Shakhtar Dontesk vs Real Madrid 02/12/20

Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid go head-to-head at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium as the hosts fight for their UEFA Champions League life.

After suffering back-to-back defeats to Borussia Monchengladbach via an aggregate 10-0 score, Shakhtar face a must-win affair as they take the field trailing second-placed Real Madrid by three points. The Ukrainian giants have failed to get on the scoresheet in each of their last three group stage outings. Against this backdrop, Luis Castro’s men have scored precisely three goals per game in both of their previous European clashes against Real Madrid, securing a 3-2 win in the reverse fixture. Indeed, the last three Champions League meetings between these two teams have witnessed a total of 16 goals scored, on an average of 5.3 per match. But, the ‘Hirnyky’ lament a disappointing European record against Spanish adversaries, having won just six of their 26 such fixtures overall (D6, L14).

Meanwhile, Zinedine Zidane’s men have seen their Champions League up and running after a dismal start, going from two straight group stage games without a win (D1, L1) to back-to-back victories. Curiously, before beating Inter Milan 2-0 on Matchday 4, each of Real Madrid’s four previous group stage fixtures had seen both teams score at least twice! ‘Los Blancos’ have suffered just one defeat in their last seven away European clashes against Ukrainian clubs (W2, D4), losing none of the previous four. Also, they have scored over 1.5 goals in each of their last three away matches in the Champions League group stage. A victory in Kyiv would propel Real Madrid to the Champions League knock-out stage for the 24th season running, which is the competition record.

Porto vs Manchester City 02/12/20

The UEFA Champions League clash between Porto and Manchester City at the Estádio do Dragão will see the two sides battle it out for a top place in Group C.

The hosts have hit the ground running in Europe since succumbing to a 3-1 loss to Manchester City on Matchday 1, winning each of their subsequent three group stage matches via multiple-goal margins and without conceding. Quick out of the blocks, the ‘Dragons’ have opened the scoring in the first half in each of their opening four group stage fixtures, finding the net within 15 minutes on three of those occasions. But, they have lost three of their previous European clashes against Manchester City via an aggregate score of 2-9, conceding over 1.5 goals in each match. Additionally, four of Porto’s last five games versus the Premier League clubs in the Champions League have ended in a loss (D1), with their only defeat in their seven previous Champions League home fixtures coming at the hands of English opposition (W6).

On the other hand, the visitors have won each of their opening four group stage games, scoring precisely three goals per match on three of those occasions. Indeed, free-scoring ‘Sky Blues’ have found the net in the first half in each fixture during that four-match sequence, netting precisely two second-half goals in three. It’s, however, worth noting that they have bagged under 1.5 goals in five of their last eight competitive outings. But, Manchester City must be confident of maintaining their 100% start to the competition, knowing they have won five of their last seven European trips to Portugal (D1, L1). Also, Pep Guardiola’s men have notably improved their defensive structure, as they’ve already racked up three clean sheets in the Champions League this term compared to just two in nine matches last season.

Manchester United vs PSG 03/12/20

Manchester United will be looking to avoid defeat against PSG at Old Trafford, which will ensure they secure a berth in the UEFA Champions League knock-out stage.

Despite an underwhelming Premier League start, the ‘Red Devils’ have been impressive in the Champions League so far, winning three of their opening four group stage matches (L1). High scoring has been a theme for Manchester United in Europe this season, as each of those four fixtures has produced over 2.5 total goals. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have often tried to start their Champions League games, as evidenced by the fact they have scored the opening goal within 25 minutes in three of four outings in Group H. Moreover, Old Trafford has been a fortress of late, as Manchester United have won each of their last seven European fixtures held at this venue, returning an intimidating +22 goal difference from those victories (GF: 24, GA: 2).

Meanwhile, the visitors have won two of their opening four group stage fixtures, losing the other two, with three of those four results (wins/losses) coming by a narrow one-goal margin. Also, three matches during that four-game sequence saw the victor get on the scoresheet first. Despite a stuttering start, PSG must be confident of avoiding defeat here, especially considering they have lost just one of their last seven away games in the Champions League group stage (W4, D2). Remarkably, Thomas Tuchel’s men have failed to find the net only once in their 39 previous Champions League outings, scoring an average of 2.4 goals per game during that run. In turn, ‘Les Parisiens’ have netted over 1.5 goals in six of their last seven competitive away fixtures (W5, L2).

Liverpool vs Ajax 02/12/20

Anfield is the venue as Liverpool and Ajax battle it out for a top place in the UEFA Champions League Group D.

Liverpool’s 100% Champions League start was brought to a halt on Matchday 4, as Atalanta picked up a comfortable 2-0 win at Anfield. Before that loss, the ‘Reds’ had gone unbeaten in eight consecutive matches in the Champions League group stage (W7, D1), winning each of their opening three this season without conceding. Liverpool’s Champions League action usually sparks into life after the half-time break, as evidenced by the fact that seven of their ten goals scored/conceded in the competition this term arrived in the second half of play. Although the H2H stakes between these adversaries are perfectly split (W1, D1, L1), the Merseyside giants can take some confidence from the fact they have avoided defeat in each of their last 14 European matches against Dutch clubs (W9, D5).

Meanwhile, the visitors have overseen an upturn in their European form of late, going from two straight Champions League group stage games without a win (D1, L1) to back-to-back triumphs, both of which came against Midtjylland. Unbeaten in their last five Champions League trips to England (W4, D1), Ajax will be looking to turn the tables on Liverpool after a 1-0 home loss on Matchday 1. Furthermore, the ‘Lancers’ boast an intimidating 11-game unbeaten run away from home in the Champions League (W7, D4), scoring over 1.5 goals in each of their last five trips in this competition. Curiously, each of their four away Champions League goals scored this season arrived in the first half of play.

Juventus vs Dynamo Kyiv 03/12/20

Rocked by a 1-1 Serie A draw with Benevento at the weekend, Juventus will be looking to return to winning ways when they meet out-of-sorts Dynamo Kyiv at the Allianz Stadium in the UEFA Champions League.

