We begin by monitoring the last 10 matches in the European qualifiers for the next World Cup. Several head-to-head matches will decide the tickets to the Canada-US-Mexico 2026 finals. Spain could lose by 6 goals to Türkiye to qualify; Switzerland needs a draw with visiting Kosovo, and with Austria, the same thing against Bosnia and Herzegovina, but on home soil. Denmark will also be part of the World Cup if it achieves equality, but it will face Scotland face to face, because one point separates them. Finally, Belgium is comfortable and will host Liechtenstein, an easily accessible rival.
