Depends on Albania.

If Albania qualify, Wales play Albania.
If Albania fail to qualify, Wales play NI.
Well turkey are ahead of Albania now

That puts Albania 4th now, so looking very likely NI will play Wales as its likely somebody from Group F will pip Albania.

All of the former World Champions may be in the same half of the draw!

Only way Wales play Northern Ireland is if someone from Group E goes through and with Sweden and Ireland bot on oine point, that's highly unlikely

Sorry IGNORE my post on the previous page.

Wiki shows the combinations in the table (two thrids of the page down).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2016

It looks like Albania are going to miss out as I think somebody from Group F will pip them.

IF the third place teams come from groups B C D and F (the most likely scenario). Then:

France vs NI
Wales vs Turkey
Germany vs Slovakia.
Croatia vs 3rd place F

Great to have 3 home teams into the next stage.

France vs NI is going to be big!

Think you've got that wrong.

Lots of journos on Twitter say Wales play Albania or Northern Ireland and Albania are looking likely to go out so there's a very good chance it will be Wales v NI.

So the teams most likely in Wales's side of the draw- Belgium, Turkey, Portugal, Austria or Iceland, Croatia, Poland and Switzerland.

If Hungary draw and Sweden beat Belgium all that changes though.

Pretty sure Albania and Turkey are on the same goal difference, but Turkey have scored more goals so are just ahead of Turkey. Albania need Sweden and Ireland to fail to win, Austria the same and Portugal to lose

This confuses me. Turkey also need Sweden and Ireland to fail?

Nah Albania aren't likely to get out, since they're in 4th place right now with Groups E and F still to play.

It would take a number of results for Albania to qualify. Neither Ireland nor Sweden to win (which is probable), but Iceland will qualify if they draw, even if they lose by 1, Austria will also then get to four points, and then Albania would also require Portugal to lose.

Its requiring a lot.

Group F should push out Albania.

Yes but unlikely that Sweden will beat Belgium or Ireland will beat Italy. But if Portugal and Austria lose that puts Turkey through as well

Ideally don't want it to be Wales v NI . Can't cheer for NI then.

Still going for a Hungary win and Portugal going home!

But 3 'home sides' through so far? That's not bad....

Then Sweden and Ireland are OUT. They both need to WIN, draws aren't enough for either.

Its simple folks, If neither Sweden or Ireland win tomorrow, then the matches:

Wales vs Turkey
France vs Northern Ireland

Are confirmed, doesn't matter what goes on in Group F later.
