Brighton vs Everton - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: England - Premier League

Brighton currently occupies 12th place in the Premier League, 7 points behind the bottom European seat and 10 ahead of the top relegation table. The Seagulls have unfortunately been moving slowly for several weeks. Indeed, they have only won against relegated Burnley 2-0 in the last 10 days, for 5 draws and 4 defeats. After having to settle for sharing points against Bournemouth at home 1-1, Brighton lost on the Fulham pitch last weekend 2-1.10th in the Premier League with 3 lengths ahead of their opponent of the day, Everton can believe in their chances of clinching Europe at the end of the season. The task obviously promises to be difficult, given the strong competition.

The Toffees are blowing hot and cold at the moment. They have only won 2 of their last 8 league matches, with 3 draws and 2 defeats. Note that the two successes were acquired during the last two trips, against Nottingham Forest 0-2 and Aston Villa 0-1. Last Monday, Everton were held to a draw at home by Leeds 1-1.

Chelsea vs West Ham - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: England - Premier League

Having dropped out of the title race, Chelsea now aim to qualify for the next Champions League. The London team is currently 5th in the Premier League and is a small point behind 4th place. Checkered results led to the dismissal of coach Enzo Maresca at the end of December. Since the arrival on the bench of Liam Rosenior, the Blues have resumed their march forward. Beaten by Arsenal in the semi-final first leg of the League Cup 2-3, they otherwise crushed Charlton in the FA Cup 1-5 and won their two championship matches played against Brentford 2-0 and Crystal Palace last weekend 1-3.

In great danger this season, West Ham now occupies 18th place in the Premier League with 5 units of spending on the first non-relegation team. The Hammers were not expected to struggle as much and will have to work hard to maintain their position. After a string of ten games without a win between the end of November and the beginning of January, 4 draws and 6 defeats, they resumed their march forward during the last two days. Indeed, West Ham remains on the successes acquired against Tottenham 1-2 and Sunderland last weekend 3-1.

Leeds vs Arsenal - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: England - Premier League

Expected in the fight not to go down this season, Leeds are currently 16th in the Premier League and are 6 points ahead of the first relegation place. The promoted player has raised his level in recent weeks, which has allowed him to move away from the red zone. Thus, Daniel Farke's gang has only lost in the lair of Newcastle 4-3 in the last 10 days, for 3 victories and 6 draws. After this setback at Saint James Park, Fulham defeated Fulham 1-0 and brought back a point from their trip to Everton last Monday 1-1. Arsenal has been in the lead since the start of the championship and logically believes in its chances of winning a title which has eluded the club since 2004.

The London team is now 4 steps ahead of its runner-up. Less sovereign these days, the Gunners have let precious points slip away, as evidenced by their current series of three games without a win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Held to a draw by Liverpool 0-0 and Nottingham Forest 0-0, they then lost at home to Manchester United last weekend 2-3.

Liverpool vs Newcastle - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: England - Premier League

For this meeting, Liverpool must do without the senior defender Konaté, the not very prolific attacker Isak, the interesting full-back Bradley and the young Italian defender Leoni, injured. Furthermore, replacement striker Chiesa is not guaranteed to be able to apply. On the other hand, Mohamed Salah (4 goals and 3 assists in PL) is back after his participation in the CAN. In clear recovery of form in recent weeks, the German international Wirtz (3 goals and 1 assist in PL) scored last weekend. He should start this Saturday just like the other offensive players Gakpo (5 goals and 3 assists in PL) and Ekitiké (8 goals and 2 assists in PL).

Newcastle's squad is reduced by injuries to important defenders Schär and Livramento, potentially starting winger Murphy and replacement defender Krafth. In addition, captain Bruno Guimaraes is uncertain, as is solid defender Burn and replacement striker Osula. This week, forwards Barnes (5 PL goals), Wissa (1 PL goal) and Gordon (2 PL goals) all scored. German international Woltemade (7 goals and 2 assists in PL) started on the bench and could again be a substitute this Sunday.

Wolves vs Bournemouth - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: England - Premier League

In a difficult situation this season, Wolverhampton are dead last in the Premier League with only 8 points taken in 23 games. The red lantern is in a very poor position to maintain 17 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation place. The Wolves have still shown a slight uptick in form recently with a string of four matches without a loss, 1 victory and 3 draws. Unfortunately, they ended this positive dynamic last weekend. Wolverhampton logically lost in the den of Manchester City 2-0. Bournemouth is in 13th place in the Premier League with 7 points behind 5th place and 10 ahead of the first relegation.

