Peñarol vs City Torque
Peñarol are the Copa Uruguay holders, and they host Montevideo City Torque in a last-16 tie. The winner then travels to Libertad de San Carlos. In the Clausura, Torque sit third on 22 points and Peñarol fourth on 20, after a point was taken off them for incidents against Nacional. Both lost on 17 October. Peñarol went down 1-0 to Liverpool and Torque lost 2-1 at Albion, a week after Torque had beaten Danubio 1-0. Peñarol won the Intermedio final 5-1 against Wanderers in August. They have already met three times this year. Peñarol won 3-1 in the Apertura and 1-0 in the cup group stage on 26 August, when Eric Remedi scored in the 73rd minute even though Torque had the better of the game. The delayed Clausura fixture ended 1-1. Remedi is the one to follow, given he decided the last cup meeting. Our prediction: 1-0
Pachuca vs Cruz Azul (1 - 2)
Cruz Azul left Estadio Hidalgo with a 2-1 win over Pachuca, settled by a penalty in the closing stages after the home side had pulled level early on. Gabriel Fernandez put the visitors ahead in the 13th minute, finishing a low cross from Alan Mozo. Pachuca were back on terms by the 19th minute through Francisco Venegas, whose shot hit the crossbar on its way in after a through ball from Rodolfo Pizarro. The decider came after a corner, when Fernandez took a blow to the face going for the ball and the referee pointed to the spot. Substitute Andres Montano scored the penalty. Salomon Rondon thought he had made it 2-2 in the 86th minute, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Oussama Idrissi was angry at being substituted and kicked out at the flasks and benches. The result lifts Cruz Azul to third in the overall table, behind America and Chivas. Pachuca are down in 16th with 13 points.
Viktoria Plzen vs Levski Sofia
Viktoria Plzen have played two Europa League games and have no points, sitting 31st equal in the table. Levski Sofia have one, from a 1-1 draw at NEC Nijmegen, and a defeat at home to Salzburg. For the Czech side, Thursday is about stopping a slide before the table gets harder to climb. Plzen lost 2-1 at Ferencvaros last time out and 3-0 at home to Union SG before that, so they have conceded five in two. Domestically they are ninth with 16 points from 11 games, though they did win 3-2 at Jablonec. Levski arrive in better shape, top of the Bulgarian league with 28 points from 10 games, nine of them wins. For the hosts, Mohamed Toure, Prince Kwabena Adu and Matej Vydra are the names to follow in attack. Juan Esteban Perea leads the line for Levski, with Reinaldo Satorno alongside. One preview reports no injuries or suspensions at either club. Bookmakers make Plzen narrow favourites at home. Our prediction: 2-1
Omonia Nicosia vs Benfica
Both sides reach Nicosia with six points from two Europa League league-phase games, so Thursday at the GSP Stadium pits two early overachievers against each other. Omonia beat Celta Vigo 1-0 and then won 3-0 at Celje. Benfica won 2-0 at AC Milan and followed it with a 4-1 home win over Celtic. Omonia have not lost in 15 home matches in all competitions and sit third in the Cypriot league. Winger Ewandro is expected on the right, but Carol Eiting and Fotis Kitsos are injured. Benfica have won 10 of their last 11 games in all competitions under Marco Silva. Jhon Duran scored twice against Celtic, and Alexander Bah has scored in two of his last three games. Daniel Banjaqui, Jakub Kaminski and Enzo Barrenechea are out injured. The clubs have met twice before, both won by Benfica, and Omonia have never scored against them. Our prediction: 1-3
Olympiakos vs Sparta Prague
Olympiacos host Sparta Prague in matchday three of the Europa League, and the table shows how close they are: the Greeks sit 10th, the Czechs 11th. Both want a result that keeps them in the top half early on. Olympiacos arrive after an away win at Marseille, and their defence has conceded one goal or fewer in eight straight European games. Armando González may be back in action, while Sotiris Hezze and Bruno Onyemaechi are among the names on the scoresheet. Injuries bite, though. El Kaabi has a broken leg, and Fortounis and Yazıcı are also out. A league game two days later makes rotation likely. Sparta drew at home with Lillestrom last time out and need something on the road. Karabec and Ryneš are missing with ankle problems, and Alcócer is doubtful. Markus Solbakken is not mentioned in the previews, so the dangerous names are Jurásek, who has two assists, and Guddal, who has two goals. Our prediction: 2-1
