Biskra vs Saoura - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: Algeria - Ligue 1

US Biskra host JS Saoura in a highly anticipated Algeria Ligue 1 Mobilis 2026/2027 fixture at the Stade 18 Février, in a clash that pits a newly promoted home side against one of last season's title contenders. The latest news from Biskra's camp shows a mixed start to the campaign, with a 2-2 draw away at Ben Aknoun followed by a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Belouizdad, leaving the newcomers searching for their first win of the season. Saoura, meanwhile, have had a delayed start to their domestic schedule after opening their 2026/2027 season with CAF Confederation Cup commitments in early September, and they arrive in Biskra eager to translate their continental momentum into Ligue 1 points.

JS Saoura carry strong psychological momentum into this tie, having ended the previous campaign in superb form and closing out the 2025/2026 season with a dominant 3-1 home victory over CS Constantine that confirmed their status as one of the league's most reliable sides. The head-to-head record between these two teams heavily favors the visitors, who have won nine of the last fifteen meetings, including a 2-0 triumph in Béchar in March 2025, although Biskra did claim 2-1 home wins in this fixture in both February and October of 2024. The visitors will be without suspended defender I. Bekakchi, who is serving a yellow-card ban, which could slightly weaken their defensive structure.

MC Alger vs Oran - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: Algeria - Ligue 1

MC Alger host MC Oran in Algeria Ligue 1 on 22 September 2026 at 19:00 UTC, in a 2026/2027-season meeting where the early table has MC Oran in the top five and MC Alger still looking to climb from the lower half. The quick turnaround after the weekend round should keep the tempo intense, and with both sides still settling into new-season rhythm, the European-odds profile points to a tight home lean rather than a runaway result: roughly 2.10 for MC Alger, 3.10 for the draw and 3.60 for MC Oran.

The home case rests on familiar names from the MC Alger 2026/2027 squad under Khaled Ben Yahia: Alexis Guendouz or Abdelatif Ramdane in goal, Ayoub Abdellaoui and Réda Halaïmia anchoring the defence, Zinedine Ferhat and Mohamed Benkhemassa supplying control, and Mohamed Bangoura, Zakaria Naidji and Soufiane Bayazid offering the main scoring threat. Their recent reference points are strong at home, including the 2-1 win over Olympique Akbou and the disciplined 1-0 derby success against USM Alger.

Barracas Central vs Ind. Rivadavia - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: Argentina - Liga Profesional

Barracas Central host Independiente Rivadavia at the Estadio Claudio Fabián Tapia on Monday, 21 September 2026, in a Liga Profesional Clausura Round 10 clash that pits two mid-table sides against each other. El Guapo have struggled for consistency of late, picking up just one point from their last three league outings, although their most recent result — a 0-0 stalemate away to Tigre — showed that Sergio Rondina's men can still dig in defensively when it matters. The visitors, meanwhile, arrive in Barracas sitting eighth in the Clausura standings under Alfredo Berti, three places above their hosts, but their recent form has been equally patchy: a 2-1 defeat at Sarmiento (Junín) on 3 August summed up a Lepra side that controls possession yet struggles to convert it into wins on the road.

The European odds for this fixture reflect how tight the bookmakers expect it to be, with Independiente Rivadavia slight favourites at 2.10 for the away win, the draw priced at 3.00, and a Barracas Central home victory at 3.70. The goals markets point even more strongly toward a low-scoring affair — Under 2.5 goals is available at 1.78, while "No" in the Both Teams To Score market is offered at just 1.62, making it one of the shortest prices on the board. Those prices make sense: Barracas have failed to score in three of their last five league games, while Rivadavia have averaged barely more than half a goal per match across their last five away fixtures. Barracas' only away win of the campaign so far came via a narrow 0-1 success at Deportivo Riestra, a blueprint of exactly the kind of grind-out football we expect to see again here.

