Brighton are currently 11th in the Premier League and are 4 points behind the last European seat. The Seagulls had a complicated month of December with a string of six games without a win in the league, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

Last weekend, Brighton made a good impression with a victory won at Manchester United in the FA Cup 1-2. Bournemouth now occupies 15th place in the Premier League with 12 points ahead of the red zone and 7 behind the last European seat.

Last weekend, Bournemouth were not unworthy but fell on Newcastle's lawn in the FA Cup 3-3, elimination following penalties.

Champion of Nationale 1 last season, Nancy was able to ride on her good momentum to launch this new exercise in Ligue 2 in an ideal way. The rest, on the other hand, was more difficult this fall for the ASNL which then fell into line and which gradually slipped in the ranking. That said, after a series of defeats, Pablo Correa's men have regained momentum in recent weeks by achieving 2 very important successes against Clermont 1-0 and Amiens 1-2 which allowed them to take 6 steps ahead of the red zone. Last week, the Lorraine team faced a formidable team from Le Mans in the 1/16 final of the Coupe de France. Guingamp, for its part, hoped to confirm the fine performances displayed last year when En Avait took 5th final place in the ranking before falling in the first round of the play-offs.

Unfortunately for them, the Bretons were victims of a lot of significant physical problems during the first part of the season in addition to being very weak defensively. As a result, they find themselves in the soft underbelly, in 8th place in this Ligue 2, with a delay of 5 units on the top 5. Completely on the street in December with 3 defeats in a row suffered against Annecy 0-3, Rodez 2-1 and Laval 0-1 in the Coupe de France. But at the start of the month, Sylvain Ripoll's players made a successful comeback by winning largely against Boulogne 3-0.

Back in the elite this season, the Cremonese have no other ambition than to obtain maintenance. The promoted team is currently 13th in Serie A and is 8 points ahead of the first relegated team. Jamie Vardy's teammates quickly distanced themselves from the red zone but have, however, been less to their advantage in recent weeks. Indeed, they have not gleaned any success in the last six days, 2 draws and 4 defeats. After being held in check at home by Cagliari 2-2, Cremonese fell heavily on the field of Juventus last Monday 5-0.

In difficulty this season, Hellas now occupies 19th place in Serie A with 4 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation place.

Driven by an extremely ambitious project, Como hopes to take a step forward this season by qualifying for a European Cup.

The Lombard team currently occupies 6th place in Serie A, 5 points behind 4th place.

On the other hand, they resumed their march forward subsequently with successes obtained against Lecce 0-3, Udinese 1-0 and Pisa 0-3. Held in check at home by Bologna last weekend 1-1, Como hosted AC Milan this coming weekend.

Undefeated at home during the period from August to the December break, Elche finally folded at the start of the calendar year, receiving Villarreal 1-3. First and only defeat at home for Franjiverdes who are playing, as a reminder, with a promoted label. The objective today is obviously to immediately find success in front of its public but force and to note that Elche did not raise its head by sharing the points in Valencia during the previous day 1-1 as a bonus of an elimination in the 1/8th final of the Copa del Rey last week against Bétis 2-1. In the standings, in La Liga, the players of Martinez Valero 9th remain in the heart of the first half of the table, 6 lengths behind Bétis Sevilla, sixth.

Semi-finalist of the Europa League last season and soundly beaten by Lazio, Bodo/Glimt have tackled the higher level this season and suffice to say that this is, for the moment, not a success in itself. With 3 small points in this Champions League, the Norwegian club is provisionally eliminated, out of the race for the play-offs and its top 24. However, a victory today, a scenario which seems unlikely, would clearly revive the hopes for the Bodo, which has just lost its crown in the country, ceding it to Viking by a small point in the championship. To date, during the previous day, the local team went for an unexpected point on the pitch of Borussia Dortmund 2-2. Before that, they were close to achieving the feat against Juventus but ultimately defeated 2-3. Still at home, Glimt lost by one goal to Monaco 0-1. Its biggest defeat was finally written at Galatasaray 3-1 while teams like Tottenham 2-2 and Slavia Prague 2-2 broke their teeth on the Norwegian Iron Curtain. On the other side of the median, we find a Manchester City team looking for direct qualification for the round of 16 and avoiding the trap of the play-offs, which led them straight to elimination last season against Real Madrid.

The same Real Madrid that Pep and his men went to defeat at the Bernabéu during the previous day of the Champions League, winning 1-2. A result which allows the 2023 European champions to occupy 4th place in this league phase. We can recall the road trip experienced at home against Bayer Leverkusen and the mea-culpa of Pep Guardiola who had allowed himself the luxury of rotating in a 0-2 defeat. Since this slap, the English have simply not lost a single match, regardless of the competition. Small downside, City started the year 2026 with three draws, all in the Premier League, against Sunderland 0-0, Chelsea 1-1 and Brighton 1-1. To see if reaction will take place in the Manchester derby with United last weekend result to follow. Before challenging the Mancunians, the SkyBlues will have crossed swords with Exter in the 1/32 final of the FA Cup and Newcastle in the semi-final first leg of the EFL Cup, result to follow.

Copenhagen closes the top 24 in the ranking two games from the end of this league phase. The Lions were ahead of the 25th, and therefore the first club virtually eliminated, by one point before the 7th day matches. They suffered successive defeats against Qarabag 2-0, Dortmund 2-4 and Tottenham 4-0 before regaining their virtues last month with one-goal successes against Kairat Almaty 3-2 and Villarreal 2-3. The winter break called in Denmark has left Copenhagen at a standstill since the end of the year and a last official match won on December 13, in the national cup, against Esbjerg 2-0. The residents of Parken are at the same time struggling to defend their Championship title. They only occupy 5th place in the ranking after 18 days. Copenhagen prepared for the reception of Napoli with friendly matches against Brann 1-1 and Sturm Graz.

 Napoli are surprisingly having a harder time finding a place among the best teams in Europe. The reigning Italian champion is only 23rd in the standings, with the same total points as Copenhagen and a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. He has the unfortunate tendency of always losing after winning, like the last two days. Sovereign at home against Qarabag 2-0, the Partenopei were defeated by Benfica 2-0 last month. They have since lifted the Italian Super Cup title at the expense of Bologna 2-0 and could remain clinging to the lead in Serie A. 3rd in the Championship after resisting Inter Milan 2-2, Napoli then negotiated receptions from Parma and Sassuolo.

