The October matches will bring us one step closer to the end of the qualifying tournament for the European Football Championship 2024. We will tell you about the situations in the groups right now. But first, please support us by liking and subscribing to terrikon.com channel on Youtube.
In Group A, the Scottish team has a 100% result. And the only match in October that the leader will play will be a trip to Spain. For the hosts, this is an opportunity to take revenge for their defeat in Glasgow. Plus, the Spaniards need to keep in mind that they have an equally important match with the Norwegian national team ahead. For Erling Haaland and his team, this is, in fact, the last chance to compete for a ticket to Euro 2024.
In Group B, the match between the Netherlands and France attracts attention. The situation is similar here. Vice-champions mupa have five wins from five matches in their only match of the October session. A positive result will practically guarantee the French a trip to Euro 2024. And the Netherlands are waiting for a trip to Greece, where it is also important not to lose.
In group C everything is very clear. Ukraine needs to score six points in matches with North Macedonia and Malta. Given the personnel losses, this will not be easy. Let us remind you that Andrei Yarmolenko and Viktor Tsygankov were injured and will not be able to play. Be that as it may, two October victories are extremely necessary for Sergei Rebrov’s team. And besides, we will root for England in the confrontation with Italy. A defeat for the current European champions would not hurt us.
In Group D there is a key match ahead, in which the Croats will host the Turkish national team. Most likely, these teams will take the first two places and win tickets to Euro 2024. Theoretically, the Armenian national team can intervene in this fight. But first, Alexander Petrakov’s team needs to win in Latvia.
In Group E, the Polish national team has a critical situation. Because of her, the Poles fired Fernanda Santos and appointed Michal Pr(o)bez as head coach. In addition, the injured Robert Lewandowski will not play in the October matches. The situation is further complicated by the fact that it is not enough for the Poles to win on their own. We need to count on misfires from direct competitors – the national teams of Albania and the Czech Republic.
In Group F, everything can be decided in the match between Belgium and Sweden. If the guests lose, they will have no chance to catch up with the leaders. This means that Belgium and Austria can win tickets to Euro 2024 as early as October. Well, their head-to-head match also promises to be interesting.
In Group G we will see the second part of the confrontation between the national teams of Hungary and Serbia. In the September match in Belgrade, the Hungarians celebrated their victory, which allowed them to take the lead. Now they are waiting for the Serbian national team for a return visit. The Montenegro team still retains some chances, but to do this it needs to beat both the Serbs and the Hungarians. Moreover, visiting. Which, frankly speaking, is unlikely.
In Group H, the density of teams is such that almost every match can be called a key one. The only outside observers in this fight for tickets are the teams of Northern Ireland and San Marino. The rest of the chances are also not equal. For example, the Kazakhstan national team will have three away matches against direct competitors at the finish line. And, let’s say, Denmark has a slightly simpler calendar, which means the chances are higher.
Due to events in Israel, the match between the national teams of Israel and Switzerland in Group I has been postponed to November 15. So the leader will have a busy finish in a month, but for now he needs to take his three points in the match with the Belarusians. The Romanian national team also faces maximum challenges. Six points in two October matches is what will help the Romanians maintain their advantage in the fight for one of the tickets to Euro 2024.
Finally, Group J. A difficult series awaits the Slovak team. Firstly, they need to try to pick up some points in Portugal. And secondly, to unhook the competitor in the person of the Luxembourg national team. Whether the Slovaks need to set priorities or, as coaches like to say, solve problems from match to match is a debatable question. Although outside help is not excluded, it is not yet known how the Luxembourg team’s trip to Iceland will end.