A 2-0 away win in the reverse fixture on Matchday 1 did help Juventus keep an unbeaten record against Ukrainian clubs in the Champions League (W5, D2). Also, three victories in their opening four group stage outings (L1) proved enough for the ‘Bianconeri’ to seal their place in the knock-out phase with two games to spare. Notably, a 2-0 defeat to Barcelona on Matchday 2 has been only Juve’s second defeat in their last 26 home matches in the Champions League group stage (W16, D8, L2). Apart from that loss, Andrea Pirlo’s men have netted 2+ match goals in each of their other three fixtures in Group G, scoring over 1.5 second-half goals in two. Curiously, four of Juventus’ last seven Champions League home matches have yielded the same 2-1 scoreline (W5, L2).

Meanwhile, a 4-0 thumping to Barcelona on Matchday 4 means the visitors have won just one of their last 12 Champions League matches (D4, L7) and none in this season’s group stage (D1, L3). Dynamo Kyiv’s defensive woes have been brutally exposed in the Champions League so far, as they have conceded over 1.5 goals in each of their opening four group stage matches. Particularly vulnerable after the half-time break, Mircea Lucescu’s men have registered the vast majority (90%) of their total Champions League goals conceded this term in the second half of play (9/10). It will be a daunting prospect for the Ukrainian side to pick up some points here, given that they have won just one of their last 12 trips to Italy in major European competitions (D5, L6).

Ferencvaros vs Barcelona 03/12/20

Barcelona head to the Puskás Aréna to take on Ferencvaros, looking to maintain a 100% start to their UEFA Champions League campaign.

Although a 5-1 hammering to Barcelona in the reverse fixture inflicted a fourth defeat on Ferencvaros in their last six European games versus La Liga opponents (D2), the hosts have never lost to such rivals at home in any major European competition (W5, D2). Unsurprisingly, the Hungarians have lost three of their opening four matches in the Champions League group stage this term (D1), bringing their winless run in the competition to nine (D3, L6). Also, Ferencvaros’ leaky backline has conceded a tournament second-high 13 goals this season, letting in over 1.5 goals in all four Champions League outings so far. But, Serhiy Rebrov’s side must be confident of scoring at least once here after finding the back of the net in nine of their ten Champions League games.

As for the visitors, they have already qualified for the Champions League knock-out stage after winning all four of their group stage matches. The Catalan heavyweights have scored a total of 13 goals in four group stage games so far, bagging at least two in each. Curiously, Ronald Koeman’s men have found the net beyond the 88-minute mark in three of those four fixtures. Barcelona will be looking to win each of their opening five matches in the Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2002-03 campaign, encouraged by the fact that they have won their last five European clashes against Hungarian opponents. But, the Camp Nou side have accrued a win, draw, and loss in their three previous away games in all competitions, failing to score in the first half on each occasion.

Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich 02/12/20

Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich will lock horns at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in a massive, heavyweight UEFA Champions League showdown.

A lackluster European start has seen Atletico Madrid pick up just one victory in their opening four Champions League games (D2, L1), scoring under 1.5 goals on three of those occasions. Although ‘Los Colchoneros’ have won just two of their last seven Champions League matches against Bayern Munich (D1, L4), both of those triumphs came at home via the same 1-0 scoreline. Furthermore, they have suffered just one defeat in their last 24 Champions League home fixtures (W18, D5) and have yet to lose at home against the competition’s reigning champions (W3, D1). Additionally, Diego Simeone’s men have won five of their seven competitive home outings this season (D2), keeping a clean sheet in all but two of those games.

In the meantime, the visitors have already qualified for the Champions League knock-out stage after winning each of their opening four group stage matches. Indeed, Bayern Munich head into this encounter on a competition record winning streak of 15 games during which they scored an average of 3.86 goals per fixture, mustering a total of 58! What’s more, Hansi Flick’s men have won each of their last six Champions League matches on the road by an aggregate score of 27-7. However, the ‘Bavarians’ have managed just one victory in their last seven Champions League trips to Spain (D1, L5), though scoring over 1.5 goals in both of their previous visits to the country. It’s also worth mentioning that Bayern have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three group stage outings, facing a total of 28 shots on target in Group A so far.

Borussia Dortmund vs Lazio 03/12/20

Signal Iduna Park is the venue as Borussia Dortmund and Lazio battle it out for a top spot in the UEFA Champions League Group F.

The hosts have secured three consecutive multi-goal wins ‘to nil’ in the Champions League group stage since succumbing to a 3-1 defeat to Lazio on Matchday 1. A loss in Italy means all three of their previous European meetings have seen the home side win (W1, L2). ‘Die Borussen’ have racked up a five-game winning home streak in the Champions League and are unbeaten in their last eight home matches in the competition’s group stage (W6, D2). Interestingly, none of Dortmund’s seven competitive home fixtures this season has ended in a draw (W5, L2), with each of their five wins in that sequence yielding a clean sheet and producing a winning margin of at least two goals. Also, five of Dortmund’s last six goals scored in the Champions League arrived in the first half of play.

Meanwhile, the visitors have yet to lose in the Champions League group stage this season (W2, D2). Curiously, both draws across that four-game sequence came by the 1-1 score, while each victory yielded the same 3-1 scoreline. Quick out of the blocks, Simone Inzaghi’s men have registered 62.5% (5) of their eight goals scored in Group F in the opening 25 minutes of play. However, the ‘Biancocelesti’ have picked up just one triumph in their last seven European trips to Germany, qualifying included (D2, L4). Moreover, they have recorded only one win in their 14 previous away matches in the Champions League (D4, L9), going winless in the last seven (D3, L4). Lazio can take some confidence from the fact they have avoided defeat in each of their four previous competitive away games (W2, D2).

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Internazionale 2/12/20

Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to avoid defeat against Internazionale at Borussia-Park that will ensure they qualify for the UEFA Champions League knock-out stage.

