England are set to finish at the top of their Euro qualifier group yet again this year, but what does winning group C mean for the Three Lions and who could they face at Euro 2024?

England’s Easy Route To Qualification

England have yet again been an unstoppable force in Euro qualifiers, as no matter what happens on Monday night in their final game of the group stages, Gareth Southgate’s side will finish top of their group.

The Three Lions are yet to lose a game in their group this year, as they go into their final match on Monday night with six wins and one draw that guarantees them qualification to next year’s tournament.

England weren’t able to qualify for the 2020 Euros with an unbeaten record as they lost just one game during the qualification process, so they will be hoping to win against North Macedonia on Monday night to keep their unbeaten streak in the competition alive this year.

Southgate’s impressive team have dropped points in just one match so far, drawing to Ukraine in September to tarnish an otherwise perfect record in the competition.

The final game of the group stage takes place on Monday night with the Three Lions taking on North Macedonia, who they thrashed 7-0 last time out in a dominant display at Wembley.

Who Could England Face At Euro 2024?

England have confirmed themselves as top seeds for Euro 2024 following their impressive qualification campaign, which means their group stage opponents could be slightly easier.

Countries who are definitely joining England in pot one for the group stages are tournament hosts Germany as well as Spain, France, and Portugal, alongside one other team that is yet to be decided – which means none of those sides will be in the Three Lions’ group.

23 other teams will qualify to Euro 2024 after the group stages have concluded and play-offs have been played, with the six top seeded teams all in separate groups.

From there, the next best six teams will be placed in pot 2, the next in pot 3 and the final qualifying teams in pot 4.

When Is The Euro 2024 Group Stage Draw?

The Euro 2024 group stage draw takes place in Hamburg, Germany on December the 2nd with the ceremony kicking off at 5pm UK time.

Final Round Of Group C Matches

The final matches in Group C all take place on Monday night, although they have little relevance to England who are already confirmed as top seeds of the group.
