The groups of Euro 2021: All about the qualifying countries

We analyze in what situation each of the teams classified for Euro 2021 arrives and how they have been framed in each of the groups. We already know the groups of the next Eurocup 2021, which from next June 11 will measure the 24 best soccer teams on the Old Continent. At Marathonbet we continue to update the status of the groups to keep up to date with the preparations for the next Euro 2021, commenting on the most interesting forecasts. As you know, Euro 2021 is going to be peculiar in many ways, as UEFA celebrates 60 years of this competition. Therefore, there will be a total of twelve venues if the pandemic that is hitting the planet does not prevent it.

In total there will be 6 groups named from A to F in the next European Championship, each one made up of four teams whose composition we already know after the final playoffs and which replaced the previous repechage system.

More things to keep in mind. The group stage classification also has new features: from each group, the two best classified plus the four best third parties will go directly to the next round. In total, 16 teams (12 of the best classified plus 4 third parties) will face each other in the round of 16.

Final phase groups of Euro 2021: this is how each country arrives

With all the theory of classification already learned, let's see now how the draw has distributed the different teams for the group stage and how each of the classified countries arrives, in which, by the way, the usual group is not lacking. of the death from which Spain has escaped, which has been framed in group E with Poland, Sweden, and Slovakia. Das könnte Sie auch interessieren EM 2021 wetten



GROUP A: the new Italy in the group of unknowns

Italy: the Azur team arrives with a very young team, but with the advantage of being one of the host countries. It was classified as first in a weak group, and although as we say it does not arrive with its best generation in this Euro, the mixture of veteran players like Bonucci or Immobile together with the youth of the Chiesa or Bernardeschi make them, yes or yes, a team to avoid.

Switzerland: the Alpine country has historically been a tough nut to crack, more entrenched in teamwork than in individuals, and so on. They were first in their qualifying phase and have old rockers like Xhaka to make life difficult for anyone.

Turkey: Although they finished second in their group in qualifying, the Ottoman team does not appear to be experiencing their prime when it comes to talent and new stars. Even so, he has as references the Milan midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu or well-known names in the Spanish league such as striker Enes Ünal.

Wales: classified in extremis for the Euro, the small selection is where Gareth Bale shows his best version.

GROUP B: Belgium against a group of more than consistent teams

Belgium: the revelation team of the world past is today one of the teams that play the best football. Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne ... a lot of gunpowder in what could be their final tournament, to which they qualified without problems.

Russia: Another of the teams that will play at home in this Euro, and in Spain, we already know how the Russians spend them when they play at home. They came as second in the group classification, and their teamwork is what makes them the most fearsome. Sie können auch lesen EM 2021 Top-Wettquoten

Denmark: The Nordic country will also play some home games after qualifying second behind Switzerland in qualifying. Eriksen or Delaney put quality to a team that also depends heavily on its solidity in defense.

Finland: one of the Cinderellas of the Euro that for many was classified by surprise, surpassing Greece or Bosnia. Do not look for big names in their ranks, but you may be familiar with the former Sevilla player and soccer globetrotter Teemu Pukki, one of his referents in an attack that we incidentally include in our eleven Premier revelation.

GROUP C: The group from Holland with Ukraine as possible cover

Ukraine: The Ukrainians were one of the great surprises in the standings, sneaking first in their group over Portugal or Serbia. West Ham winger Yarmolenko or Manchester City's Zinchenko are some of his references for a team that, mainly, stands out for its solidity.

Holland: They suffered somewhat to qualify, but the Netherlands will once again be one of those classic teams that cannot be absent in a Euro, which will also have one of the local venues in Amsterdam. The new stars from Ajax, such as De Light or De Jong join one of the best center-backs of recent times, Virgil van Dijk, from Liverpool.

Austria: Another of the surprises that the qualifying phase left us by beating rocky teams like Oblak's Slovenia. Bayern Munich's David Alaba and forward Arnautovic are his players to watch.

North Macedonia: The great novelty of the Eurocup. They obtained their first classification in the history of the tournament after defeating Georgia 0-1.

GROUP D: England and Croatia should make a difference

England: Another of the classics that got into the tournament without problems, which also has Wembley as the main stadium of the championship to play home games, since the grand final will be held there. The English team will play one more European Championship with some already established players, although still hungry for titles, so it could be their big moment. Kane, Rashford, Sterling ... Lots of gunpowder especially in attack.

Croatia: Finalists of the last World Cup with a game that fell in love with everyone, Modric's team arrives on a good note at what could be the last great tournament off the so-called Cruyff of the Balkans.

Czech Republic: The Czechs had to fight to get in, but they did it with second place behind England in their group, where there were teams called to be ahead of them. A younger team whose best-known faces are surely Tomáš Vaclík, current Sevilla goalkeeper, along with West Ham center midfielder Tomas Soucek.

Scotland: More than one will not remember Scotland in a European Championship, since their last appearance was 24 years ago. The selection of the islands, led by Andrew Robertson has several "old rockers" such as Naismith or Griffiths, and young talents such as McGinn or McTominay who already have experience in the Premier League.

GROUP E: Spain against comfortable rivals on paper

Spain: Despite the problems due to the change of coach, Spain was one of the first countries to get into the Eurocup. Now, with Luis Enrique back at the helm, it remains to be seen how the 'La Roja' team is emerging, which mixes heirs of the great successes in the World Cup and the European Championship such as Sergio Ramos and new additions such as Dani Olmo or Gerard Moreno. The National Team will play home games in San Mamés, something to keep in mind.

Poland: The Poles led their qualifying group, one of the weakest that Austria also slipped into, but even so, they have always been a tough team. With Lewandowski as the benchmark above, they will always be a tough nut to crack.

Sweden: The Scandinavians occupied second place in the Spanish group for qualifying, and although the times of Ibrahimovic or Larsson are already behind, their team value is always a factor to take into account.

Slovakia: Will complete the group from Spain. Third international appointment for the Central European country that played its first official match just 26 years ago. In their two previous qualifications (World Cup 2010 and Euro 2016) they fell in the round of 16. Hamsik, Kucka, and Robert Mak will put the experience, Ondrej doubts the goals.

GROUP F: the group of death by definition

Germany: the Germans are another team that will play home games, seeking to make up for their weak role in the last World Cup. They got first in the classification, although with changes. Coach Joachim Low informed Thomas Müller, Jerome Boateng, and Mats Hummels that they would not be called up again to make way for a roster renewal. We will see how it turns out.

France: The current world champion entered the final phase without major problems and ready to reclaim her position as the current dominator. Giroud, Griezmann, Mbappé… they have all been together for another year and should be one of the favorites.

Portugal: Let no one forget that Portugal won the last European Championship. A competitive animal-like Cristiano Ronaldo is joined by the generational replacement of Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Joao Félix.

Hungary: After 44 years without participating in a European Championship, Hungary qualified for France 2016 and will repeat this time with a more renewed team. Located in the "group of death", they could give some surprise to Szoboszlai and Sallai as young promises who could be one of the sensations of the championship.
