Turkey host Iceland on Tuesday knowing a draw will be enough to secure a play-off place and see the Netherlands miss out on Euro 2016.

Turkey are in the driving seat for third place as they hold a two-point lead over Danny Blind's side who know even a win will not be enough if the Turks can secure a draw or better against the already qualified Iceland.

Netherlands face the Czech Republic, also already qualified, in Amsterdam and will need a favour in Istanbul if they are to avoid missing their first European Championship since 1984.
