This week matches

Liverpool vs Bournemouth - Friday, 15 August 2025

league: England - Premier League

The departure of the charismatic coach Jürgen Klopp last summer did not see anything good for Liverpool who finally achieved a great season last year. Indeed, the Mersey club has largely dominated its opponents to win the title with 10 points ahead of Arsenal. The Reds made a very good start before serenely managing their advance during the 2nd half of the championship. The objective is obviously to do as well this season or even better in other competitions. As a reminder, Liverpool lost to PSG in the 8th finals of the Champions League and bowed against Newcastle in the League Cup final. Last weekend, Arne Slot's men launched this 2025/2026 exercise with the upcoming community shield.

Last year, the Cherries displayed excellent arrangements and finished 9th in the Premier League with 9 points behind 7th place. They hope to confirm this season by consolidating their new status within the elite a little more. Going closer to European strapontins appears a credible goal for this club which is built intelligently. Bournemouth began his preparation with 3 Hibernian, Everton and Bristol City victories.

Rennes vs Marseille - Friday, 15 August 2025

league: France - Ligue 1

From a dominant team at the start of the decade, Stade Rennais remains on two average exercises completed 10th 2024 and 12th 2025 in the ranking. Coach Habib Beye took control of the team in the current exercise, allowing the Rennais stadium to quickly move away from the red zone in which he was stuck. The SRFC of Coach Beye will start this 2025-26 exercise with intense pressure on the shoulders insofar as the Breton public wants to find Europe at all costs. On July 10, the preparation started with a draw in front of the Briochin stadium 1-1. The Red and Black fell in the process in front of Brest 2-3, reacted in front of another neighbor, FC Nantes 3-2, and completed the pre-season with parity scores against Real Sociedad 1-1 then the Genoa 2-2. Second in the previous exercise 19 lengths from the Parisian rival, Olympique de Marseille nevertheless assured the essentials by qualifying for the Champions League.

A fair reward after a mastered season despite the first slow months at the Vélodrome stadium. OM pre-season matches made it possible to judge its condition before this shock of the first day. The players of Roberto de Zerbi, winners of Aston Villa 3-1 on Saturday, finished their undefeated preparation. In the previous weeks, they had dominated the Excelsior Maassluis 0-5 and the resident of Liga, Girona 2-0, while being hung by Charleroi 1-1, FC Valence 1-1 and Sevilla FC 1-1.

Bastia vs Pau FC - Friday, 15 August 2025

league: France - Ligue 2

The SC Bastia will play its 5th consecutive season in Ligue 2 this year with ever more or less similar ambitions, namely a presence among the first 5. By finishing in 8th place last year 48 points, it did not go far from the dams for the Corsicans, that said the high level requirement will not give them any gifts in a Ligue 2 where the suitors for the climb are too numerous ASSE, Montpellier, Reims etc. What about the Corsican prep? Overall it was excellent, after 3 successes in front of the Bastia Borgo 1-0, Furiani Agliani 3-2 and Aubagne 3-1, they fell against the MHSC 0-1 before concluding it by a success in front of Amiens 4-2 on August 02. Attached among the relegable potentials each year, the Pau FC does not let go of this League 2, quite the contrary. The Palois club will play its 6th rank in the anteroom of French football.

This year, given the workforce made available to coach Nicolas Usai once again, Pau will have a lot of trouble looking at the top but still surprises. 13th last year 42 points, the formation of the southwest of France was undefeated during its prep. After a success in front of Aubagne 4-1, national and a draw against Toulouse 0-0, Ligue 1, Pau lost to a Liga club, the Sociedad 2-0. Then, Pau signed a victory against Angoulême 1-0, National 2 and a good draw against Elche 0-0, Liga for a victory against Rodez as a last 2-4 test.

