Brazil v Bolivia (WC qualifier)
FIFA rankings: Brazil 4th Bolivia 75th
Useful facts: This is a complete mismatch. Brazil have won five of their nine matches against Bolivia and lost just two of them. Furthermore, A Selecao have won three of their last five, while Bolivia have tasted defeat as many times in that same timeframe.
Thomas Kwenaite: 3–0 to Brazil.
Poland v Denmark (WC qualifier)
FIFA rankings: Poland 17th Denmark 46th
Useful facts: Historically, this game appears to favour Denmark, who've won 11 of their 19 matches against the Polish team over the years. However, on current form, the Poles are certainly at an advantage, having remained undefeated in their last five matches. However, four of those games ended in draws, which is likely the way that this match will end as well.
Thomas Kwenaite: 3–1 to Denmark.
Slovenia v Slovakia (WC qualifier)
FIFA rankings: Slovenia 67th Slovakia 28th
Useful facts: While Slovakia will curse the poor form that has seen them win only once in their last five, they will take consolation from the fact that Slovenia have also recorded only a single win in that timeframe. However, one win for Slovakia in their five previous encounters will not help their morale.
Thomas Kwenaite: 1–0 to Slovenia.