After being held to back-to-back draws to Inter Milan and Real Madrid, Borussia Monchengladbach swept aside Shakhtar Donetsk in both of their group stage encounters, winning 6-0 away and 4-0 at home, to secure a top place in Group B. Indeed, each of Monchengladbach’s opening four Champions League fixtures has featured over 3.5 total goals. Those four games yielded a total of 18 goals, on an average of 4.5 per match, with three of them featuring over 1.5 second-half goals. Notably, the ‘Foals’ have gone unbeaten in four UEFA clashes against Inter Milan (W1, D3) since losing 4-2 in their first-ever meeting in European competition. Interestingly, they have drawn each of their last four European games against Serie A opponents, two of which ended goalless.

Meanwhile, a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid on Matchday 4 means the visitors are the only team in Group B yet to taste victory this term (D2, L2). Inter’s chances of qualifying for the knock-out stage are slim, as they enter this encounter trailing second-placed Real by five points. Antonio Conte’s men have drawn a blank in two of their four group stage matches this season, with three of their four goals scored in the other two games coming in the second half of play. Also, the ‘Nerazzurri’ have failed to win any of their last four away European games against Bundesliga clubs (D1, L3) and have won just one of their previous four matches in the Champions League group stage (D1, L3). But, they have never suffered three consecutive defeats in the Champions League group stage.

Southampton vs Manchester United 29/11/20

Manchester United will be looking to extend their unbeaten Premier League run against Southampton to nine matches (W3, D5) when the two sides meet at St. Mary’s Stadium.

The hosts have become a force to be reckoned with after a slow start to the season, going from back-to-back league defeats to seven consecutive matches without a loss (W5, D2). Indeed, the ‘Saints’ have won each of their last three home Premier League games by the same 2-0 scoreline, picking up a first-half lead on each occasion. Also, quick-fire Southampton have scored the opening goal in seven of their nine top-flight fixtures this term! But, it’s worth noting that 61.54% (8) of Southampton’s 13 Premier League goals conceded this term arrived in two matches against the big-six (5-2 loss to Tottenham & 3-3 draw with Chelsea). Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have proved to be quite vulnerable after the half-time break, as four of their five home league goals conceded came in the second half of play.

Meanwhile, the visitors have started picking up momentum, as they’ve won each of their last three competitive matches, including two in the Premier League. But, goals have been at a premium for United of late, as evidenced by the fact they’ve scored over 1.5 goals in just one of their four previous league outings, drawing a blank in two of the other three. By contrast, the ‘Red Devils’ have netted over 2.5 goals in each of their opening three Premier League trips, coming from behind to win all of them! Also, each of those games saw both teams score in the first half. Manchester United must be confident of maintaining their unbeaten away league start, considering they have avoided defeat in each of their last nine top-flight trips to Southampton (W5, D4).

Napoli vs Roma 30/11/20

Napoli and Roma go head-to-head at the Stadio San Paolo in a potentially high-scoring Serie A affair. Each of their last five top-flight H2Hs has seen both teams on the scoresheet, with four producing over 2.5 goals.

After a promising home start that had seen them win both of their opening Serie A home matches by at least three-goal margins, the hosts have suffered back-to-back defeats, conceding over 1.5 goals in each. It’s worth noting that each result (win/loss) across that four-game sequence saw the victor get on the scoresheet first. Also, Gennaro Gattuso’s men have been struggling defensively in the second half, as evidenced by the fact the vast majority (83.33%) of their total home Serie A goals conceded this term arrived in the second half of play (5/6). Yet, ‘I Partenopei’ are one of four sides to smash a 10-goal barrier at home, having bagged 11 Serie A goals at the San Paolo. Napoli will be looking to build on that when they take on a team they’ve scored over 1.5 goals against in two of their last three top-flight H2Hs held at this venue (W1, D1, L1).

Meanwhile, the visitors have yet to lose at the playground this season (W5, D2), as a 3-0 defeat to Hellas Verona came as a result of a clerical error. Indeed, ‘I Giallorossi’ have won each of their last three Serie A fixtures via at least two-goal margins, scoring a first-half opener on each occasion. Additionally, Paulo Fonseca’s men have netted an average of 2.33 goals across their three previous league trips, scoring over 1.5 goals beyond the 60-minute mark in each of the last two. Roma must be confident of getting on the scoresheet here, after finding the net in each of their last four top-flight trips to Napoli and in each of their last five competitive away games.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur 30/11/20

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge in an all-London Premier League match-up, as the two sides battle it out for a top place in the standings.

The hosts have enjoyed an upturn in results of late, going from back-to-back league draws to three successive victories, all of which came by at least two-goal margins. Indeed, Frank Lampard’s men have often tried to win with dignity, scoring an average of 3.2 goals per Premier League triumph this term. Additionally, the ‘Blues’ have netted a league-high 22 goals, scoring over 2.5 goals per game in each of their last three home Premier League fixtures (W3, D2). Chelsea’s attacking set-up usually sparks into life after the half-time break, as evidenced by the fact 68.18% (15) of their 22 league goals scored so far arrived in the second half of play. Given Tottenham’s footballing stature, it may come as some surprise that Chelsea have lost just one of their 21 top-flight H2Hs as hosts this millennium (W14, D6, L1)!

Meanwhile, the visitors have put together four consecutive Premier League triumphs, three of which came by a one-goal margin, with the deciding goal in each such win arriving no earlier than the 70-minute mark. Notably, though, the ‘Spurs’ boast a perfect away league record (W4), returning an intimidating +10 goal difference from those trips (GF: 13, GA: 3). Jose Mourinho’s men were quite deadly in the later stages in that sequence, finding the net at least once beyond the 70th minute in each of those four trips. At the other end of the pitch, Tottenham have registered a clear majority (77.78%) of their total Premier League goals conceded in the second half of play (7/9), though just one of them arrived away from home.

AC Milan vs Fiorentina 29/11/20

AC Milan will be looking to maintain an unbeaten start to their Serie A campaign when they take on Fiorentina at the Stadio San Siro this weekend.

It’s been a hell of a start to the season for AC Milan, who enter this round topping the Serie A table as one of three sides yet to taste defeat (W6, D2). But, the hosts have gone from back-to-back home league victories to two consecutive draws despite scoring over 1.5 goals in each encounter. First-half performances have been an issue, as the ‘Rossoneri’ were leading at half-time in just one of their opening four home Serie A fixtures (HT: W1, D2, L1). Indeed, far more aggressive after the break, Stefano Pioli’s men have scored a league joint-high seven second-half goals at home, finding the net at least once beyond the 75th minute in each of their last three home outings.

