Italy win to make it a two horse race
Table ater todays games
Wales still top the group with maximum points and could even afford to lose in Italy on September 6th providing they win all the other games.
While not mathematically impossible for Finland and Serbia to still get something from this group it would take an extra ordinary set of scores to stop Wales from at least a play off place.
A win in Serbia against a team that has collapsed in stature is essential to keep Wales on course for Portugal 2004.
