Slovenia could potentially take their place at the Final Round next year if they beat Greece and Bulgaria lose to Iceland.
While it has no immediate implications in terms of early qualification, the head-to-head point differential between Slovenia and Greece could play a big role eventually in determining the group winner if Greece do grab the win.
Group B - Heraklion, GRE

Who could punch their ticket already?
Sweden had been hoping to possibly qualify early, but that is no longer in play after Montenegro scored a victory against Israel earlier in the window.

20:00 CET: Bosnia and Herzegovina v Russia (First meeting: 70-69)
Who could punch their ticket already?
It could be a Final Round return for the first time since the 1990s for Bosnia and Herzegovina if they manage to beat Russia, if Estonia also beat Switzerland. This scenario would see Bosnia and Herzegovina guarantee the top spot, leaving the other teams to fight for qualification via the runner-up route.
GROUP D - RIGA, LAT

17:00 CET: Denmark v Romania (First meeting: 55-70)
20:00 CET: Czech Republic v Italy (First meeting: 62-52)
Who could punch their ticket already?
Czech Republic could secure a place at the Final Round if they go 4-0 with a win against Italy on Sunday - but only if Denmark cause an upset by beating Romania.
While not in a position to qualify themselves, Italy will have their sights set on stopping the Czech winning streak and potentially overturning the double-digit deficit from their first head-to-head meeting, as two leading Group D teams jockey for the top spot.

16:00 CET: Turkey v Serbia (First meeting: 56-59)
Who could punch their ticket already?
Serbia can't formally progress in the current window, but they would move to 4-0 with a win against Turkey and therefore be knocking on the door of the Final Round very loudly.

22:00 CET: Finland v Portugal (First meeting: 48-71)
Who could punch their ticket already?
Currently 3-0, Belgium could advance if they beat Ukraine, but they also need Finland to beat Portugal. This is the only scenario that would guarantee the Belgian Cats a spot in the Final Round by the end of the window.

Who could punch their ticket already?
Two wins in the November window would have clinched FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2021 berth for Netherlands, but after Group H hosts lost to Slovakia, this group has been blown wide open.

15:30 CET: North Macedonia v Germany (First meeting: 40-105)
18:45 CET: Croatia v Latvia (First meeting: 83-65)
Who could punch their ticket already?
Hoping to make it to the Final Round after missing the last two editions of the event, Croatia will not be able to formalize their plans even if they beat Latvia to go 4-0. That's because Germany have inserted themselves into the conversation for the group crown with a win against Latvia, regardless of how the game against North Macedonia goes.
