What to watch for this qualifying cycle

Watch group leaders and late suspensions closely — they often decide final spots. Managers’ comments matter too: coaching changes or public disputes can affect team form. Track form over the last five matches rather than overall records; momentum often tells you more. Also keep an eye on key clashes between group leaders and mid-table teams — those matches create the biggest swings in standings.
