The FIFA international break continues this weekend with the stage set for some mouth-watering fixtures that will keep all football enthusiasts on the edge of their seats.
Friday 22 March
Nigeria 21/20 | Draw 7/4 | Ghana 28/10
The Africa Cup of Nations runners-up will be looking to redeem themselves today when they face Ghana in what seems to be a cracker encounter.
The Super Eagles, who recently parted ways with Jose Peseiro, will be led by interim coach Finidi George.
The recent technical team changes make it a bit difficult to back the Super Eagles to get the result they would love as they have to adjust to George’s new tactics.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars who had an underwhelming Afcon in Ivory Coast will surely want to bounce back to winning ways and show their fans that they are still amongst the best teams in the continent.
Ghana are also ushering into a new era with the new man in the hot seat, Otto Addo, who in 2022 was the caretaker for the Black Stars. Addo returns to lead the Black Stars as the replacement for Chris Hughton. Back both teams to score or a draw is a safe bet in this fixture.
Spain 15/20 | Draw 9/4 | Colombia 34/10
Spain will take on South American side Colombia at the London Stadium in England.
This will be the sixth meeting of these sides with coach Luis de la Fuente men winning one and drawing four against the Coffee Growers.
The Red Fury has been on a good winning streak winning all their last eight outings, while Colombia has managed to win five and draw three of their last eight games. This will be a clash to look forward to, but tip Spain win or draw.
Saturday 23 March
England 9/10 | Draw 24/10 | Brazil 26/10
On Saturday, the world will be at a standstill as England hosts five-time FIFA World Cup champions Brazil at Wembley Stadium.
This mouth-watering encounter will be a chance for Gareth Southgate to capitalise on the great talent that the Three Lions boast and register a victory for the first time at Wembley since the Euro 2020 final defeat.
The Samba Boys have been inconsistent in their last five fixtures of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers with one win, one draw, and three defeats which is their worst streak of form in the last 22 years under coach Fernando Diniz who took over from Tite.
With the new manager in Dorival Júnior expect the visitors to turn things around here. In their last two meetings, these sides ended with a draw, back both teams to score, and a double chance for either side to win at 18/10.
France 8/10 | Draw 24/10 | Germany 29/10
Another exciting clash on Saturday will see the 2018 FIFA World Cup champions welcoming the 2014 champions Germany at the Groupama Stadium.
Just seven months ago, coach Didier Deschamps’s men suffered a 2-1 defeat to Die Mannschaft.
This titanic fixture is very important for both teams as it’s their first game of the year as they are preparing for the Euro 2024 competition.
Germany is coming into this game on the back foot with two losses in a row against Austria and Turkey. As for France in their last two matches, they found the back of the net 16 times, 14 against Gibraltar, and two against Greece in a game that ended with a draw. Tip the Blues to win.
