They still have to play their way in. Could still be no Buffon, Bonucci, Shaqiri, Xhaka, Modric, Rakitic. Sweden are unseeded too, so there's a 3/4 chance they'll face one of the other three (although with Zlatan retiring from internationals, the closest thing Sweden have to a big name is Lindelof - forgot Zlatan left the team) Ivory Coast need to win away at Morocco to top their group in African qualifying, so Aurier, Bailly, Doumbia...

Italy/Switzerland/Croatia/Denmark are the seeded playoff teams Sweden/Ireland/Northern Ireland/Greece are the non-seeded. Zlatan will have to beat one of the seeded teams, but he's technically not yet out.

If they face any of the other seeded teams (Italy, Croatia, Switzerland) they've already lost. Ireland can definitely take Denmark out though, and a 1/4 chance is more than USA have Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/44605-world-cup-qualifying/page/2/#findComment-478361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland vs Denmark: I'd honestly favor Ireland. Barely, but I'd favor them. I'd say 55-60% or so. Ireland vs Switzerland: Maybe 25%. Ireland vs Croatia: 15 or so. Ireland vs Italy: lol. Single digits. I'd like that to happen though - so many big teams out, if Italy got out, it would make things very interesting...
