Euro 2020 Group C: Stats, Squads, Fixtures & Timings

By Parameswaran Sankaranarayanan June 7, 2021

Group C is one of the most intriguing groups in Euro 2020. It has only two teams – Ukraine and Austria – that featured in the 2016 edition. Former Champions Netherlands have failed to qualify for major competitions since the 2014 World Cup, while North Macedonia will be making their debut in Euros.

Ukraine, who grabbed a draw against World Champions France in March, had an outstanding campaign in the Euro 2020 qualifiers. Andriy Shevchenko’s men picked up six wins from their eight games and finished above Portugal. Netherlands, too, were impressive in the qualification round. They claimed a victory against Germany and picked up 19 points from an available 24.

After emerging champions in the Group 1 of the ongoing UEFA Nations League B, Austria will be hoping to put their best foot forward in Euro 2020. The Julian Baumgartlinger-led team lost their opening two games in the qualifiers, but a seven-game unbeaten run helped them secure the second spot behind Poland.

North Macedonia qualified for their first-ever major international tournament via playoffs. They pipped Slovenia to third place in Group G. In the playoffs, Macedonia beat Kosovo in the last four, and Goran Pandev’s second-half winner in the final against Georgia secured a Euro 2020 ticket.

Pundits have predicted Netherlands to grab the top spot in Group C, while Ukraine and Austria could lock horns for a second-place finish. Both teams failed to make it out of the group stage in the 2016 edition. North Macedonia is likely to end up bottom of the points table but will be hoping to give the three sides a run for their money.
