This week matches

Coritiba vs Corinthians - Monday, 24 August 2026

league: Brazil - Serie A Betano

Coritiba and Corinthians meet again on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira for a crucial Brasileirão Betano fixture in the 2026/2027 season. The reverse fixture on March 11 saw Coritiba stun Corinthians 2-0 at Neo Química Arena, and the Coxa will look to complete the double on home soil. With both sides sitting in the crowded mid-table, three points could prove decisive for continental qualification hopes.

The home side enters this round buoyed by recent attacking form. Fernando Seabra's squad for the 2026/2027 campaign features Pedro Rangel in goal, a backline marshalled by Jacy and Bruno Melo, and a creative engine driven by Sebastián Gómez and Lucas Ronier. Up front, Breno Lopes and Pedro Rocha have been sharp, evidenced by the 3-2 thriller against Bahia and the dominant 0-3 victory away at Santos. Those results show Coritiba can hurt opponents on the break, yet they will need to be wary of Corinthians' compact defensive shape after losing the reverse fixture 2-0 earlier this season.

Lok. Plovdiv vs Arda - Monday, 24 August 2026

league: Bulgaria - efbet League

Lokomotiv Plovdiv will host Arda Kardzhali at Stadion Lokomotiv on August 24, 2026, for an efbet League fixture kicking off at 18:15 UTC. The Smurfs enter the match sitting in the lower half of the table after a difficult start to the 2026/2027 campaign, while Arda have collected seven points from their opening four matches and currently occupy sixth place. Both sides are looking to build momentum early in the season, and this encounter offers Lokomotiv a chance to bounce back from their recent 0-1 defeat away to Ludogorets.

The home squad for the 2026/2027 season is led by head coach Dusan Kosic and features a blend of experienced campaigners and new arrivals. Key figures include French winger Julien Lamy, Tajikistan international Parvizdzhon Umarbaev in midfield, and Slovenian playmaker Miha Trdan, who joined from Pisa. Between the posts, Bojan Milosavljevic and Petar Zovko provide goalkeeping cover, while the defensive line is anchored by Adrian Cova and Andrei Chindris. Lokomotiv will be hoping their home crowd can inspire a better performance than their recent showing, especially after they managed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Botev Plovdiv in the Bulgarian Cup earlier this year.

league: England - Premier League

The 2026/27 Premier League season opens with a West London derby as Fulham host Chelsea at Craven Cottage on Monday, August 24, 2026, in the first Monday Night Football fixture of the campaign. This marks Xabi Alonso's first competitive match in charge of Chelsea, with the Spaniard appointed on a four-year contract after the Blues finished 10th last season and lost the FA Cup final to Manchester City. Fulham, now under new head coach Álvaro Arbeloa following Marco Silva's departure, will look to start their season strongly in front of their home fans, with the match broadcast live on Sky Sports at 8:00 PM BST.

Fulham's squad for the 2026/27 season features a mix of established Premier League talent and exciting new arrivals, with Bernd Leno between the posts and a defensive line including Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, and USA international Antonee Robinson.

Both clubs have finalized their squads for the 2026/2027 campaign, with Reims boasting a strong roster that includes Joseph Okumu, Hiroki Sekine, Sergio Akieme, Cedric Kipre, and Buta in defense, while Keito Nakamura and Thiemoko Diarra lead the attack.

Hallescher vs Schalke - Monday, 24 August 2026

league: Germany - DFB Pokal

The 2026–27 DFB-Pokal first round kicks off on Monday, 24 August 2026, with an intriguing David-vs-Goliath clash at the Leuna-Chemie-Stadion in Halle (Saale). Regionalliga Nordost side Hallescher FC, who qualified for the competition by winning the Saxony-Anhalt regional cup with a commanding 4–0 victory over Germania Halberstadt, welcome back-to-Bundesliga giants FC Schalke 04. The Royal Blues secured promotion last season by winning the 2. Bundesliga with 70 points, and this fixture marks their first competitive outing of the 2026/27 campaign under the lights in Halle.

Hallescher FC head into the cup tie with a squad built around experienced heads and emerging talent for the 2026/27 season. Goalkeeper Sven Müller anchors the defense, while captain Niclas Stierlin and creative midfielder Joscha Wosz provide the engine room. Up front, Bocar Baro—on loan from FC Augsburg II—and Malek Fakhro carry the goal threat, though the side has struggled for consistency in the fourth tier. Head coach Stefan Reisinger knows his team faces a monumental task against top-flight opposition, but the home crowd will expect a spirited performance on the big stage.

Breidablik vs Fram - Monday, 24 August 2026

league: Iceland - Besta deild karla

Breidablik welcome Fram to Kópavogsvöllur on Monday, August 24, 2026 for a crucial Besta deild karla fixture in the 2026/2027 season. Both sides have named their full squads for the campaign, with Breidablik relying on the experience of Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson, Kristinn Steindórsson and Anton Ari Einarsson, while Fram counter with the attacking threat of Fred Saraiva, Vuk Dimitrijevic and Simon Tibbling. European bookmakers have priced this encounter very tightly, with the home side available around 2.42, the draw near 3.40 and Fram close to 2.75, reflecting how little separates these two teams in the current standings.

