Now let's give you a brief introduction to the qualification rules of the European Cup and the latest situation of the group matches.
First of all, the rules of European Cup qualification are as follows: the first two of each group and the third of the four best groups will be qualified for the knockout stage. If there are teams in the group with the same points, the teams that qualify will be determined in the following order: winning/losing relationship>goal difference>goal>fair competition score>UEFA ranking. If the above ranking cannot be determined, the points ranking shall be determined by bilateral lottery.

Group A has identified two teams that will qualify, namely Italy and Wales, who will compete for the first place in the group in the last round. Turkey and Switzerland have no chance to qualify and can only strive for a victory to end their trip to the European Cup.
The situation in Group B is complicated. Belgium has already qualified ahead of schedule, and Denmark, Finland and Russia all have hopes of qualification. Denmark is currently at the bottom of the table, but if they can beat Russia in the last round, they may qualify as second or third in the group, depending on the result of another game. If Finland can defeat Belgium, it can go straight through. If it draws or loses, it depends on the result and goal difference of the match between Denmark and Russia.
