I am so nervous about our chances right now. I don’t think we’re qualifying out of League B playoff if it involves Ukraine in the final (if we defeat Bosnia/Herzegovina in the semi who we are 2-2-2 against), and I definitely don’t think we’re qualifying out of a League A playoff that could possibly include Croatia or Italy. If Croatia/Italy don’t go through League A playoff and they manage to finish top two in their group, then sure, maybe we have a chance if we get drawn into A (because from what I understand, we can get drawn into A in case of that scenario, but this is such a confusing playoff system when it’s first time), but I’m not the most optimistic about it and I think we have an 80/20 chance of probably missing out on another major tournament.

Imagine that, everyone imagines Czechia and Poland through before the qualifying cycle started and we may actually have Albania and Moldova into the EURO… if it goes this way, I’d love to see it though, not lying :DDDDD

Even if they were to play the match, what would Bulgaria be playing for? Well… really, nothing. Bulgaria is practically out as the League C playoffs will be Georgia vs. Luxembourg and Greece vs. Kazakhstan, seeing where those four teams are in their qualifying groups and their chances of direct qualification. It will slightly impact whether two of Hungary, Serbia, or Montenegro qualify, however, as if Bulgaria were to forfeit the match, Hungary would officially confirm qualification, with Serbia waiting for the result of Montenegro vs. Lithuania (a draw there means Serbia also officially confirms qualification). Even if Montenegro were to win that match, Serbia would probably qualify anyway because they face Bulgaria in matchday 10, at home.

It’s practically guaranteed that Hungary and Serbia qualify while Montenegro will watch the tournament from home, seeing as they cannot qualify for the League B playoff; Bulgaria is guaranteed to be going home as there is nothing they will actually play for here.

To summarize briefly, cancelled or not, this match affects something, but ultimately affects nothing.
