Cameroon vs Comoros - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Africa - Africa Cup of Nations

Cameroon host Comoros on Thursday, September 24, 2026, at 8:00 PM local time, as the Indomitable Lions open their Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifying campaign in Group G. It is the first competitive meeting between the two sides since Cameroon edged Comoros 2-1 in the Round of 16 at AFCON 2021, and David Pagou's men — who steadied the ship impressively after taking over just weeks before the 2025 finals in Morocco — will be eager to build on a tournament in which they reached the quarter-finals before falling to the hosts. The Lions qualified for the knockouts by beating Gabon and Mozambique and drawing with Côte d'Ivoire, and their comeback 1:2 win over Mozambique in Agadir, sealed by teenage striker Christian Kofane, underlined the resilience they will bring into this new 2026/2027 season cycle.

Cameroon's recent knockout pedigree was further confirmed at the start of 2026 when they eliminated South Africa in Rabat, surviving a late Bafana Bafana fightback to claim a 1:2 away victory in the Round of 16, with goals from Junior Tchamadeu and Christian Kofane. Only a Brahim Díaz-inspired Morocco — who went on to lift the trophy — stopped their run, winning 2:0 in the quarter-finals. For the 2026/2027 season, Pagou can call on a deep squad featuring Devis Epassy in goal, Samuel Kotto, Nouhou Tolo and Tchamadeu in defence, Carlos Baleba and Arthur Avom in midfield, and an attacking unit led by Bryan Mbeumo, supported by Danny Namaso, Georges-Kévin Nkoudou, Etta Eyong and the rapidly rising Kofane.

D.R. Congo vs Equatorial Guinea - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Africa - Africa Cup of Nations

The 2026/27 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign gets underway for D.R. Congo on Thursday, 24 September 2026, when the Leopards host Equatorial Guinea at the Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa, with kick-off scheduled for 17:00 local time (16:00 GMT). This TotalEnergies AFCON 2027 (Pamoja) first-round Group I clash pits two nations at very different moments in their trajectories: Sébastien Desabre's side arrives fresh from a historic FIFA World Cup 2026 run that saw them reach the knockout phase for the first time ever, while the Nzalang Nacional are still rebuilding after a winless AFCON 2025 in Morocco. CAF has appointed Nigerian referee Joseph Odey Ogabor to take charge of the encounter, and although doubts persisted about a possible behind-closed-doors order, Desabre is publicly counting on a packed, volcanic Stade des Martyrs to propel his team toward a winning start.

D.R. Congo's confidence is built on a memorable summer on the global stage. The Leopards battled through a demanding World Cup group and then pushed England all the way in the Round of 32 in Atlanta, where Brian Cipenga's seventh-minute opener briefly had the Three Lions on the ropes before Harry Kane's late double settled the tie at 1:2. Desabre has since renewed his squad for the 2026/27 season, calling up 13 new faces alongside established pillars such as captain Chancel Mbemba, goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi, Axel Tuanzebe, Arthur Masuaku and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in defence, with Yoane Wissa — scorer of three of Congo's four World Cup goals — leading an attack that also features Simon Banza, Meschak Elia, Nathanaël Mbuku and the emerging Cipenga. That blend of World Cup-tested steel and fresh hunger makes Kinshasa a daunting venue for any visitor.

Ivory Coast vs Ghana - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Africa - Africa Cup of Nations

Ivory Coast against Ghana is one of the standout Africa Cup of Nations fixtures of the 2026/2027 season, with both nations refreshing their squads after a busy summer and the Elephants looking leaner, quicker and more direct in wide areas. European odds point to a narrow home edge rather than a rout, and our prediction is a tight 1:0 win for Ivory Coast, built on defensive discipline, second-ball pressure and one clinical transition. For recent home context, see the 1:0 angle from the Norway build-up and the 1:0 reference from the Curaçao tie.

