Euro 2021 Qualifying: Group B Recap

Group B is still very much open ahead of the final two days of fixtures, with a total of five teams vying for two automatic berths and a place in the play-offs.

Wales and Belgium are in a very good position after September’s games considering that they each need just one more win to secure their place at the tournament finals and they will both be facing Andorra in October.

Meanwhile, Israel sit two points clear of Bosnia, their rivals for the third place in the group, and also have superior head to head record.

This means that Eli Guttman’s side need four points to secure a place in the play-offs, and home match against Cyprus is a perfect opportunity to edge closer to that goal.

Who needs what?

*Wales need one more win to clinch qualification, while they will also be through if Israel fail to win two remaining games.

*A win in Andorra will do for Belgium, or, if they fail to win, a draw or win over Israel in the final qualifier will prove sufficient.

*Israel need to win both games and see either Wales or Belgium fail to win at least one of their two remaining matches. On the other hand, they will secure play-off berth by defeating Cyprus in case Bosnia do not beat Wales. Israel also boast superior head to head record over Bosnia.

*Bosnia is out of contention for automatic qualifying berth, but they will reach the play-offs if they get three points more than Israel in the final two matches.

*Cyprus will finish third if they defeat Israel and Bosnia and the two sides do not win their remaining games in October.
