- Russia (Group I)
- Ukraine (Group B)
- Turkey (Group H)

Which teams can qualify for Euro 2020 tonight?
Group F: SWEDEN – If they beat Romania away.
Group J: FINLAND – If they beat Liechtenstein at home or Bosnia fail to beat Italy and Armenia fail to beat Greece.
When are the play-off dates?
THE Nations League play-offs give the chance for FOUR more teams to join in the main tournament next summer.
Scotland must now follow this route after missing out on qualification from Group I.
All of the matches will be held in March 2020.
They will take place on Thursday, March 26 and Monday, March 30.
As of October 14, the teams set to be involved in Nations League qualifying are (teams confirmed in bold):
- Path A: Switzerland, Iceland, Bulgaria/Israel/Romania
- Path B: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Wales, Slovakia, Northern Ireland
- Path C: Scotland, Norway, Serbia, Bulgaria/Israel/Romania
- Path D: Georgia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Belarus
Should any of these teams earn automatically qualify for the tournament through the Euro 2020 qualifying phase, their play-off place will be passed onto the next best-ranked side from their League.
If there are less than four teams that are yet to qualify from a League then the spots are filled with sides from another League in accordance with the Uefa Nations League rankings – but group winners will not be moved up into a play-off with a higher League.