Inter, the reigning finalist of this Champions League, needs this victory in order to remain in the top 8. The Nerazzurri are 6th in this league phase, under threat from a bunch of teams and have lost their last two European matches against Liverpool 0-1 and Atlético Madrid in the Spanish capital 2-1. In the league, as has been the case for several seasons now, Inter Milan is playing for the title and at the start of 2026, by beating Bologna 3-1 and Parma on the road 0-2, the inter club continued its winning streak in Calcio with 6 units after its successes against Atalanta Bergamo 0-1, Genoa 1-2, the very serious opposition of Calcio Como 4-0 and Pisa 0-2. Before this Champions League shock, Inter will challenge Napoli in a shock of the 20th day, Lecce and Udinese last weekend to follow. Semi-finalist of the last edition of the Champions League, beaten by PSG, future champion, Arsenal currently holds the controls of this Champions League with an exemplary record of 6 victories in 6 matches but above all 1 goal conceded for a total of 17 registered. Even Bayern lost their teeth against these Gunners winning 3-1, just like Club Bruges winning 0-3, Slavia Prague 0-3, Atlético Madrid 4-0, Olympiakos 2-0 and Bilbao 0-2.

This performance of Mikel Arteta's men vaguely resembles the last edition of Liverpool, released in the round of 16 by PSG. Be careful of the overdrive for the players at the Emirates Stadium who are just as busy in the Premier League with 1st position occupied ahead of Manchester City. No defeat to report since the setback at the very end of the match against Aston Villa on the road 1-2. A Liverpool Reds team that the Londoners will have hosted on January 8 in the championship result to follow, preceding the 1/32 final of the FA Cup against Portsmouth, a short trip to Chelsea in the semi-final first leg of the EFL Cup or even a trip to Nottingham Forest in the championship last weekend to follow.

The baptism of fire in the Champions League is going rather badly for Kairat Almaty, already beaten five times for a small draw and an elimination which now seems inevitable. Indeed, being dead last, Almaty is five lengths behind Copenhagen. Even if successful today, if the higher ranked teams win, then the elimination will be official. In any case, Kairat has already won by participating in this league phase, particularly financially speaking. It remains to be seen whether the Kazakhs will be able to win at least one match. As a reminder, they held Pafos to a draw, probably the match to win at home 0-0. Before that, the local team had conceded a victory in front of their home crowd against Real Madrid 0-5 and lost to Sporting 4-1. The last 3 posters of 2025 corresponded to the last three days of the Champions League given that the domestic championship has already ended champion, and there were three losses by a small goal difference which were written against Inter 2-1, Copenhagen 3-2 and against Olympiakos 0-1. Eighth finalist in the Champions League last year, beaten by Aston Villa, Club Bruges made a bad impression in this new edition by being, for the moment, outside the folding seats allowing them to play the play-offs 31st.

The Belgians are even two lengths behind Copenhagen in the early morning. On the previous day in December, the Gazelles were no match for competition leader Arsenal, losing 0-3. It was with the same score that Bruges left Portugal against Sporting at José Alvala's 3-0 defeat. We can also mention the correction experienced at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich, 4-0 defeat, without forgetting the narrow defeat in Bergamo against Atalanta 2-1. In the end, only Monaco managed to lose against the Belgian club 4-1 victory. Still at home, the current 2nd in the Jupiler League managed to keep Barça in check 3-3. At the end of 2025, in the wake of its heavy disappointment against Arsenal, Club Bruges had three victories in the league, against Dender 1-5, La Gantoise 2-1 and Genk 3-5. It remains to be seen whether 2026 will start as well, with a friendly against Sturm Graz, a quarter-final of the Belgian Cup against Charleroi and a championship day last weekend against RAAL La Louvière to follow.

With only 5 points gleaned during the first 6 days of this league phase, Olympiakos is not currently one of the teams qualified for the rest of the competition. The Greeks only occupy 29th place in the ranking and are 2 lengths behind the 24th and last qualifier for the play-offs. In recent days, the Piraeus club had been held to a draw by PSV Eindhoven 1-1 then beaten after a crazy match against Real Madrid 3-4 before regaining hope by dominating Kairat Almaty 0-1. On the national scene, Olympiakos follows in the footsteps of the leader of the Greek championship, AEK Athens, with only one point behind. Between now and this meeting, they will face Atromitos, PAOK Salonika in the Cup, and Asteras. For their part, Bayer Leverkusen is in the middle of the table in this Champions League regular season.

20th before these last two days, the Germans are in a rather good position to try to qualify for the play-offs even if they only have a 3 point margin on the first virtually eliminated. Slapped by PSG 2-7, Kasper Hjumland's men have since gone undefeated and won 2 wins against Benfica 0-1 and Manchester City 0-2 and a draw against Newcastle 2-2 on the last day. At the same time, in the championship, the Usine 11 is fighting for a place on the podium, very far from the Munich leader. Before this trip to Greece, Bayer players will face Stuttgart, Hamburg and Hoffenheim.

Real Madrid recently missed a chance to win a major trophy, in the Spanish Super Cup, lost for the second time in a row against FC Barcelona in Saudi Arabia, losing 3-2. It's starting to do a lot for the White House, which has not won a final since the arrival of a certain Kylian Mbappé. Now there remains the Copa del Rey, the championship and the Champions League for the, now men of Alvaro Arbeola. Furthermore, recently, the Merengue will have played in Albacete in the 1/8th final of the Copa del Rey result to come and against Levante in La Liga the last weekend result to follow. In this Champions League, same problem for the 15-time winner of the big-eared cup, unable to win his opponents in hat 1, in this case Manchester City defeated 0-2 and Liverpool defeated 1-0. Otherwise, against OM 2-1, Juventus 1-0, Kairat Almaty 0-5 or Olympiakos 3-4, Real Madrid won everything and is ranked 7th in the league phase.

AS Monaco, 19th with 9 points in this Champions League, is not yet guaranteed to participate in the play-offs to reach the round of 16 of the competition. A victory this evening would greatly help the Rocher players get closer to qualifying for the 1/16 finals of the C1. In this campaign, the Monegasques had the merit of shaking Manchester City at home 2-2 but also of beating Galatasaray 1-0, avoiding the trap of Pafos in Cyprus 2-2, of taking the 3 points on the lawn of the semi-finalist of the Europa League last year: Bodo-Glimt victory 0-1 without forgetting the sharing of points with Tottenham 0-0. The only defeat in this C1 for Monaco took place in the first game, against Club Bruges 4-1. In Ligue 1, Paul Pogba's partners should offer a reaction to their supporters last weekend for the reception of Lorient, result to follow in order to confirm their good score in the Coupe de France against Orléans a few days earlier 1-3.

