According to CCTV5 program list (January 24, 2024), the European Cup group match has gone through two rounds, and four teams have locked their qualification in advance, namely, Italy in Group A, Belgium in Group B, Netherlands in Group C and England in Group D. These four teams are all the favourites to win the European Cup, and their performance in the group match is also very excellent. They have won all two games, scored many goals and not conceded goals. They can easily cope with the last round of the game, and even rotate the lineup to prepare for the knockout match.
For other groups, the situation of qualification is still complex and intense. The first place of some groups has not been determined, the number of qualification places of some groups has not been allocated, and the teams of some groups still have the hope of turning the tables. In the last round of the game, these teams will try their best to get the best results and enter the knockout phase. The following is the qualification situation of each group and the arrangement of the last round of competition:
Group A: The Italian team has already qualified ahead of schedule and locked the first place in the group. They will play against the Welsh team in the last round. The latter has also qualified ahead of schedule, but has not yet confirmed the second place in the group. Switzerland and Turkey have not qualified yet. They will fight for life and death in the last round. The winner is expected to be the third in the group and the loser will be out.
Group B: Belgium has already qualified ahead of time and locked the first place in the group. They will play Finland in the last round.