Lanus vs Estudiantes L.P. - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: Argentina - Liga Profesional

Lanús and Estudiantes de La Plata meet on Monday, 21 September 2026 at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús – Néstor Díaz Pérez, in a Round 10 Liga Profesional Clausura clash that carries very different ambitions for each side. Estudiantes arrive as one of the standout teams of the 2026 season, sitting near the top of the Clausura table with a formidable defensive record, while Lanús are fighting to climb away from the lower half. Latest news from Buenos Aires shows two sides in contrasting moods: Lanús bounced back impressively with a 3-0 away win over Deportivo Riestra, and Estudiantes crushed Gimnasia La Plata 4-0 in the clásico platense, keeping pace with the title contenders as the Clausura enters its decisive stretch.

Recent form suggests a tight contest rather than a goal-fest. Lanús have been Jekyll and Hyde this term — dismantled by Independiente 1 - 3 at home in mid-August, yet utterly dominant in a stunning 0 - 3 away rout of Talleres Córdoba at the Mario Alberto Kempes. Estudiantes, meanwhile, were edged out by Boca Juniors 1 - 0 in their only real setback of the Clausura, but responded emphatically with a 3 - 0 win over Defensa y Justicia, a result that underlined their status as one of the meanest defensive units in Argentina. Encouragingly for the Granate, they won the reverse fixture 1-0 in La Plata back in March, and their H2H record against El Pincha at home has been strong in recent seasons — though Estudiantes' organization under their current set-up makes them far harder to break down than earlier this year.

Nueva Chicago vs Patronato - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: Argentina - Primera Nacional

Nueva Chicago host Patronato on Monday, 21 September 2026, in the Fecha 30 clash of the Argentina Primera Nacional 2026, and everything points to another tight, low-scoring duel at the Estadio Nueva Chicago. The Mataderos side comes into this fixture in solid defensive form, following a goalless stalemate at home to Colegiales (0-0) and a hard-fought draw away to Midland (2-2). The Toros have built their campaign on organization at the back, and with the home crowd behind them they will look to keep another clean sheet against a Patronato side that has struggled badly in front of goal in recent weeks.

Patronato arrive in Buenos Aires after a frustrating run of results, including a dull goalless draw at home to Temperley (0-0) and a narrow away defeat to Almagro (0-1). The Paraná club, currently fighting in the lower half of the Zone B table, has managed just one goal in its last five league outings and has failed to score in consecutive matches. Manager Walter Otta needs a response from his attacking unit, but breaking down Nueva Chicago's compact block at the República de Mataderos is one of the toughest assignments in the division right now.

Cuiaba vs Nautico - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: Brazil - Serie B

Cuiabá host Náutico at Arena Pantanal in a Brazil Serie B meeting that arrives with both sides needing to turn tight draws into wins. Cuiabá’s recent away tests underline the fine margins: a 1-1 at Sport Recife and a 2-2 at São Bernardo show a side that competes well but must be sharper in the final third. Eduardo Barros’ 2026/2027 group is built around Marcelo Carné in goal, João Basso and Alan Empereur at centre-back, Raul and Calebe screening midfield, and Pepê, David Miguel, Rodrigo Rodrigues, Vinicius Peixoto and Fábio Gomes supplying the attacking thrust.

Náutico arrive with a similar storyline: organised enough to stay in games, but short of consistent punch away from Recife. Their road form includes a 1-0 defeat at Avaí and a 0-0 home draw with Juventude, results that keep them locked in the congested middle-lower block of the table. The Timbu’s 2026/2027 spine remains recognisable: Muriel in goal; Igor Fernandes, Mateus Silva, Betão and Reginaldo across the back; Wenderson, Auremir and Dodô or Jean Carlos in midfield; with Vinícius, Victor Andrade, Júnior Todinho and Paulo Sérgio competing for the forward places.

