This week matches

Arsenal vs Sunderland - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: England - Premier League

Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League, 6 points ahead of their closest pursuer. Waiting for a championship title since 2004, the London team has a great opportunity to end its long drought. The Gunners recently let valuable points slip away with a string of three games without a win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. They brilliantly resumed their march forward at Leeds last weekend 0-4. Author of a faultless record in the Champions League with 8 victories, Arsenal took 1st place and will be present at the meeting in the round of 16.

A nice surprise for this 2025/2026 financial year, Sunderland now occupies 8th place in the Premier League with 4 points behind the last European folding seat. The promoted team was more expected in the fight not to go down but has earned the right to dream in this second part of the season. Difficult to maneuver, the Black Cats have only lost 2 of their last 9 championship matches, for 3 wins and 4 draws. Beaten on West Ham's pitch 3-1, Sunderland then got the better of Burnley last Monday 3-0.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: England - Premier League

Bournemouth are currently 12th in the Premier League and are 7 points behind in 5th place. Authors of a good start to the championship, the Cherries then seriously fell into line. Indeed, they did not achieve any success between the beginning of November and the beginning of January, 5 draws and 6 defeats. On the other hand, the Andoni Iraola gang has resumed its march forward since, as evidenced by its current series of four matches without a setback, 3 victories and 1 draw. Held in check at Brighton 1-1, Bournemouth otherwise won against Tottenham 3-2, Liverpool 3-2 and Wolverhampton last weekend 0-2.

Aston Villa today occupies 3rd place in the Premier League with 7 points behind the leader and 6 ahead of 5th place, not qualifying for the next Champions League. Less sovereign in recent weeks, the Villans have conceded 3 losses in the last 6 days, for 2 victories and 1 draw. After winning in the den of Newcastle 0-2, they fell again, despite the support of their fans, against Brentford last weekend 0-1. In the Europa League, Aston Villa finished in 2nd place and therefore booked their ticket for the round of 16.

Burnley vs West Ham - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: England - Premier League

In great difficulty for its return to the elite, Burnley is currently 19th in the Premier League and is 11 points behind the first non-relegation team. The Clarets are likely to have a lot of difficulty in securing maintenance and the dynamic does not encourage optimism. Indeed, they have not won any of their last fifteen league matches, 5 draws and 10 defeats. After having managed to share the points with Manchester United 2-2, Liverpool 1-1 and Tottenham 2-2, Burnley fell back heavily at Sunderland last Monday 3-0. Not necessarily expected so much this season, West Ham today occupies 18th place in the Premier League with 6 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation place.

After going ten games without a win, 4 games and 6 defeats, the Hammers have found some momentum recently. Indeed, they took over Tottenham 1-2 and Sunderland 3-1. Last weekend, West Ham unfortunately let a 2-goal advantage slip away and ultimately lost at Chelsea following a goal conceded in added time 3-2.

Fulham vs Everton - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: England - Premier League

Fulham now occupies 9th place in the Premier League, 6 points behind the bottom European seat. The London team needed time to find the right fuel. On the other hand, the Cottagers have clearly increased their level for several weeks now. After going six games without a loss, 4 wins and 2 draws, they fell to Leeds 1-0. Since then, Fulham took advantage of the support of their fans to beat Brighton 2-1 and lost at Manchester United last weekend following a goal conceded in added time 3-2.

Everton is currently 10th in the Premier League and has the same number of points as its opponent of the day. The Toffees aren't losing much these days but are still taking small steps forward. Thus, they have only pocketed 2 victories in the last 7 days, for 4 draws and 1 defeat. After creating a surprise by winning on the lawn of Aston Villa 0-1, Everton was forced to share the points with Leeds 1-1 and Brighton last weekend 1-1.

Manchester Utd vs Tottenham - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: England - Premier League

4th in the Premier League with 1 point ahead of 5th place, Manchester United maintains the hope of qualifying for the next Champions League. Since the arrival on the bench of Michael Carrick, the Red Devils have been living a real fairy tale. They first made their mark by paying off two big names: Manchester City 2-0 and Arsenal 2-3. Last weekend, Manchester United had to work hard to maintain their good momentum but found the resources to dominate Fulham thanks to a goal scored at the end of added time 3-2. Like the previous year, Tottenham is not meeting expectations this season.

The London team currently occupies 14th place in the Premier League, 11 points behind the last European side and 9 ahead of the first relegated team. On the tough side, Spurs have not won any of their last six league games, 4 draws and 2 defeats. After losing to Bournemouth 3-2 and West Ham 1-2, they shared points with Burnley 2-2 and Manchester City last weekend 2-2. More to their advantage in the Champions League, Tottenham finished in 4th place and is therefore waiting to know the identity of their opponent in the round of 16.

Newcastle vs Brentford - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: England - Premier League

Expected in the battle for the Big 4 this season, Newcastle does not meet expectations and today occupies 11th place in the Premier League with 7 points behind 5th place. Eddie Howe's men will therefore have to raise the bar to secure European qualification. After having had three victories in a row, they fell back into their bad habits during the last three days. Held to a draw at bottom side Wolverhampton 0-0, the Magpies then lost to Aston Villa 0-2 and Liverpool last weekend 4-1. 12th in the Champions League, Newcastle will face Qarabag in the round of 16. Not expected so high this season, Brentford are currently 7th in the Premier League and are 3 points ahead of their opponent of the day.

