When: 17:00 Where: AFC World Cup Qualifiers Quarterfinal
Oman The Omani national team narrowly qualified for the fourth round of the World Cup qualifiers by securing a 1-1 draw against Palestine in the last round. Oman is considered the outsider in this group, as the team does not have the quality to keep up with South Korea, Jordan, or Iraq. Despite their success in the last round, Oman will mostly need to rely on defensive discipline in this qualification phase.
Qatar Qatar had a disappointing fourth place in the group during the third qualification phase, which came as a surprise. As the reigning Asian champion, more was expected from Qatar. With Julen Lopetegui as coach, the team hopes to take the lead in the group. Qatar has players of high quality compared to their Asian rivals and will go into this match as the favorite, even though they suffered a defeat against Oman in another tournament last year.
Injuries No specific information about injuries on either team is available. It is assumed that both squads will play with as complete a lineup as possible.
Head-to-Head Last year, Qatar lost to Oman in a different tournament, showing that Oman can be competitive. Still, Qatar overall has the stronger game style and experience at a higher level.
Match Prediction Although Oman is playing at home, Qatar is the clear favorite in this encounter. The higher quality of the Qatari squad and the tactical leadership of Lopetegui point to a victory for the visiting team. Oman will find it difficult to compete against a stronger squad, so we recommend a bet on Qatar’s win at odds of 1.68.
My Tip: Qatar Win (1.68)
Tip
Indonesia - Saudi Arabia
When: 19:15 Where: FIFA World Cup Qualification AFC Region
Indonesia Although the hosts could not compete for the top two spots in the group in the third stage of World Cup qualification, reaching the fourth round is already an achievement. Under the guidance of Patrick Kluivert, the team showed a strong performance and only lost clearly to Japan and Australia. Indonesia has significantly improved in recent years and will pose a tough challenge to their opponent.
Saudi Arabia The Saudis regularly participate in World Cups but have struggled with the new qualification structure. They could not compete with Japan and Australia and finished third in the group stage. In the fourth qualification stage, they are considered favorites, but their mediocre results beforehand raise questions.
Injuries No specific injury information available.
Head-to-Head In the current qualification, both teams met twice: in Saudi Arabia, there was a 1:1 draw, while in Indonesia the hosts managed a 2:0 victory, marking their first success in the direct encounter.
Match Prediction Although Saudi Arabia is considered the favorite, the previous matches show that Indonesia can definitely keep up and should not be seen as an easy opponent. The hosts have improved on the pitch in the last twelve months and will give everything to stand their ground in front of their home crowd. Therefore, the tip on a Saudi Arabia win currently appears to be a safe bet with an attractive odds of 1.50.
My tip: Saudi Arabia to win (1.50)
Tip
Ethiopia - Guinea-Bissau
When: 15:00 Where: 2026 World Cup Qualification
Ethiopia The Ethiopian team continues to appear unconvincing, especially offensively they remain harmless. In recent qualifying matches against strong opponents such as Egypt and Sierra Leone, they failed to score a single goal against a team from the top 4 of the group. Defensively, they are also vulnerable and concede at least two goals in most games. Additionally, they no longer have a chance to qualify, which is likely to affect motivation.
Guinea-Bissau The "Wild Dogs" are on the rise under new coach Emiliano Té. After a longer dry spell, they recently secured a win against Djibouti and a draw against Sierra Leone. Under Té, the team plays more dominantly and relies on controlled offensive play, giving them an advantage over Ethiopia. They are highly motivated and urgently need this victory to keep their hopes alive for World Cup participation.
Injuries There is no information about injured or suspended players from either team who could significantly influence the match.
Head-to-Head The previous direct encounters between these two teams are comparatively rare. The current form and motivation clearly favor Guinea-Bissau, who have shown marked improvement following the coaching change.
Match Prediction Guinea-Bissau is currently the more stable and stronger team in play. Ethiopia appears disorganized; lack of scoring success and motivation will hardly be advantageous against a determined Guinea-Bissau side. We expect an away win, as Guinea-Bissau possesses the necessary will and playing ability to dominate and win the match.
