According to CCTV5, the European Cup group match is about to enter the final round, and the fate of each team's promotion will be decided in this round. This article will introduce which teams are expected to be promoted and how to calculate the group ranking.

The competition system of the European Cup is as follows: 24 teams are divided into six groups, with four teams in each group. The top two teams in each group and the third team with four best results will enter the knockout phase. This competition system makes every game full of suspense and variables, and the calculation method of group ranking is the key factor to determine each team's promotion or exit.

The calculation method of group ranking is as follows: first, according to the point ranking of each team in the group match, if the points are the same, then compare them in the following order: the number of net goals, the total number of goals, the points against the teams with the same points, the number of net goals, the total number of goals, the points for fair competition (the number of red and yellow cards), and the ranking of UEFA national teams. If none of the above comparisons can be made, the ranking will be determined by drawing lots. The team ranked third in the group shall be compared in the following order: points, goal difference, total goals, fair competition points, and UEFA national team ranking. If none of the above comparisons can be made, the ranking will be determined by drawing lots.

At present, eight of the four groups that have finished their group matches have been confirmed for qualification, namely, Italy and Switzerland in Group A, Belgium and Denmark in Group B, Netherlands and Austria in Group C, England and Croatia in Group D. Among them, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands all won the first place in the group with three victories, while England won the first place in the group with two wins and one draw. Switzerland, Denmark, Austria and Croatia all won the second place in the group with two wins and one loss. The opponents of these eight teams will be determined after the results of Group E and Group F.

In addition, four teams have been determined to be out, namely Turkey in Group A, Russia in Group B, Northern Macedonia in Group C and Scotland in Group D. These four teams only got zero or one point and were not eligible for the knockout match. Their performance also let the fans feel disappointed and regretful.

Of the remaining 12 teams, four have locked in at least the third place, namely Sweden and Slovakia in Group E, France and Germany in Group F. As long as these four teams do not lose in the last round of the game, they can ensure the top two positions in the group. If they lose, they are also very likely to advance to the third place in the group, because their points and goal difference are higher than those of the third place in other groups.

There are also eight teams with a very complicated situation, namely Spain and Poland in Group E, Portugal, Hungary, England and Croatia in Group F. These eight teams need to make every effort in the last round to win, or at least remain unbeaten, in order to be expected to advance. If they lose, their chances of promotion will be very slim, or even eliminated.

In order to more intuitively show the progress of these teams, we can use tables to compare their remaining matches and the strength of their opponents. As follows:
