Spain has qualified for the round of 16 of the Euro Cup as first in Group B after winning its three games against Croatia, Italy and Albania and not conceding a goal. Therefore, he will face the first life or death duel next Sunday the 30th at 9:00 p.m. Another thing will be knowing who their rival will be, who will come from one of the third places in Groups A, D, E and F. The national team will have to wait, therefore, for the group stage to conclude tomorrow, the 26th and, At the moment, he could have up to 11 different rivals.
However, some prior coordinates can be established when looking for Spain’s rival. According to a probability index established by the Diary Ace, the third parties with the most options to be Spain’s rivals would be those in Group E (Romania, Ukraine, Belgium or Slovakia) and F (Turkey, Georgia or the Czech Republic). Specifically, Spain has a 33.3% chance of facing the third parties in Group E and F. Taking into account a certain sporting logic in the development of these groups, Slovakia in Group E and the Czech Republic or Turkey in the F would be the rivals with the most options to face Spain. But that is only following a logic that sometimes does not occur. For example, there would be a chance that Belgium, a powerhouse, will be Spain’s opponent in the round of 16 if it does not defeat Ukraine in its final group match. If Belgium falls to third place and the combination occurs, De la Fuente’s men would face a tougher duel in the round of 16 of the competition. The Belgian team has more estimable potential with players like De Bruyne, Lukaku or Doku.
There are also other options for Spain to face the third in Groups A or D. The third in Group D (Netherlands, France or Austria) would only have a 13% chance of facing Spain, while the third in Group A , which is Hungary, would have a 20% chance of being the opponent of the Spanish team. There are many options, therefore, in terms of the rivals that Spain may have in the next phase.
In short, Spain will always face a third party and, if it manages to advance to the quarterfinals, the most likely thing (in football the predictions are almost always broken) is that it will have to face a duel against Germany (in Stuttgart on Friday the 5th). of July). If they pass this duel with the hosts of the tournament, a very tough test, the Spanish team would play the semifinal of the Euro Cup in Munich, on Tuesday, July 9 at 9:00 p.m., and theoretically against Portugal. The final will be held at the Berlin Olympic Stadium on Sunday, July 14 at 9:00 p.m. But this, without a doubt, is already a lot of running.
