Aurora vs Universitario de Vinto - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: Bolivia - Division Profesional

Aurora host Universitario de Vinto at the Estadio Félix Capriles on November 9, 2026, in one of the most eye-catching fixtures of this year's Bolivia División Profesional campaign, and everything about the matchup points towards a high-scoring home win. The Cochabamba side comes into this clash as the clear favourite, with European odds pricing an Aurora victory at 1.40, the draw at 4.60 and an away win for Universitario de Vinto as high as 7.50, numbers that reflect the altitude advantage of the Félix Capriles, Aurora's far deeper 2026/27 squad and the visitors' well-documented struggles against top-half opposition on the road. Our prediction for this match is a convincing 3:1 home win, a scoreline built on Aurora's attacking depth, the altitude factor that has punished visiting teams in Cochabamba for decades, and Universitario de Vinto's tendency to concede early when pressed high up the pitch. Aurora's latest results have been mixed rather than spectacular, but the underlying performances have been dominant in terms of possession and chances created, and with the season entering its decisive stretch, the home side knows that anything less than three points here would complicate its ambitions near the top of the table.

Aurora's 2026/27 squad is arguably the most balanced roster in Bolivian football right now, blending experienced campaigners with exciting young talent. In goal, Rùben Cordano remains the reliable last line, while the defensive unit features veterans such as Luis Barboza and the Argentine Julián Velázquez, whose leadership has been crucial in tight games. The engine room is where Aurora really impresses: the Paraguayan Alfredo Amarilla dictates the tempo, Erwin Sánchez brings creativity and goal threat from midfield, and the wide areas are serviced by the returning Henry Vaca, a former Universitario de Vinto player signed in July 2026 who now gets the chance to face his old club. Up front, Rodrigo Ramallo and the Colombian Michael Rangel form a partnership with over a decade of top-flight experience between them, supported by youngsters like Leonardo Viviani and Sergio Ferreira. Recent form has not been flawless, as shown by the disappointing 0-0 draw against SA Bulo Bulo in the Copa LFPB in September 2026, a result that frustrated the home faithful, but in league play Aurora have generally been far more clinical, and the coaching staff has used that stalemate as a wake-up call to sharpen the attack.

Junior vs Cucuta - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: Colombia - Primera A

Matchday 18 of the Liga BetPlay Dimayor Finalización 2026 closes on Sunday, November 8, when Atlético Junior host Cúcuta Deportivo at the Estadio Romelio Martínez in Barranquilla (18:10 local time). Both sides arrive with plenty at stake in the final stretch of the regular season: Junior rediscovered their winning touch with a 1-0 home victory over Santa Fe on November 4 and are determined to turn their Romelio Martínez fortress into a launching pad for the top eight, while newly promoted Cúcuta — sitting just two points off the eighth and final classification spot after back-to-back wins without conceding — travel to the Caribbean coast dreaming of a first away statement at the home of the reigning Colombian champions. There is also an emotional undertone to the evening, as this is Teófilo Gutiérrez's farewell campaign: the 41-year-old legend has confirmed he will retire in December, so every remaining home appearance is one more chapter of his last dance in rojiblanco.

Junior's road to this fixture has been anything but smooth. The home date with Deportivo Pereira originally scheduled for August 11 was suspended in the wake of the earthquake that struck Colombia, and when it was finally replayed on October 14 it ended in a disappointing 1-1 draw despite Anderson Plata's second-half strike. Worse followed on matchday 13, when Junior were beaten 3-1 by an irresistible Atlético Bucaramanga at the Américo Montanini, and just days earlier they had fallen 3-1 at the Atanasio Girardot against Atlético Nacional on the night James Rodríguez made his first start and masterminded all three Verde goals. Sandwiched between those setbacks was a morale-boosting 2-0 home win over Independiente Medellín in which Teófilo Gutiérrez converted a penalty and Hayen Palacios added a late second. Coach Alfredo Arias will lean on the stars of his 2026/27 squad: Mauro Silveira in goal, a back line featuring Lucas Monzón, John Navia, Yeison Suárez and Jhomier Guerrero, a creative midfield marshalled by Guillermo Celis, Fabián Ángel, Bryan Castrillón and Yimmi Chará, and an attack envied across South America — Luis Muriel, Carlos Bacca, Guillermo Paiva, Deiber Caicedo and Teófilo himself. Junior will be without Edwin Herrera, Fabián Correa and Harold Rivera through injury.

