Group C: Northern Ireland
On Thursday 10 October Northern Ireland have a crunch clash away against the Netherlands in group C. Should Northern Ireland win they would go six points above the Dutch. Group C qualification can’t be confirmed until November’s round of fixtures.
Group E: Wales
Ryan Giggs’s Wales side currently sit fourth in group E. Wins against Slovakia on Thursday and Croatia on Sunday would boost their qualification chances but two losses could crush their dreams of playing in next year’s championships.
Group I: Scotland
Scotland play in Russia on Thursday and host San Marino on Sunday. Their chances of a top-two place are slim to none, but they are guaranteed a play-off place because of their results in the Nations League.