Before these last two days of the regular season of the Champions League, Sporting can still believe in its chances of securing a place in the top 8 and being able to avoid going through the play-offs to qualify for the 1/8 finals. The Portuguese occupy 14th place in the ranking, only 2 short lengths from 8th place occupied by Atlético Madrid. Winners of OM 2-1, Rui Borges' men were unable to continue against Juventus 1-1 but they resumed their march forward subsequently against Club Bruges 3-0. Finally, the Lisbon side were logically unable to hold their own against Bayern Munich 3-1 on the last day. In the championship, Sporting is in 2nd position in the ranking, 7 lengths behind FC Porto who dominates the debates. Before this European poster, he will challenge Casa Pia.

For its part, PSG is quietly heading towards immediate qualification for the 1/8 finals. Be careful, however, for the defending champion who certainly occupies 3rd place in the standings for this regular season but who is only one point ahead of the 9th and first jump-off. Dominated for the first time this season in Europe by Bayern 1-2, Luis Enrique's men were then able to resume their march forward against Tottenham 5-3 before conceding a draw against a valiant Bilbao team before the winter break. On the national scene, the Parisians started 2026 with a victory in the Paris derby against Paris FC 2-1 before winning on penalties against OM during the Champions Trophy 2-2, 4-1 TAB after coming close to defeat. The Ile-de-France residents will once again face Paris FC in the Coupe de France and will have to face Lille before going to Lisbon.

Qualified to compete in this Champions League thanks to their coronation in the Europa League last season, Tottenham are clearly honoring their privilege by being well placed at the top of the table, in the hunt for the top 8. 11th with 11 points, the Spurs are only one length behind Atlético Madrid, currently eighth in this C1. The stakes are therefore high this evening for the Londoners, who remain on a victory in the Champions League against Slavia Prague 3-0, in some way rectifying the disappointment experienced at the Parc des Princes against PSG, defeated 5-3. To mention the other results of the local team in this edition of the Champions, they torpedoed Copenhagen 4-0 and Villarreal 1-0 and obtained two draws on the lawns of Bodo/Glimt 2-2 and Monaco 0-0. Casually, at home, it's 3 successes in 3 matches for Tottenham. Note, however, that the year 2026 took a while to get going since T.Frank's men dropped points in the league against Brentford 0-0 and Sunderland 1-1 before losing to Bournemouth 2-1. To be continued.

On the other side of the median, we find a formidable opponent and always in good shape, notably with a Champions League final in 2024 and quarter-finalist status last season, Borussia Dortmund. It's quite simple, BVB has the co-best attack in the Champions League this season with a total of 19 goals, equal to PSG. Negative point, the Germans have already conceded 13 goals in 6 matches, an average which exceeds 2 goals conceded per match. Casually, their defeat at the Etihad against Manchester City 4-1 did not help them. In the wake of this defeat against the SkyBlues, the Abeilles defeated Villarreal at home 4-0, before losing points in their lair against Bodo/Glimt 2-2. 2026 started with three Bundesliga matches for Dortmund, against Eintracht Frankfurt in a first result to follow, the reception of Werder Bremen in a second result to follow and last weekend against St. Pauli at home result to follow.

Villarreal is one of the big disappointments of this league phase of the Champions League. Expected to at least qualify for the play-offs, this team finds itself in 35th position with only one point obtained after the first 6 days. This was won on home ground against Juventus at the beginning of October 1-1. But since then, the Spaniards have suffered 4 defeats in a row against Manchester City 0-2, Pafos 0-1, Dortmund 4-0 and Copenhagen 2-3, thus putting an end to any hope of qualifying for the rest of the competition. Fortunately for him, the Yellow Submarine is much more to his advantage in the championship where he was on the podium before challenging Alavés and Bétis during the next few days. For its part, Ajax Amsterdam is barely better off in this competition where its chances of reaching the play-offs are very reduced despite the victory won on the last day against Qarabag 2-4.

Because before that, the Batavians had a series of poor performances, all quite significant against Inter 0-2, OM 4-0, Chelsea 5-1, Galatasaray 0-3 and Benfica 0-2. With only 3 points on the clock, the Dutch are 4 points behind 24th place, the last qualifier for the play-offs. In the Eredivisie, the Lancers are on the 3rd step of the podium, behind PSV and Feyenoord. They will face, between now and this trip to Ceramica, Telstar and Go Ahead Eagles.

In their very last meeting, Kaizer Chiefs played against the club and the match ended with a score of 0 - 0. On the other hand, Lamontville G.Arrows obtained 5 wins in their last 14 matches, for 1 draw and 8 losses conceded.

In their last match, Lamontville G.Arrows faced the team of for a final result of 0 - 1. Between Kaizer Chiefs who are currently 4th in the Premiership with a total record of 6 wins, 6 draws and 1 defeat, and Lamontville G.Arrows ranked 10th in the Premiership and presenting a total record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses, we see the victory of Kaizer Chiefs.

Sekhukhune United have won 7 matches in their last 13 matches, and have conceded 2 losses and 4 draws over the same period. Over this period of 13 matches, Sekhukhune United scored 16 goals and conceded 7. In their very last match, Sekhukhune United played against the team and the match ended with a score of 1 - 0.

Atalanta Bergamo's journey in this Champions League got off to a particularly bad start last September with a big defeat at the start of the Parc des Princes against PSG 4-0. But the least we can say is that the Italians subsequently regained their color by stringing together 4 successes and a draw during the following 5 days played against Club Bruges 2-1, Slavia Prague 0-0, OM 0-1, Eintracht Frankfurt 0-3 and finally against Chelsea 2-1. A very good record which allows the Dea to now be in 5th place in this phase of the league, tied on points with PSG which is 3rd. In the league, Raffaele Palladino's players are also going through a good period since they won their first 3 matches in 2026 against Roma 1-0, Bologna 0-2 and against Torino 2-0. They will aim for 4 in a row next weekend against Pisa in order to get closer to the European top 6. Opposite, Athletic Bilbao risks seeing its European road come to a halt in this league phase of the Champions League. Too limited, especially on the offensive level, the Spaniards have only won once in 6 days, at home, against Qarabag 3-1.

