Manchester Utd vs Brighton - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Very disappointing during the previous year, Manchester United is in better shape this season. However, the results are not yet up to expectations. The Red Devils are currently 6th in the Premier League and are 3 points behind 4th place, the last qualifying seat for the next Champions League. Slowly these days, they have only pocketed one victory in 5 matches, for 3 draws and 1 defeat. After poor performances against Wolverhampton 1-1 and Leeds last weekend 1-1, coach Ruben Amorim was dismissed. This week, Manchester United traveled to the relegated Burnley to come.

Brighton today occupies 10th place in the Premier League with 3 units of spending on their opponent of the day. The Seagulls are not yet clinched but are struggling to find the consistency essential to win a European folding seat.

Portsmouth vs Arsenal - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Relegated from the Premier League in 2010, Portsmouth then experienced a descent into hell until playing in League Two 4th division from 2013 to 2017. Back in the Championship in 2024, Colby Bishop's teammates fought to avoid the descent last year. They are in difficulty again this season and today occupy 21st place in the standings with 1 point ahead of the red zone. After going four games without a setback, 2 wins and 2 draws, Portsmouth fell heavily at Bristol City on the last day 5-0. In search of a title since the 2020 FA Cup, Arsenal has legitimate ambitions this season.

The London team also has very high hopes in the championship. And for good reason, the Gunners are at the top of the Premier League with 6 points ahead of their closest pursuer. After a setback suffered in the lair of Aston Villa 2-1, they resumed their march forward with successes against Wolverhampton 2-1, Everton 0-1, Brighton 2-1, Aston Villa 4-1 and Bournemouth last weekend 2-3. This week, Arsenal hosted Liverpool.

Lille vs Lyon - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: France - Coupe de France

A Lille team defeated in the round of 16 of the last three editions began its journey with a timid victory against Lusitanos Saint-Maur N2; 0-1, before the winter break. This result followed another success, the fourth in a row in Ligue 1, at Auxerre 3-4, and allowed the Northerners to start 2026 with confidence. However, they were stopped in their tracks last weekend by Stade Rennais. Beaten at home 0-2, LOSC missed a good opportunity to get back on the Championship podium at the end of the first leg.

 Lyon prepared for this perilous trip with 4 victories in a row in all competitions. On the verge of reaching the round of 16 of the Europa League after defeating Go Ahead Eagles 1-0 and succeeding against Saint-Cyr Collonges R1; 3-0 upon entering the Coupe de France, the Rhone club returned to the competition with a convincing victory in Ligue 1 last weekend, in Monaco 1-3. The players of Paulo Fonseca, the former coach of Lille, took the opportunity to come back to within 2 points of the top four and remain in ambush in the race to qualify for the Champions League.

Metz vs Montpellier - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: France - Coupe de France

Often too strong for Ligue 2 but too weak for Ligue 1, FC Metz is a regular in the elevator between the first two levels of French football. This year again, this observation is verified again since the Moselle club occupies the last place in the ranking in the elite, with only 12 points capitalized during the first 17 days. Suffering before the winter break, the Grenats had gone on a terrible series of 4 consecutive losses against Brest 3-2, Rennes 0-1, Auxerre 3-1 and PSG 2-3 before stopping the bleeding last weekend at Lorient 1-1. On the other hand, Stéphane Le Mignan's men did the job rather well when they entered the Coupe de France against Biesheim 0-3. MHSC, for its part, also occupied last place in the elite last year before being relegated to Ligue 2 where the rebound was not as good as they hoped.

While it was expected to play the leading roles in the race for an immediate return to Ligue 1, the Hérault club is only in 9th place in the ranking and is 6 points behind 5th place, the last qualifier for the play-offs. Hanging on to Grenoble in December 1-1, Zoumana Camara's men were largely dominated by Dunkerque 1-3 on Monday evening for their return to school in 2026. In the previous round, the Paillade players did not really shine to defeat Canet en Roussillon 0-1.

Nantes vs Nice - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: France - Coupe de France

Having entered the competition in this Coupe de France before the winter break, FC Nantes ended up overcoming US Concarneau in a fairly spectacular 3-5 match at the end of which it regained some confidence. Because overall, the Canaries are having a difficult season at the moment. As proof, they are only in 16th position in the Ligue 1 standings with only 14 points on the clock after the first 17 days. After being beaten by Nantes 3-0 and Lens 1-2, the Nantes leaders ousted Luis Castro to entrust the keys to the truck to Ahmed Kantari who had experienced a complicated first before the break against Angers 4-1. But its players went for a prestigious success last weekend at the Vélodrome against OM 0-2, helped by two Marseille expulsions. OGC Nice, for its part, is also suffering this season.

After having had a rather encouraging start, this team suddenly plunged, weighed down by a nightmarish European course marked by 6 defeats in 6 matches. This negative spiral then spread to the championship where the Aiglons also had a series of poor performances, until a defeat at the leader Lensois 2-0. Faced with this observation, the club decided to dismiss Franck Haise to recall Claude Puel, despite qualifying in the previous round against Saint-Etienne 2-1. For his first on the Nice bench, Puel was able to hold off Strasbourg 1-1. A point which allows the Gym to remain in 14th position in the ranking, with 4 units ahead of its opponent of the day.

B. Monchengladbach vs Augsburg - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

Completely on the street at the start of the season, Borussia Mönchengladbach gradually raised its head during the fall. The residents of Borussia Park have indeed put together some good results which have allowed them to climb out of the red zone and currently occupy 12th place in the ranking at the start of this 16th day, with a lead of 4 points over the first relegation zone. However, since their last success against Mainz 0-1, the Poulains have suffered two losses at the end of 2025 against Wolfsburg 1-3 and Dortmund 2-0. Augsburg, for its part, is playing with fire this year.