The Bees showed a very good appearance between mid-December and early January. Indeed, they have had six matches without a loss in the championship, 4 wins and 2 draws. The two defeats suffered against Chelsea 2-0 and Nottingham Forest 0-2 put an end to this great dynamic. However, Brentford responded brilliantly by winning at Aston Villa last weekend 0-1.

Wolves vs Chelsea - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: England - Premier League

Wolverhampton are experiencing a real nightmare this season and occupy last place in the Premier League with only 8 points taken in 24 games. We do not see how the red lantern could avoid the drop 18 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation. The Wolves showed a brief upswing recently with a string of four games without defeat, 1 victory and 3 draws. Unfortunately, they have started a bad dynamic again since then. Wolverhampton lost to Manchester City 2-0 and to Bournemouth last weekend 0-2. Checkered results led to the dismissal of coach Enzo Maresca at the end of December.

Under the orders of Liam Rosenior, the London team has regained color, as evidenced by the 6 successes gleaned in all competitions, for 2 defeats. In the league, the Blues got the better of Brentford 2-0, Crystal Palace 1-3 and West Ham last weekend 3-2. This allows them to occupy 5th place in the Premier League today, 1 point behind the Big 4. This week, they lost at Arsenal 1-0 and were thus eliminated in the semi-final of the League Cup, losing 2-3 in the first leg. 6th in the Champions League, Chelsea qualified directly for the round of 16.

Brest vs Lorient - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

Defeated in Lyon 2-1 and at home by Toulouse 0-2, Stade Brestois thought it would put an end to its bad patch last weekend on the Nice pitch. While ahead at halftime 0-2, the Ti-Zefs however scuttled in the second half and left the Côte d'Azur with a 2-2 draw. They were relegated to 12th place before the weekend's matches but remain 9 points ahead of the virtual play-off. The SB 29 will nevertheless have to react quickly so as not to have to watch its back at the end of the season.  Undefeated for 11 games, FC Lorient could extend its series on Wednesday against Paris FC, with qualification for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France at stake.

As for their campaign in Ligue 1, the Merlus continued last weekend, against Nantes 2-1, a third victory after those gleaned with character in Monaco 1-3 and Rennes 0-2. 9th in the ranking with already 14 points ahead of the virtual play-off, the outgoing Ligue 2 champion has practically validated his retention, the objective he set at the start of the season. He may even find himself dreaming of qualifying for a European Cup given the 4 lengths that separate him from the top 5.

Lens vs Rennes - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

By beating Le Havre by the smallest of margins 1-0 on the last day, Lens showed that its fall to Marseille 3-1 two weeks ago, putting an end to its record series of 10 victories in all competitions, did not deviate from its trajectory. Dispossessed of the leadership chair by PSG, the Artesian club is 2 points behind and ahead of its closest pursuer, OM, by 7 lengths. It has become a serious contender for qualification for the Champions League over the months and has the co-best defense of the year with PSG. Lens played a qualifier for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France on Wednesday at Troyes L2. Rennes is one of the Ligue 1 teams in difficulty at the start of the year.

Since its sad draw conceded at home against Le Havre 1-1, the Rouge et Noir club suffered the law of its Breton neighbor Lorient 0-2, still on its lawn, and was shattered in Monaco 4-0 last weekend. With one point taken out of 9 possible, he is relegated to 8 points from the top 4 and sees his chances of qualifying for the Champions League seriously diminishing. Rennes was unable to remobilize on Tuesday at the Vélodrome stadium. Led by OM from the 2nd minute and beaten 3-0, they left the Coupe de France at the round of 16 stage.

Nantes vs Lyon - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

The weeks follow one another and are similar for FC Nantes, defeated last weekend in Lorient 2-1. Ahmed Kantari's players, however, thought they had done the hardest part by coming back to score before a second Lorient goal registered on the gong. Beaten in previous matches by Paris FC 1-2 and Nice 1-4, they therefore remain with 3 losses in the Championship and are sinking a little deeper into the crisis. 16th in Ligue 1, in place of virtual play-off, Nantes is 6 points behind the first non-relegation club.

 Winner last Sunday of a top-of-the-table shock against Lille 1-0, Lyon achieved a 10th consecutive victory, the 5th in Ligue 1 after those obtained against Le Havre 1-0, Monaco 1-3, Brest 2-1 and Metz 2-5. The Rhone club, which returned to the level of OM in 3rd after 20 days, continues its rise in the ranking and is applying for direct qualification for the next Champions League. OL were able to maintain their streak on Wednesday in the Coupe de France, when they hosted Laval L2 for a place in the quarter-finals.

