Wednesday

Ameen Al-Dakhil (Belgium) v Serbia 7:45pm (H)

Belgium and Al-Dakhil kick off their November programme with a friendly at home to Serbia in Brussels before taking on Azerbaijan this Sunday in a 2024 Euro Qualifier.

The Red Devils cemented their place in next summer’s competition last month and will now be looking to seal a first-place finish with Austria lurking behind in 2nd place by just a point.

Next fixture – v Azerbaijan, Sunday 19th November, 7:45pm (H)

Zeki Amdouni (Switzerland) v Belarus 7:45pm (A)

Switzerland have the first of their 2024 Euro Qualifier double-header on Wednesday night as Murat Yakin’s side take on Israel.

Victory for Amdouni and the Swiss would secure their place in the Euro’s with two games of the group stages to spare before the Reds host Kosovo and Muric on Saturday evening in Basel.

Next fixture – v Kosovo, Saturday 18th November 7:45pm (H)

Thursday

Luca Koleosho (Italy U21s) v San Marino 5:30pm (A)

After representing Italy’s U20s in the September international break and impressive in the Premier League over recent weeks, Koleosho has received his first U21s call up for the Azzurri.

The winger is part of the squad that take on San Marino on Thursday evening before the young Italians travel to Dublin to face Ireland on Tuesday night.

Next fixture – v Ireland, Tuesday 5:30pm (A)

Johann Berg Gudmundsson (Iceland) v Slovakia 7:45pm (A)

Chances of automatic qualification to next year’s competition are unlikely for Gudmundsson and his Iceland teammates, as the Scandinavian side would need to win both their fixtures this week and depend on surrounding results to book their place.

However, there is still the opportunity of going through the play-off qualification route. Iceland travel to Slovakia on Thursday night before facing Portugal on Sunday to conclude their 2024 Euro Qualifying group stages.

Next fixture – v Portugal, Sunday 19th November 7:45pm (A)

Iceland winger looks ahead to upcoming Euro’s qualifiers double-header

Sander Berge (Norway) v Faroe Islands 5:00pm (H)

Norway host the Faroe Islands in a friendly in the first of their two fixtures this week, before travelling to Scotland on Sunday night in a 2024 Euro Qualifier.

Berge and his side are unable to qualify for the 2024 Euros through the automatic spots, but can still potentially qualify via the play-off route as they currently sit third in the Group A.

Next fixture - v Scotland, Sunday 19th November 7:45pm (A)
