FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF) -- USA vs Costa Rica

Their impending WC Qualifiers - N & C America tie sees United States facing opposition in the form of Costa Rica on Wednesday.

 

USA

Prior to the trip to Panama City, the USA had gleaned eight points from their opening four Qualifying fixtures. And they have won 14 of their last 15 home games across all tournaments - with the one exception being a 1-1 draw with Canada last month. On Sunday, USA were given a humbling 1-0 loss away from home against Panama.

 

 

 

 

Costa Rica's bid for a fifth World Cup Finals appearance in six editions got off to a morale-depleting start with only three points and one goal from their first four fixtures. There were only three goals scored in their last seven matches in all competitions and their last three games away from home have ended 0-0. In their previous game, Costa Rica beat El Salvador 2-1.

 

 

Two teams have already faced each other once this year, and just like in four of the last five head-to-head matches between them, the USA won the match. And given their recent states, expect the home team will go on their journey to win. 

FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) -- England vs Hungary

England are set to play against Hungary in Tuesday’s big WC Qualifiers - Europe meeting.

With 19 points gleaned from seven matches in Group G, England have cemented their position at the top of the rankings. England come into this game on the back of a 5-0 win over Koldo Alvarez's Andorra yesterday. They are on a remarkable streak of 12 successive World Cup Qualifying victories on home soil. England have scored 14 and conceded just one in four World Cup Qualifying battles.

 

 

 

 

Hungary 

After suffering their third defeat in four qualification matches, Hungary sit fourth in the rankings. Their victory over Andorra on September 9 represents their only win from their last eight in all tournaments. Hungary succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Albania last time out.

Though Hungary nearly qualified from their group, and earned global praise for their performances, England were simply a class above and should have too much for any opponent. They will be the favorites to win the game.

FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) -- Netherlands VS Gibraltar

Netherlands beat Latvia 1-0 in the recent game. Davy Klaassen scored the only goal of the game in the 19th minute and his fourth goal in the qualifying game, which helped the Netherlands win a difficult victory, making them to establish a lead in the championship. After forgetting the disappointment of the 2020 European Cup, Netherlands has now won three consecutive World Cup qualifiers.

 

 

 

Gibraltar's 2022 World Cup qualifier largely met the expectations of the 197th ranking in the world. Gibraltar was defeated by Montenegro in the last game. They have played 7 games without win and scored only 3 goals. Gibraltar also has a poor performance in defence for conceding a total of 20 goals.

 

 

The previous league match between the two sides was a qualifying match in March, which ended with Gibraltar's score of 0-7 to the Netherlands—— This is the first time the two sides have ever met - Louis van Gaal's team will strive for a greater victory in front of their fans.

UEFA Nations League -- France VS Spain

France reversed Belgium 3-2 at away in the semi-finals, and remained unbeaten in the last 15 games with 9 wins and 6 draws. The two main players Benzema and Mbappé were in excellent condition and scored goals in the last competition. But in the last seven games, only one game without concede, which shows that there are many loopholes in defense. Even weak teams Ukraine and Hungary can break their door.

 

 

 

 

In recent games, Spain's performance has been dazzling, especially in the 2-1 away victory over Italy. They have played a long lost spirit, making the new European champions almost have no strength to fight back at home. Spain has won all the last three games. Ferran Torres has played bravely in this competition and has scored 6 goals so far, which is expected to compete for the Golden Boot Award.

 

In the last 8 times against France, Spain only achieved 2W-1D-5L, resulting in psychological disadvantage. Both teams are first-class strong teams, and have quite eye-catching performance in the semi-finals. In this close competition, it depends largely on the individual ability of the stars and France is undoubtedly more advantageous than Spain, so it is still optimistic that France to be unbeaten.

FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) -- Andorra vs England

England travel to Andorra La Vella to face off against Andorra in a 2022 World Cup qualifier.

 

Andorra are second from bottom after a run of largely expected results. They lost 2-1 against Hungary on the road the last match-day. While Andorra have lost five of their six games thus far and boast a goal difference of -10, they did at least pick up a single win. That victory came over fellow minnows San Marino in September, with Andorra running out 2-0 winners. 

 

 

 

 

England have taken 16 points from a possible 18 to sit pretty at the top of the pile with an unbeaten record. In fact, they have a 100% winning record barring a single draw. They’ve also scored 18 goals and conceded just two. However, their last match saw them held to a draw by Poland thanks to a late equalizer that meant the game ended 1-1.

Despite England being likely to rest key players, this should still be a largely one-sided game due to the gulf in talent between the squads. Expect a goal-fest later on Saturday.

FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) -- Germany VS Romania

Germany

The current list of the German team can be called the world of Bayern Munich. The list of 23 people occupied 8 seats, including Neuer, Süle, Gnabry and others. It should be noted that Atlanta midfielder Gosens, who performed well in the European Cup, lost the list again, and Manchester City midfielder Gündoğan also failed to be selected. The rest of the lineup is basically the same as the last match day, and the overall strength is still very strong.

 

 

 

 

Romania

The players in Romania are not well-known, and basically come from the local league. The only thing to celebrate is that the striker Puskas who plays for reading and the striker Koeman of Bucharest will return to the list, and the adjustment of the front line is relatively large compared with the friendly games. However, Romania has dropped 8 places in the latest FIFA ranking, with a serious decline in strength.

 

After experiencing a short low tide, German has basically gradually solved the problem by changing the coach. Flick has played a good tactical look after taking office. The German team with home advantage is still trustworthy.

FIFA World Cup qualification -- Venezuela VS Brazil

Venezuela continues to rank at the bottom of the group. Although there is still a hope to qualify in theory, in fact, it is very slim in their current state. They have lost all three world preliminary games, and their offense performance is extremely weak. They have scored only seven goals in the last ten games.

 

 

 

Brazil ranks the top in group with an all win record. Many players of the team play in the five major leagues. The overall lineup strength is much larger than that of the opponent. In addition, they have performed well recently and have won the last two games, whose offense and defense are very balanced.

 

 

Due to the obvious strength gap between the two sides, and in nearly ten exchanges with Venezuela in history, Brazil has the upper hand, resulting in psychological advantages. Brazil has played a stable role recently. With the support of data, Brazil is worth looking to win this game.
