With their hopes of automatic qualification for Euro 2024 hanging by a thread, Wales welcome Group D rivals Croatia to Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday.
While Welsh aims of a top-two finish realistically rely on winning each of their last three matches, their Croatian counterparts remain favourites to book a direct ticket to Germany despite suffering a rare defeat in midweek.
With five games played, Rob Page's side sit fourth in the table, level on points with Armenia, and three behind second-placed Croatia.
Both Wales and their next visitors have one game in hand on the other nations in a finely-balanced section, and it will play out before a packed stadium in the Welsh capital on Sunday evening.
After Croatia slipped up at home to Turkey on Thursday, the Dragons could still sneak into Group D's top two, but it may take victory this weekend followed by wins over both Armenia and Turkey next month to qualify automatically.
