All groups have their own stadium. All of them have a maximum capacity (80.000). In last 3. round both matches in the group will be played at the same time on two different stadiums.

Group of death?

Yes - It`s only avarage overall rating (OR) and we know that this statistic don`t tell everything. Which group is "Group of death"? Stats say that this is a group 3, but maybe there is catch because Slovakia and Czech Republic are extremely good. The right answer is probably group 5 and 8, where is very difficult to predict who will promote in playoff.
