A double header and an important round of Euro 2016 qualifiers in Group D in the next week or so.
Three countries vying for one automatic place in the finals and also one play-off spot behind Germany - most likely.
Poland and Ireland already have three points in the group along with Germany, with Scotland yet to get off the mark but they have played the toughest fixture in the group and got it out of the way.
Big game this round comes in Warsaw on 14 October when Poland take on Scotland.
The Scots beat us back in March this year with a late strike from Scott Brown, and following Poland for the last few years we are very good at getting home draws against the teams we need to be beating to stand a chance of qualifying. I'll say a 1-1 draw next Tuesday.
We also take on Germany this Saturday. I'm taking that game as if we get anything from it then it's a bonus. We've never beaten them but a point would be a great result given they are the World champions.
I fully expect Scotland to beat Georgia at home on Saturday, and there will probably be a goal glut for Ireland against Gibraltar. Tough game for ROI in Germany next Tuesday though - thoughts on all the games taking place in the next 7-10 days?
October round of Group D qualifiers

First time in years we have a squad with and nobody has withdrawn through injury. We are only really missing snodgrass who would of been a certain starter. I expect us to beat georgia and we are quite good on the counter attack these days so expect to score over in poland. Not sure about our defence though.

We're missing Blaszczykowski for the game and he's a vital player for us. Lewandowski scored four against Gibraltar but rarely scores for the national side, his only strikes in the World Cup qualifiers were two pens against San Marino and a decent volley at home to Montenegro.
You did, of course, beat us earlier this year so will be high on confidence. How good were Germany last month? We've got them at home on Saturday.
