Girona host Celta Vigo in what should be an interesting game as both teams won their respective games before the international break.

In truth, that wasn’t the best of games for them, and their home form ...

Sevilla played so many games when the season began because of their involvement in European football and they should be happy for the international break that gave them a breather, but playing Getafe will not be easy, regardless.

Julen Lopetegui will have a tough time this weekend when he takes his star-studded Real Madrid team to the San Mames – a stadium where they are never welcome and a stadium where many teams struggle to get a result.

These two sides have yet to lose a game this season and they will both be looking to maintain that record after this game however PSG have a better record against their visitors.

These two European heavyweights go face to face in one of the most interesting games of the Nations League campaign.

These two nations meet as Portugal look to end a long period without a win against the Azzuri, and this could be their best chance in recent times to achieve that.

France returned to competitive football on Thursday after winning the World Cup in Russia and it ended in a goalless stalemate against Germany.
