According to CCTV5 program list (January 9, 2024), the European group match of the World Cup qualifier will usher in the final round of competition in the early morning of tomorrow, and 10 places for direct qualification and 12 places for play offs will be determined. At present, nine teams have locked the tickets for the finals in advance, including the hosts Germany, Spain, Scotland, France, England, Turkey, Belgium, Austria and Portugal. The remaining quota will be created between Italy and Ukraine in Group C, and the 12 play off teams will also emerge in the last round of competition.

In Group C, defending champion Italy is facing a life and death battle. They will challenge Ukraine away. Only by winning can they qualify directly, otherwise they will participate in the play off. The Italian team encountered many difficulties in this qualifying match. They lost in two matches against England, and were also drawn by Northern Macedonia. As a result, they only got 13 points in the group match, 3 points behind Ukraine. Ukraine is the dark horse of this qualifier. They only lost one game in the group match, that is, they lost 1-0 away to England. They won or drew in other games. Their defense and counterattack are very good, which caused a lot of trouble to their opponents. The direct confrontation between the two teams will be a tough battle, and the Italian team must show the best state to maintain the hope of qualifying.

In other groups, there are also some situations where the qualification situation is more complicated. In Group D, Croatia and Wales both scored 10 points, but since Croatia is dominant in the direct confrontation between the two teams, they can qualify as long as they defeat Armenia in the last round, while Wales should expect Turkey to make trouble for Croatia in the away game. In Group E, Albania, the Czech Republic and Moldova all have the possibility to qualify. Albania can qualify as long as it defeats Belarus, while the Czech Republic will challenge Moldova away. If it can win, it can surpass Albania, and Moldova will expect Belarus to cause trouble for Albania at home. In Group G, Serbia and Hungary have 10 points together. Serbia will play Montenegro at home and Hungary will play Bulgaria away. Both teams have the chance to qualify, but they should also be careful to be disturbed by Montenegro and Bulgaria. In Group I, Switzerland and Romania will compete for the place to qualify. Switzerland can qualify as long as it defeats Israel or Kosovo in the make-up match, while Romania should expect Switzerland to lose, and at the same time it can defeat Andorra in the last round.

In the fight for the play off, at present, six teams have confirmed their qualification, namely Italy, Scotland, Wales, Russia, Sweden and Northern Macedonia. They are all the top four teams in the final of the European League of Nations. Therefore, regardless of the results of the group match, they can all get seats in the play off. In addition, there are six places that will be determined by the results of the group match. At present, Ukraine, Croatia, Czech Republic, Serbia, Romania and Israel are more likely. Of course, there are also opportunities for other teams, such as Poland, Turkey and Austria. The draw for the play off will be held on November 27, when it will be divided into three groups, each group has four teams. The first round is a single elimination match between the seed team and the non seed team. The second round is a single elimination match between the winners. Finally, three teams will advance to the finals.
