This week matches

Chacarita Juniors vs Quilmes - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: Argentina - Primera Nacional

Chacarita Juniors host Quilmes at the Estadio de Chacarita Juniors in General San Martín on Sunday, 20 September 2026, kicking off at 20:30 local time in what is a crucial Argentina Primera Nacional Zona B clash for both sides. The latest news from San Martín is not encouraging for the home faithful: Sergio Rondina's men sit 17th with just 27 points from 27 matches and are winless in their last five outings, scoring only once in that run. Their most recent appearance ended in a disappointing 1-0 defeat away to Ferrocarril Midland, and before that they lost the clásico 0-1 at home to Atlanta, where Alexis Domínguez even missed a penalty. Quilmes arrive in slightly better shape in 13th place with 32 points, although their momentum was also checked last time out.

The visitors from Buenos Aires' southern suburbs were beaten 1-0 by Nueva Chicago on 7 September, a result that followed an impressive 3-0 home win over San Telmo and a 1-1 draw with Almagro earlier in August. Historically this fixture has favoured Quilmes, who have dominated the head-to-head over the years, but the reverse meeting this season finished goalless in May, and Chacarita did hold Güemes to a 0-0 draw in their rearranged July fixture. With both teams arriving in low-scoring form — Quilmes have failed to score in their last two matches and Chacarita have netted just once in five — another tight, tactical battle is expected at the Estadio Chacarita Juniors.

Gremio vs Palmeiras - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: Brazil - Serie A Betano

Grêmio host Palmeiras at the Arena do Grêmio on Sunday, September 20, 2026, in a Brasileirão Série A Betano Round 28 clash that brings together two clubs heading in very different directions this season. Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras sit top of the table with 56 points from 27 matches, boasting the league's best attack and defence as they chase the 2026 title, while Mano Menezes' Grêmio are stuck in 15th place on 28 points and fighting to pull clear of the relegation zone. The Verdão already hold the psychological edge this season, having won the reverse fixture 2-1 in São Paulo back in April, and they arrive in Porto Alegre as clear favourites once again.

Grêmio's recent league form makes for worrying reading, with three consecutive Brasileirão defeats: a 1:2 home loss to Vasco last time out, a 1:0 defeat away to Vitória, and a 1-0 reverse at Bragantino before that. The only bright spot has been the Copa do Brasil, where Grêmio eliminated Internacional 3-1 on aggregate to reach the quarter-finals. For the 2026/2027 season, Mano Menezes is leaning on a squad built around Martin Braithwaite, ten-goal striker Carlos Vinícius, Cristian Pavón, Tetê, Jhon Enamorado and Mathías Villasanti, but the hosts remain without injured forward João Pedro for this fixture.

Vitoria vs Cruzeiro - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: Brazil - Serie A Betano

Vitória host Cruzeiro on Sunday, 20 September 2026, at the Estádio Manoel Barradas (Barradão) in Salvador, in a Brasileirão Betano Round 28 clash that pits 12th-placed Vitória (33 points) against a Cruzeiro side sitting sixth in the table and still chasing a Libertadores spot. The Rubro-Negro arrive after a dramatic 2-2 draw away to Mirassol, where two goals from Renê were not enough to hold on for the win, though they remain unbeaten in their last two league games following the 1-0 home victory over Grêmio (1:0). Cruzeiro, meanwhile, come into the fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Santos last weekend, a result that snapped their momentum after earlier wins over Corinthians (2-1 away) and Flamengo (2:1), while also crashing out of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals to Atlético Mineiro earlier this month.

Team news is a concern on both sides. Vitória will be without Nathan Mendes, Anderson Pato, Camutanga, Riccieli, Edu, Dudu and Rúben Ismael through injury, a long absentee list that has forced the coaching staff to lean on set-piece threats like Renê, Renato Kayzer and Erick, with Marinho, Walace (on loan from Cruzeiro), Rodrigo Nestor, Baralhas and Matheuzinho rounding out the spine of the 2026/27 squad. Cruzeiro are missing Luis Sinisterra, Gabriel Pec and veteran goalkeeper Cássio, but Artur Jorge still has one of the deepest squads in the division at his disposal: Fabrício Bruno and Lucas Villalba anchor the defence, Lucas Silva and Gerson command the midfield, while Matheus Pereira, Bruno Rodrigues, Wanderson, Wesley, Keny Arroyo and Kaio Jorge give the Fox plenty of firepower up front.