Ghana remain dangerous because their 2026/2027 squad mixes proven Championship and top-five-league experience with younger runners who can stretch a back line, but consistency in the final third is still the big question away from home. The Black Stars will likely try to slow the tempo, protect the half-spaces and attack after turnovers, yet the European odds still shade the match toward Ivory Coast when the game state becomes stretched. Their road form is captured in the 1:0 check from Colombia and the 1:0 note from the Croatia preview.

Libya vs Botswana - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Africa - Africa Cup of Nations

Libya host Botswana at the 11 June Stadium on Thursday, September 24, 2026, in the opening-round Africa Cup of Nations qualifying tie in Group H, with both teams looking to set the tone early in a competitive 2026/2027 campaign. Libya are expected to control territory and tempo at home, while Botswana arrive after a difficult AFCON 2025 in Morocco and must quickly rediscover defensive resilience after recent defeats.

Botswana’s form guide is underlined by those recent losses: 0-3 against DR Congo, 1-0 against Benin, and 3-0 against Senegal. Those results leave the Zebras needing a cleaner shape in midfield and far better protection in transition, because conceding first would play directly into Libya’s patient home approach.

Mauritania vs Central Africa - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Africa - Africa Cup of Nations

Mauritania begin their 2026/2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign on Thursday, 24 September 2026, as the nominal home side against Central African Republic in Group F, with kick-off listed for 16:00 GMT at Stade Larbi Zaouli in Casablanca. Amir Abdou’s Mourabitounes are under pressure to turn home advantage into an early statement before visiting Benin five days later, while Eloge Enza Yamissi’s Central African Republic arrive as underdogs yet with fresh memories of beating Mauritania 2-1 in a June 2025 friendly in the same city. The group also contains Burkina Faso and Benin, so opening points could be decisive in the race for a top-two finish and a place at AFCON 2027 in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

Form and context point to a tight, low-margin contest rather than a shoot-out. Mauritania’s latest reference point is the 0-1 friendly win over Niger, settled by Idrissa Thiam deep in stoppage time, a result that showed resilience but also how fine the margins are for this attack. Central African Republic’s most recent outing was the 3-0 friendly defeat by Angola, where Depú, Mabululu and Ary Papel punished defensive hesitation; before that, Les Fauves drew 1-1 with Togo and lost heavily to Ghana in World Cup qualifying. The H2H warning is clear: Central African Republic have already proved they can hurt Mauritania on Moroccan soil, even if the current squad profile and market sentiment lean toward the Mourabitounes.

Namibia vs Congo - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Africa - Africa Cup of Nations

Namibia host Congo on Thursday, 24 September 2026, in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations Qualification (Group G) fixture at the Botswana National Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 local time. The Brave Warriors are using Botswana as a neutral base for this 2027 AFCON qualifying campaign, and head coach Collin Benjamin has already named his final squad for the double-header against Congo and Comoros, with five players plying their trade in the Botswana Premier League included in the travelling party.

These two sides know each other well from previous qualifying campaigns: Congo eased to a 3:0 win when the teams met in Brazzaville back in June 2014, while the most recent encounter, a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier in September 2021, ended in a 1:1 draw — one of two stalemates in their four meetings, which are otherwise split evenly with one win apiece. On the European 1X2 market, the bookmakers make Namibia a narrow favourite at around 2.24, the draw is priced near 3.00, and Congo can be backed at roughly 3.49, reflecting just how tight this group opener is expected to be.

Sierra Leone vs Zimbabwe - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Africa - Africa Cup of Nations

Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe open their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaigns on Thursday, 24 September 2026, in a Group E clash staged in Morocco. The Leone Stars come into this fixture after a mixed run of results, including a narrow defeat to Liberia and a dramatic penalty-shootout loss to Azerbaijan earlier this year, while Zimbabwe's Warriors arrive under new head coach Ramón Catalá, who has already warned his players to expect a tough, physical encounter. The Warriors' most recent outings underline how competitive this tie could be: they fell to Nigeria in May, a 2 - 0 defeat on the road, edged India 1-0 in a friendly, and beat Zambia 1-0 in March, results that suggest a well-organized but occasionally blunt attacking unit.

