For us to top the group, which is still on we would need need to win all three remaining games.
Beating Ireland in that run would put us above them anyway so i'd say we need Serbia to drop as many points as possible starting tonight. If they loose or draw one of their two remaining games we would finish top. [Post edited 5 Sep 2017 19:00]

Play off will be tricky, so I'd go for draw or Ire wain to throw group wide open. We can win our last three games including ireland so let's shoot for top spot. |  | | |

Unfortunately can't see how you come to that conclusion, we can still win the group with three wins, I'd prefer the Republic to win, and beat them in the last game |  |

But if we don't beat them in the last game, we won't even finish second! |  | | |

I'd be more than happy to go into the last game knowing a win could guarantee qualification | |

Ireland win then Austria take a point off Serbia we win our last 3 and will top the group.
A draw would still leave Serbia as big favs to win the group. |  |

I'd prefer a draw and we win then we would go above RoI on GD.
I then hope Austria can hold Serbia in the next game and we beat Georgia. We then go into the final game v RoI knowing they have to beat us to go above us. Last thing we want is for RoI coming to CCS above us and shutting shop. |  | | |

1) A draw is best I'd say as it hedges our bets. (increases our chances of finishing top but also helps us finish 2nd).
2) Serbia win means we would be favourites to finish 2nd and wouldn't even need to beat Georgia, a draw would do (although we may need to beat them anyway depending on what is going on in the other groups).
3) Ireland win means we could win all of our games and still only finish 2nd...although it would be a good 2nd on 20 points and most likely carry us through to the playoffs...one f*ck up though and we are out. |  |

A draw would leave Serbia just needing 4 points to top the group.
They have Moldova to play at home as well. | |

We're on 11 points at the moment, the lowest second place team outside our group is on 14. If we finish second, we run a big risk of having the lowest points total for a runner up and missing the playoffs anyway.
I think we need to win all 3 games and seeing as that would guarantee finishing above Ireland, I think an Irish win would be the best result. | | | |

I'm with you, would prefer a shootout to win the group | |

A win and a draw in the last 2 games guarantees we come 2nd.
If it's one of the best 8 from 9 who knows .
2 wins and it will be OK
Serbia are the best team in the group and will deserve to win it. | | | |

Which is a sad state considering they were seeded in Pot 3 for the drawing. | | | |

Republic will be guaranteed three points home to Moldova next, we will have to vastly improve against Georgia to get anything. Can see the Republic game being must win to guarantee 2nd | |

Second is the best possible outcome now - Serbs will munch Moldova in Serbia. It's going to come down to winning the last game for a play off place. I can feel it. |  |

As it stands. Beating Georgia is vital |  | | |

They have Georgia home last game, not Moldova, Georgia going to be one tough game away for us. I agree about the last game | |

We meet the Republic last game and we win and eliminate them ?
Doesn't get much better than that | |

How does that work, does it exclude results against the bottom team? | | | |

Bosnia have Belgium home next and Estonia away final game of the group.
We should pick up more points than Bosnia. Estonia beat Croatia 3-0 at home in march. |  | | |

I'd think two wins would do it. A win in Georgia and a draw at home to Ireland would get us second, but it would be touch and go for the playoffs | | | |
