Key figures such as João Pedro, who has taken the No.9 shirt, Cole Palmer (No.10), Enzo Fernández (No.8) and Moisés Caicedo (No.25) provide the backbone of a refreshed Blues lineup.

Brighton vs Tromso - Thursday, 27 August 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Tromsø IL to the Amex Stadium on Thursday, 27 August 2026, for the decisive second leg of their UEFA Conference League play-off tie. The first leg in Norway ended in a frustrating 0-0 draw for the Seagulls, who dominated possession and shots but were unable to break down a stubborn Tromsø defence nearly 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. With the tie perfectly balanced, everything is left to play for in Brighton, where Fabian Hürzeler's side will look to capitalise on home advantage and secure their place in the Conference League league phase. The winner will advance to the group stage, with the draw scheduled for 28 August and the final set for 2 June 2027 at Istanbul's Beşiktaş Park.

The Seagulls enter this second leg with a refreshed 2026/2027 squad built around Bart Verbruggen in goal, a defensive line featuring Ferdi Kadıoğlu, Luka Vušković, Joël Veltman, and Jan Paul van Hecke, and a midfield trio of Carlos Baleba, Pascal Groß, and Mats Wieffer. In attack, Georginio Rutter, Yankuba Minteh, and Ibrahim Osman provide the cutting edge, while summer signing Zadok Yohanna adds further depth. Brighton will be eager to bounce back from their final-day Premier League disappointment, having suffered a 0-3 defeat to Manchester United at the Amex on 24 May 2026, which ultimately cost them a higher league finish. However, they have shown their attacking potency at home this year, notably thrashing Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 on 9 May 2026, a performance that underlines exactly what they are capable of when their forward line clicks into gear.

FC Copenhagen vs Inter Turku - Thursday, 27 August 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

On August 29, 2026, Seattle Sounders FC host Chicago Fire FC at Lumen Field in a crucial MLS regular-season clash kicking off at 1:30 PM PT. The Rave Green enter this fixture desperate to halt a seven-match losing streak across all competitions, while the Fire arrive in the Pacific Northwest riding a seven-game unbeaten run that has propelled them up the Eastern Conference standings. With both sides fielding their established 2026/2027 squads, this matchup promises to be a fascinating contest between a struggling home side and an in-form visitor.

Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer will look to his core 2026/2027 roster to turn the tide, with captain Cristian Roldan, Designated Players Albert Rusnák, Pedro de la Vega and Jordan Morris, and forwards Jesús Ferreira and Danny Musovski all available for selection. The backline features familiar faces including Nouhou, Alex Roldán, Jackson Ragen and veteran goalkeeper Stefan Frei, though confidence is low after recent defeats. The Sounders fell 1-2 to Austin FC at home on August 19 and suffered a 0-2 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps on August 16, extending their miserable run of results.

Freiburg vs Motherwell - Thursday, 27 August 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

SC Freiburg host Motherwell on Thursday 27 August 2026 at the Europa-Park Stadion for the second leg of the UEFA Conference League qualifying play-off. The German side carry a commanding 3-1 advantage into the return fixture after Matthias Ginter's brace and a stoppage-time header from Keisuke Goto secured victory at Fir Park on 20 August. Motherwell took an early lead through Regan Charles-Cook but were reduced to ten men when Martin Moormann was shown a straight red card, leaving the Scottish Premiership side with a mountain to climb in Baden-Württemberg.

Freiburg head into this decisive encounter with confidence buoyed by their 2026/27 squad depth under manager Julian Schuster. The likely starting eleven features Mio Backhaus in goal, with Matthias Ginter, Philipp Treu, Jordy Makengo and Max Rosenfelder forming a solid defensive unit. In midfield, Yannik Engelhardt and Maximilian Eggestein provide the engine, while Yuito Suzuki, Derry Scherhant and Niklas Beste support striker Igor Matanovic. The Breisgau-Brasilianer have shown mixed form in recent weeks, suffering a 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Europa League final before bouncing back with a 4-1 Bundesliga victory over RB Leipzig and then falling to a 3-2 loss away at Hamburger SV.

Hapoel Tel Aviv vs Atalanta - Thursday, 27 August 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Hapoel Tel Aviv and Atalanta face off in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League 2026/27 qualifying play-offs on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at the DVTK Stadium in Miskolc, Hungary. The first leg in Bergamo ended in a goalless 0-0 draw, leaving everything to play for in this decisive return fixture.

Key figures in the current squad include Ghanaian striker Emmanuel Boateng, creative midfielder Omri Altman, and defenders Chico and Fernand Mayembo, while the team has also shown resilience in domestic action, as seen in their recent 2:2 draw against Beitar Jerusalem and their 0:2 defeat to Hapoel Beer Sheva.

