As the international break nears its conclusion, football fans still have plenty to look forward to before club action resumes. A host of fixtures are set to take place today across the globe, offering a mix of World Cup qualifiers and international friendlies, providing plenty of entertainment.
Japan vs Brazil
Vinicius Junior heads into Brazil’s friendly fixture against Japan in stunning form for club and country, boasting six goals and five assists in 11 matches for club and country so far this season, including a goal in Brazil’s 5-0 win over South Korea last week.
With Japan in underwhelming form coming into this meeting, including conceding four goals in their last two matches, Brazil are expected to create a plethora of chances in this encounter, and with Vinicius’ superb form, we expect the forward to get on the scoresheet here.

Latvia vs England
Harry Kane was rested for England’s friendly fixture against Wales, and with striker Ollie Watkins having pulled out of the squad due to injury, it looks almost certain that England’s all-time top scorer will start against Latvia.
The striker is enjoying a sensational season for Bayern Munich, scoring 18 goals in 10 appearances across all club competitions, while he also has 13 goals in his last seven matches for club and country.
Given England are undoubtedly the stronger team heading into this clash with Latvia, who were defeated 3-0 in the reverse fixture, we believe Kane will get a number of chances, and with his unbelievable scoring streak, we expect the forward to get his goal.

Spain vs Bulgaria
Spain and Bulgaria head into this World Cup qualifier at opposite ends of the UEFA Group E table, with the hosts comfortably top of the standings while Bulgaria are rock bottom of the table.
Spain have won all three fixtures with a +11 goal difference, while Bulgaria have lost all of their three matches with a -11 goal difference, leading us to expect a significant victory for the hosts with several goals scored.

Nigeria vs Benin
Nigeria head into this final World Cup qualifying clash in CAF Group C requiring a victory by at least two goals, as well as South Africa to drop points in their final game, to ensure they move above South Africa and Benin and secure a first-placed finish in order to book their place at the 2026 World Cup.
While they were held to a 1-1 draw with Benin in their most recent meeting, Nigeria head into this clash in significantly stronger form, with three wins and one draw in their last four matches, though Benin have also hit form with three straight wins following a dismal streak of seven games without a victory.
Regardless of Benin’s return to form, Nigeria are unbeaten at home in their last four matches, and with their home fans expected to create an electric atmosphere to help push their side to secure a crucial win for World Cup qualification, we expect the Super Eagles to come out on top in this one.
