According to CCTV5 program list (January 13, 2024), the European Cup qualifiers have entered the final round, of which the most striking is the competition among the top three in Group F, with France, Germany and Portugal in the same group. Who can break through?

These three teams are traditional powers in European football, with many world-class players, such as France's Mbape, Germany's Havetz, Portugal's Ronaldo, etc. Their performance in the qualifiers is also quite excellent, with 15 points accumulated at present, but there is a difference between the goal difference and the number of goals. France ranks first with a goal difference of+16, Germany ranks second with a goal difference of+14, and Portugal ranks third with a goal difference of+12.

According to the European Cup qualifying rules [^ 1 ^] [1], the first two of each group can directly qualify for the European Cup finals, and the third of the four groups with the best results can also be promoted. Therefore, the top three teams in Group F have great hopes to qualify, but their opponents should not be underestimated. France will play Hungary away, Germany will play Poland at home, and Portugal will play Romania away. All three games will be played at the same time on January 14.

In order to more intuitively display the qualification situation of Group F, we use tables to compare the data of these three teams, as shown below:

As can be seen from the table, France has an advantage in the net goal and the number of goals. As long as it does not lose to Hungary, it can lock the first place in the group. Germany and Portugal need to compete for the second place in the group. If their scores are the same, it depends on who scores more goals. If the scores are the same, it depends on the result of the competition. Germany defeated Portugal 2-1 in the previous match, so Germany has the upper hand. Of course, if they all lose, it depends on whether the third place of other groups can be ranked among the best four.

In a word, the qualification situation of Group F is very complicated, and the result of any game may affect the final ranking. These three teams all have strong strength and solid foundation. They are all eager to make a difference in the European Cup, but there are only two places. Who can break through, and who will regret losing. Let's wait and see.
