Bosnia & Herzegovina

Romania

Bosnia & Herzegovina have won four of the last five meetings, including a 4-2 victory in September. Their home record in this Nations League competition offers further support, while Romania arrive after two away defeats.

Denmark

Norway

Norway beat Denmark 3-2 in the sides’ most recent meeting, in the Nations League in September. Denmark are three points above Norway in the group, making this a significant clash in the final round.

Hungary

Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland lead Hungary by one point after five matches in League B Group B. Their latest Nations League meeting ended goalless, as both sides look to strengthen their position.

Israel

Austria

Israel have drawn their last three UEFA Nations League matches, but Austria won the latest meeting 3-1. Austria have secured promotion to League A and lead Kosovo by five points and Israel by eight.

Poland

Sweden

Sweden are nine points above Poland after five matches in League B Group D. The recent head-to-head record also favours Sweden, though Poland will have home advantage.

Rep. Of Ireland

Kosovo

Kosovo sit one point above the Republic of Ireland after five matches in League B Group C. Ireland will finish second with a win; Kosovo need to avoid defeat.

Ukraine

Georgia

Ukraine’s three-match losing run leaves them under pressure as they face Georgia in the UEFA Nations League. The visitors have also gone five matches without a win, and neither side has scored freely in this competition.

Wales

Portugal

Portugal are top of League A Group D, nine points ahead of fourth-placed Wales after five matches. The latest meeting ended in a narrow Portugal win, but this fixture gives Wales a chance to respond.

Friendlies

Brazil U20

02:00 Doha time

Peru U20

Brazil won the first November meeting with Peru. The rematch offers Peru an immediate chance to respond, without relying on an incomplete unbeaten-streak claim.

Singapore

13:00 Doha time

Brazil

Singapore lost to Paraguay and Brazil were beaten by Japan in their latest Singapore fixtures. Their next meeting is a chance to respond, rather than an extension of a Brazil winning streak.

China

15:00 Doha time

Bahrain

China have avoided defeat in their last three meetings with Bahrain, including wins in both World Cup qualifying encounters. That record offers a clear reference point for this friendly, though the teams’ limited friendly samples make the wider form comparison uncertain.

Kyrgyzstan

15:00 Doha time

Vietnam

Vietnam beat Chinese Taipei 2-0 and Kyrgyzstan won 3-0. They meet at Thien Truong Stadium in Vietnam on 17 November, with both teams on three points.

Kuwait

Honduras

Kuwait scored four goals in two home friendlies, while Honduras conceded seven in three away friendlies. That contrast gives Kuwait an edge, though the small samples leave room for another outcome.

Japan

16:10 Doha time

Paraguay

Japan beat Brazil and Paraguay defeated Singapore in their latest outings. Their meeting at Singapore’s National Stadium is on neutral ground, with both attacks carrying a recent positive result.

Qatar

17:00 Doha time

South Korea

Qatar have scored no goals across their last three Friendlies matches, while the last four meetings with South Korea are level at two wins apiece. The recent record points to a challenge for the hosts, though the head-to-head offers no clear historical edge.

United Arab Emirates

17:10 Doha time

Syria

United Arab Emirates have avoided defeat in their last five meetings with Syria, winning three. Syria’s four-match friendly record also makes the hosts’ recent attacking return a key comparison.

Saudi Arabia

18:30 Doha time

Uzbekistan

Saudi Arabia have won two of the last three meetings, including the most recent in 2021. Their latest friendly form also gives them a slight edge, though Uzbekistan’s scoring record keeps the contest uncertain.

Jordan

Australia

The relocated match is confirmed for Suhaim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha on 17 November at 19:00 local/Riyadh. Australia’s historical edge remains relevant, but Jordan’s home record is not a venue advantage here.

Russia

Venezuela

Russia have won five and drawn two of their seven home Friendlies, scoring 20 goals. Venezuela have conceded only twice in four away matches in the competition, setting up a contrast between home attack and away defence.

Iraq

19:15 Doha time

Iran

Iran lead the five-meeting head-to-head sample, but those older encounters do not determine this friendly. The comparison uses bounded historical records rather than a claim about either team’s current streak.

Poland U21

20:00 Doha time

Serbia U21

Poland U21 began this friendly competition with a win and a clean sheet, while Serbia U21 have scored freely across six matches. The contrasting samples offer clues, but neither side’s record settles the outcome.

Switzerland U17

20:00 Doha time

Czechia U17

Switzerland U17 scored five goals in two Friendlies matches but conceded six, while Czechia U17 have also been involved in high-scoring games. The recent evidence points to an open contest, with neither side’s defensive record offering much reassurance.

CONCACAF Nations League

Martinique

03:00 Doha time

Aruba

Most likely result Home win Low confidence

Martinique and Aruba are level after a goalless first leg. This is the second leg of a League A/C play-in for a place in the 2027 Gold Cup Prelims.