For Zimbabwe, the pain of the 2025 AFCON group stage still lingers, as they were eliminated after a heartbreaking 3 - 2 loss to South Africa in their final group game, preceded by a hard-fought 1 - 1 draw with Angola. That experience of competitive tournament football may prove decisive, although Sierra Leone will feel confident at home conditions in Morocco, having beaten Ethiopia 2-0 and Djibouti 2-1 during the World Cup qualifying campaign. Both nations know that a positive start is vital in a group that also contains DR Congo and Equatorial Guinea, and neither side can afford a slip on matchday one.

Tunisia vs Uganda - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Africa - Africa Cup of Nations

Tunisia host Uganda on Thursday 24 September 2026 at Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying Group H match, with the Carthage Eagles aiming to reset after a winless World Cup group stage that included 1-3 and 0-4 defeats plus a heavy loss to Sweden. Tunisia’s 2026/2027 squad core is expected to feature Aymen Dahmen or Mouhib Chamakh in goal, Dylan Bronn, Montassar Talbi, Omar Rekik, Ali Abdi and Yan Valery in defence, Ellyes Skhiri, Hannibal Mejbri and Anis Ben Slimane in midfield, and Elias Achouri, Elias Saad, Sebastian Tounekti and Firas Chaouat competing for attacking minutes.

Uganda arrive with a resilient but less settled 2026/2027 group built around Denis Onyango, Aziz Kayondo, Jordan Obita, Toby Sibbick, Kenneth Ssemakula, Baba Alhassan, Bobosi Byaruhanga, Travis Mutyaba, Allan Okello, Rogers Mato, Denis Omedi and Uche Ikpeazu, knowing their AFCON campaign earlier ended with a 1-3 loss to Nigeria after a 1-1 draw with Tanzania. The Cranes’ route to a result is clear: stay compact, protect the central lanes, and turn set pieces or counters into one high-value chance rather than chasing possession against a technically stronger Tunisian midfield.

America De Cali vs Aguilas - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Colombia - Primera A

América de Cali host Águilas Doradas on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at the Estadio Olímpico Pascual Guerrero in Cali, in a Round 12 clash of the Liga BetPlay Dimayor Finalización 2026 that pits the league leaders against a mid-table side chasing a place in the next phase. América come into this fixture top of the standings with 20 points from nine matches and an outstanding 20:5 goal difference, while Águilas Doradas sit tenth with 11 points and a 12:12 record. Historically this has been a favourable matchup for the "Diablos Rojos," who have won 11 of the last 22 meetings between the clubs, with Águilas taking just six and five ending level, and the last league encounter in March 2026 also finished in América's favour, 1-0 at the Estadio Cincuentenario.

América's recent form underlines why they are the team to beat this season: despite being held to a 1 - 1 draw away to Deportes Tolima last weekend, they remain unbeaten in their last five away matches and earlier demolished Deportivo Pereira 4 - 1, one of several emphatic home wins at the Pascual Guerrero this campaign. Águilas Doradas, coached with their trademark compact 4-2-3-1, arrive in Cali after a string of tight results, including a 1 - 1 draw at home to Llaneros and a 2-2 stalemate with Internacional de Bogotá, and they will lean heavily on forward Jorge Rivaldo, their top scorer, to trouble a defence that has kept the most clean sheets in the division.

Atletico FC vs Cuenca Juniors - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Ecuador - Serie B

Atlético FC host Cuenca Juniors on 24 September 2026 in Round 5 of the LigaPro Serie B Promotion Group, in one of the most evenly matched fixtures of this year's promotion race. Atlético FC, the ambitious Guayaquil-based project backed by Atlético de Madrid, have been one of the stories of the 2026 season, pushing for a place in the top-flight playoff spots, while Cuenca Juniors arrive sitting just behind them in the standings after a solid campaign. The most recent meeting between the sides, on 24 July 2026, ended in a goalless draw, and with Atlético FC coming off a narrow 1-0 win over LDU Portoviejo and Cuenca Juniors beating San Antonio 1-0 in their last outing, another tight, low-scoring contest is expected at the Estadio Christian Benítez Betancourt.

