Broadcast info - Republic of Ireland vs. Moldova
Who's playing: Although they're in third place, and five points behind top-placed Serbia, Ireland still haven't given up hope of making a very late push to try to snatch a top two spot. However, they will not just need to beat bottom placed Moldova, but also hope that other sides, including Wales, and of course, Serbia, slip-up as well. In short, their fate is not entirely in their own hands.

Rankings & Permutations
Here's how things are in the group ahead of the matches
.png?q=75&w=634)
As things are, Serbia will qualify if they win, or if they draw and both Wales and Ireland fail to win, or if Wales lose and Ireland fail to win.
Meanwhile, Wales will secure a top-two spot if they win and the Republic of Ireland do not.
However, Austria must defeat Serbia and hope Ireland and Wales fail to win to stay in the battle for second place.
Preview
With both Georgia and Moldova already eliminated, it's that much more important for Wales and the Republic of Ireland to pick up maximum points from their respective clashes with the Eastern European nations. Top placed Serbia, who have yet to lose a game so far, are taking on Austria. It goes without saying that both Wales and Ireland will hope that the Austrians will do them a huge favor and hand the Serbians their first loss of qualifying, as a defeat for them, coupled with wins for both Wales and Ireland will close the gap to one point (for Wales) and two points (for Ireland).
On the final matchday, however, things will get very interesting. Wales and Ireland will then lock horns in what could make or break who potentially could qualify and who could end up going to the playoffs. Of course, that would require that Serbia lose to Austria and also end up dropping points against Georgia, something that seems highly unlikely given how well they have done thus far in qualifying.
