Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b c Order of legs reversed after original draw, due to the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict.[1]
  2. ^ The Israel v Wales match was originally to kick off at 20:45 (22:45 UTC+3), but was moved to 18:00 (20:00 UTC+3) as matches cannot kick off later than 22:00 local time according to UEFA's guidelines.[2]
  3. ^ The Israel v Macedonia will be played outside Israel due to the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict.[3]
