Scotland and Denmark in group final at Hampden Park

Scotland host Denmark in a group final. Scotland need to win, while a
draw is enough for Denmark to win the group and avoid playoff.

Similarly, Austria host Bosnia in a group final. Here Bosnia need to
win to snatch the group win, while a draw is enough for Austria to
avoid playoff.

In Group J, we have a match between Wales and North Macedonia deciding
who will be runner-up in the group. Both countries are guaranteed
playoff regardless trhough their NL results, but tre 2nd place is
important for the seeding and home pitch advantage in the
playoff. Wales need to win to grab the 2nd place, while a draw is
enough for North Macedonia. The match is also affecting Albania
significantly, as they will end up in seed pot 2 if North Macedonia
finish second.

Decider between Ukraine and Iceland

Deciding match between Ukraine and Iceland. Ukraine need to win to reach the playoffs, while a draw suffices for Iceland.

Likewise, and almost deciding match in Budapest when Irelands visits. Ireland need to win to reach playoffs, while a draw suffices for hosting Hungary. With a win Hungary can win the group win but that requires that Portugal fail to win against Armenia.

Key match for Scotland in Greece

The most interesting match tonight is when Greece host Scotland. Denmark and Scotland are currently on equal points and as Denmark is expected to win against Belarus, a point will be crucial for Scotland so a win against Denmark suffices to win the group.

In Group B, Slovenia host Kosovo i a key match in the race for the 2nd place and a spot in the playoffs. For Kosovo a draw is sufficient to clinch a spot in the playoff. A win would give them a chance to challenge Switzerland for the group win.

In Group H, Austria will most likely win the group and the question is whether Romania or Bosnia will be 2nd. Romania is three points behind Bosnia but with better goal difference. While Bosnia play Austria in the last round, Romania play San Marino, so the match tonight is crucial and the winner is likely to snatch the 2nd place. Romania is guaranteed a playoff regardless via NL, but advancing via a 2nd place gives a better seeding.