Otherwise, they were beaten by Arsenal 0-2, Dortmund 4-1 and Newcastle 2-0 and were held by Slavia Prague 0-0 and PSG 0-0 in the last 2 days. Consequently, the residents of San Mames are outside the top 24, in 28th position in the ranking, 2 lengths from 24th place. At the same time, the Basques are not much more convincing in the championship where they must for the moment be content with 8th place. Largely beaten by Barça in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup, the Bilbao players recovered by winning against Leonesa in the Copa del Rey in a painful 3-4. They will want to build up confidence next weekend against Mallorca.

The first part of the season carried out by Bayern Munich is enough to make the competition pale. If we put aside their 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on the 5th day of this league phase, the German club has not lost any other match in all competitions this year. In the Champions League alone, Vincent Kompany's men claimed the scalps of Chelsea 3-1, Pafos 1-5, Club Bruges 4-0, PSG 1-2 and Sporting 3-1 to occupy 2nd place in this league phase behind the Gunners. At the same time, in the Bundesliga, the Bavarians are alone in the world at the top of the standings with more than 10 points ahead of all the competition. Without pity for its return against Wolfsburg 8-1, Bayern will want to continue this momentum against Cologne and against Leipzig in the coming days. Of course, the Union Saint-Gilloise cannot boast of doing as well as its opponent of the day.

On the contrary, this Belgian team is not currently one of the 24 teams qualified for the rest of the competition since it is only in 27th place in this league phase with 6 points on the clock, one less than 24th. After beating PSV 1-3 on their debut in the tournament, David Hubert's men took to the water against Newcastle 0-4 then against Inter 0-4 before falling to Atlético Madrid 3-1. They subsequently won against Galatasaray 0-1 before surrendering against OM 2-3 on the last day. In the championship, on the other hand, the people of Brussels dominate the debates with a small lead over their first pursuer. Last weekend, they hosted Mechelen in the league, a few days after their trip to Dender in the Cup.

Crowned club world champion last summer, Chelsea arrived in this Champions League with a new status that they are currently struggling to truly assume. The English club is in fact not among the top 8 in the rankings at the moment and is therefore not currently in a position to claim direct qualification for the 1/8 finals even if it is only 2 points behind 8th place before these last 2 days. Capable of easily defeating Ajax 5-1, the Blues then lost points against Qarabag 3-3 before sublimating themselves against Barça 3-0. But on the following day, they wasted their efforts by losing to Atalanta 2-1, thus remaining in 13th position in this league phase. At the same time, the Londoners are only in 8th place in the Premier League, 4 points behind the Big 4 after their defeat against Fulham 2-1. Now under the leadership of Liam Rosenior, Chelsea largely dominated Charlon 1-5 in the FA Cup. The players of the former Strasbourg coach will again face Arsenal in the League Cup then Brentford in the championship. For his part, Pafos discovers, during this 2025-2026 season, the final phase of the Champions League.

And as might be expected, the Cypriots are having difficulties. That said, they are far from having said their last word in the race for qualification since they have already accumulated 6 points during the first 6 days, which allows them to be in 27th place in the ranking, only a small point from the top 24 qualifying for the rest of the competition. David Luiz's partners were notably able to obtain good results like against Olympiakos 0-0, Kairat Almaty 0-0, Villarreal 1-0 and Monaco 2-2. That said, they could not resist against Bayern 1-5 and Juventus 2-0. At the same time, in the championship, Pafos is in 2nd place in the standings with 2 points behind Omonia Nicosia who have one more match. Winner of Aradippou 2-0, this team will then face Olympiakos Nicosia next weekend.

Galatasaray was in a good position in the race for the play-offs before the matches of the 7th day. Virtually 18th, halfway between the top 8 and the first eliminated 25th place, the Turkish club remains however with frustrating defeats in this campaign against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 0-1 and Monaco 1-0. These results balanced its record at 3 wins and 3 losses 2 days before the end of the league phase. Galatasaray has since had a string of victories in the Championship. The Istanbulites were able to line up a fourth last Saturday against Gaziantep. Their bitter failure in the final of the Turkish Super Cup against Fenerbahçe 0-2, at the start of the month, will remain an eternal regret since it is the only match that they have not won since the transition to the year 2026.

 Atlético de Madrid remains on victories against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 3-1, Inter 2-1 and PSV Eindhoven 2-3 in this league phase. This maximum contribution of points over the last three days allowed the Colchoneros to close the top 8 before the 7th day, with the same total as the 9th, the first virtually play-off club. They prepared for this trip to Istanbul with a clash with Alaves last Sunday in La Liga. The challenge for the Madrilenians was to stay close to the podium after beating La Coruna 0-1 in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. They then started 2026 with a draw in the Championship against Real Sociedad 1-1 and a defeat in the Madrid derby against Real 1-2, in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup.

Considered some time ago as one of the biggest European teams, Juventus has lost its luster in recent years. From now on, the Old Lady must fight to keep her place in the top 24 even if, barring disaster, she should at least be able to validate her place for the play-offs fairly quickly. The Italians occupy 17th place in this league phase and are 3 steps ahead of their opponent of the day who is the first virtually eliminated. Since their only defeat against Real Madrid in October 1-0, the Bianconeri took a point against Sporting 1-1 before winning in pain against Bodo/Glimt 2-3 then without really shining against Pafos 2-0. In Serie A, the Turinese are going through a good period since they have won 5 of their last 6 matches. They have also fully convinced to defeat Sassuolo 0-3 and Cremonese 5-0 and they will aim for a new success on Saturday against Cagliari.

Opposite, Benfica will have to wear the blue of warm-up during these next two days to hope to secure a place in the play-offs. Nothing is in fact a given for the Portuguese who today only occupy 25th place in the ranking with only 6 points on the clock. Beaten during the first 4 days by Qarabag 2-3, Chelsea 1-0, Newcastle 3-0 and by Bayer Leverkusen 1-0, José Mourinho's men nevertheless regained hope by winning against Ajax 0-2 and Napoli 2-0. At the same time, in the championship, the Lisbon side are out of the race for the title since they are 10 points behind FC Porto. Beaten in the League Cup by Braga 1-3, Benfica players will want to get back in the cup against FC Porto then they will travel to Rio Ave in the championship.