Authors of a good start to the championship, the Cherries seriously marked time between the beginning of November and the beginning of January. In this period, they have simply not gleaned any victory, 5 draws and 6 defeats. The Andoni Iraola gang, on the other hand, has regained momentum during the last three days, 2 wins and 1 draw. Bournemouth took a point from Brighton 1-1 and used the support of their fans to dominate Tottenham 3-2 and Liverpool last weekend 3-2.

Lorient vs Nantes - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

Beater of Monaco 1-3 and winner last week of the Breton derby in Rennes 0-2, Lorient never ceases to surprise. Its invincibility over the last 8 days (4 wins, 4 draws) allows the outgoing Ligue 2 champion to enter the first part of the table, in 9th place. The Merlus have done most of the work in the fight for maintenance and are ahead of the virtual barrage by 11 points. FC Nantes plunged into crisis last Sunday by conceding a heavy defeat at home against Nice 1-4.

A third unfavorable result in a row for Nantes, eliminated from the Coupe de France by the same Niçois 1-1, 3-5 TAB and surprised by Paris FC 1-2 in Ligue 1. Despite the change of coach orchestrated in recent weeks, the Canaries remain suffering. They are virtual play-offs after losing 5 of the last 6 Championship matches and are 6 points behind the first non-relegation club.

Monaco vs Rennes - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

Without an idea in Le Havre and leaving Normandy with a sad 0-0 draw, Monaco has just gone through a 5th match without a win in the Championship after defeats at Brest 1-0 and Marseille 1-0 then at home against Lyon 1-3 and Lorient 1-3. The Principality club certainly stopped the bleeding but slipped one position down, to 10th place. Behind by 12 points in the top 4, ASM fell behind in the race for Europe and had the opportunity to regain confidence on Wednesday in the Champions League. She had to do well at home to qualify for the play-offs. Rennes has just suffered two poor performances on its lawn: a draw against a modest Le Havre team 1-1 and a defeat in the Breton derby against Lorient 0-2.

6th in Ligue 1, the Rouge et Noir had not gone two games without a victory since the end of October. They have since sublimated themselves and returned to the race for Europe. Habib Beye's players started the year with a 0-2 success in Lille in the Championship and enforced the hierarchy in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Chantilly N2; 1-3.

Paris FC vs Marseille - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

Having become a candidate for maintenance, Paris FC 14th is ahead of the virtual barrage by 6 points after having taken the three points in Nantes 1-2 and being held in check by Angers 0-0 in a last meeting where it hit the uprights twice. Add to these results an exploit in the Coupe de France on the pitch of PSG 0-1 and the promoted confirms that he is starting the new year with performance. OM completed a very good operation at the top of the ranking last weekend. Winner of the clash against a Lens team 3-1 which remained on 8 victories, the 3rd Marseille club came back to 5 points from 2nd place.

The Marseillais are therefore starting a good series in the Championship after crushing Angers 2-5. At the same time, they continued to juggle between domestic work and the Champions League and were able to confirm their qualification for the play-offs, in the middle of the week, on the pitch at Club Bruges.

Dunkerque vs Annecy - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: France - Ligue 2

We will undoubtedly have to take into account this Dunkirk team in the race for the play-offs this year. After having already participated last season without success, the USLD now finds itself at the gates of the top 5 with only 3 lengths behind the 2nd place synonymous with direct accession to Ligue 1. In great form for several weeks, the Maritimes had been able to achieve 4 consecutive successes in the championship against Saint-Etienne 1-0, Laval 1-2, Montpellier 1-3 and Pau 3-1 before falling against a Le Mans team which did not most lost in 15 L2 matches 1-0 last Monday. A tone below its opponent of the day, FC Annecy risks falling a little short if it wishes to compete in the play-offs this year.

However, nothing is lost for this team which is in 8th place in the ranking with 6 lengths behind on the 5th day. Because after losing twice against Le Mans 1-2 and against Reims 2-1 at the beginning of January, the Reds have been able to revive in recent weeks. The Haut-Savoyards have indeed won their last 2 matches against Amiens 2-0 and against Clermont 2-1 to come back within striking distance of the race for the climb.

Troyes vs Le Mans - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: France - Ligue 2

While undefeated since the beginning of November, this Troyes team experienced its first setback of the year 2026 last week by losing by the smallest of margins on the Guingamp field 1-0. The 3rd defeat of the season for Estac which is still at the top of the ranking and which is still 5 lengths ahead of its first pursuer despite this setback. Before this disappointment, Stéphane Dumont's men had performed well by winning against Red Star 1-0 and against Reims 2-1 in the Champagne derby. They also got the better of Bastia in the Coupe de France 0-2. Le Mans, for its part, is still one of the strongest teams in this championship.