My Tip: Guinea-Bissau win (1.75)
Tip
Libya - Cape Verde
When: 15:00 Where: Qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Libya Libya is still fighting for the chance to qualify for the World Cup after losing some important points in the group stage. In particular, the home draw against Angola (1-1) and the away loss to Cameroon (1-3) have made their position difficult. Nevertheless, everything is still in their own hands and they must go all out in the remaining games to qualify.
Cape Verde Cape Verde is close to a historic first-time qualification for the World Cup. They lead Group D with a four-point advantage over Cameroon and must mainly face the bottom-ranked Eswatini in their last two matches, which further improves their chances. For the upcoming away game, they are not necessarily dependent on a win, which might affect their motivation.
Injuries There is no specific information available regarding injuries; both teams are expected to enter the important match with their full squads.
Head-to-head encounters Historically, there have been few meetings between Libya and Cape Verde, so the previous record offers little clear indication about the outcome of the game. However, the situation in the ongoing qualification is very important for both teams.
Match prediction A tactically influenced game is expected, with Libya especially motivated to stay in the race. Cape Verde can afford to play somewhat cautiously since a draw could also be enough for them. Due to the rather defensive approach of both teams and the previous results, a low-scoring game is very likely. Therefore, we recommend the bet Under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.45.
My tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.45)
Tip
Mauritius - Cameroon
When: 15:00 Where: Africa World Cup Qualification
Mauritius Mauritius is currently in a crisis and has not won a game since June last year. Despite the long dry spell, the team shows fighting spirit and usually loses narrowly. In the World Cup qualification, the team has major defensive problems and is among the weaker teams with 15 goals conceded. Offensively, no goals were scored in 8 of 10 games, which increases pressure and significantly reduces the chances of a win.
Cameroon Cameroon is considered one of the stronger African teams, but has recently shown worrying form. The team has dropped points in the World Cup qualification and recently had to accept a defeat against Cape Verde. Offensively, the team is on average not particularly accurate and shows fluctuations in performance. Nevertheless, Cameroon enters the game as the favorite and will try to redeem itself with a win.
Injuries There is no concrete information about injuries on either team, so it can be assumed that the squads are almost complete.
Head-to-head encounters Direct duels between Mauritius and Cameroon are rare and usually characterized by a clear power imbalance in favor of Cameroon. However, Mauritius has shown that a heavy defeat recently is unlikely, indicating a certain defensive mindset and fighting spirit of the hosts.
Match prediction Given the defensive weaknesses of both teams and the inconsistent offense, we expect a low-scoring game. Mauritius will try to avoid a debacle through compact defense, while Cameroon will mainly be focused on calmly securing the win without taking many risks. Therefore, the bet “Both teams to score: No” appears very likely, as Mauritius often struggles to score themselves, and Cameroon, despite offensive efforts recently, has not been particularly effective.
My tip: Both teams to score: No (1.35)
Tip
Chad - Mali
When: 18:00 Where: Africa World Cup Qualification
Chad Chad has shown a surprising improvement under the experienced coach Raoul Savoy. Despite being at the bottom of the table, they recently managed a draw against group leaders Ghana and demonstrated an improved offensive focus with good chance conversion. The team currently presents itself as significantly more combative and effective in front of goal than before.
Mali Mali is characterized by a stable defense and has the best defense in the group during this qualification. With several clean sheets this year, the "Eagles" play thoughtfully with a deep defensive block and efficient counterattacks. Despite some absences, Mali remains the favorite and wants to maintain its chances for the World Cup.
Injuries Mali is missing several key players — Bissuma, Aidara, Sissoko, Doumbia, and Toure — which significantly weakens their offensive power and affects the squad overall.
Head-to-head In recent meetings, both teams scored goals, with Mali generally dominant, but a clear favorite victory is not assured given Chad's improved form.
Match prediction The game promises to be tactically shaped with tightly packed defenses. Mali is the favorite, but easy progress is not guaranteed. Due to personnel absences and Chad’s improved fighting performance, an evenly matched game is expected, with not too many goals. Therefore, we recommend the bet "Under 3.5 Goals" with odds of 1.45.