Cheltenham vs Exeter - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Cheltenham Town host Exeter City at the EV Charger Points Stadium (Whaddon Road) on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, with kick-off at 7:00 PM, in a 2026/27 EFL Trophy Southern Group A clash. The Grecians top the group after a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur U21 in their opening fixture, while the Robins play their first group game of the campaign. The European odds ahead of this West Country derby point to a tight contest, with Cheltenham priced at 2.45 to win, the draw at 3.30, and Exeter at 2.80, reflecting how evenly matched these two League Two sides are.

Cheltenham arrive in excellent form, unbeaten in their last five league matches with wins over York City (3-2) and Crawley Town (3-1) alongside draws against Grimsby (2-2), Barnet (2-2) and Colchester (1-1). Their 2026/27 squad has been reshaped intelligently, with summer signings Andreas Weimann, Charlie McCann (already the team's top scorer), Shaun McWilliams, Jordan Shipley and former Exeter captain Pierce Sweeney all making an immediate impact, while loan duo Jake Evans and Kirsten Otchere add pace in attack. The Robins' recent home resilience was on show last season too, including their dramatic 2-1 stoppage-time comeback victory over Gillingham in April.

Chesterfield vs Port Vale - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Chesterfield host Port Vale at the SMH Group Stadium on Tuesday, 22 September 2026 (19:00 BST) in an EFL Trophy Northern Group D clash that pits two League Two sides at very different moments of the 2026/27 campaign. The Spireites opened their group account in spectacular fashion, beating Manchester City U21 5–3 in mid-September after taking seven points from their first three league games, including a hard-fought win at Oldham. Port Vale, meanwhile, endured a nightmare start to the season under Jon Brady — conceding three first-half goals in a 3–0 EFL Cup defeat at Wolves and sitting bottom of League Two after a 3–1 loss at Swindon — before a George Byers penalty finally gave them a first league win of the campaign, 1–0 at home to Exeter City.

Chesterfield's 2026/27 squad has been reshaped impressively by Paul Cook, with deadline-week loan additions Joel Randall (Bolton), Louie Marsh (Sheffield United) and Kiano Dyer (Chelsea) joining summer signings such as Ruel Sotiriou, Fraser Bryden, Jack Simpson, Alfie Pond and George McEachran around a veteran core of Kyle McFadzean, Tom Naylor and captain Ryan Stirk. The Spireites have been stubborn to beat: they were denied victory only by a late Gillingham equaliser in a 1-1 draw at the start of September, and earlier in August Lee Bonis' second-minute strike sealed a narrow 0-1 away win at Salford — a result that underlined their ability to grind out tight games on the road.

Gillingham vs Cambridge Utd - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Gillingham host Cambridge United at the MEMS Priestfield Stadium on Tuesday 22 September 2026 (7:00pm kick-off) in an EFL Trophy Southern Group G clash between two sides now competing in League One. Both teams will field much-changed squads for this group-stage tie, and with each outfit still searching for consistency early in the 2026/27 campaign, this fixture offers a valuable opportunity to build momentum and take control of the group.

Gillingham arrive in mixed to poor form, having suffered a narrow 1-0 league defeat at Chesterfield on 1 September 1-0, a heavy 1-5 home loss to MK Dons, a 1-1 draw with Fleetwood and a 3-0 home defeat to Oldham, with their only recent win a 1-0 success at Barrow. Their cup form has been no better, crashing out of the Carabao Cup first round with a 3-0 home loss to Luton Town in August 0-3. Gareth Ainsworth's men for 2026/27 are built around goalkeeper Glenn Morris, defenders Andrew Smith, Travis Akomeah and Max Clark, midfielders Aaron Rowe, Nelson Khumbeni, Harry Waldock and Jonathan Williams, and forwards Seb Palmer-Houlden, Ronan Hale and the experienced Sam Vokes.

