The Yugoslavs are favourites to finish on top of Group F as Germany, equal on points, face an Iran side buoyed by their emotional 2-1 defeat of the Americans on Sunday.

The Yugoslavs are trying not to sound too confident but obviously expect to score a few goals against an American side already destined to head home after the first round.

``I honestly don't think that the Germans will score more goals against Iran than we will against the Americans. Unlike Iran, the US don't have a chance of qualifying,'' said mid-fielder Slavisa Jokanovic.Germany currently head the group because they have scored four goals compared with Yugoslavia's three. Both teams have conceded two.

Yugoslav striker Darko Kovacevic is out with a thigh strain but defender Zoran Mirkovic should be back after missing the 2-2 draw with Germany.Savo Milosevic or Perica Ognjenovic will play up front alongside Predrag Mijatovic and Mirkovic is expected to replace Slobodan Komljenovic.
