⚽️ Prediction of Group A Euro 2024 to Round of 16:

Germany has gone through the group stage in their previous four European Championship attendances, and they will have a chance to top Group A on their home turf this summer.

Predicting the runner-up of Group A is a challenging task but we feel that Hungary has an edge and will join Germany in the round of 16.

Therefore, Switzerland will miss out on a place in the top two, but they could still advance to the knockout stage as one of the four best third-placed countries, while Scotland, the outside team of Group A, might have to settle for an exit – another stage.
