Can Lens still qualify?

Lens can still finish anywhere from 1st to 36th in the 36-team table.

Direct to the round of 16 (top 8): In contention — a top-8 finish is still mathematically possible.

Avoiding elimination (top 24): 18 more points from the remaining 6 games would guarantee avoiding elimination.

Based only on points still mathematically reachable — a “guarantee” holds even if every rival wins all its remaining games. Try your own results in the simulator.
