The international break is now in full swing, with players across the globe shifting their focus from club duties to crucial qualification action for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. Over the next two weeks, fans can expect a packed schedule filled with high-stakes encounters as nations battle to earn their place on football’s biggest stage.
Today, we turn our attention to today’s CAF World Cup qualifiers, highlighting our best booking codes for a selection of the fixtures (all odds available at time of writing):
Mauritius vs Cameroon
Mauritius head into this match with their dreams of qualifying for the World Cup already over, as they trail the top two places by 10 points with just two games remaining, while Cameroon are firmly in the race for qualification.
Cameroon are second in the standings with 15 points, four behind leaders Cape Verde, meaning they are in desperate need of two wins from their final two games to give them the best chance of either topping the group or securing a play-off place as one of the qualifiers four best runners-up.
Cameroon will be extremely confident heading into this one given Mauritius’ dismal form, as the hosts have failed to win any of their last 10 matches, including five defeats, while the visitors have also won all of their last three meetings with Mauritius.
With Mauritius’ poor defensive record in the group, conceding 15 goals in eight matches, we also expect Cameroon to score several goals in a comfortable win.
Cameroon to win & over 2.5 goals, 1.56 – Book Here
Central African Republic vs Ghana
Ghana head into this one as significant favourites to win this match and move one step closer to winning Group I and securing their automatic qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Central African Republic major underdogs in this one.
Ghana have won six, drawn one and lost only one of their eight qualifiers, including a 4-3 victory against Central African Republic, while the hosts are fifth in the standings with one point, two draws and five defeats.
The hosts have also now lost five of their last six matches, alongside one draw, leading us to expect a comfortable win for the visitors.
Ghana to win, 1.21 – Book Here
Sierra Leone vs Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso will be aiming to strengthen their qualification hopes when they clash with Sierra Leone, as they sit second in the standings with 15 points, leaving them five points behind leaders Egypt and in desperate need of points if they are to secure a spot as one of the best four runners-up.
Burkina Faso are just three points above Sierra Leone, while these two sides drew 2-2 in their latest meeting, but the visitors’ superiority was clear in that match and they are the favourites to win here.
The visitors conceded a late equaliser in the reverse fixture after initially taking a first half 2-0 lead, and we expect them to be extremely motivated to get revenge and ultimately secure a victory in this one.
Burkina Faso to win, 1.80 – Book Here

Atletico MG vs Sport Recife
Two teams in desperate need of points clash in the Brasileiro Serie A as 15th-placed Atletico MG take on bottom of the table Sport Recife.
While the visitors sit bottom of the standings, they have been improved in recent matches with just three defeats in their last 12 games, and that has coincided with an impressive scoring streak from Derik Lacerda.
Lacerda has played just 11 league matches for Sport Recife but already has four goals scored, including the opening goal in a superb 1-1 draw with title-chasing Cruzeiro last time out, leaving the striker in brilliant form heading into this one.
Given Lacerda’s strong scoring form, we believe the Brazilian striker will get on the scoresheet once again here.
Derik Lacerda to score anytime, 5.75 – Book Here
