This is live on YouTube. Nigeria need a draw to advance to the play-offs. Cape Verde need to win.
There is some good action in the African qualifiers in store today.
Algeria need a draw against Burkina Faso (4pm kick off) to win the group over the Burkinabés.
Cameroon v Ivory Coast is another final day showdown with Cameroon needing the win to advance. 7pm kickoff.
Another group sees Tunisia and Equatorial Guinea in a last day battle to win their group, but they are playing separate fixtures.

Some action already in Nigeria v Cape Verde. Just saw Cape Verde equalise at 1-1 with a half volley off a corner kick. Only 7 minutes gone.
The Dutch will surely lack no motivation tonight, they will get the win for their crippled coach.
Draw in the other game would see Turkey eliminated

Turkey are leading in Montenegro now. If they hold that it’ll be enough for the play-offs at least.
Squeaky bum time for the Dutch here. I’ve a massive sneaking suspicion they will let in a late goal and go out.
Mbappe has just scored a worldie for France. Ukraine are going to overtake Finland and go to the play-offs.

My massive sneaking suspicion has just had a coach and horses driven through it by Tottenham’s Steven Bergwijn. Great finish.

North Macedonia and Wales probably the best draw.
How does it work? Is it just seeded v unseeded and winning 6 teams draw each other in one off game to reach Qatar?
Hopefully they seed Portugal and Italy. Teams like that need to be at World Cup
Open draw for the playoff final(s)? Or would seeded teams be kept away from each other where possible (assuming they win their semi?)
Open draw at minute anyway.
