This is assuming Hungary come 2nd right?

If they don’t then isn’t it wales/ Slovakia in the semi?

yeah.

If Hungary dont come 2nd, NI would play bosnia away and we'd be away to whichever of Slovakia and Wales havent qualified.

Are we more or less guaranteed a playoff at this stage or do we still need a load of results to go our way

Followed by a friendly against Oman

So currently, who does it look like we will be facing? Wales, Slovakia or Bosnia away in the semi Wacko

?

Venues have been paired together. Dublin is linked with Bilbao. So if/when Ireland/Spain qualify, they will be automatically allocated to the same group.

If Spain qualify directly and we qualify through the play offs, we play Spain in Bilbao and have two matches in Dublin. Both qualify automatically, then a draw is held to see where the game against Spain is played.

Highly unlikely that we would face Portugal.

We can get a home playoff if Bosnia can catch Finland (2 points behind with 3 games to go(Bosnia have a tougher run in)) and either one of Wales or Slovakia can catch Hungary ( Slovakia 2 points behind / Wales 4 points behind, both with a game in hand ((Wales are away to Azerbaijan and home to Hungary, if they win both they catch Hungary))) then the ranking in League B will be:

1. Slovakia/Wales (whichever team doesn't catch Hungary)

2. Ireland

3. Northern Ireland

4. A draw to move one of Bulgaria, Israel, Hungary or Romania up to the B League playoff. (Whoever isn't drawn out will join Iceland in the A League playoff)

Would give us a home semi final v Northern Ireland

Good god Portugal could be in the playoffs

Imagine if we have to face them

Portugal's last two games are against Lithuania and Luxembourg, they'll qualify automatically.