Ambitious to progress to at least the play-offs, OM managed a very good operation in the last few days by beating Newcastle 2-1 and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 2-3. The Marseille club therefore moved up to 16th position and was ahead of the 25th, and first eliminated, by 3 points while two matches are still to be played in this league phase. Since then, Mason Greenwood and his teammates have had a bad start to 2026. They did not avoid a surprising defeat in Ligue 1 against Nantes 0-2 and were getting closer to a first title since 2012, in the Champions Trophy, until conceding PSG's equalizer on the gong and finally losing on penalties 2-2, 4-1 TAB. Marseille got back on track in the Coupe de France against Bayeux 0-9, residents of Regional 1, and traveled to Angers on Saturday, in the hope of retaining their place on the Championship podium. Liverpool are also confident in the Champions League after the last day, punctuated by a victory at Inter Milan 0-1, finalist of the previous edition.

Authors of 4 wins and 2 defeats, the Reds have moved to within one point of the top 8 and will be serious contenders for qualification for the round of 16 in the final sprint. Their following performances were to be welcomed on the national scene. Undefeated in the Premier League for two months, they moved up to 4th place and remained in draws in the exercise against Leeds 0-0, Fulham 2-2 and the leader, Arsenal 0-0. After crushing Barnsley 4-1 last week in the FA Cup, the Mersey club could return to victory in the Championship on Saturday against relegated Burnley.

With 10 points gleaned during the first 6 days, Newcastle is part of a large group of teams still capable of securing a place among the top 8 of the regular season and obtaining direct qualification for the 1/8 finals of this Champions League without going through the play-offs. However, after having won 3 victories in a row against Union Saint Gilloise 0-4, Benfica 3-0 and Bilbao 2-0, the English have just gone 2 games without a victory against OM 2-1 and Bayer Leverkusen 2-2. They are therefore 2 lengths behind 8th place. At the same time, in the Premier League, the Magpies are in 6th place in the 3-unit ranking of the Big 4 after their victory against Leeds 4-3. Opposed to Manchester City in the League Cup, Eddie Howe's men will travel to Wolverhampton next weekend. Opposite, PSV Eindhoven should be a little short to compete for a place in the top 8. They will even have to secure their place among the first 24, they who currently occupy 21st place in this regular season of the Champions League with 2 points ahead of the 25th and first eliminated.

Surprised from the start by Union Saint-Gilloise 1-3, the Batavians were then able to hold off Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 before outclassing Napoli 6-2. They then took a new point against Olympiakos 1-1 and inflicted a big correction on Liverpool 1-4. But on the last day, the Dutch had no choice but to surrender against Atlético Madrid 2-3. On the other hand, in the championship, Peter Bosz's men are alone in the world at the top of the ranking, with 13 points ahead of their first competitor. A new duel awaits them next weekend against Fortuno Sittard where they will aim for a 17th victory in 19 days, their 13th in a row.

Qualified for the first time in its history for the final phase of the Champions League, Qarabag does not have to be ashamed of its record after 6 days. The Azerbaijanis are in fact still in the running to reach the play-offs and they occupy 22nd place in this regular season with 7 points in their pocket. Gurban Gurbanov's men had started quite strongly by winning their first 2 matches against Benfica 2-3 and against FC Copenhagen 2-0 but the rest was more difficult with only one point gleaned during the next 4 days against Bilbao 3-1, Chelsea 2-2, Napoli 2-0 and finally against Ajax 2-4. At the same time, in the championship, Qarabag is in 2nd place in its championship, which is on break this winter, with one point on the leader. To prepare for this meeting, the locals played 2 friendly matches against Neftchi 5-0 victory and Zaglebie to follow. For its part, Eintracht Frankfurt cannot be satisfied with its record after these first 6 days.

The German club, however, got off to a flying start by crushing Galatasaray 5-1 on the first day. But the rest of the events turned sour for the Capricious Diva who lined up 4 defeats and a draw against Atlético Madrid 5-1, Liverpool 1-5, Napoli 0-0, Atalanta 0-3 and FC Barcelona 2-1. Consequently, it finds itself in 31st place in the rankings for this league phase and is 3 points behind the top 24. At the same time, in the Bundesliga, the Eagles are on pace to try to secure a European place. Hanging on to Dortmund 3-3, they will face Stuttgart and Werder Bremen before this long trip to Azerbaijan.

Too limited to play the leading roles in this Champions League, Slavia Prague is dragging its feet at the bottom of the ranking, in 33rd position out of 36. And with 3 small units on the clock, the Czechs have practically said goodbye to all their chances of being able to climb beyond the group stage before these last 2 days. However, Jindrich Trpisovsky's players were able to hold off Bodo Glimt 2-2, Atalanta 0-0 and Bilbao 0-0, each time at home but otherwise suffered on the road against Inter 3-0, Arsenal 0-3 and Tottenham 3-0. In terms of current affairs, however, Slavia is performing and has even made a breakthrough at the top of the local championship standings, 7 lengths ahead of its neighbor and rival Sparta. With the championship still on winter break, Prague has played friendly matches in recent weeks. Beaten by FC Basel 4-3 and held in check by Karlsruhe 1-1, they will again face the Norwegians of Brann before receiving Barça.

Barça, for their part, started this new year 2026 very well by winning the Spanish Super Cup after beating Athletic Bilbao 5-0 in the semi-final then Real Madrid in the final 2-1 to retain this title. The Catalans assume their status as leader of the Spanish championship where they were 4 steps ahead of the Merengue again before challenging Real Sociedad next weekend. In the Champions League, the Culers are currently only in 15th place in the standings, 2 points behind the top 8. Hanging on to Club Bruges 3-3 and outclassed by Chelsea 3-0, Hansi Flick's players still managed to get back on track by dominating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 on the final day.

AS Roma has 12 points in this Europa League, on the edge of the top 8 while being stationed in 10th position. A victory today would be greatly welcome for the Romans, who would notch up a fourth successive victory in this phase of the league after successes against Celtic 0-3, Midtjylland 2-1 and Rangers 0-2. The adventure began with a victory against OGC Nice 1-2 before sinking twice against Lille, defeated 0-1 and Plzen 1-2. In the league, Gasperini's men lost to Atalanta Bergamo at the very start of the calendar year before reacting perfectly by beating Lecce 0-2 and Sassuolo 2-0. Facing Torino last weekend, the team from the capital was trying to record a third successive victory, with the result to come. Let us also remember that it was eliminated from the Italian Cup at the stage of the 1/8th finals by Torino itself 2-3.