The home side will rely heavily on the experience of veteran striker Fidel Martínez, the headline name of Atlético FC's 2026/2027 squad, supported by forwards such as Jacson Pita, Darlin Leiton, Diney Ramírez, Job Belizaire and Denilson Ovando, a midfield marshalled by Dennys Quiñónez, Wilmer Godoy, Joseph Espinoza and Santiago Zamora, and a defence featuring Gorman Estacio, Ramiro Ríos, Chris Briones and Jhonier Estrada, with Leandro Medranda or Jhon Mero in goal under coach Carlos Santamarina. Atlético FC's recent form underlines their defensive solidity: since edging past 22 de Julio by 0-1 in June, they have kept clean sheets in draws with Independiente Juniors and Cuenca Juniors, and followed up with a 3-0 win over El Nacional and a 4-1 victory against San Antonio before the 1-0 defeat of LDU Portoviejo.

Andorra vs Malta - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Europe - UEFA Nations League

Andorra host Malta on Thursday, 24 September 2026, at the Estadi de la FAF in Encamp, as the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League gets under way with a League D Group D1 opener that also features Gibraltar. The two sides know each other well: their recent head-to-head record reads two Maltese wins and two draws, so Andorra are still chasing their first victory in this fixture. The hosts come into the campaign in reasonable spirits after edging Liechtenstein 2 : 1 in a June friendly, while Malta's most recent competitive outings ended in a narrow defeat in Luxembourg 1 : 0 and a hard-fought home success over the same opponents 2 : 1 last March.

Andorra's squad for the 2026/27 season remains built around a compact, experienced core, with long-serving figures such as Marc Rebés, Christian Garcia and Francisco Pires expected to anchor the spine of the team. Manager Koldo Álvarez has retained the disciplined 5-4-1 shape that has made La Tricolor difficult to break down at home in the Nations League, relying on a low defensive block, aggressive pressing in wide areas and quick counters through the wing-backs. With no major injury concerns reported in the build-up, Andorra are expected to field their strongest available XI as they look to set the tone at home before trips to Malta and Gibraltar later in the campaign.

Austria vs Israel - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Europe - UEFA Nations League

Austria kick off their 2026/27 UEFA Nations League campaign on Thursday, September 24, 2026, when they host Israel at the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz (20:45 CET) in Group B3, which also features the Republic of Ireland and Kosovo. Ralf Rangnick's side arrive with valuable big-match experience from the 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer, where they advanced from a tough Group J before their run ended against the eventual champions, Spain, in a 3-0 round-of-32 defeat at SoFi Stadium. Before that, Austria showed real resilience in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Algeria that sealed their knockout place on goal difference, and they pushed defending champions Argentina hard in a narrow 2-0 group-stage loss in which only a record-breaking Lionel Messi brace separated the sides.

Israel, meanwhile, come into this fixture after a busy summer of their own, having earned a hard-fought 1-0 friendly win away to Albania on June 3 — a result that underlined their ability to grind out results on the road, even if they will be clear underdogs in Linz. Austria's 2026/27 Nations League squad sees Rangnick blend his trusted World Cup core with fresh faces: goalkeepers Lukas Jungwirth, Alexander Schlager, Florian Wiegele and Christian Zawieschitzky are joined in camp by defenders David Affengruber and Felix Bacher, while captain David Alaba, Marko Arnautović and Marcel Sabitzer remain the experienced spine of the team. Israel's traveling squad will rely on their compact defensive shape and quick transitions, but they have historically struggled against top-tier European pressing sides like Rangnick's gegenpressing machine.

