sportsmole.co.uk, 27 September 2022, 05:05
South Korea vs. Cameroon (Tuesday, 12.00pm)

Asian giants South Korea entertain the challenge of African side Cameroon in an international friendly affair at the Sangam Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.

In the teams' final involvement before the World Cup, both will be keen to wrap up their preparations for November's global event on a high.

We say: South Korea 2-1 Cameroon

Playing in front of their fans for the final time before the World Cup takes centre-stage, South Korea will be aiming to put on a show for their supporters and we are backing them to narrowly come out on top at the end of the 90 minutes here.

Ecuador vs. Japan (Tuesday, 12.55pm)

On Tuesday, Ecuador and Japan will both conclude their preparations for the 2022 World Cup when the two nations meet in Dusseldorf for an international friendly.

The South Americans are currently unbeaten in their last five games, while Japan are also in fine form after avoiding defeat in their previous four matches.

We say: Ecuador 1-1 Japan

Ecuador have drawn three of their last five games, and with both sides looking to extend their respective unbeaten runs ahead of the World Cup, we think the two nations will be content with a draw.

Iran vs. Senegal (Tuesday, 3.30pm)

Iran and Senegal continue their preparations for the upcoming World Cup when they go head to head in a warm-up friendly at the BSFZ-Arena on Tuesday.

Team Melli have been drawn into Group B of the World Cup, alongside England, USA and Wales, while the African champions will face Ecuador, Netherlands and host nation Qatar in Group A.

We say: Iran 1-2 Senegal

With the World Cup just around the corner, Senegal and Iran will be looking to get one over the other and continue their fine run of results. While both sides head into Tuesday in similar form, we are backing the Lions of Teranga to grind out a slender victory.

UAE vs. Venezuela (Tuesday, 4.00pm)

United Arab Emirates face Venezuela in a friendly at Stadion Wiener Neustadt in Austria on Monday.

The two nations are only separated by 13 places in the FIFA World Rankings, so it should be a competitive affair.

We say: United Arab Emirates 0-1 Venezuela

We expect a closely fought affair in Austria, with fine margins likely to decide it.

Each of Venezuela's last four matches have ended 1-0 to either team, and we can envisage Pekerman's side winning by this scoreline on Monday.

Canada vs. Uruguay (Tuesday, 5.00pm)

Fresh off a comfortable 2-0 victory over Qatar, Canada face Uruguay in a friendly on Tuesday at Tehelne pole in Slovakia.

La Celeste had a seven-match unbeaten run in all competitions end last Friday, losing 1-0 to Iran, while the Canucks have triumphed in two of their previous three international encounters.

We say: Canada 0-1 Uruguay

Les Rouges have faced some stingy defensive units in the past, but none with the kind of poise and commitment of Uruguay, who are challenging to break down and vastly experienced.

We anticipate this will be a close game, while the Uruguayans' desire to slow down the pace of this game may frustrate a youthful Canadian side who enjoy playing counter-attacking football.

Bahrain vs. Panama (Tuesday, 5.00pm)

Bahrain will entertain the challenge of Panama on Tuesday evening in an international friendly matchup at the Bahrain National Stadium.

With neither team featuring at November's World Cup in Qatar, the clash in Riffa could very well be their last involvement of the current calendar year.

We say: Bahrain 1-1 Panama

With only little to play for in this one, we predict an open and end-to-end affair with goals at both ends and a share of the spoils come the sound of the final whistle.

Chile vs. Qatar (Tuesday, 6.00pm)

On Tuesday, Qatar will face Chile in an international friendly in what will be the World Cup hosts' final game before the tournament begins in November.

While Chile failed to qualify for the World Cup, they will be looking to end a six-game winless run when the two nations go head-to-head in Vienna.

We say: Chile 1-1 Qatar

Although Chile are ranked 13 places higher than their opponents, they head into Tuesday's friendly bereft of confidence, and we think they will be held to a draw by Qatar.

Saudi Arabia vs. USA (Tuesday, 7.00pm)

Two sides coming off disappointing results this past weekend face off in a friendly at Estadio Nueva Condomina in Spain as Saudi Arabia battle the USA on Tuesday for the first time since 1999.

The Green were held 0-0 by Ecuador on Friday, while the US lost for the first time in five matches, dropping a 2-0 decision to Japan.

