have been determined and Guinea are in the second seed line putting them in Pot 2. That was to be expected due to Guinea’s relatively high Fifa ranking among African nations. The luxury of being in Pot 2 means Guinea will not have to face Morocco, Tunisia or Mali. Unfortunately they also cannot draw Algeria who are overseeded based on their form this decade. Here are the complete Pot listings:

Pot 1: Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana and Nigeria
Pot 2: Algeria, Guinea, Mali, Morocco and Tunisia
Pot 3: Benin, Burkina Faso, Gabon, Kenya and Zambia
Pot 4: Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sudan and Togo

I’ll have further analysis later in the week when I break down my preferences for who I want Guinea drawn with.