Lillestrøm vs Real Sociedad
Lillestrøm host Real Sociedad at Åråsen on Thursday night (19:00 CET) with both clubs near the bottom of the Europa League table. One page has the Norwegians 23rd and the Spaniards 22nd, so a result matters early. The hosts have won two of their last ten, and one report mentions a 0-4 defeat to LASK Linz. Fredrik Gulbrandsen and Gustav Nyheim have two goals each in four appearances. Defender Garnås and forward Jebara are out, and Alperud is doubtful. Real Sociedad are missing four players: Odriozola, Beitia, Aramburu and Herrera. Mikel Oyarzabal is among the regulars. Both sides play in their league three days later, so rotation is likely. Bookmakers make the Spanish side clear favourites at around 1.45 to 1.50, and Lillestrøm are priced near 6.00. Our prediction: 1-2
Jagiellonia Białystok vs Anderlecht
Jagiellonia host Anderlecht in Bialystok on matchday three of the Europa League league phase, and the Belgians cannot afford another slip. They lost 2-1 to Lyon and 1-0 at Dinamo Zagreb, so they have no points from two games. Jagiellonia have three, after a 3-1 home win over Ararat-Armenia that followed a 2-1 defeat at Olympiacos. Home comfort is their asset in Europe, because the league is a different story. They are 13th in the Ekstraklasa and have lost their last four there. Jesus Imaz is the creative threat up front. Anderlecht are fifth in the Jupiler Pro League on 16 points, with only six goals conceded, and Tawfik Bentayeb has been in good form there. They are short at the back, though. Giulian Biancone and Ilay Camara are out, and Killian Sardella has a muscle problem. The hosts are without Nik Prelec and Norbert Wojtuszek. Our prediction: 1-1
Hoffenheim vs Lyon
Hoffenheim have lost both of their opening Europa League games, 2-0 at OFI and 3-2 at home to Besiktas, and sit 30th of 36 with no points. Lyon have won both of theirs and are eighth on six, so a win in Sinsheim would lift them towards the top of the table. The hosts snapped a run of four straight defeats with a 2-1 win over bottom-placed Borussia Mönchengladbach at the weekend, and Alexander Prass scored and set up a goal in that game. They have not kept a clean sheet in seven matches. Nathan De Cat, Albian Hajdari and Patrick Wimmer are all injured. Lyon have won four of their last five, most recently 2-1 against Nice. Pavel Šulc has scored in each of their last two games. Loïs Openda, Mohamed Ouédraogo and Nicolás Tagliafico are out. The sides have met three times and drawn every time. Our prediction: 1-2
Celtic vs Celta Vigo
Two clubs with nothing from their opening two Europa League games meet at Parkhead, and the one that slips further will have a hard job reaching the knockouts. Celtic lost 4-1 at Benfica and 3-1 to Ferencvaros. Celta Vigo went down 2-1 to Juventus and 1-0 to Omonia. Nine teams in the league phase are still without a point. The hosts arrive after a 7-1 win over Hearts on Sunday and have won five of their seven home matches this season. Camilo Duran has scored in three games in a row. Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston are out, so an unchanged side looks likely. Celta Vigo beat Alaves at the weekend, but they have not won away in five attempts and have scored once in total on those trips. Borja Iglesias and Carl Starfelt are both missing. Defender Yoel Lago has been booked often lately. Our prediction: 2-1
Celje vs Salzburg
Celje are still looking for their first goal in the league phase. They lost to Bayer Leverkusen and Omonia in their opening two games and sit 35th in the table, so a home game against Salzburg is a chance to get off the mark. The visitors are 21st with one win and one defeat, the defeat a 4-0 loss to AC Milan. At home in Austria they have won 3-0 against Altach, and one source has them winning nine of their last ten matches in all competitions. Haris Tabakovic is their main scoring threat. Konate, Aguilar, Omoregie and Veratschnig are expected to miss out through injury. For the hosts, midfielder Mario Kvesic may start after coming off the bench against Omonia. No injury news has been reported for Celje, who average under one goal a game across their last ten matches and failed to score in four of them. Our prediction: 0-2
