The best Euro 2024 Qualifying matches to watch in November
Euro 2024 is fast approaching, and some countries have allowed their fans to start making plans for the competition by qualifying early.
England, France, Spain and Scotland have qualified for the European showpiece in Germany next year.
The Germans have also qualified as hosts and will look to end their recent terrible run of form on the international stage.
Turkey, Belgium and Austria have also qualified for the competition, but several top European footballing nations risk missing out.
The Netherlands, Italy, Wales, Poland, and Croatia still fight for their spot in Germany.
This makes this November international window one of the most important in European football for most of them.
Fans worldwide will pay attention to these matches because the major leagues are on a break for the international games, and there is hardly a source of entertainment for football lovers in the next two weeks.
Euro 2024 tickets from vetted resellers are available on Seatsnet for fans who want to visit the stadiums and follow their beloved teams during this exciting break.
It is challenging to pick the most unpredictable matches from every group, but we will look at some games that involve the top European nations that could miss out on a place in Euro 2024 if things don't go their way.
Netherlands vs Ireland
Despite boasting the likes of Frenkie de Jong, Virgil Van Dijk, Donyell Malen, and Matthijs de Ligt, among others, the Netherlands could miss out on Euro 2024.
Fans expected them and France to qualify for the competition easily from their group, and Les Bleus has lived up to expectations already.
They will play in Germany and hope to win after reaching the competition's final without Kylian Mbappe in 2016.
The Netherlands is second in their group but remains tied on the same points with Greece.
The Greeks are keen to cause an upset and have worked hard in these qualifiers, so the Netherlands must defeat the Republic of Ireland with a good score to keep their chance of making the finals before the last qualifying game.
Thankfully, the Greeks have played a game more, so if Holland wins this match, they will open up a three-point gap with their opponents.
Ireland has just six points and has no hope of making it to the Euros, so we do not see why the Netherlands should not win, but they might want to cause an upset here.
Ukraine vs Italy
Italy continues to struggle in international football despite winning Euro 2020, and they might not be in Germany to defend their title.
The Italians failed to qualify for the last World Cup even as European champions and are now struggling to qualify for Euro 2024.
England has qualified as group leaders, leaving the Italians and Ukraine to fight for the second automatic qualifying spot.
At the moment, Ukraine is second on 13 points but has played a game more. That makes this match a must-win for the Italians because if they lose, Ukraine will qualify.
Luciano Spalletti has inherited a team that needs more confidence, but Federico Chiesa is expected to feature in this game and Italy has a squad that can defeat the Ukrianians and take the last qualification ticket on the final day of the qualifiers.
But Ukraine narrowly missed out on a place at the last World Cup and is inspired to play in the Euros by the war between their country and Russia.
That could motivate them enough to beat Italy, but the Azzurri will not make that easy, making this fixture a game to watch.
Armenia vs Wales
Armenia is hoping to stop Wales from going to the Euros while bettering their chance of earning the second spot in the group.
The host is fourth in the group standings behind the already-qualified Turkey, Wales and Croatia.
They will feel they still have a chance of winning the competition, which makes beating Wales a must.
After making their first World Cup appearance in decades, Wales is eager to return to the Euros, having been at the 2016 and 2020 editions.
They are second behind Turkey thanks to some wins in the last international window.
Armenia won the reverse fixture in Wales but lost their last three matches, while Wales is unbeaten in four.
The Welshmen have hit top form at the right time and could secure an important win in this match to keep themselves closest to the top of the Euro 2024 qualifying table.
Croatia vs Armenia
After reaching the semi-final of the last World Cup and the final of the 2018 showpiece, Croatia may miss out on a place at Euro 2024.
After Turkey secured a spot in the competition from their group, they are battling Wales for the second automatic qualification spot.
This game is important because the Armenians also have a chance of taking that spot as they are just three points behind the Croatians and Wales, who both have ten points.
If Armenia defeats Wales in their match before this fixture and Croatia fails to earn a win against Latvia, it will be all to play for when this match begins.
Croatia's current generation seems to have tired out after coming very close to ending their wait for a trophy and must do better than they did in their last match against Turkey. Otherwise, they will lose this game.
Greece vs France
France will play for pride when they visit Greece, but the Greeks can clinch a ticket to Euro 2024.
They are currently third on their qualifying table, but they have the same points as the Netherlands, who are second.
France could rest their key men as they have already qualified, while the Greeks will be all out to get the win and ensure they go ahead of Holland.
Their desire to win could earn them victory in the game, but it does not mean France will make life easy for them.
Les Bleus has their pride to protect and have won six out of six games in the qualifiers so far.
They will want eight wins from eight, so Greece should not expect an easy ride because France has already qualified for the Euros.
This makes this game a must-watch, and it will be interesting to see if France will rest the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Adrien Rabiot or start them and go for maximum points.
Poland vs Czech Republic
Robert Lewandowski is another big-name player who risks missing out on a place at Euro 2024 as his Poland team is yet to secure their ticket for the competition.
They are in a very tight group, third behind Albania and the Czech Republic. Surprisingly, the Albanians are first with 13 points, while the Czechs have 11 points and Poland has 10.
The Polish team has played a game more, and this will be their final fixture.
Depending on the results of the other games Albania and Czech Republic will play, Poland may not qualify for the Euros.
However, they can play their part by ensuring that they win this game and hope that other results will eventually go their way.
The final Euro 2024 qualifying games will be necessary for most countries, and we expect to see the best of football from the nations still struggling to qualify.