In the meantime, Fiorentina take the field after failing to pick up the three points in any of their last three Serie A matches (D1, L2), drawing a blank on each occasion. Furthermore, the visitors have yet to win away from home this season (D2, L2), conceding over 1.5 goals in three of their four Serie A trips so far. It’s, however, worth noting that ‘La Viola’ conceded the opening goal (if any) just once across that four-game sequence. Indeed, they were trailing at half-time only once in that time (HT: W1, D2, L1). Fiorentina can also take some courage from the fact they have won both of their previous away top-flight H2Hs after losing three such contests in a row prior to that run.

Valencia vs Atletico Madrid 28/11/20

Estadio de Mestalla is the venue as Valencia and Atletico Madrid go head-to-head in an exciting La Liga contest.

The hosts have overseen a slight upturn in form recently, going from three La Liga defeats in a row to three consecutive games without a loss (W1, D2). High-scoring has been a theme for Valencia of late, as each of their last five league matches has seen over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet. But, ‘Los Murciélagos’ have been hard to beat at home this season, suffering just one defeat in their opening five La Liga games at the Estadio de Mestalla (W2, D2). Far more comfortable at home, Javi Garcia’s men have registered a clear majority (64.71%) of their total league goals scored on the home ground. Valencia have, however, failed to beat Atletico Madrid in any of their five previous top-flight H2Hs held at this venue, drawing the last three (L2).

On the other hand, the visitors have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with this season, as they enter this encounter looking to maintain an unbeaten league start (W6, D2). Notably, ‘Los Colchoneros’ have won each of their last five La Liga matches, four via at least a two-goal margin. Although Diego Simeone’s men have scored a league second-high 18 goals, only 27.78% (5) of them came away from home. At the other end of the pitch, they have shipped a league-low two goals, one of which arrived on the road. Having that said, it’s not strange that Atletico Madrid remain the only team yet to concede the opening goal this season. Such a trend may continue here, considering they have avoided conceding first in each of their last five La Liga trips to Valencia.

Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt 28/11/20

In-form Union Berlin welcome out-of-sorts Eintracht Frankfurt to the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, looking to post four consecutive Bundesliga wins for the first time in the club’s history.

A 3-1 home defeat to Augsburg on Matchday 1 has been Union Berlin’s lone Bundesliga failure this season (W4, D3), as the host enter this clash in the midst of a purple patch. Indeed, a notable upturn in form has witnessed ‘Die Eisernen’ go from back-to-back league draws to three consecutive victories, all of which saw them score over 1.5 goals per game. Also, Stadion An der Alten Försterei has been a venue of entertainment this season, as three of Union’s four Bundesliga matches held here featured over 3.5 total goals. It may come as some surprise, but just two teams have scored more first-half home goals than Union Berlin (5) so far. It’s, however, worth noting that they’ve lost each of their last three competitive H2Hs as hosts, conceding precisely four goals per match on two of those occasions.

As for the visitors, they take the field after failing to land the three points in each of their last five Bundesliga outings (D3, L2), failing to keep a clean sheet on each occasion. Despite picking up just one win in their four league trips this season (D2, L1), ‘Die Adler’ have been a fun team to watch on the road, as three of those matches have produced over 3.5 total goals. Far more vulnerable away from home, Adi Hutter’s men have recorded a clear majority (69.23%) of their total Bundesliga goals conceded on the road (9/13). Also, Frankfurt often tend to start slow when they play away from home, as evidenced by the fact they have failed to score inside the first 15 minutes in each of their four league trips so far.

Stuttgart vs. Bayern Munich 28/11/20

Bayern Munich will be looking to post a third consecutive Bundesliga win over Stuttgart when the two sides meet at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

A 3-3 away draw against TSG Hoffenheim last time out gave Stuttgart a fourth consecutive Bundesliga stalemate, which means that take the field unbeaten in seven league matches (W2, D5). However, ‘Die Schwaben’ are one of six sides yet to taste victory at home this season (D3, L1), despite finding the net in each of their four home Bundesliga outings. It will be a daunting prospect to kick-start their home campaign against a Bayern Munich team they’ve lost to in each of their last eight top-flight H2Hs as hosts! Early action is well on the cards, though, as evidenced by the fact that three of their four home league games produced at least one goal inside the opening 15 minutes of play.

Meanwhile, Bayern head into this encounter off the back of a 3-1 Champions League triumph over RB Salzburg that has brought their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 12 games (W11, D1). In the Bundesliga alone, the ‘Bavarians’ have won five of their last six matches (D1), scoring an average of 3.16 goals per fixture across that sequence. Particularly lethal before half-time, the reigning Bundesliga holders have registered a clear majority (70%) of their total away league goals scored so far in the first half of play (7/10). Away from home, Hansi Flick’s men have racked up three consecutive away league victories since succumbing to a 4-1 defeat to Hoffenheim on Matchday 2 despite failing to keep a clean sheet in each of those outings.

Real Madrid vs Deportivo Alaves 29/11/20

Real Madrid entertain Deportivo Alaves at the Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium seeking a fourth consecutive win in their La Liga H2Hs.

Encouraged by a monumental 2-0 away win over Inter Milan in the Champions League midweek, Real Madrid will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga. Indeed, ‘Los Blancos’ have gone from back-to-back league triumphs to two matches without a win (D1, L1) despite breaking the deadlock on each occasion. Curiously, none of Real’s three La Liga home games this season has ended in a draw (W2, L1), with two of those results (win/loss) coming by the same 1-0 scoreline. A stalemate is seemingly unlikely to take place here, as evidenced by the fact ‘Los Merengues’ have won nine of their ten top-flight H2Hs as hosts since 1999 (L1), including the last eight. Remarkably, each of those eight victories came by at least a two-goal margin, with seven seeing Real Madrid score over 2.5 goals.

