Ucraine - Croatia
I think this match will be very tight. 50-50 chances for both teams. Although Croatia has clearly a better team, Ucraine plays home and this could count.
Ucraine, even though gathered 6 point, played pretty weak 1-0 against Belarus and 3-1 win in Kazakstan.
Squad for the match against Croatia: Andrij Pjatov (Šahtar), Stanislav Boguš (Dinamo Kijev), Aleksanadar Šovkoskij (Dinamo Kijev), Vjaćeslav Ševčuk (Šahtar), Dmitrij Ingrinskij (Šahtar), Aleksnader Kučer (Šahtar), Taras Mihaljik (Dinamo Kijev), Grigorij Jarmaš (Vorskla Poltava), Vitalij Mandzjuk (Arsenal Kiev), Andrij Rusol (Dnjipro), Maksim Kalinjčenko (Dnjipro), Serhij Nazarenko (Dnjipro), Denis Holajdo (Tavria), Anatolij Timoščuk (Zenit St Petersburg), Evhen Levčenko (Groningen), Serhij Kravčenko (Vorskla Poltava), Aleksander Aliev (Dynamo Kiev),Andrij Voronjin (Hertha Berlin), Andrij Ševčenko (AC Milan), Volodimir Homenjuk (Tavria Simferopol), Evhen Seleznjev (Šahtar)
Shevecenko is out of form, Voronin is in a lack of form and Timoscuk is a good midfielder but not a great one. Except these 3, the rest are modest players withaout much experience in the international clashes.
Croatia wass defeated at home last round by England 1-4 and this is a great thing for them IMO. They though they were superiori, that they were already qualified. Now they are back on earth and i think Croatia will be extremly motivated saturday evening.
Squad: Stipe Pletikosa (Spartak Moskva), Vedran Runje (RC Lens), Danijel Subašić (HNK Hajduk Split), Vedran Ćorluka (Tottenham Hotspur FC), Josip Šimunić (Hertha Berlin), Dario Knežević (Juventus), Hrvoje Vejić (Tom Tomsk), Ivica Križanac (FC Zenit St. Petersburg), Dino Drpić (Dinamo Zagreb), Niko Kovač (Red Bull Salzburg), Danijel Pranjić (SC Heerenveen), Nikola Pokrivač (AC Monaco), Luka Modrić (Tottenham Hotspur FC), Jerko Leko (AC Monaco), Ognjen Vukojević (FC Dynamo Kyiv), Ivo Iličević (Gruether Furth), Darijo Srna (Sakhtar Donetsk), Ivan Rakitić (SC Schalke 04), Mladen Petrić (Hamburger SV), Ivica Olić (Hamburger SV), Ivan Klasnić (FC Nantes), Nikola Kalinić (HNK Hajduk Split), Mario Mandžukić (Dinamo Zagreb)
Kovac, Eduardo and Kranjcar are missing.
In my opinion i think Croatia will win this very important match and get back in the fight for the first spot.
