What pot will Scotland be in for Euros

Recommended Posts

Hello. First time post on here. I’m going to register for pot luck tickets for euros today with UEFA. 
I know the draw for pots haven’t taken place yet but are there any statos out there who have calculated if we are in pot 2 or 3. I cannot see us getting pot 1.
thanks

I wouldn't rely on the numbers when planning on applying for tickets in the draw. From my understanding, this doesn't correlate with the seedings in any group with the exception of Germany who are A1. So you could be top seed in group D, but end up being allocated D4.

Win both games and we’re in Pot 2, due to Austria’s defeat to Belgium. 

Unless I’ve made an arse of it somewhere, 4 points might still be enough for Pot 2 if Austria don’t better our goal difference - they’re +8 and we’re +9. They travel to Estonia in their final game though.

Hi. Thanks for this. You are spot on I’ve just read the official draw procedure on UEFA website. I’m just going to plunk for the cities I’d like to visit and see what happens. 
If I get a ticket and it’s not Scotland might be able to swap it or go enjoy the game. All the best.

Marc I understand there will be  a "follow my team" option after the draw on the 02December.

Again its a ballot but if you want scotland games that the one you want to apply for.

Goodluck

No there won’t be. After the draw on 2 Dec, only the SSC will issue Scotland tickets. There will be a resale platform run by UEFA in the Spring however

Or by 1 if we score 4 or more apparently 

Aye, 4-3 would do it.

If we win 3-2 we are level of GD and goals scored. Then it goes to away goals. We both have 7 away goals. Unless we are allowed to count McTs "goal" in Spain 😉

Then it goes to higher number of wins. We would both have 6.

Then it goes to away wins they have 3 to our 2. 

I think it's just between us and Austria really? But not sure. Azerbaijan could take points off Belgium, I suppose?

To be honest we might be better off as a pot 3 team. As you can see the standings below we as a current (projected) pot 3 team avoid Netherlands, Denmark and Italy/Ukraine. Generally much higher ranked teams in Pot 2.

Spot on. Would sooner face the prospect of playing a Pot 2 team rather than a Pot 3 team. Pretty sure it will be Pot 3 now anyway.

By my calculations the Netherlands or whoever is second in group Ecudl still go ahead of us on goal difference, assuming we get the two goal win over Norway which is a big enough assumption.

I doubt there's actually much difference between two and three, the thing that will make groups massively diffult is if you get a pot 4 team like Italy, Croatia or Poland.

If Scotland win, they move up to 19 Points. With 2 Wins in their last 2, Netherlands can only get up to 18 Points.

To be a Pot 2 Team, if Scotland beats Norway by 2 clear points it GUARANTEES it:

Pot1

France 

England 

Spain

Germany

Portugal

Belgium

 

Pot 2

Romania (will swap with Swiss in pot 4 if they lose final game at home to swiss)

Albania

Hungary

Denmark

Austria (swap with us if we win by 2 or 4-3)

Turkey

 

Pot3

Scotland

Netherlands

Croatia

Serbia

Italy (Ukraine if they beat Italy)

Slovakia

 

Pot 4

Switzerland

Czech Republic

Slovenia (or Kazahkstan if they beat them in final game)

Not quite sure how that list works, but some teams seem to be missing. Either Italy or Ukraine will qualify directly. Same with Kazakhstan or Slovenia. Also no Croatia?

Pot three looks like it works in our favour. Should have Italy, Netherlands, Croatia and Serbia in pot 3 with us so avoid them all in the pool.

Either Italy or Croatia, and Serbia will be in Pot 4 . Nobody should be scared of Italy - they are rubbish.
