World Cup near for Spain, Bosnians to defend second place
Spain have practically qualified for next year's World Cup, but the reigning European champions do need at least a point to secure their spot on Wednesday. Bosnia-Herzegovina will want to keep Turkey at a save distance.
After their 5-0 crushing of Belgium, Spain just need a draw against Estonia to secure their group victory. This should not be much of a problem for the Spanish, who appear to be in great form with new-found passion following their Confederations Cup knock-out in June.
The Bosnians host Turkey in what should be considered a true six-points game, as that is the amount of points that is at stake in this match. If Bosnia-Herzegovina win, the gap with Turkey grows to seven points which means that a play-off spot is in the pocket. A Turkish win on the other hand, reduces the gap to just one point.
Belgium will have to try and overcome last Saturday's result with a good result in Armenia, although the match will be of very little importance.
