Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's International Friendlies fixtures, including the Netherlands vs. Canada.

Mexico vs. Uruguay (Thursday, 2.00am)

With under three weeks to go until the Copa America kicks off, both Mexico and Uruguay step up their preparations by meeting in Denver on Wednesday evening.

While an experimental Mexican side saw off Bolivia in their first June friendly, an unfamiliar La Celeste lineup were held goalless by Costa Rica last time out.

We say: Mexico 1-2 Uruguay

Both teams fielded weakened teams last time out, but they will step up a gear or two in their penultimate pre-Copa America friendly.

Given the attacking ability available to either coach, the locals in Colorado should be treated to goals, with Bielsa' Uruguay likeliest to take victory.

Gibraltar vs. Wales (Thursday, 5.00pm)

Wales commence their preparations for the UEFA Nations League later this year with a friendly against international minnows Gibraltar.

Although the Dragons will be expecting to record a convincing win, their opponents suggested earlier this week they are capable of frustrating Rob Page's side on Thursday.

We say: Gibraltar 0-3 Wales

Having restricted Scotland for the first half of Monday's friendly, Gibraltar will be encouraged ahead of this contest. However, if Wales can open the scoring during the early stages, you would expect them to cruise to a morale-boosting win.

Netherlands vs. Canada (Thursday, 7.45pm)

Netherlands continue their final preparations for Euro 2024 with an international friendly against Canada on Thursday evening.

Oranje will be looking for a morale-boosting win against the 2022 World Cup participants having ended the March international break on a low note.

We say: Netherlands 3-1 Canada

There are players in this Canadian squad who will feel that they can impact on this contest, perhaps even guide Canada to a draw. However, we are backing the Dutch to eventually come through in style, potentially courtesy of a fast conclusion to the match.
