Road A and Road B's will appears with just one match, because Ukraine - Russia war has effected that tournament roads too. Scotland - Ukraine match has postponed when it'll play on June.

Road C is more difficult than any other tournament roads. Portugal, Turkey, Italy and North Macedonia has included on that road. That road will erase a World Cup-favorite on the Qatar list. 4-time-champion Italy, 1-time 3rd Turkey and EURO 2016 winner Portugal will face for the last ticket.
Portugal's attacking and defending problem is still continues when it started from EURO 2020. They've a lot of attacking superstar and well-known defender, but they couldn't find any solution. These match or matches may be the last times in Portugal squad for their manager Fernando Santos. Because Portugal media and the fans are criticizing him since last year. And he couldn't make any change on his squad's tactics. Santos and legendary star Ronaldo have to pass that tours for the ticket. If they won't do it, they'll say goodbye to Portugal National Team.
Turkey has changed something after EURO 2020 fiasco. They've scored just 1 goal in the whole tournament. But they've kept Şenol Güneş's seat until the Netherlands match. They've beaten 6-1, and the federation (TFF) has decided to fire him. And they've appointed Stefan Kuntz. The German manager has focused on the counter-attack and dynamic football style in the Turkish national team. Also he's found a great squad depth when he's appointed. Turkey has a lot of X Factor player in their squad. For example; Atalanta's defender Merih Demiral, Leicester's well-known player Çağlar Söyüncü, Inter's playmaker Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Lille's veteran striker Burak Yılmaz etc. They have to change their destiny on World Cup history, because they couldn't take that ticket since 2002. Kuntz and Turkish players will fight with 20-year-longing too.
