Euro 2024 3rd place team rankings: Hungary has advantage, Croatia faces difficulties

Euro 2024 3rd place team rankings as of June 25 - Graphics: AN BINH

Currently, 2 out of 6 third-place teams of Euro 2024 have been determined. In Group A, Hungary with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Scotland has revived the hope of going on.

They are behind Germany and Switzerland in this group with 3 points and a goal difference of -3. Normally this achievement is not easy for teams to continue to the round of 16.

However, with the developments in Group B after that, Hungary unexpectedly became the team with the advantage. Croatia could not overcome the difficulties and only had a 1-1 draw with Italy.

Luka Modric and his teammates are in 3rd place in this table with only 2 points and a goal difference of -3.

At the moment, Hungary is temporarily ranked 3rd out of 6 third-place teams. Croatia is in 5th place.

On the evening of June 25 and early morning of June 26, the final matches of groups C and D will take place. In group D, Austria will likely finish third.

If they get 4 points or if they get 3 points but have a better goal difference than Hungary, they will go through. It is almost impossible for Austria to escape the round of 16.

In Group C, all four teams, England (4 points, have advanced), Denmark (2 points), Slovenia (2 points) and Serbia (1 point), are at risk of falling to third place.

Slovenia and Denmark (0 goal difference) only need a draw to have a better record than Croatia and Hungary.

If either of these two teams lose, Hungary will definitely qualify. For Croatia, they need more than that. Specifically, they have to rely on England beating Slovenia by more than 3 goals. Or, in a more difficult case, Serbia doing the same against Denmark.

It can be seen that Hungary has a very bright chance to continue. They can know their fate right after the matches tonight and tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, Croatia is likely to be eliminated.
