Thursday's International Friendlies predictions including Panama vs. Saudi Arabia

sportsmole.co.uk, 10 November 2022, 06:10
Panama vs. Saudi Arabia (Thursday, 12.00pm)

Panama take on Saudi Arabia in an international friendly match on Thursday.

The game will take place at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, with these two nations meeting each other for the first time in their history.

We say: Panama 0-1 Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's six warm-up friendlies within recent weeks have seen only four goals scored across all of them, so we are struggling to envisage a thriller being played out on Thursday.

Panama tend to keep things tight defensively, too, having kept four clean sheets in their last six competitive fixtures. As such, it feels likely to be a one-goal match, with the significance of the occasion likely to help Renard's side get themselves over the line.

Iran vs. Nicaragua (Thursday, 4.00pm)

Iran will host Nicaragua in an international friendly match at Azadi Stadium, Tehran, on Thursday.

This is Carlos Quieroz's side's last scheduled warm-up friendly ahead of facing England in their opening World Cup match on November 21.

We say: Iran 2-0 Nicaragua

Even without some of their key players - such as Porto's Mehdi Taremi - at their disposal, we expect Iran to have far too much ability and motivation for their opponents on Thursday.

Nicaragua are 122 places lower than Iran in FIFA's World Rankings, suggesting that they should be content with a narrow defeat in Tehran.
