WALES will play Finland in their Euro 2024 play-off semi-final.<\/strong><\/p>\n If Rob Page's side win that encounter they will play Poland or Estonia for a place in the Euros.<\/p>\n Wales missed out on automatic qualification after finishing third in their group – four points behind second-placed Croatia.<\/p>\n But they are unbeaten in four competitive matches so they could be quietly confident they can reach a third successive major tournament.<\/p>\n They will also be encouraged by the fact they are unbeaten in their four previous meetings with Finland dating back to 2013.<\/p>\n However Markku Kanerva's side have won six of their last nine matches and recently thrashed Northern Ireland 4-0.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Elsewhere Israel face Iceland in Path B, with the victor playing the winner of Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Ukraine in the final.<\/p>\n While in Path C two previously confirmed ties see Georgia vs Luxembourg and Greece vs Kazakhstan battle it out for a place in Germany.<\/p>\n The semi-final ties will take place on March 21 with the three finals set for March 26.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Ukraine will also fancy their chances of qualifying after narrowly missing out on automatic qualification from a group containing Euro 2020 finalists England and Italy.<\/p>\n In fact, some fans felt they were robbed of a place after VAR failed to award them a penalty against Italy – a match they drew 0-0 which meant they missed out on second place due to goal difference.<\/p>\n
