There will be decisive moments in four different Qualifiers and several friendlies focused on the World Cup in Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

Check out below which matches stand out the most.

11/13 - Thursday

African Qualifiers Playoff

1pm - Nigeria vs Gabon

4pm - Cameroon vs Democratic Republic of Congo

Single matches that will determine the playoff finalist. The decision will be on Sunday (11/16) and will indicate the African representative in the intercontinental playoff. So far, only New Caledonia and Bolivia have secured their spots.

Asian Qualifiers Playoff

1pm - United Arab Emirates vs Iraq

First leg for a spot in the intercontinental playoff.

Penultimate round of the European Qualifiers for the World Cup

4:45pm - France vs Ukraine - Group D

A "simple" win will be enough for Mbappé & Co. to secure their spot in the World Cup. Ukraine needs a win to reach ten points before the final round.

4:45pm - England vs Serbia - Group K

The English Team is already in the World Cup. But they face a rival fighting for a playoff spot.

The Serbians have ten points and are competing with Sylvinho's Albania, who have 11 and visit bottom-placed Latvia.

4:45pm - Ireland vs Portugal - Group F

Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. lead with ten points. They face an Ireland side with four points, focused on the playoff.

The Portuguese team's mathematical qualification will be secured even with a draw if Hungary (five points) does not beat Armenia (three) away from home.

4:45pm - Moldova vs Italy - Group I

Leading with 18 points, Norway faces Estonia earlier (2pm). They are expected to win and increase their already comfortable goal difference over Italy, which is currently 26 to 10.

Already assured of a playoff spot, the Azzurra (with 15 points) cling to the "unlikely" to keep their chances of overtaking their rivals for the group lead in the final round—which will be a direct clash on Italian soil.

Fifth round of the Third Phase of the Concacaf Qualifiers

7pm - Suriname vs El Salvador - Group A

Neighboring Brazil, Suriname leads the group with nine points and defends its position against El Salvador (three), who are playing their last cards. Only the group leader advances directly.

9pm - Guatemala vs Panama - Group A

Panama has the same points as Suriname but loses out on goals scored. They visit Guatemala (five) and need to win to go into the final round with a chance.

9pm - Bermuda vs Curaçao - Group B

Favorites against a pointless opponent, Curaçao must win. A draw in the other group match would guarantee them the lead before the final round.

9pm - Trinidad & Tobago vs Jamaica - Group B

The Reggae Boyz are in first with nine points. They face a rival with five points who is at least trying to reach the playoff.

9pm - Nicaragua vs Honduras - Group C

The Honduran team leads with eight points and could even secure their World Cup spot this round with a win and a draw in the Haiti (five) vs Costa Rica (six) match.

9pm - Haiti vs Costa Rica - Group C

A draw will be fatal for both, considering Honduras' favoritism. The possible winner will go into the final round very much alive.

International Friendly

9:30pm - Canada vs Ecuador

11/14 - Friday

Penultimate round of the European Qualifiers for the World Cup

4:45pm - Luxembourg vs Germany - Group A

Germany must win. They have the same nine points as Slovakia and a superior goal difference (five to four).

Their main rival for the direct spot will host Northern Ireland, who have six points and are still dreaming.

4:45pm - Poland vs Netherlands - Group G

The team of Memphis, Denzel Dumfries & Co. will secure a direct spot with an away win, as they lead in points: 16 to 13.

Lewa and his compatriots need to win, as a draw will keep their rivals in a good position for the final round.

4:45pm - Croatia vs Faroe Islands - Group L

The 2018 World Cup runners-up need only a simple draw to go to the World Cup. They lead the group with 16 points, three more than the Czech Republic, who have played one more match.

The Faroe Islands' mission to reach the playoff is practically impossible. They have 12 points and have already played seven matches. They need to win and then hope the Czech Republic loses to winless Gibraltar.

International Friendlies

7:20am - Japan vs Ghana

1pm - Angola vs Argentina

11/15 - Saturday

Penultimate round of the European Qualifiers for the World Cup

11am - Kazakhstan vs Belgium - Group J

The Red Devils took the lead in Group J in the last round and will secure their World Cup spot with a win.

They would reach 17 points against North Macedonia's 13, who have played one more match.

Wales has ten and is expected to beat Liechtenstein on the same Saturday and go into the final round in a good position to host North Macedonia.

2pm - Georgia vs Spain - Group E

An away win will leave La Roja virtually qualified for the World Cup. They would reach 15 points—maintaining a 100% record.

Turkey, with nine, is expected to beat winless Bulgaria.

The final round will be Spain vs Turkey. Spain's big advantage is their current goal difference: 15 to three.

4:45pm - Switzerland vs Sweden - Group B

Group B leaders Switzerland face the biggest disappointment of the Qualifiers: Sweden, with just a single point. And they can already celebrate their World Cup spot.

A win will take the Swiss to 13 points. Kosovo (ten) visit Slovenia (three) at the same time and, if they slip up, will have to settle for a playoff spot.

2pm - Cyprus vs Austria - Group H

Austria's spot (15 points and 16 goal difference) could be secured in this penultimate round with a win and a draw in the other group match.

4:45pm - Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Romania - Group H

Second place (13 points and eight goal difference), Bosnia has a tough situation to keep fighting for the direct spot. They would need Austria to slip up earlier and then win in front of their fans. The final round will be Austria vs Bosnia.

4:45pm - Denmark vs Belarus - Group C

With the same ten points as Scotland but a superior goal difference (eleven to five), Denmark can get close to qualification.

4:45pm - Greece vs Scotland - Group C

Scotland knows that a Danish rout is likely in the other match. They will need to do their part and win before the final round, which will be a direct clash in Glasgow.

International Friendlies
