Italy, Germany Set To Finish Qualifying Job

[Folami David]

No World Cup finals would be complete without Italy and Germany on the cast list, and both nations will take their places in next year's Brazil showpiece with victories on Tuesday.
.
Four-time world champions Italy will qualify if they beat the Czech Republic in Turin, while Germany, bidding for their 16th successive appearance, can follow suit with a win over the Faroe Islands, though a Sweden victory against Kazakhstan would delay the Germans' passage.
.
The Netherlands, assuming they beat Andorra, will be guaranteed top spot in Group D if Romania fail to beat Turkey.
.
For other European powerhouses the task is less straightforward.
.
England will be wary of their trip to Ukraine despite going top of Group H after a 4-0 win over Moldova on Friday. Ukraine warmed up for the potential group decider with a 9-0 hammering of San Marino.
