Standing table group A, B, C, D, E, F, G AND H .
Preparations for Russia have been far from ideal since qualifying for a fifth World Cup, with two coaches fired.
Edgardo Bauza was dismissed nine days before the draw after only five friendlies in charge. The team lost to Portugal and Bulgaria last month.
Bauza had been appointed in September to replace Bert van Marwijk, who was fired despite leading the team to their first World Cup since 2006.
Juan Antonio Pizzi, who took over the job in November, is tasked with improving on Saudi Arabia’s best performance at World Cup – the second-round exit to Sweden at the 1994 tournament in the United States.
