QUALIFICATION UNDECIDED

The last 6 group matches decide the final best-third places. Read top to bottom in kick-off order; every column is one path of results. A cell is green if Austria can still go through down that path, orange if it comes down to goals / goal difference, red if out. 6 through · 5 too close to call · 1 out.

These footnotes only apply to the scenarios whose cells carry their number above.

If you finish 3rd you will be on 3 points, level with the other thirds already on 3 points. The eight best-third places are then settled on goal difference, then goals scored, so it comes down to your own goal difference, and you go through by finishing above enough of these:
• Group A:

South Korea GD -1, 2 GF
• Group C:

Scotland GD -3, 1 GF
• Group G:

Iran GD 0, 3 GF
• Group I:

Senegal GD +2, 8 GF

If you finish 3rd, whether you go through comes down to the goal difference between you and the third-placed team in this group:
• Group K:

Uzbekistan GD -7, 1 GF

If you finish 3rd, whether you go through comes down to the goal difference between you and the third-placed team in this group:
• Group L:

Croatia GD -1, 3 GF
