Both sides earned away wins on Thursday evening
Anyone confused about what this game matters in the grander scheme of things? No worries, welcome to Nations League 101… The Nations League is linked to qualification for the European Championship finals, so a spot at Euro 2028 is theoretically up for grabs. However, to earn that spot at our own party – we’re joint hosts of Euro 2028 remember – via this route we need to win League B, which would first involve us having to get out of our group .
But it’s not all about the Euros. Where we place also determines which tier of the league we’ll play in next time around. In League B, a top-place group finish sees the team promoted to League A, and second goes on to play the third-ranked teams from League A for a chance at promotion too.
