Football Predictions This Week: November 9 - November 15, 2026
Welcome to PredictNext's weekly football forecast roundup, covering 30 matches across six competitions from November 9 to November 15, 2026. From Liga MX drama to UEFA Nations League heavyweights, there's plenty to dig into this week. Let's break down the key matchups, our AI's predictions, and where the probability models are pointing.
Liga MX: Monday Gets Off to a Flying Start
The week opens with two intriguing Liga MX fixtures on Monday, November 9.
First up, Querétaro host Puebla in a match where our AI forecasts a 2-1 home win, backed by a 51% home probability — the clearest edge of the two Monday games. With a confidence score of 62/100, this is actually one of the more assured calls of the entire week.
The second Liga MX clash sees León take on Guadalajara, and here the script flips entirely. Our model predicts a 1-2 away victory for Guadalajara, with the away probability sitting at 44% compared to just 30% for a León win. At 58/100 confidence, it's a credible forecast, and Guadalajara traveling well makes this one to watch.
FA Cup: Non-League Action
Plymouth Parkway vs Berkhamsted on Monday represents the FA Cup's non-league charm. Our AI tips a 2-1 home win with a 42% home probability, though the away side holds a meaningful 34% chance of an upset. At just 50/100 confidence, this is effectively a coin-flip territory — which is precisely what makes early FA Cup rounds so entertaining.
SAFF Championship: Wednesday's South Asian Showdowns
Two matches from the SAFF Championship land on Wednesday, November 11.
India vs Maldives sees our model heavily backing the home side with a 65% home probability and a predicted 2-0 win. Despite that clear directional signal, confidence sits at only 41/100 — a reminder that regional tournaments can produce unexpected variance.
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka is the week's most uncertain prediction. The model calls a narrow 1-0 Bangladesh win, but confidence is a meager 32/100 — the joint-lowest of the week alongside Equatorial Guinea vs Zimbabwe and Zambia vs Burundi. The 42% home / 32% draw / 26% away split barely separates the outcomes. Expect the unexpected here.
Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications: Thursday's Busy Schedule
Thursday brings a wave of AFCON qualification fixtures, and several stand out.
Ghana vs Somalia is one of the week's cleaner predictions: a 2-0 home win with a dominant 72% home probability. Even so, confidence at 46/100 reflects the inherent unpredictability of qualification football.
Senegal vs Sudan and Cameroon vs Namibia both see our model predicting home wins with identical 55% home probabilities — Senegal forecast to win 2-0 and Cameroon 1-0. These are solid directional forecasts for two of Africa's established footballing nations.
Côte d'Ivoire vs Gambia gets a 2-1 home win prediction at 52% home probability and 47/100 confidence — one of the sharper AFCON calls this week.
Arguably the most interesting AFCON pick is Madagascar vs Guinea-Bissau, where the away side is favored at 48% and the model predicts a 0-2 Guinea-Bissau victory. At just 37/100 confidence, it's a low-certainty call, but the direction is clear.
Equatorial Guinea vs Zimbabwe and Zambia vs Burundi both land as predicted draws — 1-1 and 1-1 respectively — each with just 33/100 confidence. When the model splits the three outcomes this evenly, a draw becomes the marginal pick, but these are genuinely open matches.
UEFA Nations League: The Week's Headline Act
Thursday's UEFA Nations League slate is where the marquee names show up.
Italy vs France is the glamour fixture, and our model plays it cautiously: a predicted 1-1 draw, with France still holding the probability edge at 43% away versus 30% for an Italy win. Confidence is a modest 37/100 — entirely appropriate given the quality and unpredictability of both sides.
England vs Croatia gets a more definitive forecast: 2-1 to England with a 65% home probability and 52/100 confidence — making it one of the week's more confident major-game predictions.
Czech Republic vs Spain is as one-sided as it gets in the UEFA bracket this week. Spain are given a 68% away probability and the model predicts a 0-2 away win, with 53/100 confidence. Spain's quality makes them the clear pick on the road.
Türkiye vs Belgium leans Belgium's way: 42% away probability, predicted 1-2 Belgium win, at 43/100 confidence. Similarly, Armenia vs Cyprus mirrors this pattern almost exactly, with Cyprus predicted to win 1-2 away at the same probability and confidence figures.
San Marino vs Belarus is the week's most lopsided forecast: an 89% away probability for Belarus with a predicted 0-3 scoreline and 61/100 confidence. Outside of San Marino's fixture, it's the most decisive call of the entire week.
Montenegro vs Latvia rounds out the notable UEFA picks, with Montenegro predicted to win 2-0 at 58% home probability and 49/100 confidence.
CONCACAF Nations League: Thursday and Friday Action
The Cayman Islands vs Guyana fixture produces one of the clearest forecasts across all competitions: a 0-3 away win for Guyana with a 75% away probability and 55/100 confidence. That's a remarkable split that speaks to a significant quality gap.
Antigua and Barbuda vs Trinidad and Tobago sees the home side favored at 62% for a 2-0 win, while Curacao vs Panama (Friday) leans Panama's way at 43% away probability, though confidence is low at just 33/100.
Week in Summary
This week's 30-match slate offers a broad mix of competition levels and forecast certainty. The clearest calls sit with San Marino vs Belarus (89% away), Cayman Islands vs Guyana (75% away), and Czech Republic vs Spain (68% away). The highest-confidence individual predictions are Querétaro vs Puebla (62/100) and San Marino vs Belarus (61/100). Meanwhile, matches like Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, Equatorial Guinea vs Zimbabwe, and Zambia vs Burundi are genuine 50-50 battles where our model offers only the thinnest of directional edges. As always, probability analysis gives you the framework — the beautiful game supplies the drama.