Norwich vs Bolton - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: England - Championship

Norwich City host Bolton Wanderers at Carrow Road on Sunday, 20 September 2026 (13:30 BST) in a Sky Bet Championship clash that pits two sides with very different early-season trajectories. The Canaries sit 12th with 9 points and are backed as clear favourites in European odds at around 1.50 for a home win, with the draw priced near 4.40 and a Bolton victory around 5.50. Philippe Clement's 2026/27 squad blends experience and youth: Vladan Kovacevic in goal, a back line of Jack Stacey, Ruairi McConville, Jose Cordoba and Benjamin Chrisene, Kenny McLean and Pelle Mattsson in midfield, and an attack featuring Oscar Schwartau, Papa Amadou Diallo, Andre Brooks and Mathias Kvistgaarden, with Ante Crnac, Jovon Makama and Paris Maghoma pushing for starts. Norwich come into the game on the back of a heartbreaking seven-goal thriller, having fallen 4-3 at Middlesbrough despite a brave performance, though they had beaten Birmingham 2-1 at Carrow Road in midweek.

Bolton, newly promoted via the League One play-offs and sitting 20th with 7 points, arrive under Steven Schumacher with a 2026/27 squad built around Jack Bonham in goal, Eoin Toal and Chris Forino-Joseph at the back, Josh Sheehan and Ethan Erhahon in midfield, and the creative trio of John McAtee, Thierry Gale and Gaizka Larrazabal supplying striker Sam Dalby. Their early Championship campaign showed flashes of promise, most notably the opening-day 2-1 win over Preston in front of a sellout crowd, their first second-tier victory since March 2019, while their play-off pedigree was confirmed in May when Xavier Simons' strike sealed a 0-1 win at Bradford and a 2-0 aggregate triumph. However, Wanderers head to Norfolk with defensive concerns: Akin Famewo and Lewis Brunt are out injured, Luca Stephenson is a doubt, and the away side has already shown vulnerability at this level, conceding heavily in defeats such as the 4-0 loss to Millwall.

Wolves vs West Brom - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: England - Championship

The first Black Country derby of the 2026/27 Championship season arrives at Molineux on Sunday, 20 September at 12:00, live on Sky Sports Football, with Wolves trying to turn late-season frustration into a statement home win. Cesar Peixoto’s 2026/27 squad has leaned on José Sá, Kieran Trippier, Max Kilman, André, Marshall Munetsi, Mateus Mané, Rodrigo Gomes, Raúl Jiménez, Adam Armstrong and Fer López, but the 4-2 defeat at West Ham showed the defensive lapses they must remove before Albion visit; Wolves also began the league campaign with a 2-2 draw against Blackburn and a cup win at Sheffield Wednesday by 0-2.

West Brom head to Molineux unbeaten in five league games after the Middlesbrough setback, with James Morrison’s 2026/27 group organised, physical and difficult to break down, using Toby Collyer and a settled Championship core around the match-winners who produced wins over Burnley, Watford and Derby before the 1-1 home draw with QPR. Albion’s issue is chance conversion rather than resistance: they have kept games tight, avoided heavy away defeats and arrive with the psychological edge of the historic rivalry, but they have not shown the same high-volume attacking output as Wolves at their best.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: England - Premier League

Bournemouth host Liverpool at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, 20 September 2026 (15:00 GMT+1) in a Premier League fixture full of narrative, as Andoni Iraola returns to the south coast for the first time since leaving the Cherries to take charge of the Reds. Liverpool sit eighth with six points from four matches, while Marco Rose's Bournemouth are 15th on three points after a stuttering start. The visitors arrive buoyed by Tuesday's 3-1 Carabao Cup win over Tottenham, sealed by Dominik Szoboszlai's stoppage-time thunderbolt, whereas Bournemouth were left frustrated in their last outing, a 2-2 draw with Brentford in which a goalkeeping error denied Marco Rose a first league win.

