Thailand have won just one of their last five matches, having beaten Hong Kong 1-0 last time out after a 2-2 draw with Chinese Taipei. In the run-up to these matches, Thailand had lost 2-0, 3-1 and 1-0 to UAE, Syria and Chinese Taipei.

Lebanon are winless in their last five games, having suffered 1-0 losses to UAE and South Korea on either side of a 1-1 draw with Iraq as well as 2-0 and 3-0 defeats against Syria and Iran.
Egypt and Zambia face off in an international friendly on Thursday in what could be a potential goal-fest.

The first Euro 2024 qualifier on this list comes from Group A, where Norway travels to Cyprus in what is a must-win game for Stale Solbakken’s side.
Cyprus are in dire form, having lost four qualifiers on the bounce to Spain 6-0, Scotland 3-0, Norway 3-1 and Georgia 2-1 after a 2-2 draw with Armenia in an international friendly.
A previously mentioned Norway won the reverse fixture 3-1 as Ola Solbakken and Erling Haaland (2) both got on the scoresheet. This was the start of a three-game winning streak for the Norwegians, having thrashed Jordan 6-0 and earned a crucial 2-1 home victory over Georgia. Prior to this run of results, the visitors had suffered a potentially costly 2-1 home defeat to Scotland after being held to a 1-1 away draw in Georgia.
Spain versus Scotland could be an entertaining match-up in Group A, with the hosts currently trailing Steve Clarke’s men by six points, however, Luis de la Fuente’s men do have one game in hand.
La Roja have been in excellent goalscoring form of late, having thrashed Cyprus 6-0 and Georgia 7-1 after emerging victorious in the Nations League via a 5-4 penalty shootout win over Croatia after a 0-0 draw. In the semi-finals of the Nations League, they beat Italy 2-1 having suffered a 2-0 loss to Scotland before this as Scott McTominay scored a brace.
Scotland’s last match resulted in a 3-1 friendly loss to England at Hampden Park, however, Clarke’s side should not be discouraged by this, having won their previous four matches against Cyprus 3-0, Georgia 2-0, Norway 2-1 and Spain 2-0.
