In Europe

  • France will secure a spot if they beat Ukraine at 4:45 PM (Brasília time) on Thursday (13th) at Parc des Princes.
  • Portugal needs to beat Ireland at 4:45 PM on Thursday (13th). If they draw, Portugal will depend on Hungary slipping up against Armenia.
  • The Netherlands need to beat Poland on Friday (14th) at 4:45 PM at the National Stadium in Warsaw to clinch their spot.
  • Belgium will have to beat Kazakhstan at 11:00 AM on Saturday (15th), away from home, to confirm their place in the World Cup.

Other teams have slightly more complex scenarios.

Spain needs to beat Georgia (Saturday, 15th, at 2:00 PM, away) and hope that Turkey does not beat Bulgaria.

Switzerland needs to beat Sweden and hope that Kosovo does not defeat Slovenia. If Switzerland draws, Kosovo would have to lose.

Austria needs to beat Cyprus and hope for a slip by Bosnia and Herzegovina against Romania.

Norway needs to beat Estonia and hope that Italy does not beat Moldova. If Norway draws, Italy would have to LOSE.
