This week matches

Acassuso vs Godoy Cruz - Friday, 21 August 2026

league: Argentina - Primera Nacional

Acassuso and Godoy Cruz are set to face off in a crucial Argentina Primera Nacional fixture on August 21, 2026, at Estadio La Quema in San Isidro. The match marks an important encounter in the 2026/2027 season as both sides look to improve their standings in Zona A. Acassuso currently sits in 16th place with 20 points from 21 matches, fighting to climb away from the relegation zone, while Godoy Cruz holds 7th position with 31 points and remains in contention for the promotion play-offs. With contrasting campaigns so far, this clash promises to be a tightly contested affair under the Friday night lights.

The home side has struggled for consistency throughout the campaign, managing just five wins alongside five draws and 11 defeats. Acassuso's attack has been led by Ramiro Reynoso with five goals and Agustin Hermoso with four, though the team has found the net only four times in their last five outings while conceding eight. Their most recent results show a battling 1-1 draw against Colon Santa Fe at home on August 1, preceded by a hard-fought 0-0 stalemate away to San Miguel on July 26. The squad will rely on the creativity of Lazaro Romero, who leads the team with four assists, to unlock a stubborn Godoy Cruz defence.

San Telmo vs Deportivo Moron - Friday, 21 August 2026

league: Argentina - Primera Nacional

San Telmo will face Deportivo Morón on August 22, 2026, at Estadio Dr. Osvaldo Francisco Baletto in a crucial Argentina Primera Nacional Round 26 fixture. Both sides enter this encounter with contrasting objectives, as Deportivo Morón currently sits in contention for the promotion playoff spots while San Telmo battles to climb away from the lower reaches of the Group B table. The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:00 UTC and promises to be a tightly contested affair given the historical rivalry between these two Buenos Aires clubs.

San Telmo has endured a difficult run of form heading into this fixture, suffering back-to-back defeats including a 3-0 loss away to Quilmes and a 1-0 reverse against Colón Santa Fe, though they did manage a morale-boosting 1-0 victory over San Miguel at home earlier in August. Manager will rely on a 2026/2027 squad featuring forwards Martín Batallini, Juan Ignacio Motroni, Jerónimo Porto Lapegüe, and Iñaki Lartirigoyen, midfielders Elías Brítez, Renzo Uriburu, and Javier Iritier, defenders Facundo Roncaglia, Leonel Pollacchi, and Gabriel Paredes, and goalkeeper Joaquín Enrico to turn their fortunes around on home soil.

Sporting Lokeren vs Eupen - Friday, 21 August 2026

league: Belgium - Challenger Pro League

KSC Lokeren-Temse will host KAS Eupen on Friday, August 21, 2026, at 18:00 UTC in Round 2 of the Belgium Challenger Pro League 2026/2027 season. The fixture will take place at Daknamstadion in Lokeren, where both sides will look to build on their opening-day performances and secure valuable early points in the second tier of Belgian football.

The home side enters this match in confident mood after kicking off their campaign with an impressive away victory, beating Seraing by 0-2 on August 14. Earlier this year, Lokeren also shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw with the same opponent. For the 2026/2027 season, Lokeren has assembled a competitive squad featuring goalkeeper Simon Vervacke, defenders Jérôme Arens and Andreas Spegelaere, midfielders Rune Van Den Bergh and Maxime Pau, and forward Vancy Mabanza, giving them a solid foundation for the campaign ahead.

Cherno More vs Dunav Ruse - Friday, 21 August 2026

league: Bulgaria - efbet League

Cherno More Varna will welcome Dunav Ruse to Ticha Stadium on August 21, 2026, for a Round 6 efbet League 2026/2027 fixture that carries significant weight for both clubs. The Sailors have endured a torrid start to the season, collecting just one point from their opening four matches and sitting perilously close to the relegation zone. Dunav Ruse, meanwhile, have found the step up from the Second Professional League equally daunting, entering this clash without a point to their name after two defeats.