My tip: Under 3.5 Goals (1.45)
Tip
Djibouti - Egypt
When: 18:00 Where: FIFA World Cup Africa Qualification Group A
Djibouti Djibouti is the clear underdog in this group and has only earned a single point so far in the qualification. The defense is extremely vulnerable, having conceded 28 goals in eight games, almost as many as all the other teams combined. Offensively, they are hardly dangerous, having scored only four goals until now. The team leaves a weak impression and is not capable of seriously challenging the opponent.
Egypt Egypt is the confident leader of the table and has not suffered a defeat in eight games. The defense is very solid, having conceded only two goals. The team, led by star player Mo Salah, is well on its way to the World Cup and shows itself to be pragmatic and efficient. In their previous direct encounter, Egypt won decisively 6-0, with Salah scoring four goals. The motivation for this match is at its maximum.
Injuries There are no relevant injury reports known.
Head-to-Head Encounters In the previous direct meeting in this qualification, Egypt clearly won 6-0. The dominance was overwhelming, underlining the current difference in class.
Prediction for the Match Given the clear differences in quality, it is expected that Djibouti will not be able to score a goal. Egypt will dominate the match and is likely to create many chances. Therefore, the bet "Both Teams to Score: No" with odds of 1.35 is highly recommended, as Djibouti's defense is too weak to score themselves but also too vulnerable to prevent many goals. It will definitely be a one-sided game.
My Tip: Both Teams to Score: No (1.35)
Tip
Central African Republic - Ghana
When: 18:00 Where: Africa World Cup, Qualification, Africa
Central African Republic The Central African Republic team has already lost all chances to qualify for the World Cup during the qualification. They are not among the favorites and have shown a weak performance throughout the tournament, with only five points and 17 goals conceded, which means an average of more than two goals conceded per match. In the last five games, the team failed to score a single goal, which further accentuates the offensive problems considering the weak defense.
Ghana Ghana is on track for direct World Cup qualification and has assembled a strong team around players like Thomas Partey (Villarreal), Mohammed Kudus (Tottenham), and Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth). The Ghanaians lead the qualifying group confidently, showing a high goal-scoring rate with 17 goals scored and have secured three clear wins in the last four matches with an aggregate score of 9-0. The team is determined to successfully take the next step towards World Cup participation.
Injuries There is no specific information available regarding injuries for either team.
Head-to-Head Concrete data on direct encounters between the Central African Republic and Ghana are not available; however, the current team performances and table situation show a clear difference in playing strength in favor of Ghana.
Match Forecast Considering the current form, it is expected that Ghana will dominate the game. The Central African Republic has major offensive problems and will struggle to score against Ghana's stable and effective defense. Therefore, the recommended bet is that both teams will not score, as Ghana will likely secure the win without conceding a goal. The odds of 1.38 for “Both Teams to Score: No” offer a safe betting option in this uneven matchup.
My Tip: Both Teams to Score: No (1.38)
Tip
Comoros - Madagascar
When: 18:00 Where: Africa World Cup Qualifiers
Comoros Comoros shows a rather conservative style of play in this qualification, relying heavily on quick counterattacks. After a positive result against the Central African Republic (2-0), however, they suffered a clear defeat against Mali (0-3). The team urgently needs to adapt its playing style as the opponents are now better prepared for this tactic.
Madagascar Madagascar currently presents itself very strongly and plays at a level comparable to the best national teams in Africa. Despite a full schedule, the team confidently won against outsiders such as the Central African Republic (2-0) and Chad (3-1). The defense showed great stability, allowing very few chances. Offensively, Madagascar uses its opportunities purposefully.
Injuries No relevant injuries have been reported, so both teams are expected to field their strong squads.
Head-to-Head In the summer, the two teams met in the COSAFA Cup, where Comoros achieved a surprising victory. However, that match did not carry the same significance as the upcoming qualifier. Madagascar will be highly motivated to take revenge and confirm their status as favorites.
Match Prediction The encounter promises to be a tactically shaped duel, with Madagascar slightly favored due to their solid defense and finishing efficiency. Both teams rarely scored more than two goals in recent matches, which also suggests a cautious style of play. Therefore, betting on under 2.5 goals with the attractive odds of 1.55 is especially recommended.
My Tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.55)
Tip
Sierra Leone - Burkina Faso
When: 18:00 Where: Qualification for the 2025 World Cup
Sierra Leone The team from Sierra Leone has impressed with surprising performances and stayed in the title race until the penultimate matchday of the qualification. Especially the matches against Guinea-Bissau show a certain competitiveness, but overall it has not been enough so far to position themselves among the leading teams.
Burkina Faso Burkina Faso is on the verge of a historic achievement: their first-ever World Cup participation. Their recent performances are impressive, with three wins in the last four games and an important 0-0 draw against Egypt. Offensively, they are the strongest team in the group with 19 goals scored.
Injuries There is no information about injury-related absences in either team.
Head-to-Head Matches The last encounter ended with two goals each side, indicating a balanced and offensive duel. Since then, Burkina Faso has significantly improved defensively, as they recently proved in the goalless draw against Egypt.
Game Prediction Burkina Faso is well on its way to securing qualification for the World Cup. Their high offensive power and solid defense make them clear favorites against Sierra Leone, who are seeking their last chance to reach second place but are probably not capable of making this sporting leap. Based on current form and playing strength, we recommend the bet Win Burkina Faso with odds of 1.58.
My tip: Win Burkina Faso (1.58)
Tip
Tanzania - Zambia
When: 21:00 Where: Qualification for the 2026 World Cup
Tanzania Tanzania showed a solid performance at the home Africa Cup, played strongly defensively, and reached the round of 16, where they narrowly lost to Morocco 0-1. After a good tournament run, however, the team disappointed in the World Cup qualification, dropping important points against teams like Congo (1-1) and Niger (0-1), and thus has hardly any chances left for World Cup participation. Despite missing out on the World Cup, the hosts hope to achieve a good result once again in the last home game and to build confidence in front of their own fans.
Zambia Zambia continues to struggle in the qualification and was only able to secure wins against the weak Congo team. The last five matches included four defeats, including against direct rivals like Tanzania (0-1) and Niger (1-2). Although there is theoretically still a chance for second place, the performances and recent results leave little hope. The team will have difficulty asserting themselves against the motivated hosts.
Injuries No specific injury information is available.
Head-to-head meetings Recently, Tanzania and Zambia met in the qualification, with Tanzania winning the home match 1-0. The games between both teams have mostly been close and low-scoring.
Match Prediction Both teams have shown difficulties in chance conversion during the qualification and have favored more defensive approaches. Tanzania will be motivated as the host to make the last home match successful. The encounter will likely be tactically shaped with few goals, as Zambia scarcely provided offensive impulses and Tanzania mainly defends solidly. Therefore, a bet on under 2.5 goals with an attractive odds of 1.48 appears very reasonable.
My Tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.48)
Tip
Niger - Congo
When: 21:00 Where: Qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Niger Niger has shown great commitment in the ongoing qualification and has proven through solid performances against strong opponents like Algeria and South Africa that they are competitive. After a clear defeat against Morocco, they recently secured an important away victory against Tanzania and are within striking distance of second place in the standings, which would mean direct qualification for the World Cup. The team will be motivated to collect important points in the home match against Congo.
Congo Congo has had great difficulties in the ongoing qualification and only managed to collect their first points on the sixth attempt. Despite promising moments, the team has not achieved any wins so far and has suffered heavy defeats, including a 0-6 loss against Morocco. They fought to a draw against Tanzania, even taking the lead, but overall remain inferior to the favored teams.
Injuries No specific information on injuries is available for either team.
Head-to-Head Encounters between Niger and Congo are rare and so far without clear dominance. The teams usually match each other closely, with defensive stability and tactical discipline being the main focus.
Match Prediction Due to the important situation for Niger, who still have hopes of qualifying for the World Cup, a focused and tactically disciplined performance by the home team is expected. Congo will find it difficult to make offensive impacts as Niger stands firm defensively and can occasionally strike. The statistics and previous performances suggest a game with relatively few goals. Therefore, betting on Under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.48 is recommended, as a cautious approach and defensive security are to be expected.