We say: Saudi Arabia 0-1 USA

The US have not lost consecutive fixtures since 2019, and we do not expect them to be troubled by a Saudi Arabian side whose talent on paper does not appear to match up well against the Americans.

Costa Rica vs. Uzbekistan (Tuesday, 7.00pm)

With their attention firmly on the 2022 World Cup, Costa Rica will aim to extend their unbeaten run to four matches when they face Uzbekistan in an international friendly.

While the visitors do not have a World Cup to look forward to, they will look to claim a seventh consecutive victory in Tuesday's game, which will take place in South Korea.

We say: Costa Rica 1-1 Uzbekistan

Although Costa Rica are ranked 43 places higher than their opponents, Uzbekistan demonstrated against Cameroon that they are a team in superb form, and we think they will manage to hold World Cup bound Costa Rica to a draw.

Nicaragua vs. Ghana (Tuesday, 7.00pm)

The Estadio Francisco Artes Carrasco plays host to Nicaragua and Ghana on Tuesday as they go head to head in an international friendly.

Off the back of respective defeats in their last outings, both teams set out to secure a return to winning ways as soon as possible.

We say: Nicaragua 1-2 Ghana

Ghana were largely underwhelming against Brazil but they will be expected to fare better against less illustrious opponents. We are tipping the West Africans to just about get the job done here in what should be a close contest.

Egypt vs. Liberia (Tuesday, 7.00pm)

In the second of their two friendly fixtures scheduled for September, Egypt square off against Liberia at the Borg El Arab Stadium on Tuesday.

The Lone Stars failed to secure their place in the 2022 Africa Nations Championship back in July and will be looking to pick up a morale-boosting result ahead of their AFCON qualifying fixtures.

We say: Egypt 3-0 Liberia

Buoyed by their comfortable victory over Niger, Egypt will head into Tuesday full of confidence as they look to wrap up their September friendlies in style. Given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides and considering the Pharaoh's superb home form, we are backing Vitoria's men to ease to another victory.

Ivory Coast vs. Guinea (Tuesday, 7.00pm)

Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso go head to head at the Stade Credit Agricole la Licorne in an international friendly match on Tuesday evening.

Off the back of contrasting results in their respective most recent encounters, the teams come into this one in different moods but a cracking contest is expected nonetheless.

We say: Ivory Coast 2-0 Guinea

Judging by their record in this fixture, Ivory Coast are huge favourites to get the job done as they also boast the vastly superior crop of players. We are tipping them to carry the day at the end of the 90 minutes here.

Brazil vs. Tunisia (Tuesday, 7.30pm)

Brazil take on Tunisia in an international friendly at Parc des Princes on Tuesday.

Both nations have qualified for the winter World Cup in Qatar, with this match representing their final match to prepare for the tournament.

We say: Brazil 2-0 Tunisia

Given Tunisia's formidable run of seven successive clean sheets, Brazil may have to work much harder to break the deadlock in Paris.

However, their array of attacking talent surely means it will only be a matter of time before they do so, perhaps with a decisive second coming later in the match once Tunisia gradually break out of their shape in search of an equaliser.

Paraguay vs. Morocco (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Morocco continue their preparations for the upcoming World Cup as they visit the Benito Villamarin Stadium on Tuesday to face Paraguay in the second of their two friendly games against South American nations.

The 1976 Africa Cup of Nations champions head into the midweek matchup fresh off the back of a comfortable victory over Chile and will be eyeing a fifth consecutive win across all competitions.

We say: Paraguay 1-3 Morocco

Morocco have put together a fine run of form and will be looking to take this impressive run into the World Cup. They boast a star-studded squad and, while Paraguay are no walkovers, we predict the Atlas Lions will come out victorious in this one.

Algeria vs. Nigeria (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Seeking to pick up a sixth consecutive win across all competitions, Algeria lock horns with Nigeria in a thrilling friendly at the Miloud Hadefi Olympic Complex on Tuesday.

The Super Eagles, on the other hand, will head into the midweek clash desperate to get one over their North African counterparts, having lost each of the last three meetings between the sides since 2016.

We say: Algeria 1-1 Nigeria

Looking at previous encounters between Algeria and Nigeria, we expect another heated contest with both sides taking the game to each other. Both sides have called up a strong squad comprising several talents scattered across all departments of the pitch and we predict they will cancel out each other's efforts.