Ilian Iliev's Cherno More squad for the 2026/2027 campaign comprises 28 players, mixing homegrown Bulgarian talent with foreign reinforcements. Goalkeeper Kristian Tomov anchors the defense, while captain Vasil Panayotov and Portuguese playmaker David Teles provide creativity in midfield. Summer signings Georgi Lazarov and Celso Sidney have been tasked with reviving an attack that has managed only three goals in four league outings. The team's recent form remains concerning, with no victory in five matches following a 1-1 stalemate away to Botev Vratsa and damaging home losses to Spartak Varna and Ludogorets.

Arsenal vs Coventry - Friday, 21 August 2026

league: England - Premier League

Arsenal will kick off their 2026/2027 Premier League title defence on Friday, August 21, 2026, when they welcome newly promoted Coventry City to the Emirates Stadium for an 8:00pm BST fixture. The Gunners enter the new campaign as back-to-back Premier League champions and fresh off a commanding 3-0 triumph over Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, while the Sky Blues return to the top flight for the first time in 25 years after clinching the 2025/26 Championship title under manager Frank Lampard.

Mikel Arteta has retained a star-studded squad for the 2026/2027 season, with captain Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka expected to play pivotal roles after injury issues disrupted their consistency last term, while new signing Christos Tzolis, Kai Havertz, Declan Rice, David Raya, Riccardo Calafiori, and Viktor Gyokeres provide formidable depth across the pitch. The Gunners secured their second consecutive league crown with a hard-fought 1-2 victory away at Crystal Palace on the final day of last season, and they will be determined to start the new campaign with a statement performance against a Coventry side that conceded just 45 goals during their dominant Championship-winning campaign.

Marseille vs Strasbourg - Friday, 21 August 2026

league: France - Ligue 1

The 2026-27 Ligue 1 season kicks off on August 21, 2026, as Olympique de Marseille welcome RC Strasbourg Alsace to the Orange Velodrome for the opening round. Both clubs enter the campaign under new management, with Bruno Genesio taking charge of Marseille after Habib Beye's dismissal, while Hugo Oliveira replaces Gary O'Neil at Strasbourg following the Englishman's move to Ipswich Town. Marseille will be eager to capitalize on their formidable home record against Strasbourg, having gone nine consecutive home league meetings without defeat to the Alsatian side. The Velodrome faithful will hope for a repeat of the attacking fluency shown in their last home outing of the previous campaign, a 3-1 victory over Stade Rennais.

Marseille's squad for the 2026-27 season retains a potent attacking core led by England international Mason Greenwood, veteran striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and French forward Amine Gouiri. Club captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg anchors the midfield alongside Leonardo Balerdi and Ethan Nwaneri, while the defensive line features French World Cup winner Benjamin Pavard, Facundo Medina, and Emerson Palmieri. Goalkeeper Jeffrey de Lange is expected to start between the posts. However, midfielder Quinten Timber will miss out through suspension. Despite the quality in Genesio's ranks, Marseille ended the 2025-26 season on a sour note with a 3-0 defeat away to FC Nantes, a result the new boss will be determined to erase from memory.

Boulogne vs Red Star - Friday, 21 August 2026

league: France - Ligue 2

Boulogne welcome Red Star to the Stade de la Libération on Friday, August 21, 2026, for a Ligue 2 fixture that pits 13th against 6th after two rounds of the 2026/2027 campaign. Les Boulonnais have made a sluggish start with just one point from their opening two matches, while Les Audoniens arrive unbeaten with four points and a firm eye on the promotion picture. The hosts are desperate to register their first win of the season in front of their own supporters, whereas Damien Perrinelle's side will look to extend their positive early momentum on the road.

Fabien Dagneaux's squad for the 2026/2027 season has struggled for goals so far, failing to find the net in their last two league outings, including a 1-0 defeat at Guingamp and a 0-0 home draw with Nancy. Boulogne are expected to line up in a compact 4-2-3-1 formation designed to stay narrow and hit on the counter, but they will need far more cutting edge from their attacking unit if they are to trouble a well-organised Red Star defence that has yet to concede in the new campaign.