Despite its status as a newcomer in this Ligue 2 after many years spent in Nationale 1, this team almost never loses and it has just completed a 15th match in a row without defeat against Dunkirk on Monday evening 1-0. Before this success, Patrick Videira's men had won good draws against Saint-Etienne 0-0 and against Rodez 1-1. Thanks to this impressive series, the Sarthois moved to 4th place in the ranking with only one small point behind 2nd place, synonymous with direct accession to Ligue 1.

Augsburg vs St. Pauli - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

Augsburg is no exception to its rather bad habits this year. Indeed, as often for too many seasons, this team finds itself embroiled in the grueling battle for maintenance where it has very often played with fire. Uneasy since the restart, the Bavarians were swept away in 2026 by Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-0 before being held in check by Union Berlin 1-1 and by Friborg 2-2. But last Saturday, they pulled off a huge coup by toppling Bayern Munich in the derby 1-2 for what was the leaders' first defeat in the league this season. Thanks to this small feat, Augsburg has moved up to 13th place in the standings, now 4 units ahead of the red zone.

Opposite, Sankt Pauli is hardly more comfortable in this championship. On the contrary, the club from the working-class districts of Hamburg finds itself in great difficulty in this Bundesliga since it is only 17th in the standings, with 13 points on the clock, and is therefore relegated. Beaten in their first two matches of January played against Wolfsburg 2-1 and Dortmund 3-2, the Pirates of the League had to settle for a point in the derby against Hamburg SV last week 0-0. This week, they will play a late matchday 16 match against Leipzig.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayer Leverkusen - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

After having had an ideal start in this Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt is gradually losing ground in the race for the Champions League. The Capricious Diva has in fact only won one of her last 7 championship matches and even remains in 4 matches without success against Hamburg 1-1, Dortmund 3-3, Stuttgart 3-2 and finally against Werder Bremen 3-3 last Saturday. In the standings, Dino Toppmöller's men have therefore fallen to 7th position, now with 6 points out of the top 4. This week, a long trip awaits the Eagles in the Champions League at Qarabag where they suffered another 3-2 defeat, thus putting an end to their hopes of qualifying for the play-offs. The crisis is brewing at Eintracht Frankfurt, which is going through a major period of turbulence at the start of 2026. Always the victim of its numerous defensive errors, this team collects poor performances, whether in the Champions League where it will face Tottenham for the honor this week after its defeat against Qarabag, or in the Bundesliga where it is losing track in the race for Europe. Beaten by Stuttgart 3-2, the Eagles were then able to take a point against Werder Bremen 3-3 before falling again at home against Hoffenheim 1-3 last weekend.

From an accounting point of view, the Capricious Diva finds herself in 8th position in the ranking, 5 lengths from the top 6 now. On the other side of the median, Bayer Leverkusen is also involved in the Champions League. After being surprised on the Olympiakos field last week, this team will face Villarreal on Wednesday evening to secure their place in the play-offs. On the national scene, the Usine 11 is in 6th position, 4 lengths from the top 4 but with a match in hand. In difficulty during their first matches in January with defeats against Stuttgart 1-4 and Hoffenheim 1-0, Kasper Hjumland's men found some color last weekend by defeating Werder Bremen 1-0.

Hamburger SV vs Bayern Munich - Saturday, 31 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

After spending many years at the lower level without managing to climb back up, Hamburg was finally able to return to the elite this summer thanks to one last successful exercise. The objective is therefore logically to be able to maintain its place at the highest level for this team which is in good progress since it occupies 14th place in the ranking, with 3 units ahead of the red zone. Beaten at the beginning of January by Freiburg 2-1, the HSV players were then held to a draw by Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-0 and by Sankt Pauli 0-0 last week during the Hamburg derby. Opposite, Bayern Munich experienced a real setback last weekend. While they were leading the score and seemed to have the match in hand against neighbor Augsburg in the derby, the Allianz Riviera residents were knocked down against the run of play and therefore conceded their first defeat of the season in the Bundesliga 1-2.

Despite this setback, Vincent Kompany's men remain well at the top of the standings with 9 points ahead of their first pursuer. Before that, the Bavarians had indeed displayed their power to defeat Wolfsburg 8-1, Cologne 1-3 and Leipzig 1-5. This week, Bayern travels to PSV Eindhoven to secure a 7th victory in 8 Champions League matches.
