Neither the format for these play-offs or the criteria for deciding the best two runners-up in the qualification groups has been announced.
The way it was decided before & I presume will be this time is that they use the results of the games invoolving the top 4 teasm in the group to get the 2nd best team in each group. i.e. dropping points to the last team in the group might cost a team 1st place but not 2nd place.
