Estonia, who have completed their fixtures, could reach the playoffs for the first time, but if Serbia win in Slovenia, they will go into the playoffs instead. Italy, already through, should sign off with a win over Northern Ireland in Pescara.

Luxembourg 10 1 1 8 3 21 4
France face Bosnia in the group decider in Paris and a win or draw will see the Euro 2000 champions safely through. France were too strong for Bosnia when they beat them 2-0 at home last year and another French win is probable. Both are assured of a playoff place at least.

With the Netherlands already through, Sweden will qualify directly as the best runner-up if they beat the Dutch in Stockholm. Hungary could finish level on points with Sweden if they beat Finland and Sweden lose, but they cannot finish higher than third as Sweden have the better head-to-head record against Hungary.

Malta 9 0 1 8 4 19 1
Greece need just a point from their visit to Georgia to win the group as they have a better head-to-head record against Croatia, but if they lose and Croatia beat Latvia at home, Croatia will steal top spot. Either way neither can finish lower than second and at worse, will be in the playoffs.
