Spain hosts Sweden with only one point separating the two teams in their final qualifying game and a direct World Cup berth up for grabs. Spain can settle for a draw in Seville. Sweden needs a victory to avoid the playoffs. Host Croatia faces Group H leader Russia. Russia has 22 points, two more than Croatia with one game left.
