Friday's European Qualifiers... which game should you watch?

Sweden forward and captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic (C) celebrates with teammates after scoring second goal v Estonia and his 50th goal for his country

There is plenty of football across the continent on Friday in the European Qualifiers. Here's the action to look out for, with all games covered on Sky Sports.

(all kick-offs 7.45pm)

Macedonia v Belarus (Sky Sports via the red button)

Macedonia’s form in their last seven home games reads LWLWLWL, while Belarus have not won a competitive away game since a famous 1-0 win at France in 2010. England's Anthony Taylor will referee this one...

Watch if you’re a fan of West Brom: Half of Macedonians to play in the Premier League have played for the Baggies.

Slovakia v Luxembourg (Sky Sports via the red button)

Slovakia have won their first four UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying games, and are one of only four sides to still boast a 100% record in qualifying, along with the Czech Republic, Israel and England. Martin Skrtel, Marek Hamsik and Co could be Europe’s surprise package next summer…

Spain v Ukraine (Sky Sports 5)

Ukraine are level on points with Vincente del Bosque’s side, and could put a major dent in their automatic qualification hopes at the halfway stage. However, Spain are looking to go a 30th competitive home game unbeaten, a record stretching back to 2003.

Slovenia v San Marino (Sky Sports via the red button)

Much of football is about form, and last time out San Marino picked up their first UEFA European point, a 0-0 draw against Estonia in November. Will they sit back and relax or go for one better?

Watch if you’re a fan of QPR: Your away form isn’t that bad… San Marino have never won on the road.

Switzerland v Estonia (Sky Sports via the red button)

England are six points ahead of the pack in Group E, but the battle for the second automatic qualifying place is fierce. Slovenia, Switzerland and Lithuania all sit on six points, and Vladimir Petkovic’s side will fancy the victory at home to strengthen their chances…

Liechtenstein v Austria (Sky Sports via the red button)

Watch if you’re a fan of Newcastle: Friday night’s clash is a Euro derby of sorts. In six meetings, Liechtenstein have never beaten their rivals, and Toon fans won’t need reminding they haven’t beaten Sunderland in six outings. Coincidentally, the Tyne-Wear derby comes next weekend.

Moldova v Sweden (Sky Sports via the red button)

With first-place Austria away at Liechtenstein, Sweden have the opportunity to pull away from their rivals for second and put more pressure on top spot. They are currently four points adrift, but have an in-form Zlatan Ibrahimovic fresh from scoring five goals in two games for PSG. This could be a goalfest for the striker.

Montenegro v Russia (Sky Sports via the red button)

The winner of this clash could knock the other out of the running for the second automatic place, with both Montenegro and Russia sat on five points in Group G. But both are on an identical run of poor form, having drawn two and lost one of their last three after winning their opening game.
