There’s lots at stake coming into the final game of Group D with first to third all up for grabs on Thursday.
Ukraine are set to meet African side Nigeria, while the United States face Qatar.
The Ukrainian’s are top of the group right now with six points and a plus-two goal difference, while Nigeria have three points and a plus-two goal difference also.
A win or a draw for the European side will see them finish top of the group. Nigeria need a win, and hope USA don’t win by more in order to finish above them in the group.
Yes, it gets complicated.
USA are on three points with a plus-one goal difference while Qatar are on zero points and a minus-five goal difference.
The Americans can win the group if Nigeria beat Ukraine and they beat Qatar by more than Nigeria’s score.
Yes, it just got more complicated.
The winner of the group will meet the third place team from either Group B/E/F, while the runner-up of the group will face the first place team from Group E.
It is likely that the third place team in this group will advance, which means they could face the winner of Group A or Group B.