AFC Bournemouth vs AC Milan
Bournemouth are in Europe for the first time after finishing sixth in the Premier League last season, and they meet seven-time European champions AC Milan at the Vitality on Thursday night with two wins from two in the Europa League. Both sides play in their domestic league three days later, so the squads may be rotated. The hosts, under Marco Rose, beat Real Sociedad 2-1 away and Sturm Graz 3-0 at home, then beat Sunderland 2-0 at the weekend for their first back-to-back wins of the season. That was only their first Premier League win in a while, so the league is still the worry. Evanilson has scored in his last three appearances. Alex Scott and Eli Junior Kroupi are out injured. Milan, managed by Ruben Amorim, won 4-0 at Salzburg and then beat Atalanta 3-2 at home, and they have scored 11 goals in their last four games. Goncalo Ramos has scored in five of his last six appearances. Defender Filippo Terracciano is suspended after his red card in Austria, and Alexis Saelemaekers is expected to miss out. Fikayo Tomori is back in contention. Our prediction: 2-2
Besiktas vs Crystal Palace
Besiktas welcome Crystal Palace to Istanbul on Thursday night in the Europa League, with the hosts sitting fourth in the standings and Palace 15th. It is Palace's third European tie of the season, and Besiktas are keen to make up for missing out on Europe last year. Besiktas have won their last four home European games, including a 4-1 victory over Marseille and a 3-0 win against Kauno Zalgiris. In the Super Lig they have taken four wins from their first six. Over their last 15 matches they have won every game at home. Palace have lost four of their last five in all competitions, with one win and one draw in that run, though they have scored in eight straight Europa League matches. Murillo has three goals and Olaitan five assists for the hosts, while Pino has two goals for the visitors. Nubel has started eight times in goal for Besiktas. None of our sources reported injuries or suspensions. Goals look likely at both ends, since Palace have conceded 27 in their last 15. Our prediction: 2-1
Thun vs Hajduk Split
Thun host Hajduk Split in the second round of league-phase games in the Conference League, and the two clubs arrive in very different shape. The Swiss side lost 1-0 at Twente in their opener. Hajduk beat Ajax 2-1 in theirs, in the club's first appearance at this stage of a major European competition in nearly 16 years. The form gap is wide. Hajduk have won nine of their last ten in all competitions and concede under one goal a game. Thun have won two of their last ten and average just a point a game at home, scoring one goal per match at the Stockhorn Arena. The hosts are thin. Montolio, Seiler and Gutbub are injured and Patrik Kristal is suspended. Hajduk have no listed absentees, and Khalil Fayad is back from a minor knock. Marko Livaja is the name to watch for the visitors. Both sides play league games within three days, so rotation is possible. Our prediction: 0-2
Monaco vs Freiburg
Monaco and Freiburg each have three points after one round of the Conference League, with Monaco ninth and Freiburg seventh. It is Monaco's first season in the competition, and the club wants a top-eight finish in the league phase because of the advantage it brings. Monaco won 2-1 at CSKA Sofia, with goals from Brunner and Fati. They then lost 1-0 at home to Lorient in Ligue 1, conceding a penalty after a foul by Zakaria. Freiburg beat Jablonec 3-2, with Grifo and Eggestein among the scorers. On Sunday they suffered their first defeat of the season, 2-1 at Leverkusen, to a late goal from Schick. We found no injury or suspension news for either side. Bookmakers lean slightly towards the hosts, and one Dutch preview expects two or three goals with both teams scoring. Monaco's Sunday defeat makes this a match to take seriously. Our prediction: 2-2
