Thread: European Nations League Play-off's - get your calculator out

    European Nations League Play-off's - get your calculator out

    This actually explains it quite well ...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_E...ying_play-offs

    But put simply it looks like this, 8 of the 12 League B teams are currently in qualifying positions, which means the remaining 4 will play in the playoffs.

    Bosnia v N.Ireland & Wales v Slovakia, with the host of the final being drawn.

    Things can of course change but 5 of the 12 seem certs, Ukraine, Russia, Austria, Czech & Turkey.

    There are therefore only 6 remaining permutations for Wales:

    either away to Bosnia, Denmark or Sweden or at home to Slovakia, Ireland or N.Ireland.

    Lets hope we win both games and Croatia beat Slovakia so that we can avoid the need!

    I echo the last paragraph, otherwise this could well be a 20 pager

    We'd struggle against all of them if we didn't have our day, the way we have been playing for the last 18 months.

    Good spot DP - so a single play off game, if you win then a final?

    Denmark will finish top two. They are at home to Gibralter next. Didn’t realise it was a single play off semi final. Being away to the likes of Sweden or Bosnia would be tough.

    Taken from the UEFA site....

    "Unlike previous play-offs, these will be single-leg knockout matches, with the highest-ranked teams hosting each semi-final. The host for each path's play-off final will be drawn in advance on 22 November 2019."

    I've decided to take the last two games as a turning point and the "big man upfront" as Giggs's "5 at the back" moment

    Looking at that, if Slovakia qualify at our expense I think it could well be Ireland that we face
