FIFA ranking: November 2020 probable ranking

The upcoming November FIFA window will see the return of African competitive NT-football. They resume their AFCON 2021 (already postponed to January 2022) qualifying campaign with match days 3 and 4 of 6. CONMEBOL continues their qualifying campaign for the World Cup 2022 with match days 3 and 4 of 18 and UEFA continues with the last two match days in the group stage of the UEFA Nations League 2021. Also this window is extended with 1 day for UEFA teams so there is room for a third match day which will be filled with the single-leg finals of the four EURO 2021 qualifying play-off paths. Of the other 47 UEFA teams only Armenia will not play a friendly on that day.

There are also a few friendlies scheduled for CONCACAF and AFC teams although their competitive matches are postponed to March next year.

Here is the probable November 2020 ranking, to be published on November 26th. This ranking will be used to seed the UEFA teams in pots of 10 teams for the draw of their qualifying campaign for the World Cup 2022, scheduled for December 7th.

This preview is calculated with elo-predicted results for all 159 currently scheduled and according to my method included matches, out of a total of 160 currently scheduled matches. See the probable results for a list of which scheduled matches are included.