Midtjylland vs Sint-Truiden
Midtjylland welcome St. Truiden to Herning on Thursday still looking for their first win in this season's Conference League. They drew 1-1 at Egnatia on matchday one, while the Belgians opened with a 2-0 home win over Iberia 1999. The two clubs have never met. Midtjylland have not lost at home since a 2-0 defeat to Beşiktaş in late July, winning six and drawing one since. On Monday they beat Viborg 2-1, with Rasmus Nissen and Philip Billing scoring. Denil Castillo is not expected to be fit after a fibre injury, and Elias Olafsson and Mikel Gogorza are also doubtful. St. Truiden finished third in Belgium last season but have lost three league games in a row and sit 12th after eight rounds. Arbnor Muja is out. They did outshoot Iberia 20-4 in their opener, so the chances come. Our prediction: 2-0
Lincoln Red Imps vs Twente
Lincoln Red Imps and Twente meet in Gibraltar on matchday two of the Conference League league phase, both looking for a second result after mixed openers. Lincoln lost 2-1 at Brann after leading, while Twente beat Thun 1-0. Twente arrive stung by a 2-1 home defeat to Utrecht, which ended a nine-game unbeaten run. They have not kept a clean sheet away from home this season and have conceded at least twice in four of their last five away games. Wout Weghorst and Daouda Weidmann lead the attack, with Weidmann involved in a goal in four of the last five. Lars Unnerstall and Max Bruns are out, so Joel Drommel stays in goal. Lincoln lose Gabri Garcia to suspension after his red card in Norway. Kike Gomez and Manu Toledano have two European goals each this season. Midfielder Nico Clara Pinto says the team fear nobody and expects points. Twente go to AZ after this one. Our prediction: 1-3
Sporting Braga vs Gent
Braga and Gent meet in Portugal on matchday two of the Conference League phase, with both clubs looking at a league game three days later. Rotation is expected on each side. The only previous meetings were two draws in the 2016 Europa League, 1-1 in Braga and 2-2 in Ghent. The form guides point in different directions. Gent have not lost in their last 15 games, winning 10 and drawing five, with 24 goals scored and 10 conceded. Braga have won seven of their last 15, drawn four and lost four, and they have lost three of their last five. Their home record is better than their away one, five wins from seven at the Estadio Municipal. The visitors are without midfielder De Vlieger, who is suspended after a third yellow card. Braga have no reported absentees, though only 64 per cent of their side has stayed the same over the last six matches, against 80 per cent for Gent. Bookmakers make Braga favourites at around 1.85. Our prediction: 1-0
Borac Banja Luka vs KuPS
Borac Banja Luka welcome KuPS to Gradski Stadion in the Conference League league phase, a home game the Bosnian side will want after losing to Panathinaikos. The Finnish champions are here after missing out in Champions League and Europa League qualifying, then beating Shamrock Rovers 2-1 on aggregate in a play-off. Borac lost 2-1 to the Greek side on 15 October, five days after a 2-0 home win over BSK Banja Luka in the domestic league. They look settled, with the same eleven named in two straight matches and 82% of the XI kept across six games. No injury or suspension news turned up. KuPS change more, keeping 64% of their XI over the same run, and they play a Veikkausliiga game three days later, so rotation is likely. Last season they reached the knockout play-off round before losing to Lech Poznan. One model gives Borac a 62% chance of winning, while another puts a draw level with a home win. Our prediction: 1-0
Ajax vs Atalanta