The hosts head into this match looking to build momentum after a mixed run of results in July. Breidablik edged past Keflavik with a 2-1 victory at Kópavogsvöllur, and earlier in the month they enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 cup win over Vikingur Reykjavik. However, their league form has been inconsistent and they will need solid performances from defenders Ásgeir Orrason and Ívar Árnason if they are to contain Fram's forward line.

league: Italy - Serie A

Bologna will host Lazio at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Monday, August 24, 2026, in what promises to be an intriguing Serie A 2026/2027 season opener for both sides. The Rossoblu enter the new campaign looking to build on their solid performances from last term, while the Biancocelesti aim to bounce back from a disappointing end to the 2025/26 season that saw them miss out on European qualification.

Vincenzo Italiano's Bologna will rely on a well-balanced squad featuring the likes of Santiago Castro, Riccardo Orsolini, and Remo Freuler, with Jhon Lucumí and Martin Vitík forming a solid defensive partnership. The home side carries encouraging form into this fixture, having gone unbeaten in their final three matches of the previous campaign, including a thrilling 3-3 draw against champions Inter and a hard-fought 0-1 victory away at Atalanta.

Jong Utrecht vs Heracles - Monday, 24 August 2026

league: Netherlands - Eerste Divisie

The Netherlands Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 season continues on Monday, August 24, 2026, as Jong FC Utrecht host Heracles Almelo at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch in Utrecht, with kick-off set for 18:00 UTC. This early-season fixture pits a youthful home side against a visiting team relegated from the Eredivisie last term and now aiming for an immediate return. European odds currently list a Jong Utrecht victory at 4.40, the draw at 4.05, and a Heracles win at 1.57, underlining the clear gulf in experience and squad depth between the two clubs.

Jong Utrecht enter the match with a fresh 2026/2027 squad built around emerging talents such as goalkeeper Mees Eppink, defenders Jamie Schuldes and Massien Ghaddari, midfielders Zidane Iqbal and Noa Dundas, and forward Tijn den Boggende. Despite the promise in their ranks, the hosts have endured a difficult run of form, suffering a heavy 0-3 home defeat to Vitesse and falling to a narrow 2-1 loss away to MVV Maastricht, results that have exposed defensive frailties manager Anthony Correia must urgently address.

Libertad Asuncion vs San Lorenzo - Monday, 24 August 2026

league: Paraguay - Copa de Primera

The upcoming Copa de Primera fixture between Libertad Asuncion and Sportivo San Lorenzo is set for August 24, 2026, at the Estadio Tigo La Huerta in Asuncion. Libertad arrives at this match in excellent form under head coach Nelson Valdez, currently occupying 3rd place in the Clausura standings with six points from two games and a 100% win rate. The home side has strengthened significantly for the 2026/2027 campaign, bringing in Gilberto Flores from FC Cincinnati, Alan Benítez from Internacional, and Thiago Fernández from UNAM Pumas to complement an already talented core. In their recent domestic outings, Libertad demonstrated their resilience with a narrow 1-0 victory over Deportivo Recoleta, a result that showcased their ability to secure points even when not at their fluent best.

European betting markets have made Libertad overwhelming favorites for this encounter, with the best home win odds sitting at 1.39, the draw available at 2.80, and a San Lorenzo triumph priced at a lofty 8.20. The head-to-head history is starkly one-sided, with Libertad winning 11 of the last 14 meetings, including a 5-0 demolition on May 1, 2026, and a remarkable 7-0 away victory earlier in the season. However, the hosts are not invincible, as evidenced by their surprising 3-0 defeat away to Rubio Nu in April, a result that will serve as a cautionary tale against underestimating any opponent. San Lorenzo, meanwhile, has endured a torrid campaign and currently languishes in 11th place in the Clausura table, with their recent 1-1 draw against Deportivo Riestra doing little to inspire confidence among their supporters.

league: Paraguay - Copa de Primera

The home side enters this encounter in strong form, positioned near the top of the Division Profesional Clausura table, while Sportivo Luqueno has struggled for consistency throughout the 2026 campaign. Their most recent meeting on March 27, 2026, saw Nacional Asuncion claim a thrilling 3-2 victory, and the hosts will be eager to repeat that success in front of their supporters.

Nacional Asuncion has demonstrated solid form in recent weeks, earning a 1-1 draw against Sportivo Trinidense in March 2026, playing out a 0-0 stalemate with Recoleta in November 2025, and securing a 1-1 result against Rubio Nu in May 2026. Meanwhile, Sportivo Luqueno managed a 1-0 victory over Sportivo Trinidense in October 2025 but has generally found wins hard to come by, suffering defeats in four of their last five outings and conceding an average of 1.58 goals per match.

Both sides enter this early-season encounter looking to build momentum, with Gil Vicente aiming to capitalize on their home advantage while Casa Pia seeks to improve their away record after a difficult previous campaign.

The home side has assembled a competitive squad for the 2026/2027 season, featuring goalkeeper Lucão, a defensive line marshalled by Jonathan Buatu and Marvin Elimbi, and an attacking unit led by Joelson Fernandes, Santi García, and Héctor Hernández. Gil Vicente's recent results include a 2-2 draw against Rio Ave and a 2-1 victory over Casa Pia in their last meeting back in April. However, they will be without midfielder Mohamed Bamba due to injury.