Meanwhile, an underwhelming start to the season has seen Alaves pick up just two wins in their opening ten La Liga matches (D4, L4), with their last three league outings ending in a draw. The visitors can take some confidence from the fact they’ve gone from two away La Liga defeats in a row to two successive such matches without a loss (W1, D1). But, a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal saw ‘El Glorioso’ score precisely one goal per fixture three times across that four-game sequence. Additionally, Pablo Machin’s men face another challenging task after drawing a blank in each of their last five top-flight trips to the capital. But, if they hit the net here, the ‘Babazorros’ are likely to do it post half-time, as two-thirds of their total league goals scored this term came in the second half of play (6/9).

PSG vs Bordeaux 29/11/20

PSG will be looking to return to winning ways in Ligue 1 when they meet Bordeaux at the Parc des Princes.

After clinching a narrow 1-0 Champions League win over RB Leipzig, PSG will be looking to bounce back from a 3-2 Ligue 1 defeat to Monaco last time out. Before losing to Monaco, ‘Les Parisiens’ had won eight league matches in succession, conceding just once during that run. Notably, six triumphs during that winning run came by at least a three-goal margin, with four seeing PSG get on the scoresheet within 11 minutes of play. PSG enter this encounter odds-on favorites to pick up the victory that would be their fifth consecutive over Bordeaux at home in Ligue 1. Quick out of the blocks, Thomas Tuchel’s men have netted a league-high 12 first-half goals, which also beats Bordeaux’s tally of ten Ligue 1 goals scored for the season.

Meanwhile, a narrow 1-0 win over Rennes on the road last time out did bring Bordeaux’s three-game losing away streak to an end, though the visitors’ struggling for goals continues. Indeed, ‘Les Girondins’ have now netted under 1.5 goals in each of their last four Ligue 1 trips, failing to score in the first half on three of those occasions. But, Jean-Louis Gasset’s men have found the net beyond the 75th minute in two of their five away league matches while keeping a clean sheet in that same timeframe. Early action was, however, at a premium across that five-game sequence, with just one goal coming within the opening 15 minutes of play. Yet, this could be a high-scoring affair, considering that two of their last three top-flight H2Hs held at this venue have seen over 6.5 goals and both teams score at least twice.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool 28/11/20

Amex Stadium is the venue as Brighton & Hove Albion take on Liverpool in a potentially high-scoring Premier League affair. Both of their last season’s top-flight H2Hs saw over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet.

A tight 2-1 away win over Aston Villa last time out gave Bright a first Premier League victory after six matches (D3, L3), though it also means they have now failed to keep a blank sheet in seven of their opening nine league games. The ‘Seagulls’ enter this round as one of three sides yet to taste win at home this season, having gone from back-to-back home losses to two consecutive draws. Curiously, though, Graham Potters’ men have scored the opening goal (if any) in two of their four Premier League home fixtures this term. But, a lackadaisical second-half defending is accountable to the fact that a clear majority (71.43%) of their total home league goals conceded so far arrived after the half-time break (5/7).

Although Atalanta stunned injury-hit Liverpool 2-0 in the Champions League midweek, the hosts take the field take the field on a five-game unbeaten Premier League run (W3, D2). However, Jurgen Klopp’s men have gone winless in three league trips in a row (D2, L1) since beating Chelsea 2-0 on Matchday 2. It may come as some surprise, but the reigning Premier League holders have conceded a league second-high ten away goals, seven of which arrived in a shock 7-2 loss to Aston Villa. Also, before defeating Leicester 3-0 at home last time out, the ‘Reds’ had failed to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive league outings, conceding at least once before half-time on each occasion. But, Liverpool must be confident of winning after outscoring Brighton in each of their six top-flight H2Hs this millennium.

Everton vs. Leeds United 29/11/20

Everton will be looking to extend their unbeaten Premier League run against Leeds United to six matches (W3, D2) when the two teams meet at Goodison Park.

A hard-fought 3-2 away win over newly-promoted Fulham last time out did bring Everton’s three-game losing run in the Premier League to a halt. Despite a patchy form, Carlo Ancelotti’s men have been one of the most exciting teams to watch this term, as seven of their last eight league matches have seen over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet. Additionally, each of their four Premier League fixtures held at Goodison this season has featured over 3.5 goals, with both sides hitting the net. Interestingly, three of those four games yielded the same 2-1 half-time score (HT: W2, D1, L1), with the winner on the day coming from behind to seal the win twice in that sequence. Although the ‘Toffees’ have avoided defeat in each of their four top-flight H2Hs as hosts this millennium (W2, D2), it’s worth noting that their last such encounter came in 2003.

Meanwhile, 25 shots proved insufficient for Leeds to overcome a 10-men Arsenal side last time out (0-0 draw), as they head into this clash winless in three Premier League fixtures (D1, L2). But, none of Leeds’ four away league matches this season has ended in a draw (W2, L2), three of which produced over 2.5 total goals and saw the victor get on the scoresheet first. The ‘Whites’ will be desperate to improve their lackluster first-half defending that has seen a clear majority (75%) of their total away league goals conceded arrive before the half-time whistle (6/8). It will be a daunting prospect for Leeds to hit the net, at least considering they’ve failed to score in each of their last three Premier League trips to Goodison.

Barcelona vs Osasuna 29/11/20

Barcelona will be looking to bring a two-game winless La Liga streak against Osasuna to an end (D1, L1) when the two sides lock horns at Camp Nou this weekend.

A 4-0 hammering of Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League aside, the hosts have endured a torrid domestic campaign, winning just three of their opening eight La Liga matches (D2, L3). Furthermore, each of their three league defeats arrived in their last five games (W1, D1), two of which came by the same 1-0 scoreline. Ronald Koeman’s men can take some confidence from the fact they’ve registered a clear majority (73.33%) of their total La Liga goals scored so far at home (11/15). In turn, the Catalan heavyweights have netted an intimidating average of 4.57 goals across their last seven top-flight H2Hs held at Camp Nou. But, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their previous five competitive home fixtures, which has been the case in three of their last four league H2Hs held at this venue.

