Cameroon must win at home over the Ivory Coast in the heavyweight qualifying clash of the night if they are to progress in their bid to get to an African-record eighth World Cup finals. More details at www.soccer6.co.za

M1 Algeria vs Burkina Faso: Decisive match in Blida where hosts Algeria need to avoid defeat to advance to the next stage of the World Cup qualifiers. Burkina Faso let the ball slip in a 1-1 draw against Niger on Friday.

M2 Liberia vs Central African Republic: Both sides out of World Cup contention and clash in Tanger where Liberia lost to Nigeria on Saturday. CAR have four points in African Group C while Liberia have three.

M3 Nigeria vs Cape Verde Islands: Nigeria need only draw at home to advance in World cup qualification but will be mindful that they suffered a shock loss at home last month when they hosted the Central African Republic. If Cape Verde win, they progress.

M4 Cameroon vs Ivory Coast: Heavyweight clash to decide top place in African World Cup qualifying Group D where the Ivorians must avoid defeat away in Yaounde to edge out the Indomitable Lions.

M5 Morocco vs Guinea: Morocco are looking to complete the group with a 10 percent record, having secured top place. Guinea have drawn four of their five group qualifiers in this World Cup campaign.

M6 Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Ukraine: Bosnia’s 3-1 home loss to Finland on Saturday ended their World Cup but Ukraine must win this one to stand any chance of progress to the playoffs.

M7 Montenegro vs Turkey: Turkey can still top Group G but must win in Podgorica where Montenegro came from 0-2 down to hold the Netherlands to a draw on Saturday.

M8 Netherlands vs Norway: Winner-takes-all tie in an empty De Kuip stadium after the Dutch government said it was banning spectators at sports events for the next three weeks to fight a new surge in COVID-19 cases.

M9 Wales vs Belgium: Wales need only a point to finish second in Europe World Cup qualifying Group E while Belgium have already won and qualified for next year’s finals in Qatar.

M10 Bolivia vs Uruguay: Bolivia have won two of their last three World Cup qualifiers but sit second from bottom. Uruguay have suffered three successive losses and conceded eight goals in the process.

Suggested permutation:

R32.00 1 x 1,2 x 1 x 1,2 x 1 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 2,3 x 1,2
