Five games 10 points for each of them.

Slovakia are on their way up, with a generation of great talents. Rep of Ireland are always almost there. Russia are amazingly error prone when it come to important games. Slovenia left them out in the last world cup, so an upset is still a possibility.

Do you dare to make a prediction here?

Well predictions are worthless, but obviously Russia has the strongest team (which often isn't enough). I would definitely like to see Ireland qualify since they got ripped off last time (world cup)

This group is very tight indeed, anything can happen really, it`s open. Slovakia can finish in the top 2 spots, they're improving while Russia will need to step up their game if they wanna make it.

1 Slovakia -- 10 pts
2 Russia ---- 10 pts
3 Ireland ---- 10 pts
4 Armenia --- 8 pts
5 Macedonia 4 pts
6 Andorre ---- 0 pts
