When this season began, many would have backed Sevilla to finish inside the top three easily and not many would have considered Valencia to be inside the top five but these two teams have had very different seasons to what was expected of them. Valencia have made a stunning start to the new season and they come into this game ...

Schalke 04 has endured some tough fixtures over the past few weeks as they have had to face Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, and Hoffenheim, before playing Hertha Berlin away last weekend. They impressed in that fixture as they came out 2-0 victors in a venue that the host rarely fail to win. That result ended their run of three matches ...

After a terrible start to the new season that saw them lose their first three games, conceding ten goals in the process, West Ham havestarted to do well this season finally. A combination of new signings who have failed to make an impact and injuries has seen them fail to score enough goals as well as keep their oppositions from ...

This could be the last game that Ronald Koeman takes Everton as their manager with his position coming under increased scrutiny. The Dutch man oversaw a spending spree that almost doubled that of City Rivals Liverpool yet his team lacks creativity, are low on confidence and do not seem to even have what it takes to finish in the top ...

Arsenal seem to have taken to the Europa League like fish to water as they have won their first two matches both of which ended with 2 goals leads but they travel to Serbia in this game to face an equally impressive and unbeaten Red Star. The last time these teams faced each other was in 1970 with the Gunners ...

Zenith host Rosenborg after a solid start to their European campaign which has seen them win two of their last two group games, scoring 8 goals and conceding just one in the process. They have slumped in their local league recently even though they remain top of the league. They come into this game off the back of a 0-1 ...

Celtic brought themselves back into the mix for qualification to the next round with a win over Anderlecht on match day two but those hopes will likely be dashed if they lose in Bavaria here. Bayern Munich lost their last Champions League game 3-0 at PSG which proved to be the last straw for Carlo Ancelotti who got the sack ...

Chelsea won the Premier League last season thanks in part to the absence of European football. This season has been different as they have realised but they have started the season well and could still make it far in the Champions League come May. After an impressive win over Qarabag on match day one, they shocked everyone by recording an ...

Benfica could frustrate Manchester United here again as they have done twice before even though they have had a terrible start to the new season in Europe. Within the last 12 years, they have helped to eliminate Manchester United from this competition twice. The first time being in December 2005 when they beat the Red Devils 2-1 at home and ...

Real Madrid famously became the first team to retain the Champions League trophy when they won it last season beating a previously watertight Juventus by 4-1 and they look like they want to win for another record breaking third consecutive time this season. They have started this season’s competition well beating APOEL 3-0 at home before earning another three points ...

Manchester City are arguably the most unstoppable team in the world right now – the Cityzens have continued to score incredible amounts of goals week in, week out but they face another in-form team in this game and this match promises to be an exciting one. They dismantled Stoke City 7-2 over the weekend – a result which sends them ...

This is one of the most interesting fixture in the Spanish league season as it always has lots of goal mouth action. Celta Vigo have been very attacking in their games this season and we expect them to maintain the same approach here while Las Palmas will try to match them and avoid any form of humiliation at home. Paco ...

  Leicester have had an indifferent season so far but many will consider this season still too early to judge. They started their season strongly although they lost to Arsenal in a 4-3 thriller – since that then they have won three, drawn twice and lost 3 times in their seven league games. They have had a solid fixture list ...

The Serie A is filled with interesting games this weekend but this Milan derby is arguably the biggest of them all. Both Milan teams have been struggling in recent seasons but with new investment from new Chinese owners they are both looking to get into the top four once again this season. Despite spending less than AC Milan this summer, ...

  The big games of this weekend continues in Italy as Juventus host SS Lazio hoping to avenge their 3-2 loss to them in the Supercoppa Italia early on in the season. The Old Ladies were stunned by a late winner in that match which ended a long stretch of losing streak for Lazio against the Italian champions and the ...