 German side Stuttgart also have 12 points to their name in this competition, but thanks to a slightly better goal difference than the Italians, they occupy 9th place, ambush behind Porto. Last Sunday, Stuttgart hosted Union Berlin in the championship, with the aim of extending its unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga to five games after three great victories against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 and in style on the lawns of Bayer Leverkusen 1-4 and Werder Bremen 0-4. In this Europa League, VfB beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-1, Go Ahead Eagles 0-4, Feyenoord 2-0 and Celta Vigo 2-1. There are two road trips away from Fenerbahce 1-0 and Basel in Switzerland 2-0.

Rather solid so far in this Europa League, Bologna has only lost once so far during this league phase. It was on the Aston Villa pitch during the 1st day 1-0. The Italians then won 2 draws against Friborg 1-1 and Brann 0-0 and obtained 3 victories against FCSB 1-2, Salzburg 4-1, and finally against Celta Vigo 1-2 on the last day. Thanks to this assessment, they find themselves in 13th position with a small point behind 8th place. At the same time, in Serie A, the Rossoblu are on course for a place in Europe next year. After beating Hellas Verona 2-3, Bologna hosts Fiorentina next weekend.

 On the Celtic side, we will have to turn our backs in the coming days. Qualifying for the play-offs will not be easy for this team since they are in 24th place in the standings with a small margin over their first pursuer. So far, the Scots have been beaten 3 times by Braga 0-2, Midtjylland 3-1 and AS Roma 0-3, held to a draw by Red Star Belgrade 1-1 but they were able to win against Sturm Graz 2-1 and against Feyenoord 1-3. In the championship, the Glasgow club is in 2nd position in the standings, 6 lengths behind the leader, Hearts after its last 2 successes against Dundee United 4-0 and Falkirk 0-1. Next weekend they will face Auchinleck Talbot in the Cup.

We will have to count on Braga in the coming days in the fight for direct qualification for the 1/8 finals. With its 13 points taken after the first 6 days, Sporting is in a very good 7th place in the standings, just 2 lengths from the 1st place occupied by OL. If they had been beaten by Genk 3-4 and held to a draw by Rangers in November 1-1, the Portuguese revived during the last day by defeating a Nice team in great difficulty in the competition 0-1. On the national scene, Carlos Vicens' players are on the verge of the top 4 in the championship. Eliminated in the League Cup by Vitoria Guimaraes 2-1 then by AD Fafe 2-1 in the Cup, Braga will want to move forward against Tondela next weekend.

For their part, Nottingham Forest is in 11th place in the Europa League standings, 2 units behind their opponent of the day. Getting off to a very bad start in this phase of the league, the English got back on track by winning 3 of their last 4 matches against Porto 2-0, Sturm Graz 0-0, Malmö 3-0 and Utrech 1-2 which allows them to maintain good momentum before these last 2 days. In the Premier League, Forest had a series of 4 defeats in a row before recovering against West Ham 1-2. Sean Dyche's players will have a lot to do this weekend against Arsenal but they will be able to keep their place outside the red zone.

Still in the top 24 by being 22nd in this league phase, the place for the round of 16 for Brann is not yet assured. At a minimum, we would have to win one last match or record two draws while hoping, at the same time, for missteps from the competition. The best would be to win for the local team, something they failed to do for the reception of Fenerbahce during the previous day's 0-4 defeat. Before that, Brann had cleaned up two neutral results in Greece against POAK Salonika 1-1 as well as in Italy in Bologna 0-0 and victorious at home against Rangers 3-0 and Utrecht 1-0. The competition began with a defeat on the Lille pitch, still offering a valiant 2-1 victory.

The championship having ended in Norway, Brann had to settle for fourth place, which will allow him to play in the qualifiers for the next Conference League.  2nd in this league phase with the same number of points as Olympique Lyonnais, Midtjylland reacted perfectly to its defeat against AS Roma on the 5th day 2-1 by beating the Belgian team of Genk on the previous day 1-0. In this phase of the league, the Danish club had already defeated Celtic 3-1, Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-3, the English Nottingham Forest 2-3 and Sturm Graz to open the ball 0-2. Since the start of the calendar year, Midtjylland has had a series of friendlies, three for precisely two victories against Sonderjyske 3-6 and against the Ukrainians of Kryvbas 3-0.

With 3 victories and 3 defeats as a result after the first 6 days, Celta Vigo occupies 19th place in this Europa League regular season. The Spaniards are therefore well on their way to competing in the play-offs but they will still need to take at least one or 2 points to definitively validate their qualification. Beaten by Stuttgart 2-1, Ludogorets 3-2 and Bologna 1-2 during the last day, the Celticos were on the other hand able to get the better of PAOK Salonika 3-1, Nice 2-1 and against Dinamo Zagreb 0-3. At the same time, in the championship, the Galicians are in ambush to try to win a European place after starting 2026 with 2 successes obtained against Valencia 4-1 and against Sevilla FC 0-1. On Sunday, Celta Vigo will aim for a 3rd victory in a row against Rayo Vallecano. Opposite, Lille presents itself with exactly the same record as its opponent of the day, namely 3 victories and 3 defeats after the first 6 days.

Indeed, the Mastiffs were able to win against Brann 2-1, AS Roma 0-1 and Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 but they were beaten by PAOK Salonika 3-4, Red Star Belgrade 0-1 and by Young Boys 1-0 last month. Logically, they are therefore in the wake of Celta Vigo in the ranking and must therefore still validate their qualification. At the same time, in Ligue 1, the Northerners are at the foot of the podium before their trip scheduled for Friday evening at PSG. Before this match which promises to be difficult, Losc had been dominated at home by Rennes in the league and by Lyon 1-2 in the Coupe de France.

Capable of gaining 7 points during the first 6 days, Dinamo Zagreb is currently in 25th position in the standings and is therefore the first team virtually eliminated from this league phase. However, everything is still possible for this team which has the same number of points as the 23rd, Ludogorets. After starting with 2 successes against Fenerbahce 3-1 and Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-3 and a draw against Malmö 1-1, the Croatians lost their next 3 matches against Celta Vigo 0-3, Lille 4-0 and Bétis 1-3. At the same time, in the league, Dinamo peaks at the top of the standings halfway through the season. Last week, he was beaten by Hartberg 1-2 in a friendly match.

The FSCB, for its part, is in 27th place in this regular season with one point behind its opponent of the day. The Romanians won 2 wins against Go Ahead Eagles 0-1 and Feyenoord 4-3 on the last day for 4 defeats against Young Boys 0-2, Bologna 1-2, FC Basel 3-1 and against Red Star 1-0. Very disappointing in the championship, the Bucharest club is only in 9th position, 9 lengths behind the leader, after its last 2 successes won in December. Dinamo players will return to competition this weekend against Arges Pitesti.

