Uganda v Cape Verde Islands – Saturday 17 November – AFCON Qualifiers – BET HERE
It’s going well for the Cranes, who are top of Group L with three wins and a draw so far. They have only conceded twice in their last ten AFCON qualifiers and haven’t let in a goal in this campaign yet. The Cape Verde Islands have only won one of their four matches and will be out should they fail to win and Tanzania beat Lesotho. I’m going for a Home Win.
Match Tip: Both Teams to Score No
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: Uganda 1 v 0 Cape Verde Islands
Italy v Portugal – Saturday 17 November – Nations League – BET HERE
I don’t think that Italy are back to their best just yet. They’ve got one win in the Nations League so far and have drawn five of their last six home games. Portugal have won both of their Nations League matches to date and beat the Azzurri 1-0 in September. They’ve also won four of their past five away games. That said, I think this will be a Draw.
Match Tip: Both Teams to Score
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: Italy 1 v 1 Portugal
England v Croatia – Sunday 18 November – Nations League – BET HERE
A win for the Three Lions would mean that they avoid relegation from their Nations League group, and they come into this game in good form. Defeat to Spain in September was the first time England have failed to win a competitive home game since 2012, and they took revenge last month with a 3-2 win. Croatia know that defeat here would see them relegated from the group, although they can take heart from their win over England in the World Cup semi-finals. I still see a Home Win though.
Match Tip: Both Teams to Score
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: England 2 v 1 Croatia
Congo v DR Congo – Sunday 18 November – AFCON Qualifiers – BET HERE
Congo have only been to one of the last nine AFCON tournaments, and they’ll need a result after two losses in four qualifiers so far. On the other hand, the Leopards reached the quarter-finals in 2017 and can guarantee that they finish above their neighbours with a win. Both teams have scored in all four qualifiers for both sides, and I expect the same here. As for the result, I’m backing a Draw.
Match Tip: Both Teams to Score
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: Congo 1 v 1 DR Congo
Switzerland v Belgium – Sunday 18 November – Nations League – BET HERE
These teams have had the benefit of playing in a group with Iceland, whose poor performances mean that neither side can be relegated. Belgium can make sure of top spot in the group with a draw, and have tasted victory in their last two away games since the World Cup. They also won 2-1 against the Swiss in October thanks to a Romelu Lukaku double. I’m going for the same score here.
Match Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Mr. Predictor’s Verdict: Switzerland 1 v 2 Belgium
