Euro 2020

[Realest]

My Predictions for the Qualification:

Group A:

is the clear Runaway-Favourite, but beside this it will be a 4-Horse-Race for Rank 2. s glorious Times are over, so I think (mayyyyyybee even ) might be the biggest Winner of the allocationdraw. is in the race as well, but someone has to become last.

Group B:

should easily qualify here, but since often doesnt well at Qualifications, a Victory of is also possible. Imo 70/30 chances.
recovered after being the worst Team of Euro 2016 and the horrible WC18-Quali, but overall it shoudnt be enough to qualify. >>> right now.

Group C: ::ulst

Maybe I am in a Minority, but I think we beat our Neighbours. But even if not, I cant see ::ulst beating anyone of us 2. Im looking forward to meat , its probably the only Team in Europe (except the newer Countries like etc..) we have never won against (2:2 at our only match). Our last Match vs is also 79 years ago.

Group D: ::gibr

should win overall, but is also in topform right now. has small chances, but should become only 3rd. Maybe can do 1-2 Surprises, but it shouldnt be enough to qualify.

Group E:

Everything else than a croatian Victory would be a surprise. vs is 50/50. wont come in the near of Qualification.

Group F:

Very strong Group, probably the Group of Death. and should do it, although and have a good run at the moment and played good Nationleague-Matches.

Group G:

The weakest Group. is the biggest winner of the Allocation since its impossible not to qualify. I still think will do it, but is also ok at the moment.

Group H:

The Pots and the overall Results should be the same in the End. s Glorious Times are over, but they are lucky to meet the weakest turkish Team in this century and also s short Momentum after 2015-2016 is over.

Group I:

Here Pots and overall Results should be the same as well. I expect at least 28 Points for (maybe a draw in )

Group J:

A strong Group. I think its 60/40 between and . >> despite the Nationsleague.

Found two Euro 2020 threads, but I go with the first one then.

As always I get a total nerd when these kind of draws is made, so as usual, I do my research in how the groups would end if the last home and away games were counted. I have used the soccerway head-to-head-search, to find those matches. If no matches could be found I have used this football match randomizer (with an advantage for the higher ranked team) to get a full result in all the groups. For the playoff I just taken the most recent match between the two, if it ends a tie, I take the 2nd match (or randomize if no more exist).

You could find the whole group results here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-iNt2dklsnxAsUwLkkYkupQeC9aJa5ssK1vVTaZxDN8/edit?usp=sharing
But if you like just to see which 24 countries would qualify, then it is in alphabetical order in the spoiler below.

 

[blue00eyes]

Lucky draw for tbh, we have chances.

 

[EscGeek]

after 2018 disaster i can't really count on top 2, (poland and austria are the favorites), but we have a good draw
while watching the draw, i was hoping for group A,G or H and i got G

 

[Citelis]

We (Greece) have no hopes actually! We will get 4th or 5th place! I'm not even sure if we will be able to win Armenia and Liechtnestein!

Turkey is lucky i think and they can qualify easily! I don't think that Albania or Iceland can get the 2nd place!
Poland very lucky too!
Fyrom won't qualify via this group but they can qualify via Nations League play-offs for League D after this qualifications are over!
I believe that Wales will qualify too!

 

[GianlucaTomoe]

Isn't there a flag for Northern Ireland, instead of using the flag for Ulster?

 

[lucian-crusher]

Group F:

We are screwed!

 

[ShoeFlo]

Gosh, what a fluke for us again...I wish we actually would have get punished for our bad performances and get some tough group and now it is only the Netherlands which are among the weaker teams of Pot 1
Moreover, this group is totally uninteresting. Northern Ireland we faced in the last qualification campaign already and apart of their fans there isnt anything interesting about the team. Belarus for me is a very boring opponent. Estonia is kinda okay, we didnt play them for a long time and I think they actually try to play football instead of standing in the box with 11 players for 90 minutes

My fav team Iceland can be very happy about the draw! Sure, France will dominate this group without any problems, but then there is Turkey, a team Iceland has always look very good against. Actually we beat the shit out of them a couple of times so I hope we keep it up. Albania is a very tough and tricky team which has also improved a lot within the last 5, 6 years. But still Iceland should have more individual quality in the first eleven and a better chemistry. Moldova havent been winning a match for ages apart of two (close!) wins against San Marino. Andorra is crap.
Hope Iceland gets the 2nd place and qualifies for the Euro a second time

Macedonia got an easy group. I think they can do a top2 if they play well and smart. The starting order is great as we start with Latvia home (team that is broken down) and would be a nice chance to top the group, then following away game in Slovenia that has had a disappointing campaign in the League of Nations (also the new coach won't be able to change things so soon, so this is a plus and we have a positive record against them). Great thing is that during the hot June we have Poland and Austria at home. All in all, a very good draw and a pretty good starting order!
In terms of chance, 5 countries will contest for the top 2 spots. I am glad Latvia is in our group as I think they may take some points from our opponents.