Trinidad and Tobago

03:00 Doha time

Antigua and Barbuda

Most likely result Home win Medium confidence

Trinidad and Tobago lead Antigua and Barbuda 3-2 on aggregate after winning the first leg on 12 November. This is the second leg of a League A/C play-in for a place in the 2027 Gold Cup Prelims.

Canada

04:00 Doha time

Guatemala

Most likely result Away win Medium confidence

Canada lead Guatemala 3-2 on aggregate before the quarter-final second leg at BMO Field. The first leg was played on 13 November locally, 14 November in Riyadh. The prize is a place in the March 2027 Nations League Finals and the 2027 Gold Cup.

Belize

Sint Maarten

Most likely result Home win Medium confidence

Sint Maarten lost 1-5 to French Guiana on 14 November. Belize’s four-match statistical sample offers a defensive counterpoint, while the fixture is played at a centralized venue in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Dominica

Cayman Islands

Most likely result Home win Medium confidence

Dominica have lost four CONCACAF Nations League matches in a row, but Cayman Islands arrive on the same run and have yet to score in the competition. The model gives Dominica a cautious edge, with other outcomes still plausible.

St. Lucia

Barbados

Most likely result Home win Low confidence

St. Lucia have won four straight CONCACAF Nations League matches, but Barbados beat them in their most recent meeting. The model gives the hosts only a narrow edge.

St. Kitts and Nevis

23:00 Doha time

Bonaire

Most likely result Home win High confidence

St. Kitts and Nevis have scored more and conceded fewer than Bonaire across five matches in the CONCACAF Nations League. That contrast gives the home side the edge, although both teams are coming off defeats.

Africa Cup of Nations - Qualification

Burundi

Zambia

Zambia sit two points and two places above Burundi after three matches, with both sides coming off a draw. Burundi’s home results in this competition offer encouragement, while Zambia seek a better return after their away defeat.

Ethiopia

Mozambique

Mozambique sit second and Ethiopia fourth in Group J, with just one point between them after three matches each. Ethiopia’s win in the teams’ most recent meeting adds another edge to this qualification fixture.

Lesotho

Gabon

Gabon have gone unbeaten in their last three meetings with Lesotho, winning twice. Lesotho’s three-match losing run and Gabon’s stronger group position add to the challenge for the hosts.

Malawi

Egypt

Egypt have won all three of their recent meetings with Malawi and arrive unbeaten in this qualification group. Malawi’s home record offers a counterpoint, but Egypt’s away win and clean sheet in the competition underline the challenge.

South Sudan

Angola

Angola won 2-0 on 14 November and now have seven points from three Group B matches. South Sudan remain without a point.

Tanzania

Nigeria

Nigeria are second in Group L, five points above fourth-placed Tanzania after three matches. Their recent qualifying meeting ended in a Nigeria win, but both sides have conceded five or more goals across their three games in this competition.

Gambia

Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast have won all three of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches and lead Group C by three points. Gambia, second, will try to respond after losing the sides’ meeting five days ago.

Guinea-Bissau

Madagascar

Group leaders Guinea-Bissau are five points ahead of third-placed Madagascar after three matches in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. The hosts have the stronger record in the competition, though their previous meeting ended in a draw.

Kenya

South Africa

South Africa are five points above Kenya after three Group D matches, making this a chance for the leaders to widen the gap or for Kenya to close it. Their latest meeting ended in a draw.

Libya

Tunisia

Libya sit two points and two places above Tunisia in Group H, with both sides having played three matches. Tunisia are seeking to end a three-match winless run, while Libya arrive after a victory in this competition.

Sierra Leone

Congo DR

Congo DR have won all three of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches and lead Group E, while Sierra Leone have lost all three. Their latest meeting, five days ago, ended in a Congo DR win.

Togo

Algeria

Algeria won 1-0 on 14 November, not 0-0. They have seven points to Togo’s three after three Group I matches.

Botswana

Uganda

Botswana have drawn all three Group H matches. A win would take them above Uganda, who are already qualified as co-hosts.

Congo

Comoros

Comoros are two points above Congo in Group G after three matches, with both sides level on goal difference. Their 0-0 draw four days ago adds a recent, cautious note to a fixture with standings ground at stake.

Liberia

Cape Verde Islands

Liberia have lost three Group K matches. A win would draw them level with Cape Verde, who won the latest meeting 4-2.

Mauritania

Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso sit second in Group F, four points ahead of third-placed Mauritania after three matches. The visitors arrive on a two-win run, while Mauritania have lost their last two.

Rwanda

Mali

Mali beat Rwanda 3-2 in the sides’ latest meeting and arrive with three straight wins in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. Rwanda are three points behind the group leaders and will look to make home advantage count.

Niger

23:00 Doha time

Morocco

Morocco have won all four of their listed meetings with Niger, including a 5-1 victory in their most recent encounter. The teams meet again in Rabat with Morocco top of Group A and Niger third.
