They have been drawn in a decent group, Group B, which consists of the likes of Sweden, Switzerland, and Kosovo.

They will have a good chance of qualifying for the tournament next year as they boast a top squad that work their way to ease past the teams in their group. However, Sweden and Switzerland will be a big challenge that they will have to overcome.