Meanwhile, the visitors head into this encounter after failing to pick up a win in three consecutive La Liga outings (D1, L2), all of which featured under 1.5 first-half goals and saw Osasuna concede first. Low scoring has been a theme for ‘Los Rojillos’ on the road this season, as each of their four away league matches contained under 2.5 total goals. It’s also worth noting that Jagoba Arrasate’s men have failed to get on the scoresheet in three La Liga road trips in a row following a 2-0 win over newly-promoted Cadiz on Matchday 1 (D1, L2). Slow-starting visitors have scored inside the opening 15 minutes of play in just one of their nine La Liga matches. Curiously, both of Osasuna’s away league goals conceded so far arrived in the first 15 minutes of the second half.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United 28/11/20

Crystal Palace will be looking to win consecutive home Premier League matches against Newcastle United for the first time in history when the two teams meet at Selhurst Park.

None of Crystal Palace’s last four Premier League fixtures has ended in a draw (W2, L2), with the home side alternating between a win and loss on each occasion. Also, Palace’s top-flight home games this season have been notably tight, as three of four ended separating the sides by under 1.5 goals (W2, D1, L1). Curiously, though, a clear majority (81.82%) of their total home Premier League goals scored/conceded so far arrived in the first half of play (9/11). Indeed, early action has highlighted Palace’s home league matches this season, as three of four produced at least one goal within 15 minutes. But, goals could be at a premium for the ‘Eagles’ here, as evidenced by the fact they’ve scored under 1.5 goals in eight of their nine previous Premier League H2Hs as hosts.

Meanwhile, Newcastle head into this encounter on the back of back-to-back 2-0 defeats to Southampton and Chelsea, both of which saw the ‘Magpies’ concede in both halves and inside the opening ten minutes of play. Additionally, the visitors have been going winless in three consecutive Premier League trips (D2, L1) since beating West Ham 2-0 on Matchday 1. Interestingly, each fixture during that four-game sequence produced precisely two goals at full-time and at least one beyond the 75-minute mark. In fact, three of Newcastle’s four Premier League goals scored on the road this season came beyond the 85th minute. It’s, however, worth noting that Steve Bruce’s men have failed to score from an open play in each of their last four away league matches.

Sampdoria vs Genoa 27/11/20

Sampdoria and Genoa go head-to-head at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in an all-Genoa Coppa Italia match-up.

Sampdoria overcame lower-league outfit Salernitana 1-0 in the previous round to set up only their second Coppa Italia clash against city rivals this millennium (W1). However, things have gone south for ‘I Blucerchiati’ since that win over Salernitana, as they’ve gone winless in three consecutive matches since that triumph (D1, L2). Furthermore, ‘La Samp’ have picked up just one victory in their four previous H2Hs as hosts (D2, L1), with three of those clashes featuring under 2.5 total goals. Claudio Ranieri’s men have been struggling in front of goal lately, netting under 1.5 goals in each of their last four competitive outings. Still, the hosts must be confident of scoring here after finding the net in all but one of their 15 competitive home matches this calendar year, including the last 13.

Meanwhile, Genoa began their Coppa Italia journey with a 2-1 home win over Serie C side Catanzaro but have not tasted victory since then (D1, L3). A genuine lack of firepower up front has seen the ‘Il Grifone’ draw a blank in four of their last seven matches against top-flight adversaries and score precisely once per game in the other three! Away from home, Ronaldo Maran’s men have yet to win this season (D2, L2), failing to find the back of the net in three of their four competitive road trips. Scoring could be an issue here, as evidenced by the fact Genoa have failed to score in two of their last four competitive trips to Sampdoria, though scoring over 1.5 goals in one of the remaining two.

Wolfsburg vs Werder Bremen 28/11/20

Volkswagen Arena is the venue as Wolfsburg look to bring a four-game winless home Bundesliga run against Werder Bremen to a halt (D2, L2).

A comfortable 2-0 away win at Schalke 04 last time out means Wolfsburg enter this round as one of just two Bundesliga teams yet to taste defeat this season (W3, D5). Oliver Glasner has based his side’s success on a rock-solid backline that has conceded a league-low five goals in the opening eight fixtures. But, ‘Die Wolfe’ have failed to impress at the other end of the pitch, netting an average of 1.12 goals per Bundesliga match so far. Notably, though, 88.89% (eight) of their nine league goals scored so far arrived in the first half of play. Indeed, they have yet to find the net after half-time at home, registering each of their four goals scored in such contests in the first half.

Meanwhile, Werder must be kicking themselves to know they have opened the scoring in three of their last four league outings only to drop that lead later on. Indeed, the visitors have gone from back-to-back Bundesliga victories to five consecutive draws, all of which yielded the identical 1-1 scoreline. Interestingly, ‘Die Werderaner’ have conceded precisely once per game in each of their four top-flight trips this season, with three of their four goals shipped arriving in the second half of play. It will be a daunting prospect for Werder to keep a clean sheet here, as they’ve failed to shut out Wolfsburg in each of their last nine Bundesliga H2Hs held at this venue, conceding an average of 2.11 goals across those trips.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Ludogorets 27/11/20

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to move a step closer to sealing a place in the UEFA Europa League knock-out stage when they meet Ludogorets at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Ludogorets in the reverse fixture on Matchday 3 to bounce back from a dismal 1-0 away loss to Antwerp on Matchday 2. Indeed, the ‘Spurs’ have now won both of their only previous meetings with Bulgarian opponents via an aggregate 5-2 score. Also, the Premier League giants boast a win-rate of 60.61% in the Europa League group stage matches since the competition was rebranded in 2009, having won 20 of 33 such contests since then (D8, L5). Also, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has often been a venue of entertainment at this juncture, with each of Tottenham’s last seven home games in the Europa League group stage containing over 2.5 total goals. Curiously, none of their last 16 European home matches has ended level (W11, L5).

On the other hand, the visitors head to London as the only side in Group J yet to pick up any points after the opening three fixtures. Despite a lack of results, Ludogorets have been a fun team to watch, as each game across that three-match sequence saw over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet. A lackadaisical defending is accountable to the fact the Bulgarians have already conceded nine goals in the Europa League this term, four of which came from set-pieces (the competition high). Particularly vulnerable in the earlier stages, they have shipped the opener within 15 minutes in both of their Europa League outings. Additionally, the ‘Eagles’ have lost four of their five historical European clashes against English clubs (D1), conceding an average of 3.2 goals across those meetings.

