According to the CCTV5 program list (January 9, 2024), the Euro 2024 qualifiers have entered the final sprint stage. The 53 teams will end the competition for the group match in November this year and strive to get tickets to the finals. According to the rules, the top two of the 10 groups will be promoted directly, and the other three places will be selected through the play off in March 2024. Then, under such promotion rules, which strong teams may fail to qualify for the finals? Let's analyze it.
First of all, let's take a look at the current situation of the group match. Among the 10 groups, 6 groups have emerged as leaders. They are Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Croatia, Poland and Belgium. They have all led their own groups with full success, basically locking in the number of qualified teams. In addition, there are still four groups that have not yet won the championship. They are Scotland, France, Austria and Denmark. They all have strong opponents. They need to do their best in the last few rounds to ensure their advantages.
Secondly, let's take a look at the difficulty of the current group match. Of the 10 groups, 3 groups were considered dead, namely Group B, Group C and Group D. Group B includes the Netherlands, France, Ireland, Greece and Gibraltar, of which the Netherlands and France are the favourites to win the European Cup, Ireland and Greece are also good teams, and Gibraltar is a weak team. Group C includes Italy, England, Ukraine, Macedonia and Malta. Italy and England are traditionally strong teams in the European Cup, Ukraine and Macedonia are also rising teams in recent years, and Malta is a weak team. Group D includes Croatia, Wales, Armenia, Turkey and Latvia, among which Croatia was the runner up of the last World Cup, Wales and Turkey were also regular visitors of the European Cup, and Armenia and Latvia were strong teams.
Finally, let's take a look at the suspense of the current group match. Among the 10 groups, the second place of 7 groups has not yet been determined. They are Scotland, France, England, Wales, Austria, Denmark and Portugal. They all have different levels of competitors. They need to strive to achieve good results in the last few rounds of competition to keep their hopes for qualification. Among them, Group B and Group C are the most suspenseful because there are two strong teams competing for the second place in these two groups, namely France and Ireland, England and Ukraine. Their direct dialogue will determine their fate.
To sum up, we can predict which strong teams may fail the finals. According to the current situation, we believe that the strongest teams most likely to miss the finals are France, England, Wales, Ukraine and Turkey. These teams all have strong opponents, and their qualification situation is not very optimistic. They need to do their best in the last few rounds of the game to get a chance to qualify. If they cannot win the first two places in the group match, they can only hope in the play off, but the competition in the play off is also very fierce, and their promotion is also very difficult.
Of course, this is just our analysis and prediction. The real result depends on the team's performance and luck. We hope that all the teams can display their own level, show their own style, and bring wonderful games and wonderful experiences to the fans.
