Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Serbia played their home match against Azerbaijan behind closed doors as they were punished for a previous crowd disturbance during their last match of 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification.[3]
  2. ^ a b The matches between Azerbaijan and Armenia were cancelled by UEFA with both associations receiving no points. This was due to the failure of the two national associations to resolve political and security disagreements.[1][2]
  3. ^ The match was originally scheduled for 17 November 2007, 20:45 CET, at Stadion Partizana, Belgrade, but was postponed prior to kick-off by Spanish referee Cantalejo, due to heavy snowfall in Belgrade. The match was rescheduled for 18 November 2007, 14:00 CET, but was postponed again to 24 November 2007 due to heavy snowfall.[4]
