Who: Cyprus (131) vs. Serbia (37)
*FIFA rankings as of January 2013 via Soccerway.com

Where: Neo GSP Stadium, Nicosia

+ The White Eagles travel to Cyprus in preparation for a crucial qualification period. First on March 22, comes an epic Balkan clash between Croatia followed by a return home to host Scotland on the 26. Six points are critical if Serbia is to chase the 2014 World Cup dream.

+ The performance of 27-year-old defender Aleksandar Kolarov, who has been somewhat marginalized at Manchester City, is an interesting subplot to the match. He's a massive contributor for Serbia and without much first-team club activity, will the rust show?

+ Will 22-year-old midfielder Nenad Krstičić earn his first Serbian cap? Our team has tracked his development since 2008.

Speculative Final Score: Cyprus falls to Serbia 2-0.
