Football. ua tells what interesting things can be expected from the final day of the League of Nations group round.
- Poland or Germany? Who is in the company for the national team of Ukraine? According to the results of the League of Nations, baskets will be distributed for the draw for qualifying for the European Championship 2020. 10 best teams of 12 representatives of Division A will be in the first basket.
One of the two teams of Division A is already known, which will make up the company of the Ukrainian team in the second basket - Iceland. The second will be either Germany or Poland. At the moment, the advantage is in the Germans, who scored 2 points (the Poles - 1). If our western neighbors even draw a draw in a match with the Portuguese (not to mention victory), then they will be higher because they have a better goal difference.. In this case, Germany will be in the second basket and will not be able to get into the same group with Ukraine.
- Sweden or Russia? Whom to wait in the elite If in Division A all the teams have already distributed their places in the group tables, then in the second division there remains the main intrigue - who will win first place in Group 2 and rise to the elite of the League of Nations.
In this confrontation, everything is simple: the Russians need not lose, and the Swedes win with any score.
Group B2 1 Russia 3 7 2 Sweden 3 4 3 Turkey 4 3 - Will Cyprus be lucky during fights in another group?.
Division C is the only one in which one group is different from the rest, therefore there are other rules. The last team to take off in the last league will be the worst of all teams that finished third in the group..
The national team of Cyprus has already won back all their matches and at the moment is exactly the team that has the worst performance among all third places. But Cypriots still have a chance..
Montenegro's national team as well as Cyprus has one point, it will meet with the Romanians at home, and if it loses with a score of 0: 2 or more, the goal difference between them will be worse (now 1: 4) than the islanders (2: 7) and it is she who will go to division D.
Group C4 1 Serbia 5 11 2 Romania 5 9 3 Montenegro 5 7 4 Lithuania 5 0 At the same time, the Romanians have the ultimate motivation to defeat the Montenegrins. They still have chances to become the first in the group, but for this to happen, you need not only to beat Montenegro, but also to hope that Lithuania (which has “0” in the column points after five matches) will take the points from Serbia. In addition, in the event of a victory, Romanians may end up in the third basket during the draw draw for the Euro (unless the next couple draws a draw).
- Scotland - Israel? The match cost is not only in the first place. These two teams left behind the fight for the first line of the Albanians and in-person confrontation will decide who will go to Division B. Here the layouts are the following: the number of points is the same (6 each), but the Israelis have an advantage in personal meetings, and therefore a draw plays into their hands.
Group C1 1 Scotland 3 6 2 Israel 3 6 3 Albania 4 3 Scotland only needs a victory, to which its own fans will lead it. Another “+” winner - he will definitely be sown in the third draw of Euro 2020 draw. If there is a draw, both teams will be in this very third basket.. The loser can concede this place either to Hungary (Israel will definitely be lower, and Scotland only if he loses two or more goals), or Romania.
- Kosovo or Azerbaijan?.
The only group of the lowest division, in which the winner of the first place was not defined - group 3. Kosovo will take Azerbaijan, and can afford any result other than defeat. In the September match, these teams did not reveal the winner, playing in a goalless draw.
Group D3 1 Kosovo 5 11 2 Azerbaijan 5 9 3 Faroe Islands 5 4 4 Malta 5 2 There is one more, less significant intrigue in this group. The Faroe Islands or Malta will definitely lower the Latvian national team into the last - sixth basket, where only five teams are located. Faroe Islands and enough draw to take the 50th place in the League of Nations 2018/19.
