One of the outcomes Scotland would like to see is for Mexico to beat the Czech Republic and for South Korea to pick up three points against South Africa. This means that the third place team in Group A will finish with one point. If the above scenario were to play out, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar would draw in Group B, leaving Scotland halfway through qualification. If Egypt defeat Iran, the team that finished third in Group G will have far fewer points than Scotland&#8217;s three points. Uruguay have yet to win, so a loss to Spain would earn them two points and knock them out of Group H. Best 3rd place. It is not clear what will be enough for Scotland as some groups still have two games left, but four teams with fewer than three points and a worse goal difference will need to advance to the round of 32.
