This week matches

Newcastle vs Manchester City - Tuesday, 13 January 2026

league: England - EFL Cup

Last year, Newcastle shone in this League Cup by winning the title. Eddie Howe's men are still present in the last four this season and intend to sell their skin dearly against Manchester City. In previous rounds, they used the support of their fans to dominate Bradford City 4-1, Tottenham 2-0 and Fulham 2-1. In the championship, the Magpies got off to a bad start but have shown a real return to form for some time. Now 6th in the Premier League with 3 points behind the Big 4, they remain on three wins against Burnley 1-3, Crystal Palace 2-0 and Leeds 4-3. Last weekend, Newcastle had to work hard to dismiss Bournemouth in the FA Cup 3-3, qualifying following penalties.

To reach the semi-finals of this League Cup, Manchester City defeated Huddersfield 0-2, Swansea 1-3 and Brentford 2-0. Pep Guardiola's gang will have to work hard against Newcastle but has legitimate ambitions in a competition that it won continuously from 2018 to 2021. 2nd in the Premier League with 6 points behind leader Arsenal, the Skyblues display interesting dispositions. However, after stringing together six wins in a row, they drew three matches against Sunderland 0-0, Chelsea 1-1 and Brighton on the last day 1-1. Last weekend, Manchester City crushed D3 club Exeter for their entry into the FA Cup 10-1.

Dortmund vs Werder Bremen - Tuesday, 13 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

This season, Borussia Dortmund has established itself as the best team in the Bundesliga if we remove Bayern Munich, which is fighting in another dimension. The BVB is in 2nd position in the standings across the Rhine but it is considerably behind its Munich rival by 11 points before this 17th day. On the other hand, Niko Kovac's men took 4 points ahead of 3rd, RB Leipzig, despite conceding a draw last weekend against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-3 after a completely crazy end to the match. Before the break, the Borussen had already shared the points with Freiburg 1-1 but they ended 2025 with a great victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0. For their part, Werder Bremen clearly cannot play the leading roles in the Bundesliga this season.

On the contrary, this team risks having to fight over the coming months to maintain the small margin it has in the red zone. Currently 12th, she is 5 lengths ahead of the jump-off. Manhandled in December by Hamburg 3-2 and especially by Stuttgart 0-4, the Werderaner had difficulty getting the machine going again against Augsburg but they were still able to bring home a draw from their trip to Bavaria 0-0. Last weekend, they saw their trip to Hoffenheim postponed due to weather conditions.

Hamburger SV vs Bayer Leverkusen - Tuesday, 13 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

Returning to the Bundesliga last summer, Hamburg's only goal this year is to be able to maintain its place in the elite. The task is clearly not easy for this team which is however on the right track since it occupies 13th place in the ranking with a margin of 4 points on the red zone before this last day of the first leg. Since its last success against Werder Bremen 3-1, HSV has suffered 2 defeats in 3 days against Hoffenheim 4-1, Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 and against Friborg 2-1 last weekend. Bayer Leverkusen, for its part, got off to a very bad start to this new year 2026, losing quite heavily last weekend at home against a great Stuttgart team.

1-4. Despite this big disappointment, the 11 de l'Usine retains 4th place in the ranking but has seen the competition return to its level in the race for the Champions League. Before the winter break, Kasper Hjumland's men had shown a much more convincing face by logically winning against Cologne 2-0 and against RB Leipzig 1-3.

Mainz vs Heidenheim - Tuesday, 13 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

Mainz is playing a very dangerous game this year. Capable of qualifying for the Conference League last May where it will play in the 1/8 finals after taking 7th place in the regular season, this team is however encountering enormous difficulties in the championship. Moreover, the locals bring up the rear in the ranking with a low total of 9 points taken in 16 days. They are therefore 5 points behind the first non-relegation place. Since the arrival at the helm of new coach Urs Fischer, FSV has continued to share points and has just had 3 draws against Bayern 2-2, Sankt Pauli 0-0 and finally Union Berlin 2-2 last weekend after leading by 2 goals.

For its part, FC Heidenheim also presents major reasons for concern about its retention in the elite. Indeed, this team is only in 17th position in the ranking and is therefore also relegated before this 17th day, with 2 units behind 15th place, the first synonymous with maintenance. After having lined up 2 very important successes against Union Berlin 1-2 and Freiburg 2-1, FCH struggled to finish 2025 by losing against Sankt Pauli 2-1 and Bayern Munich 0-4. Finally, last weekend, the visitors had to settle for a draw against Cologne 2-2.

Stuttgart vs Eintracht Frankfurt - Tuesday, 13 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

Currently at the gates of the top 4 of this Bundesliga, this Stuttgart team has confirmed for several years now that it is now one of the teams that count across the Rhine and that it is able to claim a European place year after year. However, the VfB is still capable of some cracking, like the slap received at the beginning of December against Bayern 0-5. Since then, the Swabians have still bounced back very well, winning against Werder Bremen 0-4 then taking a good point against Hoffenheim 0-0. Last weekend, Stuttgart also put out a solid performance against Bayer Leverkusen 1-4 to return to the podium. Eintracht Frankfurt, for its part, displays almost the same ambitions as its opponent of the day.

Just like him, he is indeed aiming for a place in the European Cup next year even if his experience in the Champions League this year risks being cut short after having taken only 4 points after 6 days. Coming back to the championship, the Diva Capricieuse currently occupies 7th place in the ranking, 3 points behind Stuttgart. Winners of Augsburg 1-1 last month, the Eagles then went on to share two points against Hamburg 1-1 and Borussia Dortmund 1-1.

AS Roma vs Torino - Tuesday, 13 January 2026

league: Italy - Coppa Italia

Roma's last title in the Italian Cup dates back to 2008. The Louve club will try to end its drought this season and can count on the support of its fans for its entry into the competition. In the league, the Giallorossi aim to qualify for the next Champions League. They are currently 5th in Serie A and have the same number of points as 4th and 3rd. After losing on the field of Atalanta 0-1, Roma resumed its march forward with successes against Lecce 0-2 and Sassuolo last weekend 2-0.

In the previous rounds, Torino took advantage of the support of its fans to overcome Modena Serie B, 1-0 and Pisa 1-0. The Piedmontese team is obviously not considered a favorite in this Italian Cup, a competition in which it won the last of its five coronations in 1993. Well stuck in the soft underbelly of Serie A, Nikola Vlasic's partners now occupy 12th place in the ranking with 11 points behind the last European folding seat and 9 ahead of the red zone. Falling to Hellas Verona 0-3, Torino then lost to Udinese 1-2 and Atalanta last weekend 2-0.