Both clubs have reshaped their squads for the 2026/27 season. Bournemouth added centre-back António Silva from Benfica (£25.7m), striker Álvaro Rodríguez from Elche (£25.7m), right-back Juanlu Sánchez from Sevilla and Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio on loan, while Hamed Traorè, Enes Ünal and Marcos Senesi departed. Liverpool's summer was a revolution: Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konaté all left, Curtis Jones joined Inter Milan, and Iraola recruited Bradley Barcola (£106m from PSG), Víctor Muñoz (Osasuna), Jérémy Jacquet (Rennes) and Ronald Araújo on loan from Barcelona. The Reds' depth now features Alisson, Van Dijk, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Wirtz, Gakpo, Isak, Ekitike, Chiesa and Gravenberch, though Barcola and Kerkez are injury doubts after going off in midweek.

Fulham vs Manchester Utd - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: England - Premier League

Fulham host Manchester United in a Premier League fixture at Craven Cottage on Sunday, 20 September 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 16:30 BST, as Marco Silva's side looks to upset Michael Carrick's improving Red Devils on home soil.

Fulham arrive with mixed form from their recent outings, having held Liverpool to a 0-0 draw at Anfield before slipping to a 2-3 home defeat against Crystal Palace, while Manchester United were beaten 0-1 by Manchester City in the derby and denied victory at Everton in a dramatic 2-2 draw despite leading twice.

Leeds vs Crystal Palace - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: England - Premier League

Leeds United host Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Sunday, 20 September 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 BST, in a Premier League Matchweek 5 clash that was pushed back a day because the Eagles are in UEFA Europa League action against Lech Poznań on Thursday night. Daniel Farke's Leeds arrive in outstanding early-season form — unbeaten after four league games (two wins, two draws) and sitting third in the table with a +4 goal difference — while Pierre Sage's Crystal Palace have made a stuttering start to their 2026/27 campaign, collecting just three points from four league matches before heading to West Yorkshire.

Leeds' momentum was underlined on Monday night when they dismantled Newcastle United 4-1 at Elland Road, with Jayden Bogle, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor all on target in front of more than 36,000 fans; you can relive that performance in our 4-1 match prediction review. The only blot on Farke's copybook came in the EFL Cup third round, where a much-changed Whites side fell to a nine-goal thriller against Chelsea, detailed in our 6-3 prediction page, though the German boss rested key men that evening. Farke's 2026/27 squad is built around Calvert-Lewin, Okafor, Brenden Aaronson, Anton Stach, Ethan Ampadu and the in-form Bogle, and that depth should see Leeds name close to their strongest XI on Sunday.

Manchester City vs Sunderland - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: England - Premier League

Manchester City welcome Sunderland to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, 20 September 2026, for a Premier League 2026/27 Matchweek 5 clash, with Enzo Maresca's men looking to continue their perfect start after grinding out a 1-0 derby victory at Old Trafford, where Erling Haaland's second-half strike secured the win despite Phil Foden's first-half red card. City, who also beat FC Porto 2-0 in the Champions League and Coventry City in the League Cup, will be without the suspended Foden and injured Jeremy Doku, but the 2026/27 squad — featuring Ederson in goal, Rúben Dias, Joško Gvardiol and John Stones in defence, Rodri, Enzo Fernández and Tijjani Reijnders in midfield, and Haaland supported by Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo — remains one of the deepest in Europe.

Sunderland arrive in Manchester under Régis Le Bris having learned harsh lessons against top-flight giants, most recently falling 2-0 at home to Arsenal after a resilient goalless first half, and they will rely on the same defensive structure that earned them a 1-1 draw at Brentford earlier in the month. The Black Cats' 2026/27 squad, built around goalkeeper Robin Roefs, defenders Trai Hume, Kevin Danso and Daniel Ballard, midfield anchors Granit Xhaka and Lutsharel Geertruida, and forwards Simon Adingra, Wilson Isidor and Brian Brobbey, will be without suspended Reinildo and injured Habib Diarra and Romaine Mundle, limiting Le Bris's options as he attempts to spring counter-attacks against City's dominant possession game.