Sporting Braga vs Leicester City 27/11/20

Leicester City head to the Estádio Municipal de Braga to take on Sporting Braga in an exciting UEFA Europa League clash.

A 4-0 away loss to Leicester City on Matchday 3 did bring Braga’s two-game winning streak in the Europa League to a halt, though it also means that each of their opening three games in the group stage produced over 2.5 total goals. Also, each result (win/loss) across that three-game sequence saw the winner on the day open the scoring in the first half. Interestingly, ‘Os Arcebispos’ have lost three of their last five games in the Europa League (W2) after avoiding defeat in seven consecutive such outings beforehand (W5, D2). Carlos Carvalhal’s men have lost just one of their last seven home matches in the Europa League group stage (W4, D2), scoring an average of 2.66 goals per game they avoided defeat in during that time.

Meanwhile, the visitors have won each of their opening three group stage fixtures, two via at least a two-goal margin, though they go into this encounter on the back of a 3-0 Premier League loss to Liverpool. Quick out of the blocks, Brendan Rodgers’ men have scored five first-half goals in the Europa League this term, which equals Braga’s overall haul for the season. However, the ‘Foxes’ have lost six of their last nine away matches in major European competitions (W2, D1), scoring under 1.5 goals on seven of those occasions. Also, Leicester’s only previous UEFA trip to Portugal yielded a disastrous 5-0 defeat to Porto back in 2016. A high-scoring contest is on the cards, though, as five of six competitive trips this term produced over 2.5 total goals (W5, L1).

Sparta Praha vs Celtic 27/11/20

Sparta Praha welcome Celtic to the Generali Arena, seeking the three points that would keep them in contention for the top two places in Group H of the UEFA Europa League.

Sparta Praha picked up a shock 4-1 at Celtic Park last time out to kick-start their group stage campaign after suffering two defeats in a row. Curiously, each result (win/loss) across that three-game sequence came by a three-goal margin and saw the victor win the first half ‘to nil.’ That victory in the reverse fixture, however, represents only Sparta’s second triumph in their last 12 European matches (D2, L8), qualifying included. Their home games in that same run of fixtures were notably tight, as four of five ended separating the sides by under 1.5 goals. However, the Czech giants lament a disastrous European record against English clubs this millennium, having lost 11 of 16 such contests since the turn of the 21st century (W1, D4).

Meanwhile, nailed to the bottom of the section after a dismal Europa League start, Celtic take the field looking to post their first win in Group H (D1, L2). Despite a slow start, the ‘Bhoys’ have been a fun team to watch, as each of their opening three group stage fixtures saw over 3.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet at full-time. Also, each game in that sequence yielded the identical 2-0 half-time scoreline (HT: W1, L2). Notably, Neil Lennon’s men have found the net in 26 of their last 27 matches in the Europa League group stage! It’s worthing noting that the ‘Hoops’ have lost both of their previous European clashes against Czech Republic clubs after avoiding defeat in three consecutive such meetings beforehand (W2, D1).

Molde vs Arsenal 27/11/20

Arsenal will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record against Norwegian clubs (W4, D1) when they meet Molde at the Aker Stadion in the UEFA Europa League.

Before suffering a 4-1 loss to Arsenal in the reverse fixture, Molde had enjoyed a 100% start to their Europa League group stage campaign. Indeed, they had beaten both Dundalk and Rapid Vienna by single-goal margins, with the winning goal in each coming no earlier than the 65th minute. In fact, two-thirds of Molde’s Europa League goals scored/conceded this season arrived in the second half of play (6/9). Despite enduring mixed fortunes in their seven home matches in the Europa League group stage (W3, D1, L3), the Norwegians must be confident of getting on the scoresheet, as they’ve failed to score in just one of their seven such contests so far. Notably, Molde have suffered only one defeat in their last 18 European home matches (W12, D6), qualifying included.

Meanwhile, the visitors have hit the ground running in Group B as they head into this encounter looking to extend a perfect three-game winning Europa League start. Each of Arsenal’s wins in that same run of fixtures witnessed the ‘Gunners’ score over 1.5 goals in one half, with two seeing them keep a clean sheet in the first 45 minutes of play. Mikel Arteta’s men have been scoring practically at will in Europe lately, finding the net in 19 consecutive such outings and netting a total of 43 in that time. Remarkably, the London giants have suffered just one loss in their last 14 away matches in the group stages of European competitions (W10, D3), with that lone defeat coming in 2017.

Lille vs AC MilanVEB 27/11/20

Arena is the venue as CSKA Moscow hope to kick-start their UEFA Europa League campaign against an unpredictable Feyenoord side.

A 3-1 defeat to Feyenoord in the reverse fixture gave CSKA a sizeable headache as they head into this clash winless in their opening three Europa League group stage matches (D2, L1). Since the beginning of last season, the Russian heavyweights have won just one of their nine games in this competition’s group stage (D4, L4), scoring under 1.5 goals on each occasion! This season alone, Viktor Goncharenko’s men failed to get on the scoresheet before half-time in two of their three Europa League outings, both of which yielded a goalless HT score. Another potential issue for CSKA could be a disappointing home form that has seen them fail to win any of their last six home fixtures in major European competitions (D2, L4).

On the other hand, the visitors have accrued a win, draw, and loss from their opening three group stage matches, with the last two seeing over 3.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet. Interestingly, a victory over CSKA on Matchday 3 has been only Feyenoord’s second triumph in their last nine games in the Europa League group stage (D3, L4). Furthermore, ‘De club aan de Maas’ had lost four consecutive away fixtures in the Europa League group stage before being held to a goalless road draw to Dinamo Zagreb on Matchday 1. A lack of firepower up front saw Feyenoord draw a blank four times during that five-game sequence! Yet, they have won two of their four previous meetings with CSKA (D1, L1) despite scoring precisely once per game on three of those occasions.

AC Milan head to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy looking to take revenge on Lille for a dismal home defeat, as the two sides battle it out for a top place in the UEFA Europa League Group H.

