The qualifying tournament for the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship is entering its final stretch, and some teams may qualify for exit from their groups as early as this month. Global betting company 1xBet highlights October’s UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying four key fixtures.
Spain v Scotland
In Group A, Spain will host Scotland at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Luis De La Fuente’s team’s task is both simple and complex. The Spaniards are incredibly strong at home, but they will need to stop an opponent who has won all their qualifying matches! In the first round, the Tartan Army confidently defeated the opponent 2-0 thanks to Scott McTominay, who became a real selection revelation and has already scored six goals. The Spaniards do not have a clear goalscorer, but they have a balanced attacking team that averages four goals per game. Will the Furia Roja continue its scoring extravaganza on October 12, or are the Scots really invincible in this qualifying round?

Austria v Belgium
In Group F, Austria and Belgium will fight for first place – this game will occur on October 13. The time of the golden Belgian generation is gradually passing. One of the strongest teams in the world over the past 10 years has failed to reach the big titles. The unlucky Hazard has long been forgotten, and Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois are injured. But even without their main stars, the Red Devils, led by Domenico Tedesco, are showing promising results – few teams can boast a center forward of the Romelu Lukaku level. In five matches, the team drew only once and shares the lead in the group with the Austrians. Ralf Rangnick’s squad plays pragmatic football and presses their opponents. Can technical Belgium find an antidote to the well-coordinated football machine of the ex-Leipzig and Manchester United coach?

Netherlands v France
On October 13 at the Johan Cruyff Arena, the Netherlands will try to take revenge on France for their humiliating 0-4 defeat in the first round. If the home team succeeds, they will not only be able to rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans but also return to the fight for first place in Group B. Les Bleus has 6 points more, but Ronald Koeman’s men have a game in hand. The vice world champions are confident in their abilities and are ready to continue their streak without conceding goals in the qualifying tournament. The Netherlands should worry much more about their goal safety. Will the not-so-reliable defender duo in the world, De Ligt & Van Dijk, be able to contain Mbappe, Dembele and Kolo Muani, sweeping everything in their path?

England v Italy
In Group C, Italy is three points behind England on dropped points but is unlikely to be chasing the top. For Luciano Spalletti, who took charge of the team in the middle of an unsuccessful qualifying, the primary objective is to reach the tournament’s final part. After winning Euro 2020, Squadra Azzurra managed to lose in the ill-fated play-offs to Switzerland and was left without the World Cup. A second failure in a row will become a national disaster in the Apennines. England are set to reassert their leadership in the group with a constellation of excellent players led by Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, who could soon become one of the leading contenders for the Ballon d’Or. Three Lions will play for fun, but the Italians’ defeat could deprive them of a trip to Germany. Can Italy cope with the pressure on October 17 at Wembley?
