UEFA Nations League (Leagues A, B, D) & Africa Cup of Nations Qualification — Match Previews

A packed Thursday card brings the UEFA Nations League back into focus, headlined by a heavyweight clash as the Netherlands welcome Germany in League A — two sides with plenty of recent needle between them and both eager to top their group. Elsewhere Portugal host Wales, Norway face Denmark in a Scandinavian derby, and Serbia take on Greece in what should be a lively night across the continent.

In Africa, the Cup of Nations qualifiers roll on with a blockbuster in Abidjan as hosts and defending-champion-adjacent Ivory Coast take on old rivals Ghana, while Tunisia, Cameroon and D.R. Congo all look to keep their qualification hopes firmly on track at home.

Here’s the full card with a lean on every fixture — as ever, international windows can be unpredictable with squad rotation and fitness concerns, so treat these as informed guides rather than certainties.
