Those three teams cannot be worse off than two of the confirmed third-place teams - Northern Ireland, which lost 1-0 to Germany, and Albania, which finished its Group A program on Sunday - which have three points.
Slovakia, placed behind Wales and England in Group B on Monday, is assured of being one of the four best third-placed teams.

Gomes provided the assist for Nani's goal in Portugal's opening 1-1 draw with Iceland, the team's only goal so far.

Ireland coach Martin O'Neill says striker Jon Walters ''is very doubtful'' for the game against Italy in Lille on Wednesday.
Suffering from an Achilles injury, the Stoke forward skipped the team's final training session in Versailles on Tuesday morning.
Walters' injury flared up in Ireland's first game against Sweden, and forced him out of the following game against Belgium.
O'Neill says Walters might not recover in time for the match against Italy, which has already qualified for the last 16 as winners of Group E.
With one point from its first two games, Ireland must beat Italy to stand a chance of advancing from the group - a feat it has failed to achieve at its two previous appearances at a European Championship in 1988 and 2012.

Brief clashes have erupted outside Marseille's Stade Velodrome, with police using a water cannon and tear gas to disperse unruly Poland fans.

Scuffles have briefly broken out in Marseille's Old Port neighborhood ahead of the European Championship match between Poland and Ukraine.
Riot police fired tear gas and detained at least two people after rowdy fans threw bottles and fought in the waterfront streets that were the scene to three days of violence involving Russian and English fans and French locals early in the tournament.
The unrest quickly died down in the Old Port as the fans began walking toward the Stade Velodrome for the Group C match.
Poland supporters vastly outnumbered their Ukrainian counterparts. Outside the stadium, the atmosphere was noisy, but peaceful.
Ukraine has already been eliminated from Euro 2016 after losing its first two matches. A draw would be enough to ensure qualification for Poland, which is second in Group C, behind Germany on goal difference.

He added he ''will not participate in the Olympics'' in Rio de Janeiro.

A Russian fan group leader is being kicked out of France again, days after he was deported for alleged involvement in hooliganism and slipped back in to the country illegally.
Alexander Shprygin, who is suspected of ties to the extreme right, was detained with several other Russian fans and barred from French territory last week after violence around a match in Marseille.
Shprygin left France on Saturday, then returned Monday for Russia's match against Wales in Toulouse, apparently traveling overland from a neighboring country to avoid border controls.
He was detained again at the Toulouse stadium after tweeting about his return and posting images of himself online.
He has been ordered to leave France and is likely to fly out of Toulouse on a charter flight for Moscow on Tuesday, according to a Russian government official who was not authorized to be publicly named.
Shprygin sits on a Russian government commission overseeing Moscow's preparations for the 2018 World Cup. He has acknowledged posting pictures of far right symbols online but says neither he nor his organization is racist.

The head of Russia's football federation has blasted the country's players for a lack of talent and desire as they exited the European Championship in the group stage.
Vitaly Mutko, who is also Russia's Sports Minister, says fourth place in Group B with defeats to Wales and Slovakia ''shows the real level of our football'' ahead of a home World Cup in 2018.
Mutko tells Russian state news agency Tass that ''we don't have any top class players right now'' and that ''perhaps many have a lack of desire to grow, to move, to perfect themselves.''
Mutko adds Russia should focus on developing young players and improving the domestic league but ''you can't change anything in an hour.''