Kosovo vs Ireland - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Europe - UEFA Nations League

Kosovo host the Republic of Ireland in the opening round of the 2026/2027 UEFA Nations League on Thursday, 24 September 2026, at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina, with kick-off set for 19:45 UK time (20:45 local). This is the first ever competitive meeting between the two nations, and it arrives at a poignant moment for the hosts, who fell just short of reaching their first ever FIFA World Cup after a heroic March campaign. Franco Foda's men edged a seven-goal thriller away to Slovakia in the play-off semi-finals before their dream was ended by Türkiye, who won 0-1 in Pristina to reach the tournament for the first time since 2002. Ireland's own play-off story ended in heartbreak too, a 2-2 draw with Czechia followed by a 4-3 penalty shoot-out defeat, so both sides enter this new campaign carrying the scars of March but determined to build fresh momentum in League competition.

The visitors will be wary of Kosovo's attacking firepower, having watched the Balkan side twice come from behind to stun Slovakia 3-4 in Bratislava in one of the most dramatic play-off ties in recent memory, a result that showcased the counter-attacking threat of Vedat Muriqi, Fisnik Asllani and Florent Muslija. Ireland, meanwhile, showed encouraging signs under Heimir Hallgrímsson during the summer friendly series against Grenada, Qatar and Canada, and they will aim to be far more compact than the Slovakian side that was carved open in March. Kosovo's strong home record — seven wins and two draws from their last ten matches on their own patch before the Türkiye setback — suggests Ireland face a tough assignment on the road, with Hallgrímsson's men having won just one of their previous five away fixtures.

Liechtenstein vs Lithuania - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Europe - UEFA Nations League

Liechtenstein host Lithuania at the Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz on Thursday, 24 September 2026, in the opening match of Group D2 in the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League — a clash between two of Europe's lowest-ranked sides that kicks off the new league phase across the continent. Lithuania arrive as the clear favourites and will be expected to dominate possession, but their recent history shows how difficult it is to break down a compact Liechtenstein block, especially in front of a passionate home crowd in Vaduz.

Liechtenstein's build-up to the new campaign has been far from ideal, as they fell to a 2:0 defeat away to Andorra in their most recent friendly in June 2026, a result that highlighted their ongoing struggles in the final third. The head-to-head record between these two nations is remarkably tight: across four previous meetings, Lithuania have won twice, Liechtenstein once, and there has been one draw, with very few goals scored in each encounter — a strong indicator that this fixture rarely turns into an open, end-to-end contest.

Netherlands vs Germany - Thursday, 24 September 2026

league: Europe - UEFA Nations League

Netherlands vs Germany headlines Matchday 1 of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League as Group A2 kicks off on Thursday, 24 September 2026, at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam (20:45 CET). The clash brings together two of Europe's heavyweights fresh from their World Cup campaigns, and it also marks the competitive debut of Jürgen Klopp as Germany head coach. The Oranje will be out for revenge after the most recent meeting between these rivals ended 2-2 in Gelsenkirchen, where the Dutch fought back from two goals down in the dying minutes. With Serbia and Greece completing the group, neither side can afford a slow start in this congested league phase that packs four fixtures into a single extended international window.

The Netherlands squad for the 2026/27 season has been named by Ronald Koeman with some notable talking points: Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst have been left out, while Joey Veerman, Kenneth Taylor and Jeremie Frimpong return to the fold. Injury concerns remain, however, as Micky van de Ven and Frenkie de Jong are unavailable for selection. Germany's revolution under Klopp is even more radical — the former Liverpool boss unveiled an expanded 44-man pool split into two blocks for this Nations League campaign, with Marc-André ter Stegen installed as the new number-one goalkeeper, Joshua Kimmich restored to central midfield as captain, and veterans Leroy Sané and Leon Goretzka shockingly omitted. Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry and Nico Schlotterbeck remain in camp for the full two weeks as Klopp carefully manages them back from injury.