Hibernian vs Gent - Thursday, 27 August 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Hibernian host Gent at Easter Road on Thursday, 27 August 2026 for the decisive second leg of their UEFA Conference League qualifying play-off, with the tie delicately poised at 0-0 following a hard-fought stalemate at the Planet Group Arena in Belgium. The Edinburgh side will be buoyed by their recent domestic form, having secured a memorable 1-2 victory away at Rangers at Ibrox earlier this month, a result that showcased their resilience under manager David Gray. Gent, meanwhile, arrive in Scotland unbeaten across all competitions this season and will look to frustrate the hosts after manager Rik De Mil admitted his side were "not at the best" during the first leg. With a place in the Conference League league phase on the line, both teams know that extra time and penalties are a real possibility if the score remains deadlocked, adding extra tension to what promises to be a nervy evening in Leith.

David Gray is expected to name a strong Hibernian side built around the experience of captain Martin Boyle and goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger, with summer recruits Jason Kerr, Callum Wright, and Adam Mayor all pushing for starts in the 2026/2027 campaign. The Hibees may still be without defender Rocky Bushiri and midfielder Nicky Cadden through injury, though the home advantage at Easter Road should give them confidence after navigating past Malisheva, Brøndby IF, and Cliftonville in earlier rounds. Gent's squad for 2026/2027 features Belgian international Davy Roef between the posts and a reshaped defence including Hugo Gambor and Maksim Paskotsi, but they will be missing creative outlet Matisse Samoise through a cruciate ligament injury. The Buffalos have proven difficult to break down in Europe, having kept things tight in a 0-0 draw with Royale Union SG in May and conceded just two goals in six competitive matches overall this season.

Hradec Kralove vs Panathinaikos - Thursday, 27 August 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Hradec Kralove welcome Panathinaikos to the Malšovická aréna on Thursday, August 27, 2026, for the decisive second leg of the UEFA Conference League qualifying play-off. The tie remains perfectly balanced after a dramatic 2-2 draw in Athens on August 20, where Abdullahi Umar scored twice late on to rescue a crucial result for the Czech side after Panathinaikos had led through two Andrews Tetteh strikes. With a place in the 2026/2027 Conference League group stage at stake, both teams will approach this fixture with maximum intensity.

For the 2026/2027 campaign, Hradec Kralove have assembled a competitive squad built around experienced heads such as Vladimír Darida, Mick van Buren, and Samuel Dancák, alongside emerging talents like Abdullahi Umar and Filip Cihák. The team has developed a disciplined, counter-attacking approach that has served them well in European qualifying, and the home crowd at Malšovická aréna is expected to generate a fierce atmosphere. The Czech side will need to defend with composure and capitalize on set-piece opportunities if they are to secure a place in the group stage.

Inter Escaldes vs Drita - Thursday, 27 August 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Inter Club d'Escaldes will host FC Drita on August 27, 2026, at the Estadi Comunal in Andorra la Vella for the decisive second leg of the UEFA Conference League 2026/2027 play-off round. The tie hangs in the balance after a thrilling 2-2 draw in the first leg at the Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri in Kosovo on August 20, where Hajdin Salihu and Blerim Krasniqi scored for Drita, while Domingo Berlanga and David López found the net for the Andorran side. With the aggregate score level, the winner of this match will secure a historic place in the Conference League league phase, and Inter Escaldes stands on the brink of becoming the first club from Andorra ever to reach the group stage of a major UEFA club competition.

European bookmakers have priced this evenly contested affair with home advantage playing a key role, listing Inter Escaldes at approximately 2.37, the draw at around 3.42, and FC Drita at roughly 2.98 in European decimal odds. The markets reflect the tight nature of the tie, with both teams showing strong attacking form throughout qualifying. Given Inter Escaldes' impressive momentum and the roaring home support at Estadi Comunal, our prediction points to a narrow 2-1 victory for the Andorran hosts, a result that would send them through to the league phase and etch their names into the history books.

Jablonec vs Rangers - Thursday, 27 August 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

KuPS Kuopio and Shamrock Rovers face off in the decisive second leg of the UEFA Conference League 2026/2027 play-off round on August 27, 2026, at the Kuopio Football Stadium, with the tie locked at 1-1 following a hard-fought first leg at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin. The Finnish hosts carry momentum into this winner-takes-all encounter after Piotr Parzyszek's late equaliser cancelled out Enda Stevens' opener, leaving everything to play for in front of the KuPS faithful. The home side has shown impressive attacking form in recent weeks, highlighted by a thrilling 4-3 victory over Ilves in domestic competition, suggesting they possess the firepower needed to break down the Irish champions on home soil.

Shamrock Rovers arrive in Finland determined to protect their proud European record, though Stephen Bradley's squad has endured a gruelling schedule across multiple competitions throughout the summer. The Hoops demonstrated their character in recent Premier Division outings, securing a narrow 3-2 triumph against Dundalk, battling to a disciplined 0-0 stalemate away to Drogheda United, and overturning a deficit to run out 1-2 winners at Sligo Rovers. While these results underline the Dubliners' resilience and squad depth, the quick turnaround and travel demands could test a group that has been stretched across domestic and continental commitments in recent weeks.
