MOROCCO V SOUTH AFRICA
Fifa ranking: Morocco 74th and South Africa 68th
Useful facts: In this international friendly, Morocco take on South Africa in what could be an interesting encounter. The North Africans are traditionally very strong at home, while Gordon Igesund's charges will also want to impress. This could be a feisty affair at the Adrar Stadium.
Clive Barker: You've put me in the middle of it here! Ha, ha! I'll say a win for Morocco, but I want Bafana Bafana to win.
FRANCE V AUSTRALIA
Fifa ranking: France 25th and Australia 53rd
Useful facts: France have won just once in their last five matches played, which is quite a poor record for such a talented squad. Australia also aren't in the best form after being trounced by Brazil recently. However, France should still be favourites in this international friendly.
Clive Barker: You'd have to say France will win at home, hey.
CROATIA V BELGIUM
Fifa ranking: Croatia 2nd and Belgium 1st (in Group A)
Useful facts: Croatia need a win to all but secure a second place finish in Group A of European World Cup qualifying. A second place finish could be enough for the team to advance to the finals in Brazil in 2014. A victory for Belgium will be enough for the side to win Group A. This could be an entertaining clash in Croatia.
Clive Barker: Belgium have their best team in a very long time. But I'm going to say a Croatia win.
IVORY COAST V SENEGAL
Fifa ranking: Ivory Coast 19th and Senegal 66th
Useful facts: African powerhouse Ivory Coast haven't been in the best form of late. The Yaya Toure-inspired side have only won once in their last five matches. This could mean Senegal might fancy their chances in this African World Cup qualifying final round match.
Clive Barker: Ivory Coast win.
ETHIOPIA V NIGERIA
Fifa ranking: Ethiopia 93rd and Nigeria 36th
Useful facts: Ethiopia have been in some excellent form in African World Cup qualifying and will no doubt want to continue producing the goods. This means Afcon champions, Nigeria, might not have it all their own way in Ethiopia.
Clive Barker: Nigeria should win this one.
TUNISIA V CAMEROON
Fifa ranking: Tunisia 46th and Cameroon 61st
Useful facts: Tunisia are a solid team at home and they will need to show that same kind of form when they welcome Cameroon. The Indomitable Lions are generally a very good football team and will want a win in this clash. This African World Cup qualifying game could be a tight affair.
Clive Barker: This will be close, so I'll go for a draw.
BURKINA FASO V ALGERIA
Fifa ranking: Burkina Faso 51st and Algeria 28th
Useful facts: Burkina Faso have lost three of their last five matches played and aren't in the best of form. On the other hand, Algeria are on fire after winning four of their last five matches played. This seems to show that Algeria ought to be odds on favourites for a win in this encounter.
Clive Barker: Draw.
DENMARK V ITALY
Fifa ranking: Denmark 3rd and Italy 1st (in Group B)
Useful facts: Denmark desperately need a win to stay in contention to qualify for the 2014 World Cup. Italy have already won Group B and may take the foot off the gas in this encounter. This could mean the Danes may get the result they need.
Clive Barker: Italy always play for a draw, don't they? Ha, ha! No, I'll go for an Italy win.
