- England faces Ghana in a crucial top-of-the-table Group L clash at Boston Stadium, with both teams having secured three points from their opening fixtures.

- Group K sees Portugal , who drew 1-1 with DR Congo in their opener, take on debutants Uzbekistan at Houston Stadium; manager Roberto Martínez is under pressure to improve his side's attacking chemistry, with Cristiano Ronaldo likely to keep his place up front.
- The final Group K match features group leaders Colombia against DR Congo at Estadio Guadalajara, Mexico, with DR Congo hoping to replicate the performance that earned them a point against Portugal.
