| Team | Matches | Wins | Draws | Losses | Points |

| Spain | 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 15 |
| Turkey | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 10 |
| Georgia | 5 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 7 |
Spain has already clinched first place. A draw guarantees automatic qualification for Canada, Mexico, and the USA. They won’t need to play in the play-offs. Turkey occupies second and will likely secure a play-off spot. The math works in Spain’s favor significantly.