Barnet vs Leyton Orient - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Barnet host Leyton Orient at The Hive on Tuesday 10 November 2026, kick-off 19:00 GMT, in a winner-takes-all EFL Trophy Southern Group F finale — the first competitive meeting between these two London clubs since Barnet's relegation from League Two at the end of the 2017-18 season. The Bees come into the decider in superb shape after easing past Tranmere Rovers 3-0 in Saturday's FA Cup first round, a result that extended Dean Brennan's side's unbeaten run and kept the confidence flowing at The Hive. Leyton Orient also enjoyed a FA Cup Saturday, sweeping aside non-league Harborough Town 5-1 at Brisbane Road, but Richie Wellens knows his team arrive with their Trophy backs against the wall. Arsenal U21 have already topped the group with six points, AFC Wimbledon are eliminated, so the mathematics are simple: Barnet (5 points) go through with a draw or better, while Orient (2 points) must win inside 90 minutes to snatch the runner-up spot on head-to-head. If the scores are level at full-time the game goes straight to a penalty shoot-out for the bonus point — adding extra spice to what is already the biggest game of Barnet's first season back in the EFL.

Barnet's 2026/27 squad has taken to League Two immediately, sitting second in the table with 25 points from 12 games (seven wins, four draws, one defeat, 27 scored) before the November internationals, and Brennan has built a deep, attack-minded group around the experienced core of Matthew Cox in goal, defenders Romoney Crichlow-Noble, Danny Collinge and Nikola Tavares, wing-backs Adam Senior and Idris Kanu, the creative midfield pairing of Jake Reeves and Charlie Lakin, and forwards Jack Maskell and Kabongo Tshimanga, whose seven league goals make him the club's leading marksman. The Trophy campaign has showcased that depth perfectly: Barnet thrashed Arsenal U21 5-1 in August with a Ryan Knowles hat-trick plus goals from Nana Siaw and Maskell, then survived a 0-0 at AFC Wimbledon by winning an extraordinary 8-7 penalty shoot-out. In the league, the Bees backed up a 3-1 home win over York City — their second 3-1 home victory in the space of a month — with a draw against Oldham, and their only recent blemish was a shock 1-3 home defeat to Swindon Town on 20 October, where Aaron Drinan's brace punished a slow start. With home advantage, momentum and the safety net that a draw sends them through, Barnet are justifiably installed as favourites in the European odds, priced around 1.98 for the home win, 4.20 for the draw and 3.89 for the away win, with both defences conceding regularly enough that Both Teams to Score sits at roughly 1.67 and Over 2.5 goals near 1.66.

Bradford City vs York City - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Bradford City host York City at the University of Bradford Stadium on Tuesday 10 November 2026 (19:30 GMT, live on Sky Sports+) in the final round of Northern Group C in the 2026/27 EFL Trophy, and the tie arrives with the group already decided: the Bantams have marched into Round 2 with two wins from two — a 2-1 home victory over Newcastle United U21 and a stunning 4-0 win at Rotherham United — while the Minstermen are eliminated after a 1-3 home defeat to the young Magpies and a 1-1 draw with Rotherham that they lost 4-5 on penalties. Even so, pride and local bragging rights are on the line in this West Yorkshire–North Yorkshire rivalry, and both sides arrive in very different emotional states. Bradford come off a sensational 7-0 FA Cup first-round demolition of Marine on 7 November, a result that erased the memory of the 0-3 home league defeat to Huddersfield Town on 31 October, a game in which captain Antoni Sarcevic was sent off. York, by contrast, were superb in their own cup outing, thrashing Northampton Town 4-0 at the LNER Community Stadium on the same afternoon, with Ollie Pearce scoring twice inside eleven minutes before Alex Hunt and Josh Stones completed the rout — a timely response after consecutive league defeats at Barnet and Grimsby.

The 2026/27 squads tell the story of two clubs heading in ambitious directions. Bradford's summer rebuild underpinned by League One recruitment has produced a deep, experienced group: Cameron Dawson and Jon McCracken between the posts; a defensive unit of Reece Welch, Ibou Touray, Macaulay Gillesphey, Callum Connolly, Aden Baldwin, Matthew Pennington and loanees Hayden Matthews (Portsmouth) and George Pratt (Blackburn); a midfield marshalled by captain Antoni Sarcevic alongside Adam Phillips, Nick Powell, George Lapslie, Bobby Pointon, Henry Cartwright and Kieran Morgan (QPR loan); and a forward line featuring Jake Beesley, Stephen Humphrys, Kayden Jackson, Will Swan and Harry Ibbitson. York's League Two squad, confirmed with their squad numbers in July, blends the goals of Alex Newby and Ollie Pearce (six league goals apiece) with the creativity of Ollie Banks, Joe Grey and Jovan Malcolm, the engine room of Alex Hunt, Arthur Read, Frankie Maguire and Mark Shelton, and a defence led by Alfie McNally in goal plus Ryan Fallowfield, Mark Kitching, Zak Johnson, Zech Medley, Harry Boyes, Jack Hunt and Joe Felix — the XI that started the 4-0 Northampton win in a 3-4-2-1. With qualification settled, both managers are expected to rotate, but Bradford's second string has already proven its quality in this competition, scoring six and conceding just one across the two group games.

Bristol Rovers vs Reading - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Bristol Rovers versus Reading at the Memorial Stadium on Tuesday 10 November 2026 (19:00 GMT) closes out EFL Trophy Southern Group C, but the maths could hardly be more lopsided. Rovers' campaign in this competition is already over: Steve Evans' side have collected a single point from two group games after a shoot-out defeat to Chelsea U21 and a 4-1 hammering at Wycombe Wanderers, and with Wycombe and Chelsea U21 both out of reach, this one is strictly about pride for the League Two club. The Gas will at least arrive with some momentum after Friday's FA Cup first-round tie, where they beat Cambridge United 2-0 at The Mem to snap a five-match winless league run that had included home defeats by Barnet and Salford City 4-1 away at Adams Park in this very competition. Rovers' rebuilt 2026/27 squad, assembled by Evans over the summer, is built around goalkeeper Brad Young, defenders Tom James, Kofi Balmer, Ciarán Kelly, Alfie Kilgour and Jack Sparkes, a midfield featuring captain Richard Smallwood, Clinton Mola, loanee Tommy Leigh, Jack Aitchison, Keenan Gough and Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny, and an attack where Bobby Kamwa, Fabrizio Cavegn and Ellis Harrison share top-scoring honours with three goals apiece.

Reading, by contrast, still have something tangible to play for, even if the task is mountainous. Leam Richardson's Royals sit third in Group C on two points, and because Chelsea U21 finish on five points with a +1 goal difference, Reading must win at The Mem by at least four goals to sneak into Round 2 on goal difference. Anything less, including the sort of narrow away win the model predicts, sends the Royals out. Reading's League One form has been solid if unspectacular through the autumn: they followed a chastening 2-0 defeat at Oxford United last Tuesday with a frustrating goalless draw at Plymouth, having previously beaten Barnsley 2-1 and ground out a 1-0 home win over Leyton Orient courtesy of Paddy Lane's strike. Richardson's 2026/27 squad is anchored by goalkeeper Joel Pereira, a defence of Paudie O'Connor, Jeriel Dorsett, Haydon Roberts, Udoka Godwin-Malife and Benn Ward, a busy midfield marshalled by Andy Rinomhota, Lewis Wing, Charlie Savage and George Earthy, and a forward line led by Jack Marriott, whose eight league goals make him one of League One's most reliable marksmen, with Kyreece Lisbie, Jacob Brown, Jamie Reid and Lane all capable of contributing. Their earlier Trophy meetings saw them hold Wycombe on penalties before slipping 2-0 at home to Chelsea U21, so the young Blues did them a favour that Reading now must repay with a statement performance.

Burton vs Notts County - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Burton Albion host Notts County at the Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday 10 November 2026 (19:00 GMT, live on Sky Sports+) in a winner-takes-top-spot showdown in EFL Trophy Northern Group F. Martin Paterson's Magpies have already punched their ticket to Round 2 after perfect group-stage wins over Grimsby Town (2-1) and Nottingham Forest U21 (5-1), while Gary Bowyer's Brewers have scraped together three points from two penalty-shootout epics — a 3-4 defeat from the spot after a 1-1 draw with Forest U21 and a 4-2 shootout triumph after a goalless night at Grimsby. That means the maths is simple: a Burton victory in 90 minutes levels both clubs on six points and hands the Brewers top spot on the head-to-head, while a draw or a Notts win sends the visitors through as group winners. The subplot is delicious, because these two League One rivals already met at Meadow Lane on 29 August, when Lucas Smyth struck twice in the final 13 minutes — the second from the penalty spot — to turn Finn Delap's 22nd-minute opener into a 2-1 Notts County win, a match that also saw Curtis Tilt sent off late on. County's recent dominance in this fixture is stark: they are unbeaten in the last five meetings with four wins and an aggregate score of 10-4, so Bowyer — who lifted this very trophy as a player with Rotherham in 1995-96 — knows his side must finally land a psychological blow against a club managed by a man who once sat in the Burton dugout himself, Paterson having taken charge of the Brewers in early 2024 before returning to Nottingham.

Burton arrive with their 2026/27 squad taking shape under Bowyer, built around goalkeeper Corey Addai and a settled back three of Toby Sibbick, Finn Delap — who put pen to paper on a new contract running to 2029 in mid-October — and captain Curtis Tilt, with Jack Armer and Kyran Lofthouse offering width from wing-back and the engine room shared by Kegs Chauke, George Evans, Sulyman Krubally and Charlie Webster. The headline team news is the poacher-turned-plot-twist: Matthew Dennis swapped Meadow Lane for the Pirelli on 4 July 2026 and already has a habit of rising against elite opposition, having scored the opener in Burton's famous 2-1 win at Leicester City in August, so the 19-year-old facing his former employers for the first time is the tastiest angle of the night. Mark O'Mahony, Caylan Vickers and Gbemi Arubi complete a youthful attacking unit, with Emeka Adiele and Zac Scutt — both on target in the Trophy campaign — pushing for starts. Burton's league form has wobbled of late, with just one win in their last five League One outings including a 3-0 defeat at Adams Park back in February that still stings, though there have been brighter recent signs such as the battling 2-2 draw at Peterborough in October where Webster and Arubi both scored, and Bowyer will hope the cup environment — where his young side has already shown shootout steel — frees them up to attack.

Crewe vs Wigan - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Crewe Alexandra host Wigan Athletic at the Mornflake Stadium on Tuesday 10 November 2026 (19:00 GMT, live on Sky Sports+) in the final round of EFL Trophy Northern Group B, with both senior sides still fighting for position. Wigan arrive top of the group on six points from two games after 3-2 wins over Aston Villa U21 and Blackpool, but they have stumbled in League One lately, losing 2-1 at Huddersfield Town and by three clear goals at Leicester City. Crewe are chasing a knockout place: they beat Villa U21 4-1 and drew 2-2 at Blackpool, so a point would edge the Seasiders on goal difference, while a win would top the group. Our prediction is a 3-1 home victory, with Crewe at 2.30 in European odds, the draw at 3.40 and Wigan at 2.90.

Lee Bell's Crewe warmed up by beating AFC Wimbledon 2-1 in League Two, a timely bounce-back after consecutive away defeats, including 2-0 at Exeter City and a heavy loss at Chesterfield. The 2026/27 squad mixes homegrown continuity with smart recruitment: Jordan Gibson (Doncaster), Luke Offord (MK Dons) and Joe White (Newcastle) arrived permanently, with Charlie McNeill, Josh Stephenson and Kyle Ure on loan. Captain Lewis Billington, Reece Hutchinson and Mickey Demetriou anchor the defence behind midfielders Jack Lankester (five goals already), Joel Tabiner, Matúš Holíček and Conor Thomas, while Gibson, Josh March, McNeill and Adrien Thibaut lead an attack that has scored seven times in this competition.

Leicester vs Walsall - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Leicester City host Walsall at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday 10 November 2026 (19:00 GMT, live on Sky Sports+, referee Tom Nield) in a straight EFL Trophy Southern Group B shootout, and the mathematics could hardly be clearer. Stevenage have already qualified with six points, while Leicester and Walsall sit level on three: the Foxes advance with a draw thanks to a superior goal difference (+4 versus -4), whereas Lee Grant's Saddlers must win in 90 minutes to keep their knockout hopes alive. Leicester, relegated to League One last season and now led by Russell Martin — the head coach appointed on a three-year deal in June 2026 who, fittingly, began his playing career at Walsall — arrive in rampant cup form. They put Fulham U21 to the sword 6-1 in their Trophy opener before a 2-1 defeat at Stevenage, and their wider run reads superbly: a 4-2 FA Cup win at Oxford City last time out, a 3-0 league dismantling of Wigan, and only a narrow 1-2 reversal at Luton blighting a stretch that has produced 14 goals in five matches. Emil Riis, signed from Bristol City on deadline day, has seven league goals, while Will Alves has created more big chances (5) than any other player in this season's EFL Trophy.

Walsall's route to this decider has been far rockier. The Saddlers, playing an eighth consecutive season in League Two under head coach Lee Grant, were thrashed 6-1 by Stevenage in their opening group game and only squeezed past Fulham U21 to stay in contention, leaving them with a grim Trophy defensive record of eight goals conceded in two games. Their domestic form is similarly volatile: they were beaten 1-3 at Newport County on Saturday, sandwiched between a 3-1 win over Colchester and damaging home defeats to Salford (2-4) despite solid results against Oldham (3-0) and Swindon (1-1). The summer rebuild brought in goalkeeper Jed Ward, captain James Connolly, Declan Skura and an array of loanees including Charlie Crew and Isaac Moore, but the side remains heavily reliant on Aaron Pressley, whose ten goals in fifteen appearances account for the bulk of their threat, with Tai Sodje (1.3 shots on target per game) and veteran Albert Adomah supplying support. Walsall have also drawn six of their fourteen league fixtures — a habit of conceding soft goals and failing to kill teams off that does not travel well to a ground where they have never scored.

Mansfield vs Chesterfield - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Mansfield Town host Chesterfield at One Call Stadium on Tuesday 10 November 2026 (19:00 GMT, live on Sky Sports+) in the final round of EFL Trophy Northern Group D, and although the maths says this is a dead rubber, the history says anything but. These two clubs share one of English football's most storied rivalries, the Miners' strike derby, with 78 meetings between them down the years and barely a cigarette paper separating the records. In the group itself the picture is already settled: Port Vale have topped the section with seven points, Chesterfield are through as runners-up on five, Manchester City U21 sit on three and Mansfield have yet to pick up a point after two games. Pride, bragging rights and the chance to sign off a disappointing Trophy campaign with a statement win are all that remain — but in a derby of this magnitude, that is more than enough motivation for Nigel Clough's side.

Mansfield come into the tie in reasonable league form, sitting mid-table in League One with Michael Smith leading the line superbly — his six league goals this season included both strikes in the 0-3 demolition of AFC Wimbledon at Plough Lane in October, a result that kick-started a five-match unbeaten league run. Clough, remarkably approaching six years in charge and still the longest-serving manager in the EFL, has built a settled 2026/27 squad around Liam Roberts in goal, a back line featuring Ryan Sweeney, Deji Oshilaja, Elliott Hewitt, Frazer Blake-Tracy and Jordan Bowery, a hard-working midfield of Louis Reed, Liam Thompson, Nathan Moriah-Welsh, George Maris and Jon Russell, and an attacking unit where Smith is supported by Rhys Oates, Lucas Akins, David McGoldrick and Tyler Roberts. The one frustration was Saturday's FA Cup first-round stalemate against National League opposition, the 0-0 draw with Macclesfield at One Call Stadium meaning replays or penalties await, but it did at least extend Mansfield's unbeaten run and keeps confidence intact for this derby date.

Northampton vs Gillingham - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Northampton Town host Gillingham at Sixfields Stadium on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT in the final Southern Group G match of the 2026/27 EFL Trophy. Cambridge United have already won the group with nine points, but second place is still to be decided. Gillingham currently occupy the qualifying position with three points and only need a draw to progress, while Northampton remain on zero points following defeats by Brighton & Hove Albion U21 and Cambridge United. Chris Hogg’s side must win by at least two goals to overtake both Gillingham and Brighton on goal difference, adding considerable pressure to an already competitive League Two fixture.

Northampton arrive following a difficult week in which they lost 4-0 to York City in the FA Cup after suffering a 0-1 home defeat against Oldham Athletic in League Two. Those results continued an inconsistent start to life back in the fourth tier, although the Cobblers have produced encouraging home performances against Colchester United and Newport County. Gillingham were held to a 0-0 draw by Barrow in their latest FA Cup match, having beaten Shrewsbury Town 2-1 in their previous league outing. Their other recent results include a heavy league defeat at Grimsby Town and a 1-1 draw with Port Vale, but the Gills have also shown their attacking potential by beating Brighton’s academy side 4-3 before losing 4-1 to Cambridge in this competition.

Oxford Utd vs Cheltenham - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Oxford United host Cheltenham Town at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday 10 November 2026, kick-off 7:00pm, in a crucial EFL Trophy Southern Group A clash. The U's, now led by head coach Aaron Ramsey in his first season at the helm, need a positive result to keep their knockout-stage hopes alive after opening their group campaign with a 2-2 draw at Exeter City, while Cheltenham arrive second in the standings with four points from their opening two fixtures. With League One promotion contenders Oxford enjoying an outstanding 2026/27 campaign and League Two strugglers Cheltenham battling for consistency, this regional derby promises an intriguing test of squad depth for both clubs.

Oxford United come into this tie in superb form, having gone unbeaten through October and early November in League One. The U's brushed aside Reading 2-0 at the Kassam Stadium on 4 November, followed a 1-1 draw at Barnsley with a narrow home win over Stockport County 1-0 on 27 October, and earlier edged Wigan Athletic 2-1 on 20 October. Ramsey is expected to rotate his 2026/27 squad, which features Jamie Cumming and Simon Eastwood in goal, a defence marshalled by Michal Helik, Ciaron Brown and Sam Long, a creative midfield engine room of captain Cameron Brannagan, Tyler Goodrham and Louie Sibley, and a potent attack led by top scorer Mark Harris, supported by Gatlin O'Donkor, Siriki Dembélé and teenage prospect Mo Missanga.