Clermont vs Troyes - Friday, 15 August 2025

league: France - Ligue 2

Present in Ligue 1 during the seasons 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, the Clermont Foot had been relegated to the anteroom of Ligue 1 for the 2024-2025 season that the Auvergne club had a lot of trouble completing properly after a success in front of Boulogne 3rd in the dam. After a coherent prep with successes in front of the Villefranche-Beaujolais 2-1, National, a draw in front of Zu Puy Foot 43 1-1, National, success against Rodez 1-2, Clermont defeat against Auxerre 2-3, Ligue 1 and victory in front of FC Annecy 1-0, Clermont had an appointment for his first match of the season on the trip to Dunkirk 4th last year. Not favorite before the party kicks off, the residents of Gabriel-Montpied shared points 2-2. Promised at a galley season in 2024-2025, the ESTAC had finally quickly acquired its maintenance for the following season ending in particular at a beautiful 10th place 44 points in the classification. A good season begins with a good prep as the saying says. At this little game, the Aubois started with 3 successes in 4 games against the Paris 13 Atlético 1-0, National, the Red Star 1-2 and especially ..

. Grenoble 0-5. That said, following a setback against ASSE Saint-Etienne 1-0, then a draw against Dijon 0-0, National, Troyes had stumbled in front of FC Metz promoted in L1 before recovery 0-1. At home during the first day for the reception of the GF38, Troyes played well and obtained the best opportunities. The red card received by Mamady Bangré the Grenoble striker at the 45 'min of play, when the score was of parity 1-1, changed the physiognomy of the game because then Troyes found the fault to win 2 goals at 1.

Grenoble vs Laval - Friday, 15 August 2025

league: France - Ligue 2

On the move on the lawn of the ESTAC as part of the first day of L2, Grenoble had a lot of trouble maneuvering before the Auboise formation. Indeed, outrageously dominated, Grenoble will concede the opening of the scoring to the 8 '1-0 before replicating on a whim from Brangré 1-1, 34' to equalize. This same Bangré will be expelled 10 min later, just before half-time which will change the physiognomy of the meeting on the return from the locker room. Troyes will be the siege of the Grenoble defense for more than 45 min, and will find the flaw on a happy crash that will benefit Martin Adeline 2-1, 75 '. Small reminder on the preparation of the players of Franck Rizzetto who had started it with two defeats which occurred against Servette 0-1 and especially against Troyes therefore 0-5. But they then looked up against Rodez 1-0 and Auxerre 0-0, Ligue 1. The Isérois finally bowed against Puy 0-2, national during a last dress rehearsal before this defeat at Estac. In the first day of Ligue 2, Laval received the ASSE candidate on his ground.

Certainly the match not to be missed with EAG-LE MANS 3-3 which had taken place the day before. Because indeed, there are a lot of spectacle, no less than 6 goals 3-3, a red card with the 96 'of play which will give an excellent free kick to ASSE at the 20 meters which will take, unfortunately for the Greens and fortunately for the Laval stadium, the direction of the wall. A draw certainly but facing ASSE is a solid performance. A few lines to recall the summer friends. Laval can be satisfied with it. Indeed, if the men of Olivier Frapolli fell in front of FC Nantes 2-0, Ligue 1 at the opening, they then remained undefeated in front of lower level teams. After a success at Concarneau 2-3, National and a draw ahead of Rouen 1-1 on neutral field, the Lavallois beat the UNFP 3-5 and Orleans 4-0, National selection.

Telstar vs Zwolle - Friday, 15 August 2025

league: Netherlands - Eredivisie

Will we witness a new victory by Zwolle over Teltar? Undefeated against Teltar since November 2006, Zwolle has been on a long series of invincibility of 14 games with 13 victories in the key, including the last 2 in the 2022-2023 0-5 and 2-0 season. This TelTar training, which went up to Eredivisie at the very end of the past season, started this 2025-2026 exercise very badly. Indeed, the players of Anthony Correia bowed last Sunday in Amsterdam against Ajax 2-0 with only 38% of the ball. This is the 2nd defeat in 3 matches for Telstar after his disappointment recorded against Jong Sparta Rotterdam 0-5 in friendly on July 29.

Zwolle, 10th in general last season, has just beat at home one of the best training in Eredivisie, Twente, on the score of 1 goal at 0 thanks to a realization at the start of the match of its midfielder Thijs Oosting, new summer recruit. It is the 3rd victory in a row in the Dutch championship for Zwolle counting the end of last season and its last two successes at Willem II 1-2 and against Groningen 2-0. This performance in front of Twente puts the protégés of Van der Vegt on good rails because they had been disappointing during their last 3 preparation matches lost against Kaizer Chiefs 0-1, against Vallecano 0-5 and before Portsmouth 0-1.