Notts County vs Grimsby - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Notts County host Grimsby Town at Meadow Lane on Tuesday 22 September 2026 (7:00pm BST) in EFL Trophy Northern Group F, a first competitive meeting since Grimsby’s 1-0 League Two win at Meadow Lane in February 2026. The Magpies begin their Trophy campaign after a mixed League One start, having beaten Burton Albion 2:1 and drawn at Luton Town 2:2, so home rhythm and squad rotation will be tested by an organized Mariners side.

European odds make Notts County the clear favourite at around 1.90, reflecting their League One status and Meadow Lane advantage, but Grimsby arrive unbeaten in six across all competitions and have made a habit of tight away performances such as 2:2 at Accrington and 0:0 at Walsall. With Notts conceding in recent league games while Grimsby have kept matters compact, the market favours the hosts without making this a formality.

Peterborough vs Colchester - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Peterborough United host Colchester United at the Weston Homes Stadium on Tuesday 22 September 2026 at 7pm in EFL Trophy Southern Group D, where both sides begin their 2026/27 campaign alongside Luton Town and Ipswich Town U21. The latest storyline is a cross-county loan reunion: Bradley Ihionvien moved from Peterborough to Colchester for the season, while former U's winger Owura Edwards joined Posh, adding spice to a fixture that already carries local bragging rights and early knockout pressure.

Peterborough's 2026/27 squad has been reshaped around Harry Leonard, Alex Bass, James Dornelly, David Okagbue, Harley Mills, Liam Kelly, Ben Woods, Brandon Khela, Ethan Williams and Edwards, with summer additions including Tom O'Connor, Evan Weir, Harrison Jones, Collin Andeng-Ndi, Danny Ormerod, Harry Ashfield and loan defender Josh Feeney. Their recent form is mixed but dangerous: a 1-2 home League One defeat by Sheffield Wednesday was followed by a ruthless 5-1 Carabao Cup win at Watford, then a sobering 4-0 loss at Blackpool that should sharpen Posh's focus.

Salford vs Sheffield Wed - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Salford City host Sheffield Wednesday at the AIG Stadium (Moor Lane) on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, in the opening fixture of EFL Trophy Northern Group A. The Ammies, now under new head coach Peter Cklamovski after Karl Robinson's summer departure, have turned their season around with three wins and a draw in their last four League Two outings, while the Owls arrive from League One sitting second in the table and unbeaten in five league matches. With Accrington Stanley and Sunderland U21s completing the group, both sides will be eager to start their Wembley journey with a positive result in Kersal.

Salford's recent form has been built on defensive resilience and timely goals. After a disappointing home defeat in late August, they responded by beating Newport County 2-1, edging Port Vale 1-0, fighting to a 3-3 draw at Rotherham, and most recently grinding out a 1-0 win over Swindon Town thanks to Joe Powell's late strike, a result you can revisit in our 1:0 prediction, while the earlier home reverse against Chesterfield is covered in our 0:1 match preview. Cklamovski is expected to rotate heavily for this trophy opener, with Michael Rose still sidelined long-term and Abraham Odoh back in contention, while summer signings such as Macaulay Langstaff, Luke Molyneux, Dan Scarr and loanee Taylor Allen give the 2026/27 squad genuine depth for a busy September schedule.

Swindon vs Newport - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Swindon Town welcome Newport County to The County Ground on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, for a mouth-watering EFL Trophy Southern Group E showdown. The Robins, sitting 9th in League Two after a solid start to the 2026/27 campaign, will be eager to bounce back from Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Salford City — a result that followed their narrow 3-2 FA Cup exit at the same venue back in January. Newport, meanwhile, arrive in Wiltshire looking to build momentum after a inconsistent opening month, with boss-level attention firmly on progressing from a group that promises tight margins and plenty of drama under the lights.

