Given the level of their performances on Thursday, both nations head into this contest full of confidence. While all three results are possible, we are going to back Croatia to edge this contest, forcing Russia to take a spot in the playoffs.

Slovakia end their World Cup qualifying campaign against Malta on Sunday afternoon looking for the victory which would secure third position in Group H.

Germany will seek to round off a near flawless World Cup 2022 Qualifying campaign in perfect fashion when they travel to Armenia for the final matchday on Sunday night.
Hansi Flick's side are riding off into the sunset at the top of Group J, while their hosts still have the slimmest chance of claiming second spot and a path into the playoffs.
We say: Armenia 0-4 Germany
Even with a much-changed and ravaged squad, Germany's potent youngsters possess the necessary firepower to chalk up another emphatic win over their confidence-depleted hosts.
Armenia's strong start to Group J has since become a nightmare, and Caparros's side will surely be kept waiting for their World Cup bow as Flick's men run riot.

With their hopes of a playoff place on the line, Romania travel to rock-bottom Liechtenstein for their final game of World Cup 2022 Qualifying on Sunday.
As for the confidence-depleted hosts, Group J cannot end soon enough after they were embarrassed 9-0 by Germany on Thursday night.
We say: Liechtenstein 0-3 Romania
The result of this game will pale into insignificance for Romania should North Macedonia produce the goods against Iceland, but Radoi's men will seek to rediscover their goalscoring touch against their lowly hosts.
Liechtenstein have been leaking goals at an alarming rate in Group J but should keep the scoreline at a more respectable level this time, with Romania hardly renowned for any sort of ruthlessness.

North Macedonia will endeavour to assure themselves of a place in the World Cup 2022 playoffs when they face off against Iceland on the final day in Group J.
The hosts marched to an emphatic 5-0 win over Armenia last time out, while their eliminated opponents played out a goalless draw with Romania.
We say: North Macedonia 2-1 Iceland
Goals have been extremely hard to come by for North Macedonia on home turf, but they have appeared to rediscover their magic touch at just the right time, if the thrashing of Armenia is anything to go by.
Iceland will be determined to end their doomed campaign on a high note and have proven more resilient in recent games, but with a spot in the playoffs at stake, North Macedonia should make use of their home advantage to clinch second place.

We say: Portugal 1-1 Serbia
This has all of the makings of a terrific game of football, and it will be fascinating to see what occurs in Lisbon. Portugal cannot afford to simply play for a point against a talented Serbia, but we can see this match finishing level, with Santos's team advancing to the World Cup and Serbia having to accept a playoff spot.
