I make it 2-0
Well Russia look like they'll join them very soon. Russia have to win to qualify against a Wales team that isn't doing bad. I predict a 1-1 with Russia scoring near the end of the match, and Bale scoring the first goal from a free kick, again, and again, and again.

The top two automatically go through and also the third place can go through on ranking.

Yeah, we once did a kind of slightly betting thing, you wrote down the scores and then you got points if you got things right, the German who knew nothing about football won the competition.

No, not true.
If you finish third, and five teams get one draw and one win, one of those teams isn't going to qualify.
Of the teams in 3rd place right now, Romania have 1 point and goal difference of -1 so wouldn't qualify when Iceland (played one game) have 1 point and 0 goal difference.
It's perfectly possible for all six groups to have a third placed team of 4 points.

They are a team that doesn't punch above its weight ever.

A bit like England, consistently illustrated in every World Cup, South Africa and Brasil being the most recent embarrassments.

Yeah, there are teams like it.
England's problem, is that football at grass roots level just isn't very good at all. The number of coaches compared to other countries is ridiculously low. The English FA tries to win the World Cup with strategies to get 11 good player. Germany and Spain have strategies to have kids playing football and being trained well by coaches who have the proper licenses (and therefore have been trained in how to teach kids to play football).
In the UK the big kids do well because they have the strength and power, but in Spain those who are technical get through. So Spain has technical players, England has a load of players who don't make it because their strength becomes less of an issue as others catch up with age.
Spain could put out three teams, and all of them could beat the English on their day.

"I'm going for Italy 24, Sweden 22"
That's rugby.
"Czech Republic -3, Croatia 5"
What's the -3?
"Spain will win by three runs."
That's cricket, winning by X amount of runs.

Lol.
I think that's it for Sweden, I'm thinking the Republic of Ireland third and Belgium second, at the moment Belgium are still bottom of Group E with 0 points, I can't see Sweden winning against Belgium.
