The Group stages are over and it’s time to see how accurate our experts were.
Of the eight groups, we picked the correct qualifiers just three times, with us getting Groups B and H 100% correct.
In the other five groups, we got at least one qualifier correct although in only one of those did we predict the correct group winner.
