Coach: Ilija Petkovic
Tactics: Compact and well organised.
Star Player: Mateja Kezman - ex-Chelsea striker who is quick and sharp in the box.
Verdict: Topped a qualifying group which contained Spain so will be no pushovers. Kezman and Darko Kovacevic are experienced strikers who are likely to prove a handful. Have talented individuals and, if they click, could prove a dangerous outfit. Rugged at the back and must be disciplined.