Auxerre vs Brest - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

AJ Auxerre host Stade Brestois 29 at the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps on 20 September 2026 in a Ligue 1 Week 5 clash between two sides still searching for consistency early in the 2026/2027 season. Auxerre sit 15th with three points after a difficult August, while Brest are 8th on five points despite a winless recent run, making this an early-season meeting with real momentum at stake in front of the Abbé Deschamps faithful.

Christophe Pélissier's Auxerre have shown flashes of quality, most notably in their 1-0 home win over Nice last weekend, but defensive frailties were exposed in the heavy 3-1 defeat at Lyon. The 2026/2027 squad is built around goalkeeper Mamadou Diop, defenders Clément Akpa, Christ Makosso and Axel Tuanzebe, midfielders Kévin Danois, Arthur Piedfort and Fredrik Oppegård, and the attacking trio of Danny Namaso, Rémy Lascary and Cameron Archer, though defender Bryan Okoh remains a long-term absentee with a cruciate ligament injury.

Marseille vs PSG - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

Marseille vs PSG closes Ligue 1 Matchday 5 on Sunday, 20 September 2026 at Stade Vélodrome, with kick-off set for 20:45 local time, and the early-season pressure is unusually high for Le Classique because Marseille have lost three straight league games after opening with a 4-0 Strasbourg win, while PSG finally broke their league duck at Brest but still sit only on five points from four matches. The visitors arrive with more stability in the market despite that slow start: our European 1X2 odds are Marseille 5.20, draw 4.10 and PSG 1.62, prices that still make Luis Enrique’s side clear favourites even away from home.

The form line points to a volatile match rather than a controlled one. Marseille’s recent league read is 1-0 defeat at Rennes, a home 2-3 loss to Paris FC and a 2-0 reverse at Monaco, while PSG’s latest results are 0-1 win at Brest and a midweek 6-1 Champions League rout of Slovan Bratislava; the common thread is that Marseille are conceding too many transition chances and PSG, even after a 1-2 home loss to Monaco, are creating enough high-value shots to punish that.

Nice vs Lille - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

OGC Nice welcome LOSC Lille to the Allianz Riviera on Saturday, 19 September 2026 (round 5 of Ligue 1), in a fixture that pits two clubs heading in opposite directions early in the 2026/27 campaign. Nice are in crisis under new coach Olivier Pantaloni: winless in the league and stuck in the relegation zone with just two points from four matches, the Aiglons arrive off back-to-back defeats against promoted sides — 3-0 at Paris FC and 1-0 at Auxerre — sandwiching a home 1-1 draw with Le Mans in which Elye Wahi scored their first league goal of the season. Lille, meanwhile, have made a flawless start under Davide Ancelotti and sit top of the table after brushing Troyes aside 2-0 last weekend, despite a 2-3 home loss to Real Betis in the Champions League and a hard-fought 0-1 win at Toulouse.

Team news and squads for the 2026/27 season paint a worrying picture for the hosts. Pantaloni is expected to field Yéhvann Diouf in goal behind a back three of Mohamed Abdelmonem, Youssouf Ndayishimiye and Xavier Mandza, with Jonathan Clauss and Niels Nkounkou as wing-backs, Axel Witsel and Djibril Coulibaly in midfield, and a front three built around summer signing Mohammed Amoura, Wahi and Sofiane Diop. Lille can call on a star-studded squad: Berke Özer in goal, Nathan Ngoy, Alexsandro, Romain Perraud and Tiago Santos in defence, captain Benjamin André anchoring a midfield featuring Hákon Haraldsson and Ethan Mbappé, and a lethal attack led by Olivier Giroud, new €15m signing Ayase Ueda — who has scored in five straight games for the club — plus Osame Sahraoui and Noah Edjouma. Only Hamza Igamane is confirmed absent for Les Dogues.

