With the Ireland U19 team already qualified for this summer's UEFA U19 Championship in Armenia, we've examined the rest of the elite round groups are ahead of the final set of fixtures tomorrow
Group 2
Greece top the group ahead of England, who they beat on Saturday. Any one of the top three (Greece, England, Czech Republic) can qualify. England possibly have the easier fixture against an already eliminated Denmark, while hoping that Greece and the Czechs can cancel each other out.
Group 3
Norway top the group after beating Germany on Saturday. With eliminated Hungary facing Germany, Norway face hosts Croatia on the final day
Group 4
All comes down to the final fixture between the Netherlands (who Ireland beat in the Qualifying round) and Spain. Netherlands have the advantage of being hosts.
Group 5
Hosts France face table toppers Israel to determine who goes through. Israel haven't conceded in the group so far, they conceded in every game in the qualifying stage, and only need a draw to qualify
Group 6
The only group with two teams with two wins. Scotland face hosts Portugal, with Scotland only topping the table on goals scored.
Group 7
The only group where every team can still qualify, although it would be a surprise if either Ukraine or Serbia did qualify. Hosts, and top scorers, Italy face lowest scorers Serbia, while Belgium, who have the best defence, will play Ukraine
