The international break is back!
Club football has been put on pause as national teams return to action over the next week. In Europe, teams are preparing to wrap up the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, which will come to an end in this international break.
So far, nine teams have qualified — eight if you exclude hosts Germany. This includes the likes of Portugal, France, England, and Spain. However, this is not the case for everyone as others are still fighting to make next year's tournament.
For some, the next two games could decide their fate. Here are the top UEFA Euro qualifiers to watch between now and this Saturday.
What are the top 2024 UEFA Euro qualifiers to watch on November 16-18, 2023?
Liechtenstein vs Portugal
Not only have Portugal qualified for Euro 2024 but the 2016 winners have also won their group. They are one of only two nations with a perfect record in the qualifiers so far, picking up 24 points from eight games, and have only two matches left to wrap things up.
Standing in their way are Liechtenstein, who are bottom of the group, having lost all eight qualifiers so far. The hosts locked horns with Portugal earlier this year, losing by four goals without reply, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a brace. With the fate of both nations having already been decided, Roberto Martinez will be tempted to rotate his team and should give minutes to the country's other host of talented players.
England vs Malta
From one nation that has qualified for Euro 2024 to another, England prepare to host Malta in the penultimate game of their qualifying campaign. The Three Lions do not boast a perfect record but they are unbeaten, recently overcoming Italy 3-1 to book their ticket to next year's tournament.
Malta, meanwhile, are bottom of the table, which should hand Gareth Southgate the impetus to rotate. However, the Euro 2020 runners-up will want to finish the campaign strong and could field a star-studded team before their final fixture against North Macedonia.
Denmark vs. Slovenia
This game could decide the fate of Group H. Denmark and Slovenia are the top two teams in their group, tied on 19 points each, with the visitors holding the no.1 spot. Furthermore, third-placed Kazakhistan are only four points behind, meaning things could become tricky for the team that loses this tie. Slovenia face Kazakhistan in their final game, meaning a defeat would be far worse for them than the Danes. Sesko and Co. failed to beat Denmark the last time they crossed paths but will get a second opportunity on Friday.
Italy vs North Macedonia
This is game has a lot riding on it. While North Macedonia are unlikely to finish in the top two in Group C, Italy are fighting tooth and nail to avoid another embarrassment. The Azzurri recently lost 3-1 at Wembley and could miss out on the other spot to Ukraine.
Ukraine currently sit in second and are three points ahead of the four-time FIFA World Cup winners. However, Spalletti's men have played one less game in comparison and could leapfrog Zinchenko and Co. with a win. Failure to do so would give Ukraine, who the Italian's face on the final day, the upper hand. Do not miss this tie.
Netherlands vs Ireland Republic
And finally, we have the Netherlands, who face the Republic of Ireland this weekend in a crucial fixture. While France have sealed their ticket to next year's tournament, Oranje are still locked in a heated battle with Greece for the runners-up spot. Currently, both teams are tied on 12 points.
However, Ronald Koeman's side have a game over the Greek and victory over Ireland would set them up perfectly to qualify as their final tie is against Gibraltar. However, while the Boys in Green are no longer in contention for qualification, they still have a talented squad and could easily hurt the continental giants if they are not at their best.
