JAKARTA There are two games remaining in Group A UEFA EURO 2024, Germany and Switzerland have a great opportunity to finish in the group winners and runners-up positions. Both teams have shown solid performance in previous matches, making them favorites to advance to the next round.

Germany is currently at the top of the standings after winning their first two games with a convincing victory over Scotland and Hungary. Coach Julian Nagelsmann's team has shown sharpness in attacks and solidness in defense. With the remaining one game remaining against Switzerland, Germany is in a strong position to ensure itself as group winners. Even the draw in the last match was enough to secure the top position.

Switzerland, on the other hand, are in second place with four points from two matches. After winning against Hungary and drawing with Scotland, the team still has a chance to take the top spot if they are able to beat Germany in the last game. However, if Switzerland fail to win, they will most likely finish as group runners-up, and depend on the results of other matches.

Scotland and Hungary still have chances, although small, to finish in runners-up positions. Scotland must win their last game against Hungary and hope Switzerland lose to Germany to have a chance to move up to second place. Meanwhile, Hungary, who have not yet won points, need to win the game against Scotland and hope that the other results of the match take sides with them.

With this condition, the final match in Group A will certainly be exciting and tense. Football fans will look forward to the interesting actions of the competing teams, especially Germany and Switzerland, who have a great opportunity to advance to the next round as winners and runners-up in Group A.

If Germany manages to win the group, they will face tight Group C runners-up, consisting of England, Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia. However, if Germany had only been runners-up, they would face current runners-up in Group B, which is likely Italy, even though Albania and Croatia still have chances.

In Germany's scenario of winning the group and Spain and Germany both qualifying from the round of 16, the two teams will meet in the quarter-finals on July 5 at Stuttgart.

Route Towards Final

If Germany becomes group runners-up, it is likely that they will only meet Spain in the final. In the quarter-finals, they will face the winner of the England group or one of the best third-placed teams. Before the tournament started, this route was considered more difficult considering the luxurious England squad. However, the contrast between England's performance against Denmark (1-1) and Spain's brilliant performance on Thursday night was striking.

Spain and Germany have to go a different path, but it is likely that the meeting between the two football giants will become more real. Everything depends on the performance of each team in the next match.