Both clubs arrive in the Conference League needing a response. Ajax lost 2-1 at Hajduk Split on the opening matchday and have no points from the group. Atalanta won their opener against Pafos 3-1, but have struggled since, and their new coach Maurizio Sarri is under pressure. Ajax answered the Split defeat with a 5-2 win at Groningen, after a 2-2 home draw with Excelsior. They have lost only two of their last 16 competitive games, yet they have not kept a clean sheet in seven outings. Julian Brandt has five goals in his last six appearances, and Marc ter Stegen is in goal on a season-long loan from Barcelona. Kasper Dolberg is out after knee surgery, and Caio Henrique, Steven Berghuis and Simon Adingra are also unavailable. Atalanta have lost four of their last five in Serie A, the latest a 3-2 defeat at AC Milan, and have gone six games without a clean sheet. Giacomo Raspadori (thigh) and Franck Kessie (calf) are injured, while Eljif Elmas is back from suspension. The last meeting was a 1-0 Atalanta win in Amsterdam in December 2020. Ajax's last seven meetings with Atalanta have all produced goals at both ends. Our prediction: 2-1
AGF vs Egnatia Rrogozhinë
Aarhus have lost their opening game in the Conference League and sit 29th in the league phase table with no points. Egnatia are 19th with one, so a home game in Randers is a chance for the Danes to get off the mark. Aarhus lost 1-0 at Gent on 15 October. Before that came a run of defeats in Europe over the summer, including 4-0 to Sabah in the Champions League qualifiers and two losses to Benfica in the Europa League. Egnatia drew 1-1 with Midtjylland in their first league phase match. The hosts have a long absentee list. Haugstrup, Kristjánsson, Poulsen, Anderson, Links, Yakob and Camara are all unavailable. Egnatia report no absences. Both clubs play in their league within three days, so rotation is likely, and one match model gives the visitors and the draw 45% each. Our prediction: 1-1
Al Ahli vs Al Khaleej
Al Ahli host Al Khaleej in Jeddah in round 11 of the Pro League, looking to climb from sixth place. They had 15 points from eight games before this round, and a win would keep them close to the sides above. Form favours the hosts. Al Ahli won 4-0 at Al Fateh and then 3-2 at Al Fayha on 19 October, with Artem Bondarenko scoring twice. Ivan Toney leads the league with 11 goals. Zakaria Hawsawi is out with a cruciate ligament injury, and Saleh Abu Al-Shamat was a major doubt at last report. Al Khaleej won 3-2 at Al Fateh on 18 October, with goals from Musa Barrow, Joshua King and Omar Mascarell, but they have won none of their last four away league games. Both meetings with Al Ahli this year finished 4-1 to the Jeddah side. Our prediction: 3-1
Atlas vs América (2 - 5)
América won 5-2 at the Estadio Jalisco, and the game was effectively over before Atlas got a goal back. The visitors led 4-0 by the hour mark. Miguel Borja opened the scoring in the 26th minute and Érick Sánchez made it 2-0 two minutes later. Brian Rodríguez finished a counterattack in the 58th, and Álex Zendejas added a fourth in the 63rd after an Atlas mistake playing out from the back. A VAR check for a handball by Santiago Bueno gave Atlas a penalty, and Luís Esteves scored it in the 73rd. Ryan Mmaee made it 4-2 in the 78th, but Kevin Álvarez restored the three-goal margin a minute later. América began the night top on 24 points and stay there. Atlas, three points off the lead beforehand, saw a four-match unbeaten run end. América have not lost at the Jalisco since 2021.
Levante vs Athletic Bilbao (3 - 1)
Levante won their postponed matchday 6 game 3-1 against Athletic Club at the Ciutat de València. Roger Brugué scored twice in two minutes, and the home side held on through a late Athletic push and a red card for the visitors. Brugué put Levante ahead in the 20th minute, helped by a pass from Dani Requena. He added a second in the 22nd, finishing after a rebound off Unai Simón. Alex Berenguer pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 67th minute. The spot kick came after a foul by Olasagasti and was checked by VAR for nearly five minutes. Six minutes later Aymeric Laporte was sent off for bringing down Requena as the last defender. Athletic never found the equaliser, and in stoppage time Etta Eyong made it 3-1. The game had been called off on 16 September because of weather. The win lifts Levante to 10 points and 11th place, their first league victory since beating Betis 5-2 on 29 August. Athletic stay on 9 points in 13th, winless in the league since 5 September, and host Real Sociedad on 1 November.