Lille thumped Milan 3-0 in the reverse fixture to maintain their unbeaten group stage start (W2, D1), as they take the field sitting top of Group H, one point clear of the Italians. The hosts have now avoided defeat in all of their three historical European H2Hs (W2, D1), keeping a clean sheet on each occasion. Lille’s attacking set-up usually sparks into life after half-time, as evidenced by the fact that they have netted over 1.5 second-half goals in each of their opening three group stage matches. However, in major European competitions, ‘Les Dogues’ are without a win in 14 consecutive home games (D7, L7), qualifying excluded. Indeed, their last such victory dates back to 2010!

Meanwhile, Milan will be keen to turn the tables on Rennes after suffering the heaviest European defeat at home last time out. But, another failure would see the ‘Rossoneri’ lose back-to-back group stage matches in major European competition for the first time since 2006! Before drawing a blank against Lille, Milan scored precisely three goals per game in each of their two group stage wins over Celtic and Sparta Praha. Interestingly, the visitors have won each of their four competitive away matches this season despite failing to keep a clean sheet in that run. Additionally, quick-fire Milan found the opening goal within 20 minutes in every fixture during that same four-game sequence.

VEB Arena is the venue as CSKA Moscow hope to kick-start their UEFA Europa League campaign against an unpredictable Feyenoord side.

A 3-1 defeat to Feyenoord in the reverse fixture gave CSKA a sizeable headache as they head into this clash winless in their opening three Europa League group stage matches (D2, L1). Since the beginning of last season, the Russian heavyweights have won just one of their nine games in this competition’s group stage (D4, L4), scoring under 1.5 goals on each occasion!

On the other hand, the visitors have accrued a win, draw, and loss from their opening three group stage matches, with the last two seeing over 3.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet.

Atletico Madrid vs Lokomotiv Moscow 26/11/20

Atletico Madrid will be looking to maintain an unbeaten European record against Lokomotiv Moscow (W4, D2) when the two sides meet at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in the UEFA Champions League.

The hosts have accrued a win, draw, and loss from their opening three group stage fixtures, all of which featured precisely two first-half goals, with the last two yielding the same 1-1 HT score. But, Atletico Madrid will be confident of securing three points here, as they’ve won each of their four previous European clashes against Russian clubs as hosts, keeping a clean sheet in the last two such successes. What’s more, ‘Los Colchoneros’ have gone unbeaten in ten European meetings with Russian sides (W8, D2) since losing 2-0 to Rubin Kazan in 2013. Things get better for the Spanish powerhouse, considering they’ve suffered just one defeat in their last 23 home Champions League matches (W18, D4), going unbeaten in 11 (W9, D2) since Chelsea triumphed in Madrid in 2017.

As for the visitors, they have yet to taste victory in the Champions League this season (D2, L1), with each of their three group stage outings seeing both teams score. A trip to Spain could erase more painful memories, as Lokomotiv have never beaten La Liga clubs on the road, suffering seven defeats in their previous eight visits to the country (D1). Additionally, Marko Nikolic’s men have preserved a clean sheet in just one of their last 20 away matches in the Champions League, conceding a total of 36 goals across those road trips. In turn, they have let in over 1.5 goals in each of their last three competitive away matches, conceding an average of 3.00 goals across those fixtures.

Bayern Munich vs RB Salzburg 26/11/20

Bayern Munich will be looking to extend their record winning streak in the UEFA Champions League when they meet RB Salzburg at the Allianz Arena.

A stunning 6-2 win against Salzburg in the reverse fixture means the hosts have won each of their opening three matches in the Champions League group stage and each of their last 14 in the competition! Remarkably, 12 of Bayern’s victories during that 14-game sequence came by at least a two-goal margin, with the ‘Bavarians’ netting a total of 55 goals on an intimidating average of 3.92 goals scored per win. This season alone, Hansi Flick’s men have found the net in all six halves of Champions League action played, scoring over 1.5 goals in four of them. Interestingly, after losing to Rapid Wien in 1967, the reigning Bundesliga champions have gone unbeaten in eight European clashes against Austrian clubs (W6, D2).

Meanwhile, despite failing to win any of their opening three fixtures in the Champions League group stage (D1, L2), the visitors have been a fun team to watch. Indeed, each game during that run of games saw both teams get on the scoresheet in both halves. Salzburg’s three matches in the Champions League this season have yielded the competition-high 17 goals combined, though their 11 goals conceded represents the competition joint-high. Also, four of their five previous competitive games have produced over 3.5 total goals! Although they have won two of their last three European trips to Germany (L1), the Austrian giants will be looking to avoid defeat when facing reigning Champions League title-holders for the first time at the sixth attempt!

Liverpool vs Atalanta 26/11/20

An injury-hit Liverpool side welcome Atalanta to Anfield looking to pick up three points that would propel them to the UEFA Champions League knock-out stage.

Liverpool dismantled Atalanta 5-0 in the reverse fixture to win each of their opening three Champions League group stage matches ‘to nil.’ They are now looking to post four consecutive triumphs in the competition for the first time since 2000. Notably, the ‘Reds’ have won eight of their ten home games in the Champions League group stage under Jurgen Klopp (D2)! Also, Liverpool last lost at home in the Champions League in October 2014 (90 minutes only), avoiding defeat in 27 such outings since then (W20, D7). Furthermore, the reigning Premier League champions boast a four-match winning run at home in all competitions, while they scored over 1.5 goals in each success in that sequence. Curiously, last season’s 1-1 draw with Napoli at Anfield is Liverpool’s only stalemate with Italian visitors in 13 home European matches (W8, L4).

Meanwhile, the visitors have accrued a win, draw, and loss from their opening three group stage games, all of which produced over 1.5 first-half goals and more than 3.5 in total. A 4-0 away victory over Midtjylland on Matchday 1 means ‘La Dea’ have won each of their last three road clashes in the Champions League, scoring 2+ match goals in each. In fact, before drawing a blank against Liverpool last time out, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men had found the net in ten consecutive Champions League outings, managing an average of 2.3 goals scored per match! But, Atalanta may want to take care of their lackadaisical first-half defending that saw them concede precisely twice before half-time in two of those three fixtures.
