The Netherlands, No. 3 in the group, has the day off. In Group 3, leader Bulgaria has a tough match at Iceland on a nearly grass-bare pitch in the national stadium in Reykjavik. Denmark trails by a point and should get three at Malta. They are home to Northern Ireland. In Group 4, Turkey and Sweden share the lead with 14 points.
Turkey is home to Macedonia and Sweden hosts Moldova.
In the remaining match, Slovakia plays at Azerbaijan. Like the neighboring Czech Republic, Slovakia suffered a critical loss 2-0 Saturday to Sweden. Turkey vs. Sweden on Sept. 5 could be the decider. No. 2 Scotland has the day off. Croatia has eight points but a game in hand on both leaders and needs all three points against Latvia.