I will speak to you in two losses.

A:
England is normally the best. Kosovo and Montenegro are tough, but in the end the Czechs still qualify and Bulgaria will get third. Kosovo has more potential that Montenegro. But will it be enough to beat Czechia now?

B:
I'm agreeing with realest on Luxemburg vs. Lithuania. Portugal, Ukraine and Serbia will end within 6 points from each other. See it as a Nations League group. Thanks to Serbia this group is difficult to qualify from.

C: ::ulst
Even with 15 points Netherlands and Germany are going to qualify, the rest will already lose points to each other. Only if Belarus or Northern Ireland can win all their matches against Estonia and each other, this can get interesting, but that will not happen. Germany will lose twice against the Netherlands, they will be the surprise winners of the Nations League.

D: ::gib
I may see Denmark and Switzerland switch places in this group. But I don't see Ireland win against Switzerland. It's a pity, cause they finally host Euro games, they may get a chance via play off's but even that is probably tough.

E:
Here also two nations who are going to host, but probably not themselves. Azerbaijan is just to weak to succeed, and they didn't reached the play off's. Hungary has a small chance, but they probably will get play off's. Croatia is probably strong enough, if they don't underestimate their opponents. Wales and Slovakia will fight for 2nd.

F:
Romania is going to be the surprise qualifier from this group. You have to bring some surprises right? Sweden will qualify via the Play off's. Norway probably not.

G:
Slovenia has some good players and a new coach. And I don't feel Austria has a good team(they have good players though...). But this can go five or maybe even six ways, cause this is a good draw for every team. Macedonia is my 2nd favorite for League D qualification after Kosovo.

H:
The Iceland time is over dear friends. They will end where they belong: 5th in this group. France will qualify easily. Turkey will have some difficult games against Albania.

I:
Belgium still should easily overcome this group, but if there isn't a better coach, they will not get further then the QF in the next Euro's probably even last 16. Russia will be way stronger than Scotland.

J:
I heard someone saying that Greece is not going to qualify. I think Greece is going to qualify. You've had to many bad years now, so a good year should come soon.

Play off's D:

qualifies. other finalist will probably be
Kosovo has given me the best impressions. It would be 'funny' if for instance Macedonia qualifies luckily out of their group Luxembourg comes in and also qualifies, but this scenario has the highest chances.

Play off's C:

qualifies.
Serbia is the best team of these four other finalist will probably be

Play off's B:

qualifies
Sweden is the best team of these four other finalist will probably be

Play off's A:
::ulst
qualifies other finalist is probably .
(this is quite trolling though for teams like and .)

 

[njdevils94]

I think Group G could be wide open bar who will probably finish bottom.

 

[Realest]

No Surprise yesterday except maybe s 3:0 vs

 

[Citelis]

Get ready! Big match tomorrow!
Also im curious to see what will happen in the match between and today!

 

[njdevils94]

Get ready! Big match tomorrow!

Can Greece score multiple goals in a match for once.

 

[Citelis]

Can Greece score multiple goals in a match for once.

Greece multiple goals in one match? :shock: No way! Anything more than 0-1 will be a surprise!

 

[DutchSuomiFan]

vs 4-0.

I'm glad we went 1-0 up very fast, otherwise things may have been a bit tough with Belarus refusing to attack. Up next we've got Germany. Can we beat Germany again?

I'm looking forward to tonight's match Italy vs Finland. Imagine Finland getting a result!

 

[Realest]

only 1:0 vs Gibraltar
Also with a surprising Loss vs
and won according to plan

 

[ShoeFlo]

Ugh, most boring qualifying day. Only wins for the favorite teams by 1 or 2 goals. only standard results... no team scored more than 2 at all.

Well, it is somehow surprising to see Gibraltar losing only by one goal. And Malta's win over Faroe Islands can be considered a little surprise, but not more than that.

Tomorrow should get better when we are facing the Dutch. We are certainly underdogs tomorrow but we can win if we get rolling and if the right players are gonna start.

Others match look boring as fuck.. Hungary vs Croatia might be interesting. Israel vs Austria might be a key match in the fight for the second place in that group.

 

[Citelis]

defeated with 2 goals! However Liechtenstein is very weak to opponent and against Bosnia and Hergegovina will be very difficult and we are more likely to lose.

 

[Gabe]

Finland could qualify from that group. They were OK against Italy, and everyone else in the group looks terrible.
