As we have just witnessed the penultimate round of games from the Euro 2020 qualifiers, we are now seeing the final positions take shape. However, despite the likes of Italy and Belgium qualifying with room to spare, there is still some business to attend to. Here is what to look forward to in the final games in November:
Group A: England in the Driving Seat
England all but qualified for Euro 2020 thanks to the 6-0 win under the shadow of racist chants in Bulgaria. The Three Lions are now 9/2 second favourites with 888sport to win the championship next summer. Kosovo and Czech Republic will fight it out for the other qualifying spot in a crunch match in 14th November.
Group B: Ukraine Through, Ronaldo’s 700th Strike
Ukraine have been crowned as surprise winners of Group B, after winning a match against Portugal in which Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 700th career goal. Portugal’s remaining fixtures should be easy enough to hold off Serbia from the second place.
Group C: Germany and Netherlands March On
It was always going to be a herculean task for Northern Ireland to qualify from Group C, given the inclusion of Germany and Netherlands. Those two will take the top two spots, undoubtedly, but the Northern Irish still have an outside chance. They’ll have to get results against the top two, however.
Group D: Down to the Wire
If you are looking for some exciting live betting online on the final round of qualifiers, then look no further than Group D. Ireland have remained top all throughout the campaign, but they must now beat Denmark at home to have a chance. Switzerland must not slip up against Georgia and Gibraltar: It’s all to play for.
Group E: Croatia Have Done Just Enough
Croatia will likely have done enough to scrape through as group winners, and they should get the job done at home to Slovakia. However, an exciting finish looks in store as Slovakia and Hungary grab second spot. Hungary look to be in pole position, but they have a tricky game in Cardiff against Wales to finish.
Group F: Spanish Through, De Gea Injury
Spain did enough in Sweden to secure a draw and all but guarantee top spot in Group F. However, there was the sad sight of watching David De Gea limp off with injury, a big blow to his struggling club side Manchester United. Romania and Sweden have a crunch match on 15th November which should determine top spot.
Group G: Poland Through, Austria Nearly There
Poland will be going to the Euro 2020 finals, and Austria look very likely to clinch second spot at least in Group G. It’s difficult to see either side letting up next month, but credit should go to Israel, Slovenia and North Macedonia, all of whom made the group very competitive.
Group H: Fabulous Turkey on Top
Turkey are no 13/20 favourites to top Group H ahead of the world champions France. They held the French to a 1-1 draw in Paris, and look like they will head the group, provided they don’t slip up against Iceland and Andorra.
Group I: Perfect Belgium, Russian Revolution
8 games, 8 victories, 30 goals scored and 1 conceded: Belgium are superb, and something of a steal 7/1 to win Euro 2020. Russia have also booked second spot with little effort.
Group J: Italy March On
Italy have seen some marked improvement since Roberto Mancini took the reins last spring. They have a 100% record, and really look to have an exciting young team coming through. Finland will be joining them, and it will be the Finn’s first ever major tournament.
