Napoli (ITA) and Lazio (ITA) are as yet dynamic in the UCL and can secure their spot by winning the opposition. They can likewise qualify by means of the positioning pathway.

Since Bury have proactively gotten a positioning space, and a limit of two clubs for each nation can qualify through that course, only one of Juventus FC (ITA), Napoli, and Lazio can in any case come to the Mundial de Clubes on positioning.

For Lazio to get an opportunity of guaranteeing the spot, they would have to come to the UCL last, and guarantee 12 extra positioning focuses on that excursion. Lazio presently lead Bayern Munich 1-0 following their first-leg home match and will venture out to Germany on 5 Walk.

Both Atletico and Barcelona can in any case qualify by means of the two pathways.

Atletico are in the container seat and could seal their spot on the off chance that results turn out well for them.

Jeonbuk take on Ulsan in an all-Korea Republic quarter-last (on 5 and 12 Walk), with Jeonbuk somewhat in front of Ulsan in the rankings - meaning they will get capability by winning this tie.

For Ulsan to qualify, they should overcome Jeonbuk in this tie, and will probably have to score focuses in the semi-last, as well. On the other hand, if Al Hilal - who face Al Ittihad on 5 and 12 Walk - win this version of the leg tendon, then, at that point, that would open up an extra rankings spot in Asia, which would permit the two sides to possibly go through.

While it is numerically workable for Al Nassr to qualify by means of rankings, they are depending on Al Hilal winning the leg tendon to open up a subsequent positioning spot, Jeonbuk keeping Ulsan from advancing, and afterward guaranteeing an adequate number of focuses themselves to surpass Ulsan. Al Nassr - who meet Al Ain (UAE) on 4 and 11 Walk - could likewise possibly get second spot in the rankings in the event that Ulsan wipe out Jeonbuk with least focuses prior to being killed in the semi-finals.