Swindon's 2026/27 squad underlines their promotion ambitions, blending experience with youthful energy. Between the posts, Connor Ripley remains the dependable first choice, shielded by a back line featuring Mitchell Clark, Filozofe Mabete and the commanding Stephan Negru, with Ryan Tafazolli adding leadership. The engine room is powered by Gavin Kilkenny and James Ball, while the attack revolves around Irish forward Aaron Drinan — who hit 21 goals last season — supported by the creativity of Finley Munroe and the pace of Joseph Hungbo. Newport counter with a hardworking unit led by top scorer Courtney Baker-Richardson and the industrious Kai Whitmore, whose four assists last term made him the Exiles' chief creator.

Wigan vs Blackpool - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Wigan Athletic host Blackpool at The Brick Community Stadium on Tuesday 22 September 2026 in the EFL Trophy Northern Group B, in what promises to be a fiercely contested all-League One derby. The Latics come into this fixture in worrying form, sitting bottom of the League One table after a frustrating run of results, most recently slipping to a 0-1 home defeat against Wycombe Wanderers. Gary Caldwell's young squad — built around goalkeeper Joe Walsh, defenders Finley Burns, James Carragher and Jon Mellish, and midfielders Max Power, Jensen Weir and Reggie Walsh, with Sonny Perkins and Dara Costelloe leading the line — has struggled for goals this season, and Caldwell is expected to rotate heavily for the Trophy as he looks to spark a reaction from his 2026/27 roster.

Blackpool, meanwhile, arrive on the Fylde coast rivals' turf in far better spirits under Ian Evatt, with the Seasiders among the early pace-setters in League One thanks to a potent attack. Their recent results underline that threat: a 2-2 draw with Bromley at Bloomfield Road, preceded by a sensational 4-0 rout of Peterborough United. Evatt's 2026/27 squad features Bailey Peacock-Farrell in goal, a back line of Jordan Williams, Oliver Casey, Josh Earl and CJ Hamilton, a creative midfield of Josh Bowler, George Honeyman, Albie Morgan and Karoy Anderson, and an in-form strike pairing of Tom Bloxham and Dion Charles. Wigan's defence, which has leaked goals all season — including in the 3-2 reverse at Cambridge United in August — will need to be far more resilient to contain them.

York City vs Rotherham - Tuesday, 22 September 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

York City host Rotherham United at the LNER Community Stadium on Tuesday 22 September 2026 in EFL Trophy Northern Group C, in what is a rapid rematch of the West Yorkshire derby that ended 1-1 at the AESSEAL New York Stadium just a month ago. The Minstermen desperately need a response after opening their group campaign with a disappointing 1-3 home defeat to Newcastle United U21, a result that left Scott Lindsey's side bottom of the section. York's route into this competition was already bumpy after they exited the EFL Cup preliminary round with a 0-2 home loss to Crawley Town in early August, while Rotherham arrive fresh, having not yet played their opening group fixture. Memories of the reverse league fixture will encourage York, however, as Alex Newby's second-half equaliser earned a hard-fought point in front of nearly 2,500 travelling fans.

Both clubs have been busy reshaping their squads for the 2026/27 season, and the new faces are already making their mark. York City brought in Dipo Akinyemi from Derry City, defenders Zech Medley, Charlie McArthur, Zak Johnson and Harry Boyes, midfielders Frankie Maguire and Arthur Read, and Fulham loanee goalkeeper Alfie McNally, while Stevenage loanee Jovan Malcolm has added pace in attack. Newby, York's six-goal top scorer, and August's EFL League Two Player of the Month Harry Boyes are the men to watch. Rotherham, under new head coach Alex Bruce, have rebuilt around marquee striker Paul Mullin from Wrexham, with Tom Bradshaw, Fábio Tavares, Aaron Nemane and deadline-week addition Dominic Iorfa among the headline summer signings, plus loan duo Jili Buyabu and Jayce Fitzgerald. Despite that overhaul, the Millers' away form remains a concern, with heavy defeats such as the 1-4 EFL Cup thrashing by West Bromwich Albion still fresh in the memory.
