Northern Ireland, Sweden and Kosovo are among the sides Heimir Hallgrímsson’s men could come up against.
Regardless of what happens against England on Sunday, the Boys in Green will finish third in their group.
The Swedes are still favourites to top their group but they would be the team to avoid if they claim a runners-up spot. They caught the eye at the last Euros too. They were seconds away from a major upset by knocking out England in the round of 16 before Jude Bellingham scored a 95th-minute equaliser and the Three Lions went on to win in extra time.They are assured of at least a second-place finish, as they are well ahead of Cyprus and Lithuania in the group.
But for the sake of simplicity, we’re assuming Luxembourg, who have only picked up two points so far, won’t finish second and get a chance to repeat their famous win in Dublin in 2021. Many of their squad members play domestically or in Russia, with no footballer in Europe’s ‘big five’ leagues. A considerable portion of their squad plays domestically, though Leeds fans will be familiar with midfielder Ilia Gruev, who joined the Championship club from Werder Bremen last year.A team from group 4 would probably be the most welcome draw from an Irish perspective.At the moment, Faroe Islands are in pole position to claim second following their shock 1-0 victory away to Armenia, ending a seven-match winless run since they last beat Liechtenstein in a friendly last March.