Dunkerque vs Montpellier - Friday, 21 August 2026

league: France - Ligue 2

Dunkerque will host Montpellier at Stade Marcel-Tribut on Friday, August 21, 2026, for a Ligue 2 Round 3 clash in the 2026/2027 season. Both teams enter the match level on four points after two games, with Dunkerque sitting in third place following a 4-2 victory over Grenoble and a 3-3 draw away at Reims, while Montpellier occupy sixth place after edging Nancy 1-0 on the road and drawing 1-1 with Dijon at home.

The home side arrives with confidence from their attacking displays, having found the net seven times in their opening two fixtures. Dunkerque's recent form includes a 3:2 defeat at Nancy and a stunning 2:6 victory away at Boulogne from the tail end of last season. Montpellier have shown defensive solidity early in the campaign, recording a 0:1 win at Nancy and a 1:1 draw against Dijon in their first two outings.

league: Ireland - Premier Division

Sligo Rovers will host Waterford FC on Friday, 21 August 2026 at The Showgrounds in a crucial SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division clash. With Sligo Rovers sitting in 10th place on 22 points and Waterford FC holding 8th position with 28 points, both sides are desperate for points as the season enters its final stretch. The Bit O'Red come into this fixture on the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Derry City at the Brandywell, while the Blues arrive following a 1-1 home draw against St Patrick's Athletic at the RSC.

The home side will be led by new manager Darren Purse, who has been tasked with steering Sligo Rovers away from the relegation zone. The 2026/2027 squad features key players such as goalkeeper Sam Sargeant, defenders Gareth McElroy and Jeannot Esua, midfield general Carl McHugh, and attacking threats Will Fitzgerald and Cian Kavanagh. However, Sligo will be without Conor Reynolds through injury and Archie Meekison through suspension. Recent recruitments including Luke Young and Kaiyne Woolery have added experience to a squad that managed to snatch a 1-1 draw at Dundalk thanks to Gareth McElroy's stoppage-time equaliser, though they were also held to a 2-2 draw by Drogheda United at home after conceding a 95th-minute leveller.

league: Netherlands - Eerste Divisie

The 2026/2027 Eerste Divisie campaign enters another crucial weekend as FC Den Bosch prepare to host Eindhoven FC at De Vliert.

The home side will be eager to capitalize on familiar surroundings, knowing that a strong result here could set the tone for the months ahead.

Den Bosch come into this fixture on the back of some encouraging displays on home soil.

Dordrecht has enjoyed a positive start to the campaign and currently occupies a top-four position, while Roda finds itself in the lower half of the table and in need of a turnaround after a sluggish beginning to the year.

Dordrecht's confidence will be high following their season-opening 2-1 triumph over Jong Ajax on August 7, a result that showcased the attacking potential of Nick Venema and Martin Vetkal. The squad for 2026/2027 has been carefully assembled with a blend of experience and youth, featuring goalkeeper Celton Biai, defenders Yannis M'Bemba, Björn Hardley, and Lucas Woudenberg, midfielders Robin van Asten, Lawson Sunderland, and Guus Huitzing, plus forward Stéphano Carrillo, who arrived as a winter signing from Rapid Vienna. Earlier pre-season momentum was also evident in their 1-1 draw with MVV Maastricht in March.

league: Peru - Liga 1

Alianza Atlético and Sporting Cristal are set to face off on Friday, August 21, 2026, at the Estadio Campeones del 36 in Sullana, in a crucial Liga 1 Clausura fixture that could significantly impact the final standings. With the 2026/2027 season well underway, both clubs are fielding their updated rosters and chasing vital points as the tournament enters its decisive phase. The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:00 local time, and given the intensity of their previous encounters—where Sporting Cristal holds a commanding 27 wins from 46 meetings—expectations are high for another competitive showdown in front of the home faithful.

The home side, Alianza Atlético, has shown flashes of promise under coach Federico Urciuoli, particularly at the Estadio Campeones del 36, where they recently secured a 2-0 victory over Cienciano on August 6 and followed up with an impressive 3-1 win against Los Chankas on July 24. The 2026/2027 squad features goalkeeper Steven Rivadeneyra, a defensive line anchored by Erick Perleche and Anthony Gordillo, midfield creativity from Cristian Penilla and Jorge del Castillo, and attacking outlets in Franco Coronel and Valentín Robaldo.
