Английская Википедия:2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA second round
Шаблон:Short description The UEFA second round was contested by the best eight runners-up from the nine first round groups from the UEFA segment of the qualification tournament for the 2018 FIFA World Cup final tournament. The winners — Croatia, Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland — of each of four home and away ties joined the group winners in the World Cup in Russia. These pairs of matches, also commonly known as the playoffs, were held in November 2017. The losers were Greece, Italy, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.
The draw for the ties was held in Zürich on 17 October 2017,[1] with the October 2017 FIFA World Rankings being used in deciding which of the teams would be seeded.[1]
Qualified teams
The eight best runners-up from the UEFA first round qualified for the play-offs; at the time of the draw, with two groups having one team fewer than the others, matches against the sixth-placed team in each First Round group were discarded in this ranking even after the admission of Gibraltar and Kosovo, and with all groups now containing six teams.[2] As a result, eight matches played by each team counted for the purposes of ranking the runners-up.
Ranking of the runner-up teams
The eight best runners-up were determined by the following parameters, in this order:[3]
- Highest number of points
- Goal difference
- Highest number of goals scored
- Fair play points
- Drawing of lots
