The European Football Championship will be held in Germany from June 14 to July 14, 2024. A total of 24 teams participated in this European Cup, which was divided into six groups. The top two teams in each group and the third team in the four best teams were promoted to the last 16, and then the elimination match was held to finally decide the champion. So, which teams are expected to win the championship? Let's analyze the strength and promotion path of each group.

Group A: Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland. The top seed of this group is the host Germany, which has a strong team and home advantage and is one of the hot spots to win the European Cup.

The German team easily advanced with a record of 7 wins and 1 draw in the qualifying match. Their offensive firepower and defense are solid, and they have world-class players such as Neuer, Cross, Gnabri, and Havitz, as well as a group of promising young players.

Germany coach Joachim Loew has announced that he will step down after this European Cup. He certainly hopes to take a champion as a farewell gift. The biggest opponent of the German team is Switzerland. They also came out of the qualifying match with an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 3 draws. Although their lineup does not have major players, they have good team cooperation and tactical execution, and have players of great strength, such as Shakiri, Zaka, and Sevrovic.

The coach of the Swiss team, Petikovic, is an experienced coach. He once led the Swiss team to reach the last 16 of the European Cup in 2016 and the World Cup in 2018. His goal is to lead the Swiss team to create history and reach the last eight of the European Cup or even higher.

Scotland and Hungary are the weak teams in this group. Their strength and experience are not as good as those of Germany and Switzerland. Their prospects for qualification are not very good unless they can get cold feet in key games.

Scotland ranked third in the group with a record of 5 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses in the qualifiers, and then eliminated Israel and Serbia through the play offs, returning to the stage of the European Cup after 23 years. Clark, the coach of Scotland, is a coach who pays attention to defense. His team is characterized by tenacious defence and fast counter attack. It has such good players as Robertson, McKinley and Dix. Their goal is to prove themselves in the European Cup and surprise fans.

Hungary ranked second in the group with a record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in the qualifiers, and then eliminated Bulgaria and Iceland through the play off, reaching the European Cup for the second time in a row. Rossi, the coach of the Hungarian team, is an Italian coach. His team is characterized by a compact formation and active fighting. It has players such as Gulac, Alban, and Sholoy who play in the German Bundesliga. Their goal is to try their best to fight in the European Cup and create trouble for their opponents.

Group B: Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania. The top seed of this group is Spain. They have won the European Cup for three times, and they are also one of the favourites to win the European Cup this year.

The Spanish team easily advanced with a record of 8 wins and 2 draws in the qualifiers. They have strong offensive and ball control abilities, world-class players such as De Gea, Ramos, Tiago, Morata, and a group of potential young players.

Enrique, the coach of the Spanish team, is a passionate and innovative coach. He once led Barcelona to win the Champions League. His goal is to lead the Spanish team back to the top of Europe and achieve the quadruple of the European Cup.

The biggest opponent of the Spanish team is Italy. They have won 10 games in the qualifying match, creating the best record in the history of the national team. Their defense and attack have excellent performance, and they have such excellent players as Donaruma, Chiellini, Villatti, Imobile and so on.

Mancini, the coach of the Italian team, is an experienced coach. He once led Inter Milan to win the Champions League. His goal is to lead the Italian team to regain its momentum and win the second championship of the European Cup.

Croatia and Albania are the weak teams in this group. Their strength and experience are not as good as those of Spain and Italy. Their prospects for qualification are not very good unless they can get cold feet in key games.

Croatia barely advanced with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the qualifiers. Although their lineup has world-class players such as Modric, Lakitic and Perrisic, their state and condition have declined, and their defense and physical ability are also lacking.

Dalic, the coach of the Croatian team, is an attacking coach. He once led the Croatian team to the final of the 2018 World Cup, creating the best result in the history of the national team.
