To guarantee we qualify as group winners, we would need more than 23 points and our most likely way of doing that would be to beat both Israel and Andorra at home and get a draw in Bosnia - well within our capabilities based on our goal scoring form so far and our watertight defence!

You are right that after points, it is the head-to-head results between the teams on the same points which determines the position. As long as we don't lose by 4 goals or more on Sunday, we will have a better head-to-head record than Belgium, Israel and Cyprus

so a draw Sunday and Belgium not beating Cyprus, never mind losing. which i originally thought, would get us to France.

Assuming we drew, Cyprus isn't the problem...we would need Israel to bring another point
