According to CCTV5 program list, UEFA recently announced the rules for qualifying in the 2024 European Cup group match, which is also the most complicated one in history. This European Cup will involve 24 teams, divided into six groups. The first two teams in each group and the third of the four best teams will be qualified for the knockout phase.
So, how to decide which team is the third best team in the group? UEFA gives the following order: points, goal difference, goals, fair play scores, UEFA rankings. If two or more teams are the same in all the above indicators, the number of qualified teams will be determined by drawing lots.
What does it mean to score a fair game? This refers to the number of red and yellow cards of the team in the group match. The red card will be deducted by 3 points, and the yellow card will be deducted by 1 point. The less the better. The UEFA ranking is calculated based on the team's performance in the European Cup qualifiers and UEFA. The higher the better.
At present, the European Cup qualifiers have gone through 6 rounds, and there are still 4 rounds left. According to the current integration situation, we can see some interesting phenomena. For example, France, Germany, Portugal and Hungary in Group F are called the "group of death", but their third group is likely to be promoted because their points and goal difference are high. Turkey, Wales and Switzerland in Group A may face fierce competition because their points and goal difference are low.
In order to let you have a more intuitive understanding of the qualification situation of each group, we have made the following table, which shows the current points, goal difference, goals and fair play scores of each group, as well as their UEFA rankings. The colors in the table represent their outgoing probabilities. Green means very large, yellow means average, and red means very small.
