Germany v England –

It is nearly a year to the day since England beat Germany 3-2 in Berlin, and a similar result would do nicely here.

The Germans are notoriously under par in friendlies, winning just three of their last six, including defeat to Slovakia as well as the Three Lions.

Joachim Low’s side have scored 11 goals in those matches, though, and are likely to find their way past England.

The visitors, meanwhile, have a good recent friendly record.

Under Roy Hodgson, they beat France 2-0 – as well as the victory over Wednesday’s opponents – and Gareth Southate’s team also scored twice against Spain in November.

Both sides possess plenty of firepower in attack, so should both score.

Uruguay v Brazil -

Expect plenty of goals in Montevideo on Thursday night, even though both of these sides are missing their first-choice strikers.

Luis Suarez is suspended and Gabriel Jesus is injured, but Edinson Cavani and Neymar – with a combined 54 goals this season – are more than capable replacements.

It’s safe to assume that Brazil will find the net, as they have in each of their last seven fixtures.

They’ve bagged 18 during that run, and have only been kept off the scoresheet away from home once since 2013.

Uruguay have also scored in six of their last seven games, and a 1-0 defeat to Venezuela last June is the only time they have failed to register in a home game in the past three years.

These sides drew 2-2 when they last met almost exactly a year ago. A repeat result would suit us.

UAE v Japan –

You may just have to take the plunge and trust us on this one.

Japan have scored 20 goals in their last eight matches, not failing to net since June 2015.

Their last match with UAE, too, resulted in a 2-1 victory.

Thursday’s hosts, meanwhile, have scored more than two in six of their last eight matches, including five in their last two.

Asian international football experts we may not be, but there should be goals here if all goes to form.

Thailand v Saudi Arabia -

Thailand seem overmatched in this top-v-bottom Asian World Cup qualifier.

It would be no surprise, however, if the War Elephants manage to get on the scoresheet.

They have scored in each of their last eight games, and have been in fine form since their last qualifier, with six wins and just a single defeat.

They should be able to breach a Saudi defence that have kept just two clean sheets in their last six.

The Green Falcons will almost certainly score, too.

They bagged seven against Cambodia in their last game, and have netted in all but two of their last 19 fixtures.
