The Final Euro 2020 Groups - Ranked

While the tournament was supposed to take place back in the summer, we only just have the final Euro 2020 participants for the postponed championship next summer. Such is life in 2020.

The last available places were taken by Scotland, Hungary, Slovakia and North Macedonia as they advanced from their play-off ties to fill out the 24-team quota for next year's trans-European competition.

With all six groups already drawn out and now complete, which is the group of death and which will be a walkover? 90min takes a deep dive to fish out the likely qualifiers from each group, bearing in mind that the four best third-placed sides will also make it through to the last 16.

6. Group C - Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, North Macedonia

On paper, the most straightforward group of the lot. Netherlands will likely come into the tournament without captain Virgil van Dijk, but the rest of their squad should be more than strong enough to deal with Goran Pandev and co.

Ukraine and Austria will be competing for second spot and their fixture against each other will likely be the deciding factor. This group isn't one the neutral will be too mad about not being able to catch on TV for whatever reason.

Prediction: 1. Netherlands (Q), 2. Austria (Q), 3. Ukraine, 4. North Macedonia

5. Group E - Spain, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia

Much like Group C, this group should provide a clear winner and runner-up.

Spain have lost a lot of their star quality on the pitch in recent years but their squad is still much stronger than their opposition here and they should take maximum points. Manager Luis Enrique has them playing an attractive style of football that has been effective against most opponents.

Sweden and Poland will battle for the runner-up position in the group with Robert Lewandowski likely to fire his nation into the next round. Slovakia will provide a stiffer test than North Macedonia but they won't make much of an impact.

Prediction: 1. Spain (Q), 2. Poland (Q), 3. Sweden, 4. Slovakia

4. Group B - Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Russia

One of the favourites for the tournament, Belgium are ones to watch yet again. They play an attacking brand of football with some of the best forwards on the planet in Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard. They should take maximum points in this group but it won't be easy.

Russia, Denmark and Finland are all solid outfits in their own right with star players playing at the top level. They're all capable of taking points off each other which leads me to believe this will be one of the four groups with three qualifiers.

Prediction: 1. Belgium (Q), 2. Denmark (Q), 3. Russia (Q), 4. Finland

3. Group D - England, Croatia, Scotland, Czech Republic

England and Croatia were World Cup semi-finalists in 2018 and while they've each had their struggles since, remain two of the better sides in Europe.

Gareth Southgate's men should win the group if they play to their potential but Croatia have top players in their ranks that can cause anyone an issue on their day, while Scotland are currently in their best run of form since 1989. The added spice of their fixture against England could spring an upset too.

Czech Republic beat England in qualifying in 2019 and they are strong enough to beat Scotland on their day too, which makes the group very competitive with the four best third-place finishes qualifying too.

Prediction: 1. England (Q), 2. Croatia (Q), 3. Scotland (Q), 4. Czech Republic

2. Group A - Turkey, Italy, Wales, Switzerland

Aside from the exciting Italians, this is arguably the most even group in the competition, with three sides who will all fancy their chances of taking second spot.

Italy are giants of the game but their current squad is full of inexperienced talend, so the job Roberto Mancini has done deserves praise. The Azzurri are currently unbeaten in 20 matches - a run dating back to September 2018.

Elsewhere, Turkey, Wales and Switzerland are all decent outfits with a star player or two in their ranks.

All four teams are capable of beating each other in this group, so make sure these fixtures aren't missed.

Prediction: 1. Italy (Q), 2. Turkey (Q), 3. Switzerland (Q), 4. Wales

1. Group F - Hungary, Portugal, France, Germany

The group of death, without a shadow of a doubt.

The reigning European champions and the past two world champions are pitted against each other - and the unfortunate Hungary.

Portugal won't fear coming third having won the tournament after doing so in 2016, but they're even stronger this time around and will fancy their chances of winning at least two of their three group games.

France will need to overcome their post-World Cup win hangover but they should be able to beat a misfiring German side if they recover some form.

Unfortunately for Hungary, the group they're in means they're essentially in there to make up the numbers.

Prediction: 1. Portugal (Q), 2. France (Q), 3. Germany (Q), 4. Hungary