Sporting Lisbon vs LASK (2 - 3)
LASK won 3-2 at the Estádio José Alvalade, scoring three times in the second half and hanging on after Sporting CP pulled one back late in a Champions League league phase match. Sporting led after five minutes, when Luis Suárez scored from the penalty spot. Christoph Lang levelled before the interval, with Kasper Jørgensen setting him up. The home side had 62% of the ball and 16 shots to 11, but LASK took the lead in the 63rd minute through Saša Kalajdžić, set up by Robert Ljubičić. Five minutes later Kryštof Daněk made it 3-1 from a Samuel Adeniran pass. Suárez got his second in the 89th minute, but there was no time for a leveller. No red cards were shown, though seven yellows were, five of them to LASK players. Before kick-off Sporting had six points from two games and LASK had none. The Austrian side now have their first three points of the campaign, and Sporting are still on six after three matches.
Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig (4 - 1)
Real Madrid won 4-1 against RB Leipzig at the Bernabéu, and most of the damage came in the last ten minutes. The hosts led 2-0 for a long spell before three goals in five minutes settled it. Bernardo Silva opened the scoring just before half-time (43rd or 44th minute, depending on the source), turning in the rebound after Leipzig keeper Vandevoordt could only parry an Arda Güler shot. Güler got his own on 52 minutes, tapping in from a Kylian Mbappé header. Leipzig stayed in it, with Thibaut Courtois making a one-on-one save from Nkunku before the break. Mbappé made it 3-0 on 83 minutes, finishing a pass from substitute Yan Diomande. Tidiam Gomis pulled one back two minutes later on the counter, only for Diomande, a former Leipzig player, to volley into the top corner on 87 after a ball from Brahim Díaz. Álvaro Carreras and Rocco Reitz were the only players booked. Madrid have won all three of their Champions League games this season, and El Clásico is next. Leipzig have lost two of their three, and they arrived on the back of a 6-1 defeat at Bayern.
Inter Milan vs Shakhtar Donetsk (1 - 0)
Inter beat Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 at San Siro on Wednesday night, and they did it with ten men. It was their first win of this Champions League league phase after defeats to Real Madrid and Club Brugge. Carlos Augusto scored the only goal in the 77th minute. Substitute Henrikh Mkhitaryan played the pass from the centre circle, and the full-back finished with the outside of his boot from 14 yards. The goal came nine minutes after Alessandro Bastoni was sent off. He picked up a booking for a clash with Alisson Santana, then a second for a shove on Oleg Ocheretko after a corner. Shakhtar were the better side early on. Ocheretko and Bonny both went close before the break, and Josep Martinez kept the score level. He made two more saves late on, one a fingertip stop and the other from a close-range header. For Inter the Milan derby comes at the weekend, then a trip to Feyenoord. Shakhtar arrived unbeaten, with a draw at PSV Eindhoven and a win over AEK Athens, and host Sporting Lisbon next.
Club Brugge vs Lens (3 - 0)
Club Brugge beat Lens 3-0 at the Jan Breydel on Wednesday night, despite spending much of the first half under pressure. The visitors had the better chances early on. Franjo Ivanovic hit the post in the 14th minute and Yann Sommer made a string of saves, including one from Junior Kadile just before the interval. Then, in first-half stoppage time, Hans Vanaken followed up a rebound after a corner to make it 1-0. Five minutes into the second half Joaquin Seys missed a clear chance, then put away the loose ball to double the lead. Carlos Forbs finished the job in the 72nd minute. A poor pass from Michael Cuisance let Brugge break, and Forbs ran through and beat the keeper. Brugge now have six points from three games in the league phase. Lens stay on three, with a visit from Sporting CP's conquerors still to come in their remaining five matches, and they have yet to score in the competition away from Prague.
