Bahrain vs Saudi Arabia
Looking to catch up with Australia and snatch second place in Group C, Saudi Arabia are aiming to secure all three points against Bahrain before clashing with Australia on the final day, when qualification could be on the line.
Saudi Arabia must avoid falling any further behind the current three-point gap with Australia, as that would mean they are guaranteed to compete in the playoffs for a spot in the World Cup, while at least matching Australia’s result would mean automatic qualification would be up for grabs on the final day.
Bahrain are also battling to push into the top four and progress into the next group phase of qualifying, but with back-to-back defeats heading into this one, they are in far from ideal form.
In comparison, Saudi Arabia have lost just once in their last five matches, with four wins and one draw, and with automatic qualification potentially up for grabs, they are sure to be extremely driven to secure all three points.
With that in mind, believe the visitors are favourites to secure a vital victory over Bahrain and set up a thrilling clash with Australia.

Spain vs France
Spain solidified themselves as the best country in Europe as they won the European Championship last summer, and they will be aiming to solidify that status with a Nations League victory.
Spain are unbeaten in their last 18 matches heading into this one, while France have lost three of their last nine games, including a 2-1 victory for Spain in this fixture in the semi-finals of the Euros last summer.
The Spanish are the current holders of both the Nations League and European Championships, although France beat them to win the 2021 edition of the Nations League.
Given Spain’s recent brilliance and their sensational form coming into this clash, we believe they will secure the victory and move one step closer to Nations League glory once again.
Spain to win, 2.42 – Book Here
United Arab Emirates vs Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan are on the verge of securing qualification to their first-ever World Cup tournament, sitting second in Group A with 17 points, and avoiding defeat to United Arab Emirates in this one would confirm their place at the competition.
Uzbekistan are four points clear of UAE with two games left to play, meaning a draw or victory would be enough to secure a top-two finish, leaving both desperate to secure all of the points.
While UAE have impressed at times in the group, they are in poor form heading into this clash, having won only one of their last five, alongside two draws and two defeats. In comparison, Uzbekistan have lost only once in their last 13 matches, including a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture against UAE.
With their superior form heading into the clash, combined with their clear dominance in the reverse fixture as they took 24 shots to UAE’s 10, we believe the visitors will win this one and confirm their World Cup qualification.
Uzbekistan to win, 2.37 – Book Here

Qatar vs Iran
Qatar are fighting to ensure their place in the next group phase of qualifying, requiring three points in their final two matches to secure at least a fourth-placed finish, and that hunt for a win will start against already-qualified Iran.
Iran are guaranteed a place at the World Cup in either first or second place, meaning they have little left to play for heading into this one, but they are in superb form and will aim to maintain their current 12-game unbeaten run.
Qatar have won only one of their last six matches coming into the clash, but will be extremely motivated with potential qualification on the line, we expect them to put up a tough challenge for Iran.
However, with Iran’s superb quality and clear dominance over the group, this one could well end as a hard-fought draw.
