Canada have already qualified for the World Cup from the Concacaf zone but both Mexico and the US need a point from their last qualifier to ensure they also compete in Qatar later this year. More details at www.soccer6.co.za.

M1 Envigado vs Atletico Bucaramanga: Envigado’s last three games all ended in 1-1 draws. Atletico have won one of their past five away matches.

M2 Union Magdalena vs Real Santander: Union have a record of 14 home wins in 18 past visits by Real Santander.

M3 Cortulua vs Fortaleza CEIF: First leg of their Copa Colombia tie. Cortulua have won their last two clashes with Fortaleza, who are one division below.

M4 Patriotas Boyacá vs Tigres: Patriotas are one division above Tigres. This is the first leg of their Copa Colombia tie with the return game on 6 April.

M5 Millonarios vs Junior: Millonarios top the league in Colombia despite losing last weekend. Junior have won twice in their previous five outings.

M6 New Mexico United vs Oakland Roots: New Mexico United are unbeaten but Oakland have lost their opening three games of the new USC season.

M7 Costa Rica vs United States: Costa Rica have to win handsomely against the Americans if they are to usurp them from a place at the World Cup finals.

M8 Jamaica vs Honduras: Both countries are out of World Cup contention and play only for pride in their final qualifying game in Kingston.

M9 Mexico vs El Salvador: Mexico need only one point to be assured of a return to the World Cup finals. There has never been a draw between these countries with 22 wins for Mexico and five for El Salvador.

M10 Panama vs Canada: Panama’s 1-5 crushing loss on Sunday to the USA ended their World Cup hops. Canada have qualified and one point will ensure they top the Concacaf standings.
