Bully Wee Villa Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 The top group has a tournament to decide overall Nations League Champion and a separate competition to provide a qualifier for the Euros. And Switzerland have just scored a fifth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Thought the good peeps on this thread might be able to tell me if I've got something right or not. If Finland lose tonight (they're 2-0 down), they'll have 6 points from the games not including the bottom team. Serbia have played all their games against the other top 3 teams and have 8 points. If we beat Israel we'll have 9 points... am i right in thinking that we'll have a home semi-final (probably against Finland) if we beat Israel?This is correct as far as I can see.

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Scotland would play either Finland, Norway/Bulgaria or Serbia/Romania. Unless the team(s) in question qualify automatically in which case next best non-qualifiers would take their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A home semi-final and a 50-50 chance of a home final against two other teams in League C has to be by far our best chance of qualifying for Euro 2020.

Shannon Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I am starting to understand the Nations League and is a much better format than meaningless friendlies. But what if for example all group A teams qualify through normal Euro qualification (top 2) which is in my opinion quite likely who then plays off for the group A qualification spot?! Does it go to teams in group B?! Or even if just two in group A don't qualify do they just play off? Totally agree best way for Scotland to qualify will be to beat Israel then a home semi final game so very big game for us. Or would have to finish second in 5/6 team Euro qualification group.

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 There are always four in the playoffs. If there aren't enough teams in a given division who haven't qualified automatically, then teams are added from a lower tier. However, group winners will always playoff in their own divisions, they won't be bumped up a division to make up the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
