Germany, by beating North Macedonia on Monday, can validate its ticket for Qatar, just like Denmark if it beats Austria on Tuesday, in qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup.

Mannschaft will be assured of finishing first in their group if they beat the Macedonians (8:45 p.m.) and if, at the same time, Armenia does not win in Romania.

Travel to Skopje difficult for the men of Hansi Flick, who lost at home against the Balkan country (2-1) in March and who remain on a sluggish victory against Romania (2-1).

At the same time, the Netherlands of Memphis Depay, who have averaged one goal per game since the start of qualifying, can follow suit against Gibraltar.

The Dutch took a two-point lead at the top of their group by winning in Latvia 1-0 while Norway (14 pts) and Turkey (12 pts), their two pursuers, neutralized each other on Friday.

The Oranje face the most affordable opponent in Group G, whose counter remains stuck at zero points, with only 3 goals scored for 28 conceded.

- England on its way -

On Tuesday, Denmark will qualify directly if they beat Austria.

The Danes dominate Group F with a head and shoulders, with 7 wins in as many matches.

Above all, they scored 26 goals and conceded none, in line with their superb run at Euro-2021, where they fell in the semi-final against England.

Still undefeated in Group I, the "Three Lions" host Hungary (8:45 p.m.), while Albania (15 pts) and Poland (14 pts), behind in the standings, face each other in a crucial match for qualification .

At the same time, Portugal welcomes Luxembourg.

The Seleçao are one point behind Serbia (14 pts) - who however played one more match - whose objective will be to consolidate their place at the top of the standings by beating Azerbaijan.

The indestructible Cristiano Ronaldo will once again be the N.1 asset of the Seleçao.

Relaunched since his return to Manchester United this summer, the Portuguese striker scored his 112th selection goal on Saturday against Qatar (3-0), invited by UEFA in Group A, but whose results are not taken into account - as the organizer of the 2022 World Cup, the country is automatically qualified for the competition.