Real Betis vs Feyenoord (1 - 0)
Real Betis beat Feyenoord 1-0 in Seville on Wednesday night, and a penalty from Isco in the 59th minute was the only goal. It was his second winning spot kick in a row, after the 3-2 win over Porto last time out. The penalty was given when St. Juste was judged to have handled a cross from Ezzalzouli. Isco sent Tjark Ernst the wrong way and put the ball low into the bottom right corner. Betis had 23 shots in all, and Ernst made nine saves, with Parrott and Bartra both denied before the break. Feyenoord had their best chance in the 43rd minute, when Zechiël shot from close range and was blocked. Bartra made a key clearance in the 90th minute to protect the lead. Betis have nine points from three games and sit fifth, with a trip to Borussia Dortmund next. Feyenoord have three points and are 26th, and they host Inter in their next match.
Bayern Munich vs Arsenal (2 - 2)
Bayern Munich and Arsenal drew 2-2 at the Allianz Arena, with Declan Rice finishing from a tight angle eight minutes from time to rescue a point for the visitors. Arsenal lost Bukayo Saka to injury inside the first quarter of an hour. His replacement Eberechi Eze volleyed them ahead in the 25th minute after a pass from Martin Odegaard, with VAR confirming the goal after an offside flag. Alphonso Davies levelled in the 35th minute, beating Jurrien Timber and finishing low from a Harry Kane pass. The game turned again just after the hour. Timber blocked a Kane shot with his arm, and Kane sent David Raya the wrong way from the spot in the 61st minute. Rice then took a return pass from substitute Viktor Gyokeres and scored in the 82nd. The point keeps Arsenal unbeaten in this season's league phase, following a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest in their previous match. Bayern were beaten 3-1 by them in last season's meeting.
Aston Villa vs Viking (3 - 1)
Aston Villa made it three wins from three in the Champions League at Villa Park, beating Viking 3-1 on Wednesday night. They had 21 shots to the visitors' seven and only a late volley spoiled the evening. Ross Barkley put the hosts ahead in the 23rd minute, glancing a header into the top of the net from Ibrahim Mbaye's corner. Fourteen minutes later VAR spotted a foul by Zlatko Tripic on Alysson, and Emiliano Buendía sent the penalty into the bottom corner. It was his fourth European game in a row with a goal, a first for a Villa player. The third arrived in the 62nd minute, when Henrik Heggheim turned Alysson's low cross into his own net. Peter Christiansen pulled one back in the 84th with a first-time volley from Kristoffer Askildsen's cross. It was first flagged offside, then given after VAR intervened. Villa's record now reads played three, won three, nine points, under Unai Emery. Viking were on one point from two games before this defeat.
Al Ahly vs El Qanah (3 - 3)
Al Ahly needed a goal in the 93rd minute to draw 3-3 with Al Qanah at Cairo Stadium in round seven of the Egyptian Premier League. They had trailed 3-2 after an own goal. Omar El Saaie put Al Ahly ahead in the 18th minute, but Moudy Shalata pulled Al Qanah level in the 32nd. Achraf Bencharki restored the lead in the 43rd. After the break, Hazem Abdel Sattar made it 2-2 in the 54th. Then, in the 80th minute, Al Ahly defender Yassin Marei turned the ball into his own net to give the visitors a 3-2 advantage. It looked like costing Al Ahly the game until Achraf Dari headed in an equaliser in the third minute of stoppage time. A refereeing expert later said that one of the Al Ahly goals was valid but that the assistant referee had handled the flag badly, which added to the confusion around it. The point leaves Al Ahly second on 17 points, four behind unbeaten leaders Pyramids. Al Qanah sit 11th on 8 points.
Lille vs Galatasaray (2 - 4)
Galatasaray won 4-2 at Lille on Wednesday night, taking their first points of this Champions League campaign. Lille are still without any after three games. Yunus Akgün scored after two minutes, and Soriba Diaoune levelled in the 7th. Diaoune put Lille 2-1 up in the 39th with a right-footed strike. He is 19, and the match report says that makes him the youngest scorer in the club's Champions League history. Aleksey Batrakov headed in a Roland Sallai cross in the 44th to make it 2-2 at the break. A Gabriel Sara corner decided the third in the 52nd. Reports disagree on whether it was credited to Lucas Torreira or as an own goal by keeper Berke Özer. Victor Osimhen finished a counterattack in the 61st for 2-4. A penalty for a challenge by Özer on Osimhen was overturned by VAR in the first half. Lille have lost to Betis, Sporting and now Galatasaray. They have conceded ten goals in those three games.
