M1 Algeria vs Burkina Faso: Decisive match in Blida where hosts Algeria need to avoid defeat to advance to the next stage of the World Cup qualifiers. Burkina Faso let the ball slip in a 1-1 draw against Niger on Friday.

M2 Liberia vs Central African Republic: Both sides out of World Cup contention and clash in Tanger where Liberia lost to Nigeria on Saturday. CAR have four points in African Group C while Liberia have three.

M3 Nigeria vs Cape Verde Islands: Nigeria need only draw at home to advance in World cup qualification but will be mindful that they suffered a shock loss at home last month when they hosted the Central African Republic. If Cape Verde win, they progress.

M4 Cameroon vs Ivory Coast: Heavyweight clash to decide top place in African World Cup qualifying Group D where the Ivorians must avoid defeat away in Yaounde to edge out the Indomitable Lions.

M5 Morocco vs Guinea: Morocco are looking to complete the group with a 10 percent record, having secured top place. Guinea have drawn four of their five group qualifiers in this World Cup campaign.

M6 Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Ukraine: Bosnia’s 3-1 home loss to Finland on Saturday ended their World Cup but Ukraine must win this one to stand any chance of progress to the playoffs.

M7 Montenegro vs Turkey: Turkey can still top Group G but must win in Podgorica where Montenegro came from 0-2 down to hold the Netherlands to a draw on Saturday.

M8 Netherlands vs Norway: Winner-takes-all tie in an empty De Kuip stadium after the Dutch government said it was banning spectators at sports events for the next three weeks to fight a new surge in COVID-19 cases.

M9 Wales vs Belgium: Wales need only a point to finish second in Europe World Cup qualifying Group E while Belgium have already won and qualified for next year’s finals in Qatar.

M10 Bolivia vs Uruguay: Bolivia have won two of their last three World Cup qualifiers but sit second from bottom. Uruguay have suffered three successive losses and conceded eight goals in the process.
