This week matches

Bastia vs Troyes - Monday, 16 February 2026

league: France - Ligue 2

With a low total of only 16 points taken after 22 days, Bastia finds itself in great difficulty in this championship since it still brings up the rear in the ranking. Sporting's accounting situation is also quite worrying since it is still 6 points behind the first non-relegation team despite better performances achieved recently. As proof, Reginald Ray's men have only lost one of their last 5 matches. It was against Montpellier 0-2 after having been able to win against Grenoble 1-0 and Laval 0-2. Since this setback, the Corsicans have been held in check by Nancy 0-0 and by Reims 0-0. Promised for a rise in the elite just a few weeks ago, Troyes was well established at the top of the ranking with a big lead over its first pursuers.

But the machine has stalled on the Aubois side who have just lost 3 consecutive times in the championship. First surprised at Guingamp 1-0, Stéphane Dumont's men were then beaten by Le Mans 0-2 then by Nancy 2-1 last week. In the meantime, they had also been knocked out of the Coupe de France by Lens 2-4. Despite this bad series, Estac remains leader but it is only 2 points ahead of its first pursuers.

Orlando Pirates vs Mamelodi Sundowns - Wednesday, 18 February 2026

league: South Africa - Betway Premiership

Orlando Pirates welcome Mamelodi Sundowns to Orlando Stadium in a Betway Premiership clash that already feels like a title barometer. Pirates come into this fixture riding a strong domestic wave, having recently brushed aside Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila 4-1 and kept things tight at the back in league play. Their cup momentum is real too, after a professional Nedbank Cup win over TTM earlier in February that underlined their squad depth and attacking variety. With the Soweto giants sitting near the summit and looking increasingly comfortable in Miguel da Costa’s structure, this meeting with Sundowns is less about hype and more about confirming whether Pirates can consistently outthink and outwork the side that has defined South African dominance over the past decade.

Recent results suggest Orlando Pirates are building a balanced identity: ruthless when chances fall their way, but disciplined enough to manage games. The away victory over AmaZulu, sealed by a controlled 0-2 scoreline, showcased their ability to absorb pressure and then punish in transition. At home, the comfortable win against Magesi, another solid 2-0, highlighted how their pressing and set-piece routines are starting to click. Even the recent stalemate against Sekhukhune showed a maturity in game management rather than a lack of ambition. All of this feeds into a growing sense that Pirates are not just chasing Sundowns anymore—they are setting their own standard.

Siwelele vs Kaizer Chiefs - Wednesday, 18 February 2026

league: South Africa - Betway Premiership

Siwelele’s clash with Kaizer Chiefs in the Betway Premiership comes at a point in the season where every point feels heavier than the league table suggests. The fixture, scheduled for mid-February in South Africa’s top flight, has been framed in recent coverage as a meeting between a resurgent, hard‑working Siwelele side and a Chiefs outfit still trying to stitch together consistent performances. Discussions around both clubs in the past couple of months have centred on mentality, game management, and the pressure of expectations from demanding fan bases, turning this encounter into more than just another league game.

For Siwelele, recent league outings have underlined both their resilience and their occasional wastefulness in front of goal. Tight, hard‑running matches such as the trip to Polokwane, reflected in the preview for 1-0, and the earlier clash away to Richards Bay, covered in 2-1, show a team comfortable in battles decided by fine margins. Even the home meeting with Mamelodi Sundowns, highlighted in 1-1, suggested that Siwelele can stay organised against technically strong opponents. Those performances hint that, against Chiefs, they may again prioritise structure, discipline, and patience over reckless attacking.

Stellenbosch vs Magesi - Wednesday, 18 February 2026

league: South Africa - Betway Premiership

Stellenbosch welcome Magesi to the Danie Craven Stadium in a Betway Premiership clash that arrives at an interesting moment for both clubs. Over the past two months, Stellenbosch have juggled domestic duties with continental commitments, including a tough CAF Confederation Cup trip where they fell 2–0 away to Belouizdad in late January. Just days earlier, they had edged Sekhukhune United 1–0 on the road in the league, a result that underlined their ability to grind out narrow wins even when not fully in control. That mix of resilience and inconsistency makes this fixture feel finely balanced rather than a straightforward home banker.

Form-wise, Stellenbosch’s recent league sequence of losses and wins paints a picture of a side still searching for rhythm, yet capable of raising their level in key moments. Their away victory over Sekhukhune United on 20 January remains a timely reminder of their defensive organisation and set-piece threat, and it also ties into earlier domestic performances covered in previews such as Magesi and the home clash with Polokwane. Those matches showed how quickly Stellenbosch can transition from cautious containment to incisive attacking moves, especially down the flanks, which could be crucial against a Magesi side still adapting to the demands of top-flight football.

Celtic vs Stuttgart - Thursday, 19 February 2026

league: Europe - Europa League

Not at the level displayed over the last few seasons, Celtic did not really shine during the league phase by only taking 21st place in the regular season of this Europa League, far from the battle for the top 8. That said, the Scots were still able to preserve the essentials by validating their place for the play-offs thanks, in particular, to their last 2 rather successful performances against Bologna 0-0 and against Utrecht 4-2 in the last 2 days. In addition to being fairly average in Europe, the Glasgow-based club is struggling in the league where it should lose the title. 3rd in the Scottish Premiership, Celtic are 6 points behind the leader, Hearts, and only one behind their rival: Rangers. Victorious against Falkirk 2-0 and against Livingston 2-1, the locals will aim for 3 on Sunday against Kilmarnock. On the other side of the median, Stuttgart presents itself with some certainties before this double confrontation.

The Germans were indeed able to secure a good 11th place in the final ranking of the regular season of this Europa League with only one point behind the top 8. Beaten at Roma 2-0, the visitors were able to finish this first phase of the competition on a good note by dominating Young Boys 3-2. At the same time, VfB is on the verge of the top 5 in the Bundesliga after its surprise defeat at Sankt Pauli 2-1. The Swabians will want to recover next weekend at home against Cologne.
