With qualification for next summer's European Championship coming towards its conclusion, we take a look and what is required for each of the teams involved to clinch their places at the tournament - including England and Scotland. We'll also take an early look at the prices for who could take the trophy home from Germany come July.
Who needs what to qualify?
Two teams qualify from each group to fill 20 of the 24 spaces in next summer's European Championship.
Germany qualify automatically as hosts, with the other three spots are decided via play-offs by teams involved in the 2022/23 Nations League.
Group A
Spain's win over Norway on Sunday saw both them and Scotland secure qualification for Euro 2024.
Both teams sit on 15 points with two games remaining, with the Spaniards +16 goal difference giving them the edge over the Scots (+9) currently when it comes to topping the group.
Group B
The Republic of Ireland's slim hopes of qualification were ended by a 2-0 home defeat by Greece - a fifth loss in six group games for Stephen Kenny's side.
France sealed qualification with their sixth win from six as they triumphed 2-1 in the Netherlands thanks to a double from Kylian Mbappe.
The Dutch leapfrogged Greece into second place with a 1-0 win in Athens three days later courtesy of a stoppage-time Virgil van Dijk penalty. They also have a game in hand on the Greeks.
Holland have the easier run-in too with games against the Republic and Gibraltar to follow, while Greece round off at home to France.
Group C
England are in charge of Group C on 13 points from five games and hold a six-point lead over Italy, Ukraine and North Macedonia.
Gareth Southgate's side don't play in the first set of fixtures this international break, though.
Group D
Wales moved into second in Group D after a 2-1 win over Croatia, meaning they are now masters of their own destiny thanks to a superior head-to-head record.
Turkey secured qualification with an emphatic 4-0 win over Latvia, booking their place in Germany.
Group E
Albania top a wide open Group E, three points clear of third place Poland - who have played a game more than their rivals.
Czechia's narrow win over Faroe Islands saw them climb into second, while Moldova are still in the mix after drawing with the Poles.
Group F
Belgium secured their spot in next year's finals with a 3-2 win in Austria, stretching their unbeaten run to six games in the group.
Unbowed, Austria sealed the runners-up berth and qualification thanks to a 1-0 victory in Azerbaijan three days later, ending the hopes of third-placed Sweden.
Group G
In Group G, Hungary, Serbia and Montenegro are the teams battling for qualification.
Group H
Hopes for Northern Ireland to qualify are all but finished. They have three points from six games in Group H and sit nine points behind the top four teams in the group.
The fight between Slovenia, Denmark, Finland and Kazakhstan should be a good one.
Group I
Switzerland dropped to second in Group I after a shock 3-3 draw against Belarus, with Romania moving top of the pile after beating Andorra.
Israel - who haven't played this international break due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza - sit third, four points behind the Swiss and five points behind the Romanians with one and two games in hand on those sides respectively.
Group J
Portugal have dominated the final group, winning all eight of their Group J games, scoring 32 goals and conceding just two, as they breezed to qualification.
They sealed their spot in Germany with a 3-2 win over Slovakia, the first goals they had let in during qualifying, before a subsequent 5-0 victory away to Bosnia and Herzegovina secured top spot.
Slovakia bounced back with a 1-0 win in Luxembourg that means they need just a point from their two remaining games to seal second place. Luxembourg and Iceland are five and six points behind respectively, clinging on to slim qualification hopes.

The favs - rightly or wrongly?
Euro 2020 runners-up England have been given a 18.2% chance of going one step further in 2024.
Questions remain over the Three Lions after their regression in Qatar however, and speculation this is likely Gareth Southgate's swansong don’t make them an appetising betting proposition at 9/2.
France, on the other hand, have the walk to match the talk.
Their round-of-16 elimination in the last Euros was the worst showing of Didier Deschamps' tenure but they responded by reaching the World Cup final, building on their 2018 World Cup win and Euro 2016 runners-up spot under the 1998 World Cup-winning captain.
To be priced alongside England makes little sense.
Germany best avoided
Hosts Germany are guaranteed a spot at Euro 2024, a triumph considering their turmoil.
Julian Nagelsmann is now in charge after Hansi Flick mustered one win (over Peru) in six friendlies that followed a shock group-stage exit in Qatar.
A 4-1 defeat against Japan ultimately proved fatal for the former Bayern boss, leading to him being replaced by his successor at the Allianz.
Too much turbulence to be interested in 6/1 really.
The chasing pack
Spain (7/1) won their first trophy of the Luis de La Fuente era by beating Croatia on penalties to lift the Nations League, make of that what you will.
This La Furia Roja side does threaten to improve, averaging four goals a game in the qualifiers.
Portugal (10/1) are intriguing. Roberto Martinez has an exciting blend of youth and experience at his disposal.
Perhaps, the only question is over the former Belgium head coach, who failed to maximise the potential of that nation's own golden generation.
Domenico Tedesco has inherited a formidable Belgium (12/1) spine but they feel like a team in transition. Major questions remaining over defensive personnel, too.
Similar to Germany, holders Italy (12/1) are another side in turmoil.
Luciano Spalletti, who masterminded Napoli's Serie A title win last season, is the new man after Roberto Mancini's exit. The Italians will feel they have a point to prove following their absence in Qatar, just as they did at the last Euros...
The Netherlands (14/1) make up the cluster of front-runners but Ronald Koeman’s side are to show anything of note since their glorious World Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Argentina back in December.