Positioned on the 12th step of this league phase, Fenerbahce is only two lengths behind Porto, 8th and last qualified for the round of 16 outside the play-off. A victory would do great good for the Turks who won their first three matches in 2026, in the Super Cup against Samsunspor in the semi-final 2-0 and in the final against Galatasaray 0-2. Encouraged by this trophy, the yellow canaries immediately beat the modest team of Beyoglu Yeni Carsi in the Turkish Cup 0-1. It remains to be seen whether Mattéo Guendouzi's new partners will have been able to secure a fourth victory in a row against Alanyaspor in the league last weekend, with the result to come. To evoke this Europa League, Fener offered Brann in a good way during the previous day 0-4 thanks in particular to Talisca's hat-trick. The local club remained before that on two points sharing with Ferencvaros 1-1 and Plzen 0-0. The adventure began with a defeat in Croatia against Dinamo Zagreb 3-1, but the Turkish players recovered well by beating OGC Nice 2-1 and Stuttgart 1-0 in quick succession. Unlike Fenerbahce, Aston Villa is in a favorable position in the race for the top 8 by being 3rd in this league phase with the same number of points as Lyon leader and Midtjylland 2nd.

The only difference is that the Londoners have only scored 10 goals while Lyon and Denmark have scored 13 times in the competition. During the previous day, against Basel in Switzerland, Villa won by a small goal 1-2. Before that, Unai Emery's men had also struggled to beat Young Boys Berne at home 2-1 in the wake of a victory marked by a clean sheet against Maccabi Tel Aviv, a 2-0 victory. The start of the competition was daunting with two great victories against Bologna 1-0 and Feyenoord 0-2 but during the 3rd day, the Villains fell into the Dutch trap of the Go Ahead Eagles 2-1, probably the weakest opponent on the list of 8 matches to be played by the English in the edition. In the Premier League, the residents of Villa Park are in the race for the Champions League, 3rd behind Manchester City and Arsenal. Last weekend, it was Everton on the program with the ambition of regaining the taste of success following a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace. Small mention of qualification for the 1/16 finals of the FA Cup, obtained following a success against Tottenham Spurs 1-2.

6th in the early morning, Ferencvaros has a total of 14 points, 1 length behind Lyon, Midtjylland and Aston Villa. Everything is therefore possible for the Hungarian team which offered itself, in this C3, the Rangers 2-1, Ludogorets 3-1, Salzburg 2-3 and Genk 0-1. There were also draws against Plzen 1-1 and Fenerbahce 1-1. Still no match in official competition in 2026 for Varga's partners, but many friendlies, rather poorly negotiated with defeats against Holstein Kiel 0-2 and SK Rapid 1-0. To date, Ferencvaros drew with Midtjylland 1-1. In the championship, the local team is runner-up to Györ.   On the other side of the median, we find the Greek club Panathinaikos, 15th in this Europa League with a delay of 3 points on the top 8.

During the previous day, Pana shared the points with Plzen at home 0-0. A draw which pulled the rug out from under the good momentum of the Greeks who had beaten Sturm Graz 2-1 and Malmö 0-1 in quick succession. There are still 2 defeats, contracted on the pitch of Feyenoord 3-1 and at home against the Batavians Go Ahead Eagles 1-2. Recently, Panathinaikos easily defeated Aris in the quarter-finals of the Greek Cup, winning 3-0, three days after a very good victory in the championship obtained against Panserraikos 3-0. Last weekend, still within the framework of the championship, Pana went to the pitch of AEK Athens result to come with the aim of recording a 3rd victory in 3 matches played in 206 tcc.

Feyenoord is clearly not in its right mood in this Europa League, or even this season at all. To stay with the C3, the Dutch club is not yet even guaranteed to play the 1/16th finals being only 30th in the ranking with only 3 small points after 6 days. Only one victory to report for Feyenoord, against Panathinaikos at home 3-1. For the rest of the results, quite logically, there were five defeats. Against Braga 1-0, Aston Villa 0-2, Stuttgart 2-0, Celtic 1-3 and FCSB 4-3. To start 2026, Robin van Persie's men settled for a draw at Heerenveen 2-2, a fifth successive match without a win in all competitions. Last weekend, the Batavians hosted Sparta Rotterdam, with the aim of rediscovering the pleasure of winning a football match with the result to come. Qualified to participate in the league phase of the Champions League last season, Sturm Graz is now participating in the little sister of the queen of European competitions, the Europa League.

In a similar situation to Feyenoord but with 1 point more, Sturm is virtually eliminated from the competition by being installed in 29th place. Hosting Red Star Belgrade on the previous day, the Sturm lost with the narrowest of scores 0-1 after losing to Panathinaikos 2-1. To list the other results, the Austrian team was held to a draw at home by Nottingham Forest 0-0, lost at Celtic Park against Celtic 2-1 and in Denmark against Midtjylland 2-0. The only victory was written for the reception of Rangers 2-1. In the league, Sturm Graz ended 2025 with a defeat against Austria Vienna 3-1. At the start of the year, in order to maintain the rhythm, the current 3rd in the Austrian championship is participating in friendlies. Two were played but no victory against Club Brugge 2-2 and Copenhagen 4-4, two Champions League-sized adversities.

SC Friborg has every reason to believe in its chances of direct qualification for the 1/8 finals of this Europa League. This German team occupies 5th place in the rankings for this phase of the league with only one small point behind the 1st place occupied by OL. Dominating against Nice 1-3, the Black Forest club then lost points against Viktoria Plzen 0-0 before moving forward against Salzburg 1-0 in the final days. In the championship, Julian Schuster's men are still out of the top 6 after their 2-0 defeat against Leipzig. A trip to Augsburg awaits them on Sunday. For their part, Maccabi Tel Aviv is clearly not up to par in this competition where they were only able to pick up a small point after the first 6 days.

It was against PAOK Salonika 0-0 for their entry into the running. Otherwise, this Israeli team suffered against Dinamo Zagreb 1-3, Midtjylland 0-3, Aston Villa 2-0, Lyon 0-6 and finally against Stuttgart 4-1. Logically, it therefore finds itself in 35th position in the ranking, just ahead of OGC Nice. At the same time, in the championship, Maccabi is on the 3rd step of the podium, 6 units from the first 2. After winning 2 wins against Hapoel Jerusalem 1-3 and against Sakhnin 1-0, he will aim for 3 next weekend against Maccabi Haifa.

