The second international break of the season dominates this week, but with Europe waiting until Thursday to restart their World Cup qualifying campaign, the Wednesday focus on the global stage turns to Africa. There are plenty of African World Cup qualifiers as well as an intriguing Brazilian Serie A match to get stuck into on Wednesday’s coupon.

Courtesy of a gift from often calamitous goalkeeper Andre Onana, Bubista’s side landed a stunning 1-0 victory over Cameroon in September to move four points clear of the the Indomitable Lions in Group D. Their next opponents, Libya, are five points behind them in third, so a point would secure a top-two spot for the Blue Sharks. Keep the draw on side with that in mind, as there is a chance Bubista plays safe with a kind final fixture against section basement boys Eswatini up next, but there is enough talent in their squad to make it three wins in a row for Cape Verde.Longshot of the day – Draw in Chad vs Mali @ 11/2Despite boasting a star-filled squad containing plenty of recognisable names such as Yves Bissouma, Moussa Djenepo and Kamory Doumbia, Mali are on the brink of missing out on the World Cup. The Eagles need to win their final two matches and hope Madagascar and Comoros drop points to finish second, but there is no guarantee that they can keep their side of the bargain. A trip to Chad, the side propping up Group I, looks winnable and they are 1/8 to secure all three points. However, Mali are becoming increasingly hard to trust on their travels, winning just one of their last five away games. Chad may have endured a miserable qualifying campaign, but they have drawn their last four home matches, holding Sierra Leone, DR Congo, Kenya and, most impressively, Ghana to stalemates, so you have to question why the price is so large for things to finish level on Wednesday.Special of the day – Bet Builder – Fluminense to beat Mirassol, Under 3.5 goals, Under 7.5 corners – 21/2Just one point and one place separates Mirassol and Fluminense in the Brazilian Serie A, so a cagey affair can be expected when they clash in the early hours of Thursday morning. Fluminense’s 25 games have produced an average of just 2.56 goals per match, so don’t expect fireworks in Sao Paulo. Do, however, expect a Flu win. The visitors are unbeaten in five matches and, with only leaders Palmeiras (12) picking up more points than their 10 over the last five Serie A games, Fluminense are clearly in the form to see off Mirassol, who have managed just one win in five and will have to cope without suspended pair Jose Aldo and Lucas Ramon. Like goals, corners could also come at a premium, with Flu’s last four games all featuring fewer than eight flag-kicks. Take under 7.5 corners to round out your Bet Builder.BET £10 AND GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BETOdds correct at time of publish and subject to change18+ New customers only.
