Germany have been installed as favourites for this year's competition, albeit with Portugal and Chile also both hotly tipped.
All three teams are ranked in FIFA's top ten. But hosts Russia are plumbing new depths, falling as far as 63 in the latest update.
European teams, so dominant in the World Cup in recent times, have not often thrived in the Confederations Cup, with France (twice) and Denmark the only victors from the UEFA pool.
Brazil have won the past three Confederations Cup titles.