Already on the street last year in this Europa League where it only took 2 points over the entire league phase, OGC Nice is doing even worse this year since it still has not unlocked its counter after the first 6 days. Overwhelmed, the Gym had to lose to Roma 1-2, Fenerbahce 2-1, Celta Vigo 2-1, Friborg 1-3, Porto 3-0 and finally against Braga 0-1 on the last day. As a result, the Aiglons find themselves bringing up the rear in the ranking and they can no longer hope to finish among the first 24. Also in crisis in the championship, the Azuréens experienced a nightmarish end to 2025 before resuming competition after the winter break with a draw obtained against Strasbourg 1-1 for the first of Claude Puel on the bench. Subsequently, the Niçois defeated Nantes in the Coupe de France 1-1, 3-5 tab and they will travel to Toulouse next weekend. In the rankings, the Gym is in 14th place, 4 points ahead of the red zone.

For its part, Go Ahead Eagles have not yet given up on their hopes of qualifying for the play-offs. And for good reason, the Dutch, who are in 28th place in the standings for this league phase, are only a small point behind 24th place. Despite defeats against FCSB 0-1, Salzburg 2-0, Stuttgart 0-4 and Lyon 1-2 on the last day, the Batavians still produced good performances to defeat Panathinaikos 1-2 and Aston Villa 2-1. At the same time, in the Eredivisie, the players from the city of Deventer are in 12th position in the ranking with 5 units of margin on the red zone. Hanging on to Fortuna Sittard 2-2, they will travel to Ajax next weekend.

18th with 9 points, for the moment, PAOK Salonika is in the standings to qualify for the 1/16th final. The last clash in this C3 ended with an ultra-prolific match in Bulgaria against Ludogorets 3-3. A second draw in a row in the competition after the one contracted at home against the Norwegians of Brann 1-1. Still at home, PAOK was deprived of a victory against Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-0 but reassured itself against Young Boys 4-0. We also mention a very important success among the Dogues de Lille 3-4. Casually, in all competitions, the Greeks have only lost 2 of their last 20 matches played. Since the start of 2026, only victories to report for the local team, including two in the national cup against Atromitos in the 1/8 final and in the quarter-final against Olympiakos 0-2, as well as in the championship on the pitch of Panetolikos 0-3. Last weekend, with the aim of achieving a fourth success in all competitions in this new year, PAOK welcomed OFI Crete in the championship, results to come.

 For its part, Betis Sevilla has so far performed almost flawlessly in this Europa League, with 4 wins and 2 draws. The successes were written on the pitch of Ludogorets 0-2, at home against OL 2-0 and Utrecht 2-1 and on the pitch of Dinamo Zagreb 1-3. Against Nottingham 2-2 and on the Genk pitch 0-0, the Andalusians were forced to share the points. In the standings of this Europa League, Betis Sevilla occupies fourth place, lying in wait behind Aston Villa, Midtjylland and Lyon. If we talk about all the competitions that Bétis is covering this season, the team coached by Mr. Pellegrini has only found defeat four times, in the league each time against Bilbao, Atlético Madrid, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid at the start of 2026. Last weekend, the Verdibancos were entitled to quite a shock in the league with Villarreal, result to come a few days after their victory in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against Elche.

Plzen has still not played a single official match in 2026, only being satisfied with friendly matches against the Swiss Lugano winning 2-4 and the Danes Sonderjyske 3-1. At the end of 2025, the Czech team won the league against Dukla Prague 2-0, following their Europa League draw at Panathinaikos. In the championship, Plzen is in fourth place. In this Europa League, Viktoria Plzen occupies 14th place but still in the running to grab a spot in the top 8, provided they win today. The other results of this C3 are as follows, a draw at home for the receptions of Friborg 0-0 and Fenerbahce 0-0, victories against Malmö in a poster with 3 expulsions 3-0 and on the grass of AS Roma 1-2 without forgetting the sharing of points on the grass of Ferencvaros 1-1.  Porto, since the start of the season, has been very mean to its opponents. Only 2 defeats in all competitions, in the Europa League against Nottingham Forest and in the quarter-final of the Portuguese League Cup against Guimaraes.

Apart from that, particularly in the championship, there were 16 victories in the space of 17 days. Sunday evening, the Dragons traveled to Guimaraes with the ambition of taking their revenge but also of recording a 17th victory in the league and a 9th in a row in all competitions and thus consolidating their first place ahead of Sporting. In C3, F.Farioli's men occupy the top 8 and won their last European partition against Malmö 2-1. Before that, they had defeated OGC Nice 3-0, been held to a draw by Utrecht 1-1, beaten in Nottingham therefore 2-0 and extinguished Red Star Belgrade 2-1 as well as Red Bull Salzburg 0-1.

With a balanced record of 3 wins and 3 defeats after 6 days, Young Boys are on a fairly good footing to try to qualify for the play-offs of this Europa League. The Swiss in fact occupy 21st place in the ranking and have 2 points of margin on 25th place, the first synonymous with direct elimination. That said, a difficult schedule awaits them between now and the end of this regular season as they face OL, the leader, and Stuttgart at home, who are also vying for a place in the top 8. Gerardo Seoane's men were beaten by Panathinaikos 1-4, PAOK 4-0 and Aston Villa 2-1 and on the other hand they took points against FCSB 2-0, Ludogorets 3-2 and finally against Lille 1-0 on the last day. At the same time, in the championship, the Bern club is only in 6th place in the Swiss championship, more than 10 lengths behind FC Thune which is leader. They will only return to competition this weekend against Lausanne after losing 2 friendly matches against Dinamo Bucharest 0-2 and LASK 0-3. OL, for their part, probably did not expect to lead the way in the standings before these last 2 days of the league phase but they are undoubtedly adapting very well to this comfortable situation.

The French club, however, has very little room to maintain this leadership status and it is only 3 points ahead of 9th place. Solid, the Gones only lost to Bétis 2-0 in this Europa League. Otherwise, they beat Utrecht 0-1, Salzburg 2-0, FC Basel 2-0, Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-6 and Go Ahead Eagles 1-2. At the same time, in the championship, the Rhone residents moved up to 5th place in the ranking after their victory against AS Monaco 1-3. Winner of Lille 1-2 in the Coupe de France last week, they will aim for another success against Brest on Sunday.
