How can Wales still qualify for Euro 2024?
Wales missed out on automatic qualification after finishing third in their group – four points behind second-placed Croatia.
However, Rob Page's me have been paired against Finland in their play-off semi-final.
If the Welsh win that encounter they will play Poland or Estonia for a place in the Euros.
A potential final clash with Poland is also a cause for concern as Wales have only beaten them once in ten attempts – and that came in 1973.
