It's Wales v Scotland in Friday's World Cup qualifiers.
For the Whitecaps' assistant coaches, that means a battle for pride and dressing room bragging rights between Carl Robinson and Paul Ritchie.
Both countries badly need the three points to keep themselves on the Road To Rio. A draw or defeat helps neither. It's going to be messy and there can only be one happy coach at the end of it all. Sorry Carl!
With the showdown approaching, we had to catch up with both Carl and Paul at training today and ask them what's it been like this week between the two of them?
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
<b>Paul:</b> It's been good. A bit of banter. Carl's always reminding me of my last game for Scotland, which was a 4-0 defeat against Wales and Carl was playing. So hopefully we can rewrite history tomorrow and get a little victory for Scotland in Cardiff.
<b>AFTN:</b> Do think Wales will let six goals in again Carl?
<b>Carl:</b> No. Definitely not against Scotland. They might let one goal in though. It'll be a good game. Obviously there's a lot of respect between the two teams They're both not in form at the moment, so it's an important game for both teams. I'm very confident with the Welsh boys.
<b>AFTN:</b> How would you sum up how the campaign's gone so far for Wales?
<b>Carl:</b> Terrible! It's been a very rocky start for Chris. A win over Scotland on Friday will kick start it again before they head to Croatia. So it's a massive game for us. Whoever loses this game is probably going to be out of contention. So we know that, we're prepared for that and hopefully we'll turn up on the day.
<b>AFTN:</b> Two disappointing draws so far for Scotland Paul. Do you think we can turn our campaign around?
<b>Paul:</b> Hopefully. If we can get a victory in Wales on Friday, I think that makes up for the two draws at home. We've got to win our home games to qualify for Rio. If we can get three points against Wales, as Carl was saying, it'll kick start the campaign, so whoever does lose on Friday, from my opinion, is out of the qualification. Whoever wins gives themselves a small chance.
We go to Belgium on Tuesday, which is another extremely difficult game. So if we can come out of this double header with four points, I think that more than makes up for the last double header.
<b>Carl (interupts):</b> You're in dream world if that happens! That's dream world!
[laughs from both]
<b>Paul:</b> That puts us back to where we want to be. Everybody, when the campaign starts, everybody wants to think that they can make the World Cup, but whoever loses on Friday, in my opinion, is finished for the qualification.
<b>AFTN:</b> So are there any little bets between the two of you?
<b>Carl:</b> Yeah! We've had a few bets. We'll keep them in house, but obviously there will be one sad person on Friday night. And it won't be me!
<b>AFTN:</b> Well, let's hope it is!
[more laughs and handshakes]
It's always nice to see the Caps camp relaxed and laughing, so it's good to have these international rivalries to get the banter going.
A happy dressing room, is always more productive, and the Caps are lucky to have guys like Paul Ritchie and Carl Robinson around. Guys who have played at the highest level and can share the experience and the fun with the younger guys in particular.
The Caps have also done a fun video about the big game. Take a look:
