This week matches

Gimnasia y Tiro vs Atletico Atlanta - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: Argentina - Primera Nacional

Gimnasia y Tiro host Atletico Atlanta in Argentina’s Primera Nacional on 17 October 2026, and the latest pre-match picture points to a tight, low-margin contest rather than an open shoot-out. The recent head-to-head has been balanced, with several draws between the sides and little separation in expected tempo, so El Gigante del Norte should favour structure, second balls and patience over early risk.

Gimnasia’s build-up references include the 0-1 trip to San Martín T and the 1-0 away assignment against Central Norte, results that underline how fine the margins have been. For the 2026/2027 season, the Salta squad profile remains built around defensive organisation, wide discipline and a focal striker, with late team news likely to decide whether they press higher or protect the half-spaces.

Tristan Suarez vs Patronato - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: Argentina - Primera Nacional

Tristán Suárez will host Patronato at the Estadio 20 de Octubre on Saturday, 17 October 2026, in a Primera Nacional 2026 Zona B clash on Matchday 34 — the reverse of the 1-1 draw played at the Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella back in May. José María Martínez's side sit top of the zone with 59 points from 33 matches and boast the meanest defence in the division, while Marcelo Fuentes' Patronato are 16th on 34 points and still fighting to move clear of the relegation zone. The market prices Tristán Suárez as a firm home favourite at around 1.90 in European odds, with the draw near 3.30 and an away win quoted as high as 4.50, reflecting the huge gulf in form and table position between the two clubs.

The home side come into this fixture unbeaten in their last three league games, even if goals have been hard to come by: they were held to a 0-0 away at Colegiales, drew 0-0 at home to Quilmes, and also finished 0-0 against Atlanta — a run of three straight clean sheets that underlines why they concede barely 0.4 goals per game. Martínez has built his 2026/27 squad around goalkeeper Joaquín Bigo, ever-present defenders Mauricio Guzmán and Agustín Baldi, creator Diego Becker, and joint scoring leaders Maximiliano Álvarez (6 goals) and Jonathan Berón (5), with summer signings Brian Aguilar, Alejandro Molina and Sebastián Ramírez adding depth for the promotion push.

Mirassol vs Internacional - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: Brazil - Serie A

Mirassol host Internacional on Friday, 16 October 2026 at the Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia in a crucial Brasileirão Série A Round 31 clash, with both sides desperate for points in the battle to escape the relegation zone. Mirassol sit 15th with 33 points, while Internacional are just behind in 17th place with 32 points, making this a genuine six-pointer at the wrong end of the table. The Leão do Interior come into the match after a narrow 1:0 defeat away to Bahia, where Reinaldo missed a late penalty that would have rescued a point, following a creditable 1:1 draw at Bragantino. The visitors, meanwhile, shared a 1:1 draw with city rivals Grêmio in the latest Gre-Nal, extending their poor away run to nine winless league matches on the road this season.

The head-to-head record strongly favors the home side, as Mirassol are unbeaten in their last three league encounters against the Colorados, including a 2:1 away victory at the Beira-Rio back in April 2026 and a 3:1 home win in October 2025. Rafael Guanaes' squad for the 2026/2027 season is built around goalkeeper Walter and a settled back line featuring Gabriel, Lucas Oliveira and Willian Machado, with Igor Formiga and Reinaldo providing width. In midfield, Carlos Eduardo, Denilson, Gustavo Cazonatti and Fernandinho supply the engine, while Alesson and André Luís lead the attack, with Eduardo (six goals) the team's top scorer despite his recent suspension. Mirassol have scored in each of their last ten home league matches, averaging 1.4 goals per game at the Maião, which gives them a solid platform against an Internacional side that concedes 1.4 goals per away match.

Watford vs Charlton - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - Championship

Watford host Charlton Athletic at Vicarage Road on Saturday, 17 October 2026 in the Championship, with kick-off at 12:30 and the fixture live on Sky Sports Football; using European odds, the market has Watford as the home favourite but not by a wide margin, so the draw still carries real weight. Our prediction is 2 : 1 to Watford, built on home edge, squad depth and Charlton’s tendency to stay competitive without always turning draws into wins.

Watford’s latest form is volatile: they were beaten 5-1 at Cardiff and 1-0 at Bristol City, either side of a home defeat by Burnley, but their season reference point remains the controlled home win over Preston. For 2026/27, Tom Cleverley’s group can call on Federico Ravaglia or Daniel Bachmann, Kévin Keben, Mattie Pollock, Hector Kyprianou, Edo Kayembe, Martín Payero, Amin Nabizada, Mamadou Doumbia, Iker Bravo and Luca Kjerrumgaard, with Edoardo Bove and Kwadwo Baah among the fitness concerns to monitor before selection.

AFC Fylde vs Atherton - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

AFC Fylde host Atherton in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round Qualifying at Mill Farm on Saturday 17 October 2026, with kick-off at 3pm UK time, and the Coasters will begin their cup campaign against a Colls side that has already had to negotiate extra fixtures to reach this stage. Fylde head coach Craig Mahon has warned that cup progress cannot be taken for granted, even though the National League hosts start as clear favourites against lower-league opposition.

Atherton’s route has been built on resilience: after drawing 2-2 at Trafford on 3 October, they produced a far more clinical performance in the replay to win 3-0 on 6 October. Those results matter because they show Atherton can stay in a tie when pressured, but also that Fylde should expect a direct, committed opponent rather than a team likely to sit passively for 90 minutes.

Barrow vs Gloucester - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Barrow AFC host Gloucester City at the Furness Building Society Stadium on Saturday 17 October 2026 (15:00 GMT) in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round, with a place in the competition proper at stake. It is a season of renewal in Barrow-in-Furness: the Bluebirds were relegated from League Two in May 2026, ending a six-year stay in the Football League, and new manager Adam Murray has quietly rebuilt the squad over the summer. His first signing, striker Alex Reid, arrived from Hartlepool United in June, and Murray's reshaped 2026/27 group — featuring Ben Winterbottom in goal, defenders Marcel Oakley, Charlie Raglan and MJ Williams, and an attacking unit led by Reid, Katia Kouyaté, Innes Cameron and Tom Barkhuizen — has responded emphatically. Barrow have won five straight National League matches, beating Aldershot 1-0, Southend 4-2 away, Scunthorpe 3-0, Wealdstone 2-1 and Tamworth 2-1 away, turning early-season doubt into genuine cup momentum.

Gloucester City arrive in Cumbria as the underdogs but with nothing to lose in English football's most famous knockout competition. The Tigers ply their trade below Barrow in the pyramid and will look to frustrate the hosts and spring a qualifying-round shock, a feat National League South and lower-league sides have managed many times before. Barrow, though, know the value of a cup run better than most — their history is dotted with famous FA Cup nights, and after the pain of last season's relegation, a deep run would lift the whole club. Murray has stressed taking each game as it comes, but with £10 tickets flying and a strong home crowd expected, the Bluebirds will field close to a full-strength side from their 2026/27 squad, which also includes Rekeem Harper, Isaac Marriott, Ben Whitfield and Danny Rose among the senior options.

Bedford vs Cray Wanderers - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Bedford Town host Cray Wanderers at The Eyrie on Saturday 17 October 2026 (15:00 GMT) in one of the standout ties of the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round Qualifying. With a place in the first round proper at stake, the Eagles will be backed by a bumper home crowd after the club urged supporters to secure tickets early for what promises to be a compelling non-league cup battle between a National League North side and an Isthmian Premier outfit hungry to cause an upset.

Cray Wanderers arrive in fine fettle, fresh from a 3-0 victory over Chippenham and a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Maidstone, while Bedford Town have been solid if unspectacular on home soil this season. In European odds, the home side are slight favourites at around 2.10 for the win, the draw pays approximately 3.40, and Cray Wanderers can be backed at roughly 3.20 to spring a surprise on the road.

Boreham Wood vs Woking - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Boreham Wood host Woking in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round at Meadow Park on Saturday, 17 October 2026 (15:00 UK), in what promises to be a fascinating non-league cup tie between two familiar National League rivals. Boreham Wood arrive in outstanding form, sitting top of the table and unbeaten in their last five matches, most recently winning 0-2 away at Sutton United, with the team firing on all cylinders under manager Luke Garrard.

Woking, meanwhile, have endured a mixed start to the campaign and currently sit mid-table, although they showed their attacking potential earlier in the season with a resounding 5-1 home victory over Altrincham. The Cards will look to experienced heads such as captain Jake Forster-Caskey, Aiden O'Brien and striker John Marquis to cause problems, but their defensive record this season — conceding two goals per game on average — remains a serious concern ahead of this trip to Hertfordshire.

Bury vs Harrogate - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Bury host Harrogate Town in the Emirates FA Cup fourth qualifying round on Saturday 17 October 2026, with kick-off at 12:30 at a sold-out Salford Van Hire Gigg Lane, live on BBC Sport. The tie is one of the standout stories of this season's qualifying campaign, as two-time FA Cup winners Bury stand just one victory away from a place in the first round proper, while high-flying National League side Harrogate arrive in Greater Manchester sitting second in the table after an impressive start to the 2026/27 campaign. Demand for tickets has been enormous, with the club confirming a sell-out well in advance of the weekend.

Bury's route to this stage has been emphatic at times. In the second qualifying round in September they destroyed Workington 5-1 at Gigg Lane, and earlier this month they edged past Bromsgrove Sporting 2-1 thanks to a dramatic stoppage-time winner from Ollie Harrison, with Modou Touray also on the scoresheet. Manager Dave McNabb will lean on the experience of names like Josh Glendon, Ben Isherwood and Touray in his 2026/27 squad, but the step up in class against full-time opposition is significant. Harrogate, meanwhile, arrive full of confidence after Bailey Hobson's second-half strike sealed a 1-0 National League win at Hartlepool United 0-1 at the end of September, a result that underlined their promotion credentials.

Carlisle vs Tamworth - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Carlisle United host Tamworth in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round on Saturday, 17 October 2026, with kick-off at 15:00 UK time at Brunton Park. The two National League sides meet in the cup just months after trading blows in the league: Tamworth edged the most recent encounter 2-1 in March 2026, while Carlisle took the reverse fixture 2-1 in November 2025, so both teams know exactly what to expect from one another. With a place in the first round proper at stake, Carlisle boss Rob Elliot will be demanding a professional performance from his side against a Tamworth team that has already shown it can hurt the Cumbrians this calendar year.

Recent form suggests Carlisle are the more reliable outfit, unbeaten in three of their last five league games, including an impressive 3-1 away win at Aldershot and a 2-0 victory at AFC Fylde, though their home form has been patchy with draws against Kidderminster and Southend. Tamworth arrive in mixed form: they climbed out of the relegation zone with a disciplined 2-0 home win over Sutton United in late September, but their away record remains a serious concern, having lost five of their last seven matches on the road. In European odds, Carlisle are clear favourites at 1.59, the draw is priced at 4.30, and an away win for Tamworth is available at 5.40, reflecting the gulf in consistency between the sides.

Chesham vs Forest Green - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Chesham host Forest Green at The Meadow on Saturday 17 October 2026 in an FA Cup fourth qualifying round tie that pits National League South’s Generals against National League opposition, with the winners moving into the first round proper. Chesham’s latest home outing was a harsh reality check as they lost 0-5 to Chelmsford City, but their previous result was a high-scoring 4-3 win over Real Bedford, showing that James Duncan and Michael Murray’s 2026/27 squad can still create chaos going forward even when the defensive line is stretched.

Forest Green arrive as the stronger league side on paper and as the clear market favourite in European odds, with the away win expected to sit around the 1.60 mark, the draw near 4.00 and Chesham closer to 5.00. Their season has not been smooth, however: a 2-4 defeat followed a 1-1 draw with Wealdstone, leaving Robbie Savage’s group looking for authority rather than possession for possession’s sake, and their 1-1 Altrincham reminder from January underlines that even favoured National League teams can be dragged into tight, physical cup games by organised opponents.

Chorley vs Worcester - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Chorley vs Worcester City headlines this weekend's FA Cup action as the two non-league sides meet in the Fourth Qualifying Round at Victory Park on Saturday, 17 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm. The Magpies, who currently compete in the National League North, booked their place in this round after an impressive run that included a 4-1 away win at Barton Town and a 1-0 victory at Warrington Rylands, while Worcester City arrive in fine cup form themselves following a 3-1 win at Kettering Town and a 2-1 success against Stratford Town. A place in the FA Cup First Round Proper is at stake, and with both clubs having sold tickets quickly, a lively atmosphere is expected in Lancashire.

In terms of European odds for the match, Chorley are clear favourites at 1.61 to win on home soil, the draw is priced at 4.20, while an away upset for Worcester City is available at 5.60. The bookmakers' view reflects the gulf in league status, as Chorley play a level above Worcester City in the English pyramid, and the hosts have also been strong in front of their own fans this season, averaging close to two goals per home game.

Dover vs Dorking - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Dover Athletic and Dorking Wanderers renew their rivalry on Saturday 17 October 2026 in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round, with kick-off at 3pm at the Megger Community Stadium (Crabble). It is the second successive Saturday the two National League South sides meet, after sharing a dramatic 1-1 league draw last weekend in front of 985 supporters at Crabble, where Alfie Rutherford's 57th-minute strike was cancelled out by Jack Bates' stoppage-time penalty rebound. This time, a place in the FA Cup First Round Proper is at stake, and Jake Leberl's Whites are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions as they look to make home advantage count.

Dover's route to this stage has been impressive, following up their win over Folkestone Invicta with a 2-1 victory away at Hanwell Town in the previous round, sealed by goals from Luke Baptiste and Decarrey Sheriff. Dorking Wanderers, managed by Marc White, have had a more turbulent cup journey: they needed a replay to get past Southall after a 2-2 draw, eventually prevailing 5-4 after extra time, before Harry Pinchard scored directly from a corner to secure a 1-0 win at Chatham Town in the Third Qualifying Round. The Wanderers remain unbeaten since August and arrive full of attacking confidence.

Gateshead vs Stafford - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Gateshead host Stafford Rangers at the Gateshead International Stadium on Saturday 17 October 2026 (15:00 GMT) in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round Qualifying, with the winners booking a place in the competition proper. It has been a turbulent campaign so far for the National League side, who sit bottom of the table with just four points from thirteen league games following a 4-1 defeat at FC Halifax Town and a penalty shoot-out exit against Wolverhampton Wanderers U21 earlier this week. Caretaker manager Ben Clark has called on his 2026/27 squad — built around goalkeeper Noah Phillips, defenders David Ferguson and Ben Williams, midfielders Sam Bowen, Harry Chapman and Alfie McCalmont, and forwards Dom Telford, Billy Chadwick and Luke Supyk — to treat the cup as a welcome distraction from their league struggles, though the club's off-field wage concerns continue to loom in the background.

Stafford Rangers, managed by Graham Deakin, arrive from the Northern Premier League full of confidence after battling through the qualifying rounds, most notably eliminating Halesowen Town following a 1:1 home draw and a 1:2 away victory in the replay. The visitors will lean on the experience of goalkeeper Russell Saunders, defenders Andy Burns, Anis Zaknoune, Harvey Washington and Joe Dunne, midfielders Tom Tonks, Joe Thompson and Jack Birch, and attacking duo Kyle Sambor and Scott Bakkor. While Gateshead are two divisions above the Rangers, the gap in current form is far narrower than the league ladder suggests — the Tynesiders have lost the majority of their matches this season, including a sobering 0:1 home defeat to Altrincham at the end of September.

Harborough vs Spennymoor - Saturday, 17 October 2026

league: England - FA Cup

Harborough Town host Spennymoor Town at the Beehive on Saturday 17 October 2026, 3:00pm kick-off, in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round, with a place in the coveted First Round Proper at stake. The Bees are in excellent form on home soil, coming off a confident 3-2 victory over St Albans and a hard-fought 1-0 win against Southport, while Spennymoor arrive on the back of a free-scoring run that includes a 4-1 triumph over Chester and a crushing 0-4 away win at Emley. European odds for this fourth qualifying round tie currently price a Harborough home win at 2.10, the draw at 3.40, and a Spennymoor away victory at 3.20, reflecting how tight the bookmakers expect this contest to be.

Both clubs have settled squads for the 2026/2027 campaign, with Harborough's management keeping the spine of last season's side intact and adding fresh legs in wide areas to support their high-tempo pressing game at the Beehive. Spennymoor have likewise retained their attacking core, and their forward line has been among the most productive in the division this term, netting eight goals across their last two outings. The Moors' only recent blemish was a surprising home defeat, which suggests they can be vulnerable when forced to chase a game, whereas Harborough's defensive organisation at home has been a defining feature of their early-season form.
