Unbeaten in their World Cup qualifying campaign so far, La Albiceleste have improved defensively and found a way to win some tricky fixtures. Impressive victories against Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador have propelled Argentina to the second spot in the South American World Cup qualifiers table.
With impressive attacking talent at their disposal, Argentina will be counting on the likes of Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martinez and Lucas Ocampos to spearhead their challenge and guide them back to their glory days once again.
#6 Spain | Points: 1645
The youthful Spain side under Luis Enrique is building something special and could soon rival the classic 2008-2012 Spanish team if they continue developing rapidly.
With exciting youngsters like Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, and Adama Traore breaking through, the Spain national team has a fresh look about it and has put in some extremely impressive performances in the last few months.
La Roja booked their place in the UEFA Nations League final 4 with a statement 6-0 victory over Germany. Having the right mix of youth and experience, Spain will be looking to build on their solid performances and win a major trophy, either in the Euros or the UEFA Nations League.
#5 Portugal | Points: 1662
Portugal might have missed out on a spot in the final 4 of the UEFA Nations League narrowly to France, but with Cristiano Ronaldo still firing on all cylinders, they are capable of beating any team on their day.
Blessed with an amazing array of attacking talent in the form of Joao Felix, Diogo Jota, Bruno Fernandes and not to mention the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Santos' men will be quietly confident of making a huge impact and defending their Euro 2016 crown next summer.
With the midfield and attack combing nicely and the defense proving to be miserly, Fernando Santos' men will be hoping to climb higher up the rankings in 2021.
#4 England | Points: 1669
England have always flattered to deceive in the big tournaments. However, Gareth Southgate's men have shown some grit and have an uncanny ability of grinding out results.
With some impressive talent coming through, England have good squad depth and multiple options for every position. Led by one of the best strikers in modern football in Harry Kane, England have been reasonably consistent in the past year, racking up wins against the likes of Iceland, Wales and Belgium.
Gareth Southgate still has around 6 months time to decide his best team and he will definitely be keeping a close eye on the likes of Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Kalvin Phillips and Mason Greenwood before heading to the Euros.
