But a 3-2 defeat for second-placed Sweden in Bulgaria on Thursday means if the Dutch win their last three qualifiers, they could still finish second and advance to the play-off.

Sweden go to Belarus at the same time as Dick Advocaat's Netherlands play on Sunday (Sky Sports Football Red Button, 4.55pm).

Group B

Faroe Islands v Andorra (5pm)

Switzerland have been dominant so far in qualifying, winning seven from seven, but Portugal are hot on their heels as Group B becomes a two-horse race, with two points separating them.

The Swiss go to bottom side Latvia on Sunday (Sky Sports Football Red Button, 7.40pm), while Portugal face a tough test in Hungary (both Sky Sports Football Red Button, 7.40pm).

In the third Group B game, Faroe Islands host Andorra (Sky Sports Football Red Button, 4.55pm) with a play-off spot firmly out of reach for both sides.

Group H

Estonia v Cyprus (5pm)
Gibraltar v Bosnia-Herzegovina (7.45pm)
Greece v Belgium (7.45pm)

Group leaders Belgium will secure a place in Russia if they beat second-placed Greece, while a draw in Piraeus will all but secure qualification due to the Red Devils' superior goal difference. They kick off at 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports Football from 7.40pm.

Bosnia-Herzegovina are in with a shout of reaching the play-offs, sitting two points behind Greece with three games to go, and they go to minnows Gibraltar (Sky Sports Football Red Button, 7.40pm), who have conceded 33 goals in seven games.