Paderborn vs Hoffenheim - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

SC Paderborn 07 welcome TSG Hoffenheim to the Home Deluxe Arena (Benteler-Arena) on Sunday, 20 September 2026, for a Bundesliga Matchday 4 clash between two sides still searching for consistency in the 2026/27 season. Newly promoted Paderborn, back in the top flight for the first time since 2019/20 after their promotion play-off triumph over Wolfsburg, sit 15th with just one point from three matches, while Hoffenheim are 13th with three points. The hosts are winless in the league, having followed a goalless opener at Mainz with a 0-1 home defeat to Freiburg and a 3-0 thrashing at Borussia Dortmund, where Fábio Silva and a late Felix Nmecha brace sealed the points. Hoffenheim, meanwhile, bounced back from back-to-back defeats to Köln and Dortmund by edging Stuttgart 2-1 at the PreZero Arena last weekend, though their earlier home loss to Dortmund by 2-3 exposed familiar defensive frailties.

Ralf Kettemann's Paderborn squad for 2026/27 is built around goalkeeper Nahuel Noll and a three-man defence of Jano ter Horst, Tjark Scheller and Mattes Hansen, with captain Raphael Obermair and Laurin Curda providing width in a 3-5-2 system. Santiago Castañeda and Laurin Ulrich anchor the midfield, while Gabriel Vidović supports the attacking pairing of Stefano Marino and Marvin Pieringer, with Oliver Batista Meier, Sebastian Klaas and striker Reno Philippe pushing for starts from the bench. The big blow of the summer was the free-transfer departure of promotion hero Filip Bilbija to Derby County after his 15-goal 2. Bundesliga campaign, and Paderborn have also been hit by an early-season defensive injury crisis. Hoffenheim boss Christian Ilzer can call on an experienced core featuring Andrej Kramarić, Adam Hložek (already on two league goals), playmaker Assan Ouedraogo and wing-back Vladimír Coufal, whose two assists lead the team, though defensive midfielder Anton Stach and striker Max Moerstedt remain fitness concerns after a hectic start to the campaign.

Schalke vs Elversberg - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

Schalke 04 host SV Elversberg at the VELTINS-Arena in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday, 20 September 2026, in one of the most intriguing Bundesliga matchday 4 fixtures of the 2026/27 season. Both clubs arrive in the top flight after earning promotion, but their starts have been very different. Schalke's return began with a 3-0 defeat at Augsburg, followed by a resilient 0-0 home draw against Bayern Munich, before Miron Muslić's side claimed their first win back in the top division, a convincing 3-1 away victory over Union Berlin in which Robin Gosens, Adil Aouchiche and Maximilian Wöber all found the net.

Elversberg, meanwhile, have been the surprise package of the young Bundesliga season. The club from a town of just 13,000 people stunned Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 in their historic top-flight debut, then produced an incredible comeback from 3-1 down to win 3-4 at Borussia Mönchengladbach, before narrowly losing 1-2 to Bayern Munich despite a brave performance. Vincent Wagner's side sits in the top half of the table and has already shown it can trouble any defence, led by the likes of David Mokwa, Lukas Petkov and teenage sensation Maurice Krattenmacher, although Francis Onyeka and Tom Zimmerschied remain sidelined through injury.

AC Milan vs Lecce - Sunday, 20 September 2026

league: Italy - Serie A

AC Milan host Lecce at San Siro on Sunday, September 20, 2026 in Serie A, with kickoff set for 20:45 local time. Milan are unbeaten under Rúben Amorim and sit sixth early in the 2026/27 table after a 2-2 draw at Lazio and a confident 2-0 home win over Venezia, while Lecce are twelfth after beating Monza 3-2 but still carrying the stain of a 0-4 home defeat by Roma.

Milan’s rebuilt 2026/27 squad is built around Mike Maignan in goal, a back three featuring Mario Gila, Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlović, wing-back depth with Pervis Estupiñán and Samuel Chukwueze, and a midfield axis of Luka Modrić, Adrien Rabiot and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The headline summer change is Gonçalo Ramos leading the line, with Christian Pulisic, Omari Hutchinson, Alphadjo Cissè and Francesco Camarda giving Amorim speed and rotation around the striker.
