Croatia will be looking to earn the required point against FYR Macedonia when they two teams meet in their next Euro 2008 qualifier match on Saturday.

The Croats need just a point in their remaining two matches to book their place in next year's Euro 2008 finals in Austria and Switzerland. Croatia coach Slaven Bilic will be looking to clinch qualification this weekend and avoid facing England next with a place in the tournament at stake.

Bilic will be confident that his team will do the required work with Croatia yet to concede a goal in their last five matches, winning four and drawing one in the process. Bilic has called up Dinamo Zagreb forward Marijo Mandžukićto replace Nikola Kalinić who is suffering from a knee injury.

Meanwhile with Macedonia having no chance of qualifying from the group, coach Srečko Katanec will be looking to build up on the 3-0 victory over Andorra in the last match and end the campaign on a high. Macedonia are certain to end the qualifiers 5th in the group and Katanec will be pleased if the team manages to avoid defeats against Croatia and Israel.

However Katanec will be without influential striker Goran Pandev who has injured his thigh playing for Lazio. Artim Sakiri and Igor Jančevski have been recalled back into the squad after a long period of absence though Katanec revealed that he will not be naming any replacements for the injured Pandev.
