According to CCTV5 program list (January 26, 2024), the European Cup group match is about to enter the final round. The qualification situation of each group is very complicated and intense. Many teams will try their best to advance to the next stage. So, what is the qualification rule of the European Cup group match? How is the group ranking calculated? Is there any hope for the three-point team to qualify? Now, let's analyze it for you.

First of all, the qualification rules of the European Cup group matches are as follows: the first two teams in each group will directly qualify and enter the last 16 knockout rounds. In addition, there are four best and third teams that can also qualify. Their identities will be determined according to the following criteria:

1. Group game points
2. Goal difference
3. Total goals
4. Fair competition points (red and yellow cards)
5. European ranking

If the above criteria are still unable to distinguish between the top and the bottom, the team will be selected by drawing lots.

Secondly, the group ranking of the European Cup group matches is calculated as follows: the teams in each group will be ranked according to the following criteria:

1. Group game points
2. Points in the group
3. Winning goal in group match
4. Total goals in the group
5. Group game goal difference
6. Total goals in group matches
7. Fair competition points (red and yellow cards)
8. European ranking

If the above criteria still cannot be distinguished, the ranking order will be determined by drawing lots.

Finally, do the three point teams in the European Cup group match hope to qualify? The answer is yes, but it depends on the situation of other groups. At present, the third team in two groups has decided to qualify. They are Finland in Group B and Ukraine in Group C, and they have all got three points. The third team of the other four groups still has a game to play, and their fate of qualifying is still uncertain. Next, let's take a look at their specific situation.

As can be seen from the table above, the Czech Republic in Group D has already obtained four points, and their chances of qualification are very high. As long as they do not lose to England, they can be sure of qualification. Slovakia in Group E also has three points, and their chances of qualification are not small. As long as they do not lose to Spain, they are hopeful of qualification. Switzerland in Group A and Hungary in Group F are less likely to qualify. They need to win the last game and rely on the results of other groups to qualify.

In short, the qualification rules and group ranking of the European Cup group matches have certain complexity, but also have certain rationality and fairness. We look forward to seeing more wonderful goals and fierce confrontation in the last round of the game, and wish all the teams can play their own level and show their own style!
