Poland will be guaranteed a spot at the Euro 2008 finals with victory over
Belgium next month, though Portugal, Serbia and Finland could take top spot
from them. Finland take on Portugal in their final group game, which could
prove the decider.

7 Faroe Islands 11 0 0 11 3 40 -37 0
It's a three-way fight for two places between Scotland, Italy and France.
Scotland have played a game more than the other two but a win in their final
match against Italy will see them go through, though the Scots could qualify
without a win if other results go their way. France face what could be a
crucial final group game in Ukraine.

7 Malta 10 1 2 7 9 22 -13 5
Greece go through after securing at least a top-two place with two games to
spare. It looks to be a fight between Turkey and Norway for the second
qualifying spot, the latter having a game in hand, though Bosnia-Herzegovina
could still make it if they win their two remaining games and other results go
their way.

Germany are through and the Czech Republic will join them if they can claim a
point from their last three games or their only possible rivals Cyprus fail to
win their remaining two.

Croatia need just one point from their remaining two games to qualify. Russia
will qualify if they win their remaining two games, while England, who play
Croatia at Wembley in their last game, need Russia to slip up.

7 Liechtenstein 11 2 1 8 8 28 -20 7
Only an unlikely combination of results and head-to-head comparisons can stop
Sweden from qualifying, who need just a point from their last two games to make
sure. Spain will also qualify with three points from their last two games.
Denmark and Northern Ireland both need to win their remaining two games and
hope other results go their way.

Romania will qualify if they beat Luxembourg and if Bulgaria lose against
Albania. Two wins and a draw for Holland from their final three games against
Slovenia, Luxembourg and Belarus will see them through regardless of other
results.
