M1 South Africa vs Benin: Bafana’s only previous match against Benin came at the 2004 Cup of Nations finals in Tunisia, where Siyabonga Nomvethe scored both goals in a comfortable win.

M2 Crusaders vs Linfield: Northern Ireland Premiership clash. Crusaders have won two and Linfield one with two draws in the last five meetings between these two Belfast-based clubs.

M3 Dungannon Swifts vs Newry City: Newry City are second from bottom in the Northern Ireland Premiership standings, one point above Swifts who they have not beaten in their previous four clashes.

M4 Niger vs Tanzania: Niger are hosting this game in Morocco, which hands Tanzania a good chance of starting their World Cup qualifying campaign on a positive note. Tanzania beat Niger 1-0 at home in June.

M5 Latvia vs Croatia: Latvia’s previous five clashes with Croatia have all ended in defeat with one goal scored and 15 conceded.

M6 Belarus vs Andorra: Belarus still cannot play any home matches because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and host this qualifier in Budapest. Andorra held Belarus to a goalless draw when they hosted them in September.

M7 Senegal vs South Sudan: Senegal have qualified for the last two World Cups, losing only one of their last 16 qualifying games. South Sudan have won two of their last 10 matches.

M8 Netherlands vs Rep. of Ireland: If the Dutch win, they will qualify for the EURO 2024 finals. They were 2-1 away winners in Dublin in September.

M9 France vs Gibraltar: France should extend their winning run in the qualifiers and enjoy a goal feast when they host this game in Nice. Gibraltar have lost their last eight games in a row.

M10 Switzerland vs Kosovo: Switzerland’s two previous meetings with Kosovo were both drawn. Several of the players in the Swiss side are of Kosovan heritage.