Plymouth vs Swindon - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Plymouth Argyle host Swindon Town at Home Park on Tuesday 10 November 2026 (19:00 GMT, live on Sky Sports+) in the final round of EFL Trophy Southern Group E, and Tom Cleverley's Pilgrims know that a win in 90 minutes will send them through as group winners. Crystal Palace U21 have already topped the pile with six points, while Plymouth sit second on five points after their 5-1 demolition of Palace's youngsters and a 2-2 draw at Newport County that they won 5-4 on penalties. Swindon, by contrast, arrive in Devon already eliminated: Ian Holloway's side have lost both of their group games, 1-2 at home to Palace U21 and 0-2 against Newport County, and have nothing but pride to play for. The European odds reflect that gulf in motivation and quality, with a home win priced at 1.80, the draw at 3.90 and an away win at 4.20 — and our prediction is a convincing Plymouth Argyle 3-1 victory, with data models giving the hosts a 51.8% chance of winning inside the regulation 90 minutes.

The hosts come into this one in solid shape despite a recent wobble in League One, where they sit fifth after 14 games with seven wins, two draws and five defeats. Cleverley's rebuilt 2026/27 squad has taken to his ideas quickly: summer signings Cooper (£250k from QPR), Mitchell (£250k from Charlton) and Evans (£400k from Mansfield) have all settled, while frees Storer, Harding, Hartridge and White plus loans Bakinson (Leyton Orient) and Irow (Tottenham) have added depth following the departures of Tolaj to Bristol City for £4m and Wiredu to Salford. Their Trophy campaign has been their happiest hunting ground — the 5-1 rout of Palace U21 featured goals from Amaechi, a Watts brace, Campbell and Pepple — and they followed up their midweek league programme by cruising into the FA Cup second round with a 4-0 thrashing of Alvechurch on Saturday. The one genuine blemish on the recent record was the 3-0 defeat at Stevenage in October, but the Pilgrims have since beaten Cambridge 3-2, Wimbledon 2-1 and Alvechurch 4-0, and with Pepple (8 goals), Amaechi (5), Irow (4) and Watts (4) all firing, only injuries to Oseni and Baidoo give Cleverley any selection headache.

Stockport County vs Tranmere - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: England - EFL Trophy

Stockport County host Tranmere Rovers at Edgeley Park on Tuesday 10 November 2026 (19:00 GMT, live on Sky Sports+) in a winner-takes-top-spot showdown in Northern Group E of the EFL Trophy. County have made a perfect start to the group phase, winning both of their opening fixtures to sit on six points with a +3 goal difference, while Tranmere have ground out back-to-back draws to collect four points and remain unbeaten in the competition. With Shrewsbury Town and Everton U21 both stranded on a single point ahead of the final round of fixtures, Jimmy McNulty's League One high-flyers and Darrell Clarke's League Two Rovers are already assured of knockout football — but whoever wins this one finishes as group winners and secures a home tie in the next round. Stockport, second in League One after a superb 7-2-3 start (23 points) in which they have scored freely at Edgeley Park, are warm favourites to complete a clean sweep of the group, and our prediction for this clash is a 3-1 home victory.

County arrive with momentum despite a demanding recent schedule. They were held to a 1-1 draw at Meadow Lane against Notts County on 24 October — Adama Sidibeh cancelling out Robertson's early opener — but responded by beating AFC Wimbledon 2-1 at Edgeley Park on Halloween, Ethan Ennis poking home the winner from close range in a game that showed McNulty's young side can grind out results even when not at their fluent best. That victory over the Dons, which followed earlier league wins over Barnsley (3-1), Bromley (1-0) and Doncaster (2-0), underlined why Edgeley Park has become such a fortress this season. McNulty, who arrived from Rochdale in June 2026, has blended an exciting 2026/27 squad: goalkeepers Oliver Whatmuff (on loan from Manchester City U21), Luca Ashby-Hammond and Andrew Wogan; defenders Josh Dacres-Cogley, Ethan Pye, Eoghan O'Connell, Mamadou Jobe, Tom Wilson-Brown, Kyron Gordon, Tayo Edun, Ryan Rydel, Brad Hills and Jay Mingi; a midfield orchestrated by captain Oliver Norwood — ranked among League One's best for big chances created — alongside Lewis Bate, Lewis Fiorini, Ben Osborn, Harry Wood and Jason Adigun; and a forward line led by Kyle Wootton, the division's top scorer with nine league goals, supported by Jack Diamond, Ryan Glover, Mikael Mandron, Benoný Breki Andrésson, Ethan Ennis and Che Gardner.