After having been able to give itself some margin during the last two seasons, this team is back at the bottom of the ranking and it currently only occupies 15th place in this Bundesliga with a lead of only 2 units over the first relegation zone. Fortunately for them, the Bavarians are capable of some brilliant strokes from time to time, like when they were able to defeat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0. A small feat that remained short-lived since they then lost against Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 and were held to a draw by Werder Bremen 0-0 during the last 2 days.

Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

Back at the top of German football since last spring, Bayern Munich now reigns supreme and with great authority over the Bundesliga. Still undefeated after the first 15 days, this team has only lost 4 points out of the 45 put into play since the restart and it is therefore at the top of the ranking, with a nice margin of 9 points over its first pursuer, Borussia Dortmund. Mercilessly against Stuttgart 0-5, the Bavarians had been held back at home by the red lantern, Mainz 2-2, before relaunching without problem against Heidenheim just before the winter break 0-4. Opposite, Wolfsburg is clearly not in the same dimension as its opponent of the day.

On the contrary, this team may well have to fight to hope to retain its place in the elite after a first part of the season well below expectations. Indeed, the VfL only occupies 14th place in the ranking with only 3 points margin on the red zone. Fortunately for them, the Wolves were able to achieve 2 very important successes against Union Berlin 3-1 and Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-3 before the break before falling for the last of the year at home against Freiburg 3-4.

Fiorentina vs AC Milan - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: Italy - Serie A

In a difficult situation this season, Fiorentina is engaged in the fight for maintenance, which was not at all expected. La Viola is currently 19th in Serie A and is, with one more match, 2 points behind the first non-relegation place. The Tuscans have been showing real form recently. Indeed, they have only lost to Parma in the last 4 days, for 2 wins and 1 draw. Otherwise, Fiorentina dominated Udinese 5-1 and Cremonese 1-0 before taking a point at Lazio this week 2-2.

Back at the forefront this season, Milan now occupies 2nd place in Serie A with 4 points behind the leader.

Inter vs Napoli - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: Italy - Serie A

Italian champion in 2024 and runner-up to Napoli last year, Inter have great assets to showcase to lift the Scudetto this season. The Lombard team is now at the top of Serie A with 4 points ahead of its closest pursuer. Since a setback conceded in front of their fans against AC Milan 0-1, the Nerazzurri have the wind in their sails. Indeed, they have in turn won against Pisa 0-2, Como 4-0, Genoa 1-2, Atalanta 0-1, Bologna 3-1 and Parma this week 0-2. Present during the Italian Super Cup, Inter fell to Bologna in the semi-final 1-1, elimination following penalties. 6th in the Champions League, Christian Chivu's gang has every chance of reaching the round of 16 directly. Winner of the Scudetto last year, Napoli is logically considered one of the main favorites to succeed this season.

The reigning Italian champion is currently 3rd in Serie A and concedes 4 units of spending on his opponent of the day. Antonio Conte's men have let valuable points slip away recently. Beaten at Udinese 1-0, they then dominated Cremonese 0-2 and Lazio 0-2 before being held to a draw at home by Hellas Verona last weekend 2-2. At the end of December, Napoli won the Italian Super Cup following their victories against AC Milan 2-0 and Bologna in the final 2-0.

league: Italy - Serie A

Destined to fight not to go down this season, Lecce today occupies 16th place in Serie A with 4 lengths ahead of the first relegation place. The team based in Puglia does not have much margin and risks having to work all season to maintain itself. Tiago Gabriel's teammates have only picked up 2 victories in the last 8 days, for 2 draws and 4 defeats. Last weekend, they did well by taking a point at Juventus 1-1. This week, however, Lecce lost at home against Roma 0-2. Parma is currently 15th in Serie A and is 1 point ahead of its opponent of the day.

They then fell back heavily against AC Milan 3-0 and Torino 0-3. On the other hand, Hellas performed well this week by creating a surprise in the den of Napoli 2-2.

Levante vs Espanyol - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: Spain - LaLiga

Levante had a great success on the previous day, last weekend, on the pitch of Sevilla FC 0-3. A victory which allows him to leave last place in the ranking, now occupied by Real Oviedo, another promoted. This victory now calls for confirmation for the Granotes who have still not gleaned the slightest success at home this season. Recently, they held Real Sociedad to a draw 1-1, following their 4 successive defeats which occurred when they received Athletic Bilbao 0-2, Celta Vigo 1-2, Rayo Vallecano 0-3 and Real Madrid 1-4. Opposite, Espanyol Barcelona started the year 2026 with a defeat, in the derby against Barça 0-2.

It must be said that his former goalkeeper, Joan Garcia, despite being ridiculed by the Llobregat public, produced an XXL performance repelling a bunch of attacks from the Pericos on the Blaugrana cage. The Catalans still remain in the lead in the race for Europe by being installed in 6th place in the ranking. Note also that this defeat against Barcelona put a stop to a very good dynamic of 5 successes in a row in La Liga. Victories obtained against Athletic Bilbao 1-2, Getafe 0-1, Rayo Vallecano 1-0, Celta Vigo 0-1 and Sevilla FC 2-1.

Rayo Vallecano vs Mallorca - Sunday, 11 January 2026

league: Spain - LaLiga

Rayo Vallecano is sticking its tongue out and it was not the winter break that allowed it to breathe given the poor result conceded at home the previous day against Getafe 1-1. It has now been 8 days since the local players last won in La Liga. The last victory dates back to October 26, it was against Alaves at home 1-0. Before Christmas, Inigo Perez's men did not see the light of day on the lawn of Elche, defeated 4-0.

This means that the Mallorcans have only won one of their last 6 matches in the elite. It was at home against Elche 3-1.