St Etienne vs Montpellier - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: France - Ligue 2

Be careful not to miss out on their goals for AS Saint-Etienne. Announced as the huge favorite to reach Ligue 1 at the end of the season, this team has nevertheless been playing with fire for some time, losing numerous points against teams that are sometimes inferior on paper. Hung out by Le Mans 0-0, the Greens were then able to win against Clermont before falling to Reims 1-0 then to Boulogne 0-1. This led to the departure of coach Horneland who was replaced in recent days by Philippe Montanier. In the standings, the Forez players maintain 5th place but they only have a 2-point margin over their first pursuer.

Just like their opponent of the day, Montpellier played in the elite last season and also wants to be able to get back there fairly quickly. That said, nothing has yet been done for this team which is only in 9th place in the ranking, 3 units behind the Greens who are the last virtually qualified for the play-offs. After starting the year with 2 defeats against Dunkirk 1-3 and Boulogne 1-0, the Héraultais resumed their march forward over the last 2 weeks by winning against Bastia 0-2 then against Guingamp 3-1 last weekend. This week, they travel to Nice for a match in the 1/8 finals of the Coupe de France.

Freiburg vs Werder Bremen - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

Often present in Europe in recent years, Friborg won the 7th final place last week in the league phase of the Europa League, which allows it to avoid the play-offs and to be able to play in the 1/8 finals next month. Good news for this team which will therefore be able to concentrate on the championship where it is not quite in the fight for the top 6. 7th in the ranking before the start of this 21st day, the Black Forest club is 8 points behind the 6th place occupied by Bayer Leverkusen. After being able to win against Cologne 2-1, the Brazilians from Brigsau were defeated last week by a good team from Stuttgart 1-0.

Opposite, Werder Bremen is right to be worried about its survival in the elite. Much less visible than in the last two seasons, this team is only in an uncomfortable 15th place in the standings, with only a small point ahead of the play-off team, Mainz. Very worrying since the winter break, the Werderaner have only taken 2 points in the last 5 days played against Dortmund 3-0, Frankfurt 3-3, Bayer Leverkusen 1-0, Hoffenheim 0-2 and finally Mönchengladbach 1-1 last weekend by equalizing after added time.

Heidenheim vs Hamburger SV - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

This does not look good for Heidenheim in the race to maintain. In great difficulty this season, the locals bring up the rear in the standings with only 13 points accumulated during the first 20 days played this season. Even more worrying, they are now 6 units behind the first non-relegation place after a still difficult start in 2026. As proof, the FCH has just suffered 3 defeats in its last 4 matches played against Mainz 2-1, Wolfsburg 1-1, Leipzig 0-3 and finally Dortmund 3-2 last weekend. Just like its opponent of the day, Hamburg is aiming for nothing other than maintaining this season. for his return to the elite after very long years of absence.

But unlike Heidenheim, the visitors did not jeopardize their chances of being able to achieve their objective. Indeed, the Hamburgers occupy 13th place in the ranking and they are therefore virtually in good transition times. That said, HSV cannot afford to relax as they only have a one-point lead over the jump-off. It must be said that this team has been moving slowly for some time since it has had a string of draws like against Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-0, Sankt Pauli 0-0 and Bayern Munich 2-2 last week.

Mainz vs Augsburg - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

While we thought they were very poorly engaged in the fight for maintenance a few weeks ago, this Mainz team is in the process of defying the prognosticators and regaining hope. Indeed, since the arrival at the helm of Urs Fischer, the FSV has shown itself to be much more solid and has just recorded 3 successes in the last 4 matches played against Heidenheim 2-1, Cologne defeated 2-1, Wolfsburg 3-1 and finally against Leipzig 1-2 last weekend. These excellent results have therefore allowed the Nullfünfer to move up to 16th place in the ranking and to be only a small point behind the first non-relegation team. Oppositely, Augsburg must also ensure that it maintains a margin in the red zone this season. Less prominent than last year, this team occupies 11th place in the ranking but it only has a 4-length margin over its opponent of the day.

Consequently, Sandro Wagner's men do not really have the opportunity to relax their grip in this second part of the exercise. However, things have been going quite well lately for the Bavarians who have not lost in 4 games. And after being held in check by Union Berlin 1-1 and by Friborg 2-2, they had two very important successes against Bayern 1-2 and against Sankt Pauli 2-1.

St. Pauli vs Stuttgart - Saturday, 07 February 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

Back in the Bundesliga since last year, Sankt Pauli will have to seriously roll up their sleeves to maintain their place among the elite of German football. Indeed, before the start of this 21st day, this team is only in 17th place in the ranking and is 5 units behind the first non-relegation team. Far too average in a lot of areas of the game, the Pirates of the League have still not won in 2026. And after being able to hold off Hamburg 0-0 and Leipzig 1-1, they lost last week at Augsburg 2-1. This week, the club from the popular districts of Hamburg faced Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals of the German Cup.

Just like its opponent of the day, Stuttgart was on deck in the German Cup this week with a seemingly affordable meeting against Holstein Kiel, residents of the 2nd division. In the championship on the other hand, everything is going well for VfB which is at the foot of the podium, 3 points behind 3rd, Hoffenheim. In great shape at the start of 2026, the visitors won 4 of their first 5 league matches against Bayer Leverkusen 1-4, Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2, Union Berlin 1-1, Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-3 and Freiburg 1-0 last weekend.