Como vs Manchester United (4 - 1)
Como beat Manchester United 4-1 at the Stadio Sinigaglia on Matchday 3 of the Champions League league phase. Nico Paz scored twice and was the best player on the pitch. Paz scored his first Champions League goal in the 3rd minute, a left-footed shot past Senne Lammens that reportedly took a deflection off Harry Maguire. Como led 1-0 at the break. Tasos Douvikas made it 2-0 shortly after the restart, and Paz added a second in the 57th minute. Jacobo Ramon then headed in a back-post cross in the 76th minute. Paz also set up one of the goals and left to a standing ovation in the 79th. United had no shot on target in the first half and missed chances through Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo, both of whom put efforts over the bar. Joshua Zirkzee got one back in the first minute of stoppage time after a chip from Amad beat the offside trap. Matthijs de Ligt came back after about 11 months out injured. The defeat leaves questions for Michael Carrick, whose position was described as precarious. Como now have a 4-1 win to build on.
Urawa Reds vs JEF United (3 - 2)
Urawa Reds beat JEF United Chiba 3-2 at Saitama Stadium, and a goalkeeping error nearly cost them the win in the final minute. Takuro Kaneko put the hosts ahead in the 19th minute with a left-footed finish after a stray touch from a Chiba defender fell to him. Boniface Nduka levelled in the 32nd with a free header at the far post from a corner. Urawa had complained that goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa was fouled in the build-up, but the goal stood. Shortly after the break Kenta Nemoto headed in a Matheus Savio cross for his first goal of the season. Substitute Shuta Sasa then nodded in an Itsuki Seko corner in the 81st minute, his fourth goal in as many games. In the 90th minute plus one, Takumi Tsukui finished a counter after Nishikawa misplaced a kick, but it was only a consolation. Urawa have won two league games in a row and are eighth. Chiba are 19th in the relegation zone and have gone five matches without a win.

Guadalajara Chivas ended a four-match winless run at the Estadio Akron, beating Necaxa 1-0 in the Apertura 2026 thanks to an own goal 13 rounds into the season. It took until the 77th minute.

Cúcuta Deportivo vs Atlético Nacional (1 - 0)
Cúcuta Deportivo beat Atlético Nacional 1-0 at the General Santander stadium on Tuesday night, and the visitors' own defence supplied the only goal. It came in the 18th minute. Most reports record it as an own goal by Néider Parra, who put the ball into his own net, though one outlet credits Dayan Pérez with a shot that took a deflection. Two minutes before that, Gustavo Torres had a goal ruled out for offside. Nacional had most of the ball afterwards. James Rodríguez played the full 90 minutes and set up Kevin Parra, who was one-on-one but did not finish. Rengifo hit the woodwork, and in the 89th minute Fabián Abadía saved his shot from distance.

Stuttgart vs Atletico Madrid (1 - 1)
Stuttgart and Atlético Madrid finished level at 1-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with the visitors answering within minutes of the restart after the hosts had led at the break. Jamie Leweling put Stuttgart in front in the 36th minute. The lead lasted until the 47th, when Julián Álvarez equalised for Atlético just after the interval. Neither side found a second goal, and no penalty was awarded. The numbers lean towards the home side. Stuttgart had 5 shots on target to 4 for Atlético, won 9 corners to 4 and committed 15 fouls to the visitors' 7.

Ousmane Dembélé and Dani Olmo both went off injured in the first half. PSG are unbeaten in the league phase with nine points from three games.

Mario Hermoso opened the scoring in the 21st minute with a header from close range, after a Lorenzo Pellegrini free kick was flicked on by Daniele Ghilardi. Nahuel Molina made it 2-0 on 39 minutes, finishing from point-blank range at the far post after a Donyell Malen shot was parried into his path.
