EURO 2024 Qualification: Match Outcomes, Standings, and Upcoming Matches | Schedules for England, Wales, Scotland, Republic of Ireland, and Northern Ireland”

England’s Euro 2024 Qualification Path

England on the Verge of Euro 2024 Qualification

The path to Euro 2024 in Germany continues, with pivotal matches unfolding this month. England stands on the cusp of securing their place at the tournament with a crucial fixture on the horizon.

England’s Qualification Scenario

How England Can Qualify

England is set to face Italy at Wembley on Tuesday, with a kick-off scheduled for 7:45 pm. A win or even a draw in this match will guarantee their berth at Euro 2024 next summer. Currently, the Three Lions sit three points ahead of Italy and Ukraine at the summit of Group C. The qualification journey for Gareth Southgate’s squad concludes with a home clash against Malta on November 17, followed by an away match in North Macedonia three days later.

Qualification Overview

Qualification Format for Euro 2024

For Euro 2024, two teams, the group winners and runners-up, will qualify directly from each of the ten groups. Additionally, three more teams will earn their spots via play-offs, involving 12 teams selected based on their performance in the recent Nations League. It’s important to note that Germany, as the host nation, has an automatic qualification.

Scotland and Republic of Ireland’s Qualification Status

Scotland’s Qualification Success

In Group A, Scotland has successfully secured their spot in Euro 2024 after Norway was unable to defeat Spain, making it mathematically impossible for Steve Clarke’s side to be overtaken by both Group A rivals. With an impressive record of five wins in their first six matches, Spain’s 1-0 victory over Norway further strengthened their qualification, leading Group A on goal difference.

Republic of Ireland’s Challenging Journey

The Republic of Ireland’s hopes of automatic qualification from Group B have been dashed. However, Stephen Kenny’s team could still potentially qualify for the tournament through the play-offs, though their poor Nations League ranking makes that prospect appear unlikely. Ireland’s recent performances included a home defeat to Greece and a 4-0 victory over Gibraltar, but they remain in the bottom half of Group B.

Group C and Group D Standings

England’s Group C Situation

England is on the verge of qualification in Group C, and the outcome of the match against Italy will be crucial. Depending on the results, the table could read: England 14 (P6), Ukraine 13 (P7), and Italy 11 (P6). Italy and Ukraine have their final game against each other, making it a pivotal match for qualification.

Group D’s Qualifiers

Group D witnessed Turkey qualifying after a commanding 4-0 victory over Latvia. In contrast, Croatia slipped to third place, falling behind Wales, after a 2-1 defeat, with Harry Wilson scoring twice.

Group E, Group F, and Group G Updates

Group E in Balance

In Group E, a penalty from West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek secured a 1-0 victory for the Czech Republic over the Faroe Islands. However, Poland’s 1-1 draw against Moldova has kept the group’s balance, with both teams in contention for qualification.

Austria and Belgium Progress

Austria secured their spot in Euro 2024 with a 1-0 victory over Azerbaijan, moving level on points with leaders Belgium. Sweden, with three games left and six points, is unable to catch the top two. Belgium’s win over Austria and the abandoned match with Sweden put them in a strong position.

Hungary’s Destiny in Their Hands

Group G has Hungary leading, and their destiny is under their control. A victory against Lithuania on the same evening as Serbia’s match against Montenegro could send Hungary to Germany.

Group H, Group I, and Group J Developments

Northern Ireland’s Hopes

Northern Ireland’s automatic qualification chances from Group H took a hit after Slovenia and Denmark secured victories. However, they still maintain a slim hope of reaching the finals through the play-offs.

Belarus’ Hopes Dashed

In Group I, Belarus’ hopes of a top-two finish were crushed after Switzerland’s late goals secured a 3-3 draw. Belarus can no longer automatically qualify for Euro 2024.

Portugal’s Qualification

Group J witnessed Portugal’s qualification for Euro 2024, with a 3-2 victory over Slovakia. Their dominant record in the group stage continued with a 5-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Slovakia is in a strong second place with a five-point cushion.

Play-Off Scenario

Play-Off Format

The play-offs will feature the 12 teams that won their Nations League groups. However, if any of these teams qualify directly via their qualifying group, their play-off spot will be given to the next-highest-placed team in their Nations League group that didn’t secure a spot in Euro 2024.

Play-Off Structure

The play-offs will comprise three paths, each with four teams. They will feature single-leg semi-finals and a single-leg final, ensuring one team from each path advances to the finals. The draw for the play-offs is scheduled for November.

Tournament Details

When and Where Is Euro 2024?

The opening game is slated for June 14, with the final scheduled for July 14 at the Olympiastadion, Berlin.
