From the victory in Andorra (4-0), the English coach Gareth Southgate dotted the “i”: the finalists of the last Euro will go to Warsaw to win and “really take control of this group.” Not necessarily obvious on the ground of their main competitor for the first place, directly qualifying for Qatar: the Polish selection is the best attack of the group since its card 7-1 on the lawn of San Marino (18 goals, against 17 for the English ).
Under the threat of Switzerland, which is four points behind but two games less, the Italian European champions will try to return to victory after two consecutive draws, including one in Basel on Sunday, by receiving weak Lithuania (4 defeats in 4 games).
Germany will want to consolidate its place
Barring a huge surprise, Roberto Mancini’s men should stretch their unbeaten streak to 37, a record for a selection. The Swiss will travel to Northern Ireland.
In Group E, after having easily disposed of the Czechs 3-0 on Sunday, second and exempted from the game on Wednesday, the Belgians, with an Eden Hazard in great shape, will travel to Belarus to increase their lead in the lead. In ambush, the Welsh of Gareth Bale will try, them, to steal the second place of the group to the Czechs by receiving Estonia.
Germany, who have taken back the lead of Group J alone by thrashing a surprising Armenia 6-0, will travel to Iceland to consolidate their first place. The Armenians, them, should get back in the direction of the march by receiving Liechtenstein (5 defeats, 14 goals conceded).
Finally, the two leaders of Group B will engage in a distant duel on Wednesday: Spain, first with 10 points, will travel to Kosovo, and Sweden, second with 9 points but two more matches to play, will face Greece in Athens. .
