Match Day 10/7

A few MLS games to make up fixture re-adjustments and then everyone will be set on 32 matches played ahead of the final two weekends.

Also, more World Cup qualifying and a couple of potential deciders today in Africa.

All Times CDT

MLS
NYRB - Vancouver, 4 p.m. (Univisión Deportes)
Minnesota - Sporting KC, 7 p.m.
Colorado - Dallas, 8 p.m.

CONCACAF - Matchday 9 of 10
Costa Rica - Honduras, 5 p.m. (beIN Connect 3/beIN español)

Costa Rica will be qualified for Russia with a point today against Honduras. Honduras need a result to get back in the hunt for the playoff place, but their horrendous goal difference is a beast on their shoulders.



UEFA - Matchday 9 of 10
Group A
Sweden - Luxembourg, 11 a.m. (FS+)
Belarus - Netherlands, 1:45 p.m. (ESPN3)
Bulgaria - France, 1:45 p.m. (FS2)

This one is unlikely to be decided today as France come in with a single point lead on Sweden and both rate to win. France will have a trickier matchup away to Bulgaria, so Sweden will be ready to pounce if there's a slip-up. The Dutch need many slip-ups to get back in the hunt for second.



Group B
Faroe Islands - Latvia, 11 a.m.
Andorra - Portugal, 1:45 p.m. (ESPN3)
Switzerland - Hungary, 1:45 p.m. (FS+)

Today is pretty simple for Portugal and Switzerland: Hold serve then duke it out in a winner-take-all on Tuesday at Estadio da Luz. Switzerland maintaining a perfect record and have a three-point lead from their win over Portugal on Matchday 1 in Basel.



Group H
Bosnia-Herzegovina - Belgium, 11 a.m. (ESPN3)
Gibraltar - Estonia, 11 a.m. (ESPN3)
Cyprus - Greece, 1:45 p.m.

Belgium have already qualified, so the race here is for second place between Bosnia and Greece. It's not all rosy in that race, though, as entering today it's the Group H runner-up (currently Bosnia) as the odd team out in the second-place table.





CAF - Matchday 4 or 5 of 6
Group A
Guinea - Tunisia, noon (beIN Connect 4)
Libya - DR Congo, noon (beIN Connect 5)

Tunisia can qualify today with a win an loss or draw by DR Congo, or a draw if DR Congo are beaten by Libya.

Group B
Cameroon - Algeria, 11 a.m. (beIN español)
Nigeria - Zambia, 11 a.m. (beIN)

In Group B, Nigeria are in a similar spot to Tunisia except their path is more direct. Victory over Zambia will secure qualification for the Super Eagles. In a stunner, African champions Cameroon are entering the final two matches of play eliminated from contention.

Group C
Morocco - Gabon, 2 p.m.

In what has turned out to be a more wide open group than expected, Morocco can jump back to the top of the heap with a win today over Gabon after Ivory Coast's Friday draw against Mali. This group will come down to the final matches.

Group D
South Africa - Burkina Faso, 8 a.m. (beIN español)
Cape Verde - Senegal, 12:30 p.m. (beIN Connect 6)

So while this was intended to be Matchday 5, this group will be prolonged after the South Africa-Senegal game was ordered replayed by CAS due to a corrupt referee. It's all very tightly bunched in Group D and still plenty to go with that replay not scheduled to take place until the play-off break in November.

Group E
Uganda - Ghana, 8 a.m. (beIN, beIN Connect 4)

Ghana need victory to avoid elimination today. Uganda can go back to the top of the group with a win, though Egypt are home against Congo tomorrow.
