However, Austria was drawn to a competitive group C for the final alongside the Holland, a dangerous Ukrainian team and the winner of track A or D of the playoffs. Austria fans can buy Austria Euro Cup Tickets online.
Franco Foda’s team is certainly stronger than the outfit that stank the place for the last few euros and they will expect to qualify for the round of 16 at least as one of the four best teams in third place. Well, that’s what they said four years ago, and look how it turned out.
The Holland is a nation that has a feeling of belonging to international competition. The absence of these bright orange jerseys from Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup was shocking to the neutrals, not to mention how the Dutch themselves must have felt.
In Virgil van Dijk, the Holland arguably boasts the best defender in European football. His partner in the tournament – unless injured – should be the very talented Matthijs de Light, who, at only 20, could continue to receive the distinctions that his compatriot receives every week.
Holland
The Dutch came second in their qualifying group, one point behind their German rivals. While Northern Ireland fought an admirable fight to disturb the first places, it was finally a race of two horses because the Holland and Germany lost only one match in stride.

The Dutch teams of the past were able to call on some of the best offensive talents of the day and often ended up being a top team. This iteration could have the opposite problem, with midfielders Georginio Wijnaldum and Frenkie de Jong in front of the aforementioned central defenders, the threat of attack they can offer is rather low in comparison.
Memphis Depay had thrived as a central striker on this side, contributing 16 goals in his last eight international matches, but when he broke his ACL in late 2019, he was excluded from the tournament this summer.
Instead, Ronald Koeman – if he still had to be in charge at the time the tournament takes place, which is not inevitable for Dutch coaches in the past – could turn to Ryan Babel, 33, or an exciting adolescent talent at Newcastle linked Myron Boadu.
Ukraine
Ukraine enters Euro 2020 in a burning form with a living legend as a coach; Andriy Shevchenko. The former Milan star is the second most capped player in the country and the top scorer of all time.

Shevchenko led his nation to first place in his qualifying group, beating Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal in the first place. Ukraine was one of only five teams to remain undefeated throughout qualifying, having won six of its eight matches.
Premier League viewers know West Ham’s Andriy Yarmolenko of West Ham on the right flank and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is most often deployed in the central midfield for his country, rather than the left rear lunge in which he often found himself in Manchester City.
But Ruslan Malinovskyi, Atalanta’s midfielder, 26, also catches the eye as he knits the piece in the center of the park and never hesitates to tear a long-distance effort from a dead ball or of an open part when he can work on his left.
The joint hosts of Euro 2012 cannot do worse than their last outing in a major tournament – the 2016 European Championship in France when they lost each match without scoring a goal.
Play-off Winner D or A
The last members of the Austrian group come from one of the five options; Romania, Georgia, Belarus, North Macedonia or Kosovo.
Romania is part of the track A teams, and if they win in this phase, they join group C. The other four teams are on track D and if Romania does not progress, the victorious nation of Georgia, Belarus, North Macedonia or Kosovo will join the Holland, Ukraine and Austria.

Georgia and Belarus have won three victories between them in qualifying while Austria is familiar with North Macedonia, a team they have already played (and beaten) twice in the previous round.
Kosovo should be watched after competing well in the English group and frightening the Three Lions in a crazy 5-3 match at St Mary’s. Romania also impressed at times by finishing behind Spain, Sweden, and Norway during the qualifications, with Ianis Hagi (21), the son of the great Gheorghe, who seemed to have a special talent for attacking the middle ground.

Moritz Bauer:
Moritz Bauer joined Celtic for a season loan contract with Stoke City with the intention of using his time in Scotland to force his return to the Austrian national team towards Euro 2020 this summer.
Now, although the Austrian international right-back from Switzerland has admitted that it was a young Dutchman – Jeremie Frimpong – who probably put his international recall ambitions to good use, for the moment at least.
Bauer played over the weekend in Celtic’s Scottish Cup 3-0 victory over Clyde, but for most of this season he had to play from the second violin to first Elhamed – before his injury in Rome during the 2-1 victory against Lazio did not exclude him for several months.
He just returned to training this week – and Frimpong, who also came out injured after Alan Power sank a Kilmarnock a few weeks ago. He too is scheduled to return to the training ground this week, likely tomorrow.
Bauer has managed only six starts, coupled with numerous appearances on the bench, and he believes that this is far from enough for him to achieve his international ambitions.
Neil Lennon:
He was not helped either by Celtic manager Neil Lennon straying from 4-2-3-1 formation which has been a mainstay for a number of very successful seasons at Celtic, to return to the former 3-5-2 of Martin. The O’Neill era, a system that Lennon himself played with great success.
This means that the wingers and the more defensive Bauer seem to play more comfortably as a right back in a rear four.
“It is clear to me that I do not have the best hand to enter the Austrian team for the final of Euro 2020 and that time is not on my side.”
Bauer, however, loves every minute of his time at Celtic, and he still has a few months to convince Lennon that he is worthy of a permanent deal with the Hoops – Celtic has a purchase option already agreed with Stoke City for 28 years.
Tonight you expect him to be back on the bench, and tomorrow Jeremie Frimpong will be back and will be pushing to get back on the team. His problem will be James Forrest who currently plays the role of the right-wing in 3-5-2.
He started doing it in the Clyde game and it is probably the best we have seen of him so far, even in these very difficult conditions.
And Bauer certainly speaks as if he plans to stay – if possible – longer than the end of this season. His eyes are fixed on Ten-in-a-Row.
Bauer looks like a pretty decent player, although he probably needs to recognize that Celtic is an attacking side and that he should sometimes think of being cautious in the wind and being more direct and forward -keeper in his game forward.
