England v Ukraine

A much sterner test than Saturday’s “we have to play to pay for wembley” game. Ukraine arrive having conceded just the one goal in their 3 games and are sure to shut up shop from the off.  Capello has instilled new belief in fans and players a like and this confidence should see them edge the match.

The two frontmen for Ukraine will have something to prove though, both flops in the Premiership, Voronin has fired Hertha Berlin to the top of the Bundesliga while Shevchenko continues to get splinters, just in the Milan dugout. England have conceded in their last 3 qualifiers and as we saw on Saturday, James will be called on to make some saves.

 France v Lithunia

The French dominated proceedings in the reverse fixture at the weekend, but struggled to break down a well organised defence. They have laboured on home soil in recent times, with the French public often being accused of being detrimental to the team, especially in the Stade de France. However, with Ribery in such fine form and Henry scoring again, the French should have enough.

 S.Korea v N. Korea

Aside from all the off field problems between these two nations, they have had to play each other 3 times already in qualifying. Each match has ended up all square, with two scoreless draws and a 1-1. The teams occupy the top two spots in the table and a draw looks worth a punt, nut nothing too serious.
