A total of 14 Euro 2020 spots are up for grabs as the final round of the Euro 2020 Qualifiers nears. Portugal, Netherlands and Germany are yet to seal their spots. Gareth Southgate's England, however, emphatically qualified for the Euros with a 7-0 win over Montenegro in their 1000th international game. Here's a look at the favourable results for the rest of the teams in the Euro 2020 Qualifiers. 

Euro 2020 Qualifiers: Who can qualify? 

A total of 24 spots are on offer and there are quite a number of teams that are yet to seal their spots for the tournament. A win over Luxembourg will secure qualification for Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal. The 2018-19 Nations' League winners are currently second in their group, with 14 points. However, if they drop points against Luxembourg this weekend, Fernando Santos' men will qualify if Serbia register a win against group leaders Ukraine.

In Group C, Northern Ireland's hopes of qualifying hang by a thread. Michael O'Neill's side will be in the play-offs if they fail to finish in the top two. With the Netherlands leading the group and Germany second on level points with the Dutch, it is more than likely that Northern Ireland will have to secure qualification through the play-offs. Whether Michael O'Neill remains as manager of the side will be up for debate, as the Northern Ireland manager has now been appointed as the manager of Stoke City.

The Republic of Ireland, on the other hand, find themselves in a similar situation. A win by a margin of two goals against group leaders Denmark will secure qualification. However, if they happen to lose, they can still be in contention for a Euro 2020 spot in the playoffs next year.

Gareth Bale's Wales have a game in hand over group leaders Croatia. A defeat against Azerbaijan will end their hopes of qualifying. However, a win in their final two Euro 2020 Qualifiers will see Ryan Giggs' side seat themselves in a strong position for the Euros. As things stand, Scotland, Norway, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina find themselves in the playoffs.
