Group 2 qualifier
Switzerland v Israel and Greece v Luxembourg

Group 3
San Marino v Slovenia and Poland v Slovakia

On group 2 matches, Switzerland on 20 pts with +10 goal difference and Greece on 17 pts with +9 goal difference. This is the final round for the round robin, Switzerland needs a draw to guarantee qualification while Greece needs a win to have a chance of qualifying.

On group 3, Slovakia is on 19pts with +11 and Slovenia is on 17pts with +11. San Marino has no win from 9 matches and they have let in 44 goals, it seems a definite that Slovenia will win. The question is by how many goals? This will give Slovenia on 20pts with probably +15 goal difference. That means for Slovakia to qualify they would need a win against Poland since a draw would mean they finish 2nd due to goal difference. Polands records hasn't been good with 3wins-2draws-4losses.
