The final stages of Euro 2024 qualification begin with the play-off semi-finals.

Our five selections feature the Path B contest between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Ukraine and the Path C fixture involving Georgia and Luxembourg.

Thursday 5pm

Back Georgia to beat Luxembourg @ 7/10

Georgia finished fourth in qualifying Group A but they had some good results - drawing at home to Scotland (2-2) and Norway (1-1) and look worthy favourites to win their play-off semi-final against Luxembourg in Tbilisi.

The Georgians have lost only one of their last 11 home fixtures and were 2-0 winners at home to Sweden at the end of 2022 World Cup qualifying.

Luxembourg fell short in the key matches in Euro 2024 qualifying Group J.

They failed to score in their four matches against Portugal and Slovakia and may struggle to cope with a strong opponent and a hostile crowd at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena.

Thursday 7.45pm

Back Ukraine to beat Bosnia-Herzegovina @ 10/11

Ukraine look the strongest of the teams in the play-offs and they can overcome the first obstacle by defeating Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica.

Serhiy Rebrov’s side finished a creditable third behind England and Italy in Group C and their only defeats were a 2-0 reverse to the Three Lions at Wembley and a 2-1 loss to the Azzurri at the San Siro.

Bosnia lost seven of ten matches in Group J and two of their three wins were against Liechtenstein.

Savo Milosevic’s side were beaten 2-1 Slovakia in their last home game and they look no match for Ukraine.

Thursday 7.45pm

Back Greece and over 2.5 goals vs Kazakhstan @ 5/4

Greece have not featured at a European Championship finals since reaching the quarter-finals at Euro 2012 but they can move a step closer to qualification by defeating Kazakhstan in Athens.

Gus Poyet’s side finished a solid Group B campaign with a 2-2 draw at home to France and they can post a high-scoring win at home to the Kazakhs, who were fourth in Group H and have never qualified for a major tournament.

Thursday 7.45pm

Back Israel to beat Iceland @ 6/5

Israel take on Iceland in neutral Budapest but a lack of crowd support may not prevent Alon Hazan’s side from advancing to the Path B final.

Israel were third behind Romania and Switzerland in Group I and they look a little too strong for Iceland, who lost six of ten fixtures in Group J.

Thursday 7.45pm

Back Poland to score over 2.5 goals vs Estonia @ EVS

Estonia look the weakest of the teams in the play-offs and could be on the wrong end of a heavy defeat against Poland in Warsaw.

The Estonians took just one point from eight qualifiers and are unlikely to put up much resistance against a strong Polish side captained by Robert Lewandowski.