AFS vs Casa Pia - Friday, 15 August 2025

league: Portugal - Liga Portugal

The upcoming Liga Portugal clash between AFS and Casa Pia promises a tightly contested affair, with both sides entering the match on the back of mixed pre-season form. AFS, playing at Estádio do CD das Aves, have shown flashes of resilience despite recent setbacks, including a narrow 0–1 loss to Moreirense and a 1–1 draw against Rio Ave. Their squad, bolstered by a few summer additions, is still finding rhythm under their current coaching setup. The team’s defensive frailties remain a concern, especially against sides that press high and capitalize on turnovers.

Casa Pia, meanwhile, arrive with a slightly more encouraging run of results. Their recent 3–2 win over Alverca and a 1–1 draw against Benfica B suggest a team capable of both scoring and absorbing pressure. Head coach Filipe Martins has been experimenting with a more fluid attacking setup, and the emergence of young talent from their academy has added depth to the squad. However, inconsistency in midfield transitions has occasionally left their backline exposed, a vulnerability AFS will look to exploit.

Girona vs Rayo Vallecano - Friday, 15 August 2025

league: Spain - LaLiga

What will be Girona's project this season? A season like two years ago which led him to the Champions League where a season to fight for the maintenance like the past season? The fact remains that this season, at home, you will have to be able to offer much more to its supporters since the Catalan training has only garnered "24 points in 19 games at home. At the conclusion, the residents of Montilivi were very little saved last year by finishing 16th with 2 points ahead only on Leganes, first-reproductable. In the department of preparation matches, Girona won half of her matches played 3/6, but there will be two defeats mainly against opponents of larger calibers such as OM 2-0 and Napoli last weekend 3-2. We can add a parity score with Espanyol Barcelona at the end of regulation time 0-0 since the decision was made on penalties ... Opposite, there is a Rayo Vallecano which could be European in the event of qualification in the league conference.

During the week, the Rayo will have been fixed concerning his opponent in a dam to follow. It must be said that the past season, the Madrid has made a very nice campaign while ending 8th with 52 points. Rayo is a very difficult club to handle in its lair but it has been able to win a few games on the road. The preparation was rather convincing for the men of Inigo Perez with 2 successes in 4 friendly games played. Victories gleaned against Zwolle 0-5 and against the promoted in the Premier League: Sunderland last 0-3.

The yellow submarine participated in no less than eight friendly meetings during the offseason for an unforgiving assessment of a single victory acquired, but against Arsenal all the same 2-3. There are three setbacks against Sporting 1-0, the Genoa 1-3 and lastly, last weekend against Aston Villa 0-2. The Real Oviedo is back in the Spanish elite after more than 24 years of scarcity! Indeed, Oviedo had been relegated in the 2000-01 season and had no longer played the slightest match in the elite of Iberian football.

Last season, the teammates of the eternal Santi Cazorla had to go through the Playoffs of accession to the Liga and they rose at the top level by performing a small comeback in the final against mirands. After losing in the first leg 1-0, the Asturias residents caught up with their delay and overflown their counterparts 3-1 AD. The objective will obviously be the maintenance for carboyes which have won only one of their six preparation games, against Cultural Leonesa 1-0.

Ferro vs Colegiales - Saturday, 16 August 2025

league: Argentina - Primera Nacional

Ferro Carril Oeste and Colegiales are set to clash in a tightly contested fixture in Argentina’s Primera Nacional, with both sides hovering near the lower mid-table and desperate for momentum. Ferro, under the guidance of coach Juan Branda, have struggled to convert possession into points, registering just one win in their last five outings. Their recent 1–1 draw against Almagro highlighted ongoing issues in attack, though midfielder Claudio Mosca remains a creative spark. Defensively, Ferro have conceded 22 goals in 23 matches, a stat that underscores their vulnerability—especially against teams with pace on the counter.

