Wales are 5-6 to qualify automatically for Euro 2020 after defeating Azerbaijan 2-0 in their penultimate qualifier in Baku.

The Dragons face a winner-takes-all encounter on Tuesday against Hungary, 2-1 shots to make the finals, to decide who finishes second behind Croatia in Group E.

Slovakia are 10-3 for a top-two finish, which they can achieve if they beat Azerbaijan and Wales draw with Hungary.

Northern Ireland set for Euro 2020 playoff route

Northern Ireland's hopes of automatic qualification were officially dashed by the Netherlands, who they held 0-0 at Windsor Park, but Michael O'Neill's men can still make next summer's tournament via the Nations League playoffs.

That stalemate secured qualification for the Dutch but they have drifted to 9-2 to win the section, with Germany 1-7 favourites.

Belgium reign supreme in Group I

Belgium clinched top spot Group I with their ninth win in nine games after crushing Russia 4-1 in Saint-Petersburg, while Austria sealed second spot and Poland first in Group G following wins against North Macedonia and Israel.

Ireland prep for Group D showdown with Denmark

Ireland face a qualifying showdown with Denmark on Monday and bet365 favour the Danes, who they rate 2-7 to achieve a top-two finish over Mick McCarthy's 5-2 shots. Switzerland face Gibraltar in their final game and are 4-6 to top the group by winning.
