United Arab Emirates will be looking to end a four-game losing streak when they take on the Kazakhstan in an international friendly on Saturday afternoon.

The home side will go into the competition on the back of a 5-0 loss to Argentina, while Kazakhstan suffered a 2-0 loss to Uzbekistan in their last game on Wednesday.

We say: United Arab Emirates 2-1 Kazakhstan

The United Arab Emirates will be determined to bounce back from their five-goal defeat to Argentina last time out, and we’re backing the home side to triumph here. Kazakhstan were disappointing against Uzbekistan on Wednesday and could be on the verge of another defeat in Saturday’s contest.

Albania and Armeniawho will not compete in the 2022 World Cup, will both look to end the year on a high when they meet in a friendly at the Air Albania Stadium in Tirana on Saturday.

While the Red and Black have won just one of their last seven games at home, the Mountaineers have failed to win any of their last 11 away games.

We say: Albania 1-1 Armenia

A hard-fought contest will take place between two nations who fancy their chances of success on Saturday. With Albania missing key strikers Broja and Uzuni, we could see Armenia come away with some of the spoils in Tirana.

Turkey and that Czech Republic will both aim to end 2022 on a high when they meet at the Gaziantep Stadium in Saturday’s international friendly.

The Crescent-Stars opened the month with a 2-1 success over Scotland on Wednesday night, while their visitors put five over The Faroe Islands without answer.

We say: Turkey 2-0 Czech Republic

Despite missing two of their most potent strikers, the Czech Republic still have international nous in midfield and defence, and Chytil’s confidence could hardly be higher after announcing himself for the national team with a treble.

But a full-strength Turkey side with a taste for goals under Kuntz is a different kettle of fish to the Faroe Islands, and we can only imagine the Crescent-Stars ending the year with a win.

The Faroe Islands will be bidding to bounce back from their heavy defeat to the Czech Republic last time out when they take on Kosovo in an international friendly on Saturday night.

The national team suffered a 5-0 defeat against the Czech Republic on Wednesday, while Kosovo will enter the non-competitive competition after a 2-2 draw with Armenia.

We say: Kosovo 1-1 Faroe Islands

Both sides will fancy their chances of picking up a positive result in this match and we expect it to be a close affair on Saturday. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see a home or away win, but we’re backing a low-scoring draw in this competition.

European minnows Gibraltar and Andorra will look to end 2022 on a positive note when they meet at Victoria Stadium on Saturday.

While the hosts have recently slipped to 204th in the FIFA world rankings, the visitors currently sit 53 places higher after rising to 151st in the standings.

We say: Gibraltar 1-1 Andorra

Both nations rarely go into games they have a real chance of winning, but Saturday’s clash is one they can go into with optimism as they look to end the year on a positive note.

Still, there is little to separate these two sides and a low-scoring move could be on the cards.

Sweden and Algeria go into Saturday’s practice match at Eleda Stadion in Malmö hoping to end the calendar year with a morale-boosting victory.

Janne Andersson’s men ran out 2-1 winners over World Cup-bound Mexico in midweek, while their visitors could only draw 1-1 with Mali.

We say: Sweden 1-2 Algeria

Bringing the big hitters back to the starting line-up should bode well for an Algerian team that has a knack for winning away from home, but Sweden has its own experienced internationals waiting in the wings.

Andersson’s side will have the vociferous home support behind them, but a touch of additional quality in midfield and attack should help get Algeria over the line for their first ever victory over the blue and yellows.