Colegiales, meanwhile, arrive with a slightly better run of form, having secured three wins in their last five matches, including a convincing 2–0 victory over Almagro. Coach Leonardo Fernández has instilled a more aggressive pressing style, and the team’s recent performances reflect a growing confidence. Key players like Emilio Di Fulvio in goal and Lucio Castillo in midfield have been instrumental, while veteran striker Andrés Ríos adds experience and composure in front of goal. With 13 goals scored and 19 conceded this season, Colegiales have shown they can edge out tight matches—especially when they strike early.

Gimnasia Mendoza vs Almirante Brown - Saturday, 16 August 2025

league: Argentina - Primera Nacional

Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza enter their clash against Almirante Brown riding a wave of cautious optimism. Currently sitting third in the Primera Nacional standings, the Mendoza side has shown resilience in recent fixtures, including a gritty 1–0 win over CA Mitre and a hard-fought 2–0 victory away to Colón. Under the guidance of coach Luca Medrán, the team has leaned on a balanced squad featuring veterans like César Rigamonti in goal and emerging talents such as Facundo Lencioni on the wing. Their home form at Estadio Víctor Legrotaglie has been solid, and with the crowd behind them, they’ll be looking to impose their rhythm early.

Almirante Brown, meanwhile, have had a more turbulent run, with inconsistency marking their recent outings. Despite a strong 3–1 win over Nueva Chicago, they stumbled against Chaco For Ever and Colón, revealing defensive vulnerabilities that Gimnasia will be eager to exploit. Coach Guillermo Szeszurak has shuffled his lineup frequently, trying to find the right balance between experience and youth. Midfielders Francisco Grahl and Santiago Gauna have been instrumental in transitions, but the team’s ability to maintain structure under pressure remains a concern.

Gimnasia y Tiro vs Deportivo Maipu - Saturday, 16 August 2025

league: Argentina - Primera Nacional

Gimnasia y Tiro, under the guidance of veteran coach Rubén Darío Forestello, have been navigating a season of mixed fortunes in Argentina’s Primera Nacional. Their recent form shows a team capable of brilliance—such as the emphatic 4-0 win over Colegiales—but also prone to lapses, evidenced by narrow defeats to Atlanta and Alvarado. The squad boasts experienced names like Nicolás Rinaldi and Jonás Aguirre, who have been instrumental in midfield transitions, while striker Nicolás Contin remains a reliable finisher. With a solid defensive line led by Manuel Guanini and Gabriel Díaz, the Salta-based club is looking to capitalize on home advantage in their upcoming clash.

Deportivo Maipú, meanwhile, arrive with a slightly more erratic trajectory. Coached by Juan Manuel Sara, the Mendoza outfit has shown flashes of attacking flair, particularly in their 2-1 victory over Ferro Carril Oeste. However, inconsistency has plagued them, with losses to Patronato and San Miguel dampening their momentum. The team leans heavily on the creativity of Rubens Sambueza and the finishing of Pio Bonacci, while goalkeeper Ignacio Pietrobono has been a steady presence between the posts. Their away form remains a concern, and facing Gimnasia y Tiro on the road presents a stern test.

Blackburn vs Birmingham - Saturday, 16 August 2025

league: England - Championship

Blackburn Rovers welcome Birmingham City to Ewood Park in what promises to be a tightly contested Championship clash. Rovers, under the guidance of Valerien Ismael, are looking to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 defeat to West Brom on opening day. Despite the loss, Blackburn showed flashes of their attacking potential, and with new signings Axel Henriksson and Lewis Miller now integrated into the squad, there's optimism brewing. However, they’ll be without Todd Cantwell due to a thigh injury, while Hayden Carter and Adam Forshaw remain sidelined. Ismael’s focus is on building consistency and resilience—qualities that could prove decisive against a Birmingham side eager to make their mark.

Birmingham City, led by new head coach Chris Davies, enter the match riding a wave of renewed ambition. After a successful 2024/25 campaign in League One, the Blues are back in the Championship and determined to prove they belong. Davies has already made tactical tweaks that emphasize possession and pressing, and early signs suggest the squad is responding well. The club has been active in the transfer market, with several new faces expected to feature prominently. While their opener against Ipswich ended in a hard-fought draw, Birmingham showed defensive solidity and flashes of attacking flair—traits they’ll need to replicate against a Blackburn side that thrives on quick transitions.
