The accounts of the Spanish National Team to be in Qatar

Spain wins (0-2), Sweden loses (2-1) and Luis Enrique's pupils regain first place in Group B. The defeat of the Red against Sweden (2-1) staggered the chances of achieving direct qualification for the Qatar World Cup 2022, but the goals of Pablo Fornals and Ferran Torres against Kosovo, as well as the two Greek goals, place the Spanish Selection as first in the group with 13 points, four more than the Swedish team (9) that still has two games less than Spain. We will have to wait for the next national team break to find out who will finally go to the Qatar 2022 play-off.

Now, both Spain and Sweden depend on themselves to finish the qualifying phase for the World Cup as the first group. Although Janne Andersson's team has played two games less than Spain and making full of victories it would surpass the Spanish team in the table, Both teams will have to face each other on November 14 in the match that will take place in Spain. In this way, a triumph for Luis Enrique's pupils against the Swedes would give them first place in Group B, as long as there are no punctures against Greece, the penultimate qualifying match.

Two very tough qualifiers

The format of access to the World Cup for the second is through the dispute of a repechage. In this phase of play-offs, the second classified of the group would have to play two qualifying rounds. This play-off would be played by the 10 second-ranked teams plus two other unranked teams that would be chosen by the Nations League ranking.

These twelve teams would be grouped into two knockout rounds. Both rounds would be played as a single match. Therefore, the only three teams that would qualify for Qatar 2022 would have to do so by winning two games. The first would be played from March 24 to 25, 2022, and the hosts would be the six teams with the best performance in the group stage..

The six winners of that tie would play their presence in the World Cup a few days later, from March 28 to 29. On this occasion, the host team would be chosen by lottery. Right now, the teams classified in second place, in addition to Sweden (with two games less than Spain), would be Serbia, Switzerland, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Scotland, Norway, Russia, Albania and Armenia.
