For the first time since a group stage was introduced at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship finals in 2000, no team is mathematically through or out going into the last matchday.

Take a look at the different scenarios that could apply when Group A ends on Saturday and Group B the following day, with the top two teams in each to progress to the semi-finals. The permutations below are for information only; the official calculations will be made by UEFA after the games finish according to article 8.06 of the Regulations of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, 2009–11 competition.

GROUP A
Saturday: Switzerland (6pts) v Belarus (3), Iceland (0) v Denmark (3)

• Switzerland are not yet through but a point would clinch a semi-final berth in first place and they would also progress with a one-goal defeat other than by 1-0 or 2-1. However, if they lose 1-0 or by two goals or more and Denmark beat Iceland, then Switzerland would finish third in a tie-break of results between the three sides equal on six points. If Switzerland lose 2-1 and Denmark win by one goal, Switzerland are through, but if Denmark win by more (other than by 2-0) then Switzerland are out.

• Should Switzerland lose 2-1 and Denmark win 2-0 the two teams would be split according to their fair play ranking for the final tournament as they would be equal on all preceding criteria including qualifying coefficient. Should their fair play rankings be equal, there would be a drawing of lots.

• Belarus know a win against Switzerland would guarantee their progress, at the very least in a three-way head-to-head. The only way a win would not ensure Belarus first place would be if they prevail 1-0 and Denmark also gain victory, though they would still be at least second behind the hosts.

• If Belarus draw, they would need Denmark to lose in order to finish second. If Belarus lose, they would still go through if Iceland beat Denmark by a margin of one or two goals. If Iceland win 3-0, Belarus would be through only if they lost by one or two goals. Any bigger Iceland win, and Belarus could not afford to lose.

• Iceland can only go through if they prevail by three goals or more and Belarus lose. If Iceland win 3-0, however, they would require Belarus to lose by three goals or more.

• Denmark would advance with a victory against Iceland unless Belarus beat Switzerland by a one-goal margin other than 1-0. If Switzerland lose 2-1 then Denmark would have to win by greater than 2-0, with a win by that exact margin meaning second place will be decided on fair play rankings and then drawing of lots. If Denmark draw they will be through unless Belarus win. If Denmark lose they are out.

NB: No team has gone out with more than four points since the U21 finals group stage was introduced in 2000. In 2006 Serbia and Montenegro progressed to the semi-final with three points ahead of Germany and Portugal on the same tally; four years earlier Italy won their group with a total of five.

Group B
Sunday: England (2pts) v Czech Republic (3), Ukraine (1) v Spain (4)

• England will be through with a win and out with any other result.

• Czech Republic will progress with a victory. They will also qualify with a draw unless Ukraine defeat Spain by three goals or less.

• Ukraine will advance with a win and will be eliminated with any other result

• Spain will be through with a point and could even afford to lose by three goals or fewer if the other game is drawn.

The 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship comprises a qualifying group stage and play-off round to determine which seven teams join hosts Israel in the final tournament.

Qualifying group stage
Teams are split into ten groups – two of six teams and eight of five – and play each other on a home and away basis. The ten group winners and four runners-up with the best record against the teams first, third, fourth and fifth in their sections advance to the play-offs.

Play-offs
Play-off matches are played according to the knockout system, with each team playing each opponent home and away. The team which scores the greater aggregate of goals qualifies for the next round, with away goals, extra time and then penalties used to determine the winner in the event of a draw.

Final tournament
The final tournament comprises the seven play-off winners and Israel, who qualify automatically as hosts. The eight teams are split into two groups of four. Each team plays each other once in their group with the winners and runners-up advancing to the semi-finals where the winner of Group A plays the Group B runner-up and vice-versa. The winners advance to the final.
