Euro 2020 3rd place table: Who is going through and who is going out as things stand?


EURO 2020 is hotting up with the group stage reaching its final round of fixtures.

But the draw for the last 16 is complicated by the fact that fans must wait to see which teams finish third in each group.

At this tournament, the four best third placed teams will qualify for the last 16, along with all first and second placed nations.

Euro 2020 third place table

The third place slots at Euro 2020 are currently occupied by Switzerland, Finland, Austria, Croatia, Spain and Portugal.

The Swiss have played all their three group games and now sit top of the third place table on four points, but they must now wait for the other results to come in.

As things stand, a couple of big hitters are set to go out in Croatia and Spain.

The Croats know they have to beat Scotland at Hampden Park to have any chance of qualifying, and vice-versa.

Spain meanwhile know it is highly likely they will have to beat Slovakia to go through, but there are some scenarios in which a draw could be enough.

Have England qualified for the Euro 2020 last 16?

England have not yet qualified for the Euro 2020 last 16 but could do so as soon as tonight.

For the Three Lions to go through tonight, the Group C match between Ukraine and Austria needs to have a winner.

Should that happen, England will progress if either Finland lose to Belgium or Denmark beat Russia.

The only way England could be knocked out at the group stage is if they lose to the Czech Republic and Scotland beat Croatia with a four-goal swing.

That would leave England in third place and waiting on the completion of the other group games.
