Scotland to face Ukraine at Hampden while Wales will host Austria before the winners meet in the final
Russia or Poland will host Sweden or Czech Republic
Italy or North Macedonia will host Portugal or Turkey
Three winners will reach Qatar 2022
Semis & finals will be played from March 24 to 29
Should Scotland be drawn against the Czech Republic it would be a rematch of Steve Clarke's side's Euro 2021 opener.
Patrick Schick famously scored an audacious goal from just inside Scotland's half as they cruised to a comfortable 2-0 win.
Scotland's form in the post-Euro international breaks will give them encouragement that they could exact some revenge against the Czechs however.
North Macedonia seem to be every seeded nation's ideal opponent but they are not to be taken lightly. A 2-1 victory in the group stages against a strong German side won't go unnoticed by any of the awaiting nation's coaching teams.
A late winner from Napoli's Elif Elmas secured a famous victory — in Germany too nonetheless.
The old adage of 'there are no easy games in football' is certainly the case in this play-off round.

Burak Yılmaz has 30 goals for his national side and Hakan Çalhanoğlu is one of the world's most exciting players when standing over a dead ball.
A 4-2 result in the opening stages of qualification — with a Yilmaz hat-trick thrown in the mix too — shows they are not to be underestimated.
