I think Wales have had the two toughest sides they could've faced.
Bosnia won five of their eight qualifying games, and are clearly a competent side.
Italy aren't the side they once were. There's definitely been a dip.

Potential final matches:

Northern Ireland have played Italy 11 times previously, winning just once against the Azzurri and that came all the way back in 1958.
Those looking for a good omen will note, however, the famous result helped the side qualify for that summer's World Cup in Sweden.
Could history repeat itself?
Well, going off Fifa rankings that's the hardest draw Northern Ireland could have faced.
Given that even if they win in Italy, they'll be on the road again in a potential final against either Wales or Bosnia, things couldn't be much tougher for Michael O'Neill's side.

If Wales beat Bosnia-Herzegovina, that's six out of six play-off ties - for World Cup and European Championship qualifying - in the new format they will have played at home.
Two potentially tough ties but Craig Bellamy and his players will be delighted to be at home for both matches.

The Republic of Ireland have not played Czech Republic in a competitive game since the 2008 European Championship qualifiers.
The Czechs are three places above Hungary in the world rankings, so given last week's Irish triumph in Budapest, there's no reason for Heimir Hallgrimsson's side to fear a trip to Prague.
And, with the Irish at home in the play-off final if they get that far, their World Cup dreams remain very much alive.
Republic of Ireland will be at home if they reach the final! Beat Czech Republic and Denmark or North Macedonia would be coming to Dublin...
Ukraine or Sweden will host the Path B final and Slovakia or Kosovo will be at home in the Path C final.
Good news for Wales. If they beat Bosnia, they will host either Italy or Northern Ireland in the play-off final.
Path D
DENMARK v NORTH MACEDONIA
Get past Czech Republic and Republic of Ireland would be up against one of these two...

TURKEY v ROMANIA