Metalul Buzau vs Steaua Bucuresti - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: Romania - Liga 2

Round 13 of Romania's Liga 2 brings an intriguing Saturday lunchtime clash on 7 November 2026, as AFC Metalul Buzău host CSA Steaua București with both sides chasing very different goals at this stage of the 2026/27 campaign. Metalul, sitting 10th with 18 points from ten matches (W5 D3 L2), are firmly in the play-off hunt and arrive unbeaten in five, a run built on the division's most reliable defensive record — just seven goals conceded — including three consecutive clean sheets in a 1-0 home win over ASA Târgu Mureș, a 1-0 victory at Chiajna and a goalless draw at Satu Mare. Steaua, by contrast, are enduring a nightmare start to the season: 17th with only seven points (W1 D4 L5, 10-18 goal difference) and just one league win all campaign, a 2-1 home success over Gloria Bistrița, followed by draws against Cetatea Suceava (2-2), Poli Timișoara (1-1) and Metaloglobus (0-0), plus a 3-0 humbling at Bihor Oradea. The head-to-head is perfectly balanced, with each side winning one of the last two meetings and six goals scored apiece, so history offers no shelter for the visitors at the Municipal stadium in Buzău.

Valentin Stan's Metalul have quietly assembled one of the most cohesive squads outside the top four for 2026/27. Between the posts Costel Toader and Relu Stoian provide veteran assurance, with summer signing Andrei Ureche, recruited from Dunărea Călărași, adding depth after the club reunited with a 34-man group in June. The back line, marshalled by vice-captain Alberto Olaru alongside Dănilă Parfeon, Nikola Gavrić and Latvian Aleksejs Kudeļkins, has been the foundation of everything, while the engine room features captain Marius Tudorică, Răzvan Milea and Japan international Yasuhiro Hanada, joined this summer by compatriot Hayashi — giving Metalul a unique Japanese duo in the heart of the team. Going forward, the goals are shared rather than concentrated: Valentin Robu leads the line with support from winger Matei Tănasă, Saim Tudor and Claudiu Borțoneanu, and that spread of scoring threats makes Buzău awkward to defend, particularly at home where they have ground out narrow wins all autumn.

Anaitasuna FT vs Alaves - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

league: Spain - Copa del Rey

The Copa del Rey first-round tie between Anaitasuna FT and Deportivo Alavés has been rescheduled for Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at the compact Txerloia ground in Azkoitia after the original November 3 date was postponed, and it sets up a classic David-versus-Goliath cup clash in the Basque Country. Anaitasuna FT, a modest regional side, earned their place in the first round proper by dismantling TED in the qualifying rounds, winning 5-0 at home and 5-2 away to progress with a commanding 10-2 aggregate scoreline. Deportivo Alavés arrive from La Liga, where they sit in mid-table with a 3-3-4 record after eleven matchdays, and the bookmakers make the top-flight visitors overwhelming favourites, with European odds pricing an Anaitasuna win at 17.00, the draw at 7.50 and an Alavés victory at just 1.12.

For Anaitasuna FT, simply reaching this stage is already an achievement to savour, and their previous Copa del Rey appearance back in the 2020-21 season shows what awaits them: they were beaten 2-1 by Getafe after sneaking through qualifying. The Txerloia crowd will be the hosts' twelfth man, and the artificial-turf, tight surroundings may level the playing field slightly, but the gulf in class, athleticism and squad depth between a regional amateur outfit and an established La Liga club is enormous. Anaitasuna's best hope will be to stay compact, frustrate the visitors early, and dream of a set-piece or counter-attacking moment; anything beyond a respectable performance would be one of the biggest shocks in this season's competition.
