M1 South Africa vs Botswana: South Africa have suffered previous embarrassing defeats to neighbours Botswana in the Cosafa Cup. This is the opening day of the two-week event.
M2 Hassania Agadir vs Raja Casablanca: Raja play in the African Confederation Cup final on Saturday so will likely rest regulars for this game. Hassania upset Raja 1-0 away in their last meeting in April.
M3 Liverpool Montevideo vs Montevideo Wanderers: Liverpool’s home record against Montevideo city rivals Wanderers in the Uruguayan league is seven wins and seven losses plus six draws.
M4 Maghreb Fes vs Mouloudia Oujda: After drawing almost half their games in the Moroccan league this season, Maghreb Fes go in their final game of the season on the back of successive wins. One point will be enough to ensure Oudja finish fourth.
M5 Operario PR vs Londrina: Operario are looking to bounce back after 5-0 loss at Brazilian second division leaders Nautico at the weekend. Londrina have also lost their last two games and sit bottom of the table.
M6 Italy vs Spain: Spain are just 13-11 ahead of Italy in the win count of their previous clashes with a further 13 draws in 37 meetings. This is the first of the Euro 2020 semi-finals.
