Georgia will look to make history by qualifying for a European Championship for the first time but will have to get past Greece to do so.
The Greeks surprised many when they won the tournament in 2004 and will be looking to enjoy another deep run in the competition twenty years later. The two sides will meet in play-off C.
In play-off A, two giants of European football will meet when Wales take on Poland. Wales beat Finland 4-1 to book their place in this fixture, while Poland won 5-1 to earn their spot.
In play-off B, Iceland and Ukraine will battle it out for a spot in the tournament. The game will be contested in Poland due to Russia’s continued illegal invasion of Ukraine.
