The two biggest pre-tournament favorites — England and France — take aim at winning their respective UEFA Euro 2024 groups on Tuesday.

The path to get there, however, has been anything but smooth.

England has been disjointed through two games, with the team's draw against Denmark on Thursday being a particular point of contention among the fanbase.

For France, its transcendent superstar Kylian Mbappe broke his nose in the team's opener against Austria and did not play in the team's 0-0 draw against the Netherlands on Friday.

England has a clearer path to first place in its group, but a loss opens the door for Denmark and Slovenia. Here are the scenarios for Group C:

➤ England will move on if they do not lose to Slovenia or if Denmark loses to Serbia. England can top the group with a win or a draw if Denmark does not win. A loss means Slovenia or Denmark could win the group.

➤ Denmark will move on if they defeat Serbia. If Denmark and Slovenia both have the same result, then goal differential will come into play. Denmark will be out if they lose and Slovenia does not.

➤ Slovenia will move on by defeating England. Slovenia can top the group with a win as long as Denmark does not. If Slovenia wins or draws and the result is matched by Denmark, goal differential is the tiebreaker.

➤ Serbia can also qualify for the Round of 16 by defeating Denmark if Slovenia does not win against England. Serbia will be out if they lose or if they draw and Slovenia does not lose.

In Group D, Austria, France and the Netherlands have a chance to finish first:

➤ The Netherlands will finish in the top two with a win or draw vs. Austria. The Netherlands can top the group with a win if France doesn't defeat Poland. The Netherlands can also win the group with a draw if France loses to Poland.

➤ France will move on with a win or draw. If France and the Netherlands have the same result, goal differential will be the tiebreaker.

➤ Austria can finish in the top two with a win over the Netherlands. Austria can win the group with a victory over the Netherlands if France does not win.

➤ Poland already has been eliminated.
