In the World Cup qualifiers; The teams of the countries that finished first in 10 groups will be guaranteed to participate directly in the world cup, while the remaining 3 teams will be determined after the play-off matches. Thus, 13 teams from Europe will go to the World Cup. A one-game elimination play-off round will be played between the teams that finished second in their group. Therefore, the most important thing will be to finish the group in first place. Those who finish in second place also have a chance, but it is extremely low.
That's true. And currently these are the ten teams that are placed at the second position in their groups:
1. Portugal
2. Sweden
3. Switzerland
4. Fnland
5. Czechia
6. Israel
7. Netherlands
8. Croatia
9. Poland
10. Armenia
As you can see, all of them are very strong teams (perhaps with the exception of Armenia and Poland). The competition for the last 3 qualification sports is going to be fierce.
