Serbia v Wales - Level of Importance, Score Prediction

[Zenith]

I think I'm right in saying that the last game that Bale missed was the away draw against Belgium. But they had already qualified.

Correct.

It's going to be tough.

We are the bore draw specialists and unfortunately with our strike force severely diminished, I can see no better than a stalemate.
Our defence needs to be rock solid and hopefully we might get 'em on the counter.
Not impossible if we lose but unlikely so I'm going for...

I can't see us getting anything out of this game. I'll happily take a draw here and now.

If Ireland beat Austria tonight a win is absolutely essential imo.

We need Serbia to win out now, they have to beat ROI in my opinion. We just need to make sure a win at CCS vs them on the last day is enough, that's all we can realistically hope for. Dependent on GD of course but the minimum is 3 wins and a draw. If ROI get anything out of Serbia, we have to win out.

You're right, because you have to fancy Serbia to win their other games - Moldova and Georgia at home, Austria away.

Just posted this on another forum:

As it stands, Group E looks like the second place could miss out on the play offs but we won't properly know until the end of game 9. This is why playing for a play off is madness, which Coleman alluded to last night (3 wins, 1 draw = 18 points). It might not be enough.

The current 2nd places are 13, 15, 13, 12, 10, 12, 16, 12, 13

5 of those just need two wins to get to 19 points, the groups on 12 need two wins and one draw. Group E on 10 needs 3 wins.

We can't get to 19, so it's either 4 wins out of 4 or risk for 18 points.

Just realised this post is pointless as the games against the lowest placed team do not count. It means for second place we are currently on 5 points with a maximum of 14 points play for. Though what it does highlight, is Chris Coleman seems to not know the rules himself as 2 wins 1 draw (forgetting Moldova) only takes us to a realistic 12.

Almost every second place at the moment except one are either on 9 or 10 points.

Gutting to concede but can't help feel proud of all the players.

I expected a big loss.

Glad there is still hope with the next game being at home aswell.
