According to CCTV5 program list (February 28, 2024), the European Cup group match has entered the final round, and the qualification situation of each group is becoming increasingly clear. So, how is the ranking calculated in the European Cup group matches? What is the qualification standard of the four best and third places? Now, let's answer these questions for you.
There are six groups in the European Cup group match. Each group has four teams. Each team plays a game with the other three teams in the same group. Each game wins 3 points, draws 1 point, and loses 0 point. After the group game, the first two teams of each group will directly advance to the knockout stage, while the third team of each group will be compared according to the following order to select four best third teams and enter the knockout stage together with the first two teams of the group game:
- Points are the sum of the points of each team. The higher the points, the higher the team ranks.
- The goal difference is the number of goals scored by each team minus the number of goals conceded. The team with more goals difference ranks higher.
- The total number of goals is the sum of the goals of each team. The team with more total goals ranks higher.
- The score of fair competition refers to the number of red cards and yellow cards of each team. The red card will be deducted by 3 points, and the yellow card will be deducted by 1 point. The higher the score of fair competition, the higher the ranking of the team.
- The ranking of UEFA national teams is the position of each team in the ranking of UEFA national teams. The higher the ranking, the higher the ranking.
According to this rule, let's take a look at the data comparison of the third team in each group. In order to better display the data, we have made the following table to compare the data of the third team in each group. It can be seen from the table that Turkey in Group A, Finland in Group B, Ukraine in Group C, Czech in Group D, Sweden in Group E and Portugal in Group F are all likely to become the best third team at present, but the specific results will not be determined until the end of the last round of competition.
