Croatia will attempt to qualify for their 5th World Cup this year after being ranked 18th in the FIFA World Rankings, since gaining independence from Yugoslavia in 1990.

Greece will attempt to qualify for their 4th World Cup, 3rd straight while being ranked 47th in the world.

Leg 1 will be November 9th in Zagreb, Croatia and Leg 2 will be held November 12th at Piraeus, Greece. Greece holds a 2-1-3 edge over Croatia.

Pick to advance: Croatia have a good squad on paper and should have booked an entry earlier. If their stars perform, they shouldn't find it hard to go through.
