Race for World Cup berths heats up in EuropeDenmark could clinch their place at the 2022 World Cup over the course of the next week. European champions Italy, Spain, France and Belgium take centre stage contesting the Final Four in Milan and Turin, but five of the 10 automatic World Cup qualifying spots could be secured come next Tuesday. The inaugural Nations League winners could theoretically qualify for the World Cup with two games to spare, but only if Serbia slip up against both Luxembourg and Azerbaijan. Stale Solbakken's side are tied with the Netherlands atop Group G on 13 points as they target a first World Cup since 1998. Croatia, the 2018 World Cup runners-up, and Russia are the pacesetters in Group H, but Slovakia cannot be discounted either.
