Ahead of the latest round of Euro 2024 qualifiers, Sports Mole looks at who could qualify and who could be eliminated from contention on matchday eight.
Four places at Euro 2024 have already been decided, and more could be settled over the coming days as matchday eight of the qualifying campaign gets underway.
Hosts Germany are guaranteed a spot, and they were joined in the pot by France, Portugal and Belgium on matchday seven.
As many as nine more teams have the chance to seal their places on the plane before the current international break ends, including the likes of England, Spain and Scotland.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the permutations you need to know ahead of the upcoming round of Euro 2024 qualifiers.
