What are the Most Popular Football Leagues to Bet on?
Discover the best football leagues in the world to bet on beyond the English Premier League.
Football is the world’s most popular sport, of that there is no doubt. There are currently over 3 billion fans enjoying football games around the globe, many of whom play the game for fun as well. However, those who don’t enjoy playing the game, enjoy wagering on it.
Football and Betting
Football has a loyal and dedicated betting audience. Estimates put the total amount of money bet on soccer at over 200 billion dollars, worldwide. The online sports betting market has significantly contributed to the popularity of sports betting, and especially football wagers.For the unaware, online bookies are sites that cover notable sports events, and come out with fair and balanced odds. One of the most notable of these websites is Novibet, a bookie that is famous for its detailed coverage and pretty respectable bonuses.
With online sports betting, many football events have grown in popularity. Which begs the question, what are the most popular football leagues to bet on? In this article, we will answer that very question.
The English Premier League
If we focus on the seasonal leagues that take place every year, then we certainly can’t do a list like this without bringing up the English Premier League. The EPL is England’s top-tier football league, featuring some of the most popular sports clubs worldwide, including Manchester City and Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool.Of course, it is the most popular sports competition in England, but what makes the EPL special is that it gets attention worldwide. When most people consider getting into football, they don’t look at their own local leagues, but rather turn on the English Premier League instead. Naturally, that means that there is a lot of money that goes into betting on the EPL. To be precise, over 60 billion Euros were wagered on the EPL in 2021/2022. Who knows how much that amount has grown since.
The Spanish La Liga
The Spanish League, known in Spain as the Campeonato Nacional de Liga de Prima, and better known as La Liga to the rest of the world, is the second most popular football league in the world. It is to be expected, as it is the stomping ground of Real Madrid, the club that currently holds the honor of being the most popular football club in the world. Real Madrid’s greatest rivals, Barcelona, are also a staple of the league, and its current champions.Much like with the Premier League, La Liga attracts fans from all over the world. Which means it attracts bettors from all over the world. Going by the same statistical analysis done in 2022, estimates state that 42 billion Euros were spent on La Liga wagers during the 2021/22 season. Which places La Liga comfortably on the second spot on our list.
Honorable Mentions
The five major European football leagues are all incredibly popular betting events. We already discussed the EPL and the La Liga, but that doesn’t mean that Bundesliga, Serie A, Euro and Ligue 1 are any less popular. All of these leagues see upwards of tens of billions of Euros in wagers every year.Upcoming Hot Matches

Atalanta

Ath Bilbao
Atalanta Bergamo's journey in this Champions League got off to a particularly bad start last September with a big defeat at the start of the Parc des Princes against PSG 4-0. But the least we can say is that the Italians subsequently regained their color by stringing together 4 successes and a draw during the following 5 days played against Club Bruges 2-1, Slavia Prague 0-0, OM 0-1, Eintracht Frankfurt 0-3 and finally against Chelsea 2-1. A very good record which allows the Dea to now be in 5th place in this phase of the league, tied on points with PSG which is 3rd. In the league, Raffaele Palladino's players are also going through a good period since they won their first 3 matches in 2026 against Roma 1-0, Bologna 0-2 and against Torino 2-0. They will aim for 4 in a row next weekend against Pisa in order to get closer to the European top 6. Opposite, Athletic Bilbao risks seeing its European road come to a halt in this league phase of the Champions League. Too limited, especially on the offensive level, the Spaniards have only won once in 6 days, at home, against Qarabag 3-1.
Otherwise, they were beaten by Arsenal 0-2, Dortmund 4-1 and Newcastle 2-0 and were held by Slavia Prague 0-0 and PSG 0-0 in the last 2 days. Consequently, the residents of San Mames are outside the top 24, in 28th position in the ranking, 2 lengths from 24th place. At the same time, the Basques are not much more convincing in the championship where they must for the moment be content with 8th place. Largely beaten by Barça in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup, the Bilbao players recovered by winning against Leonesa in the Copa del Rey in a painful 3-4. They will want to build up confidence next weekend against Mallorca.

Bayern Munich

Royale Union SG
The first part of the season carried out by Bayern Munich is enough to make the competition pale. If we put aside their 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on the 5th day of this league phase, the German club has not lost any other match in all competitions this year. In the Champions League alone, Vincent Kompany's men claimed the scalps of Chelsea 3-1, Pafos 1-5, Club Bruges 4-0, PSG 1-2 and Sporting 3-1 to occupy 2nd place in this league phase behind the Gunners. At the same time, in the Bundesliga, the Bavarians are alone in the world at the top of the standings with more than 10 points ahead of all the competition. Without pity for its return against Wolfsburg 8-1, Bayern will want to continue this momentum against Cologne and against Leipzig in the coming days. Of course, the Union Saint-Gilloise cannot boast of doing as well as its opponent of the day.
On the contrary, this Belgian team is not currently one of the 24 teams qualified for the rest of the competition since it is only in 27th place in this league phase with 6 points on the clock, one less than 24th. After beating PSV 1-3 on their debut in the tournament, David Hubert's men took to the water against Newcastle 0-4 then against Inter 0-4 before falling to Atlético Madrid 3-1. They subsequently won against Galatasaray 0-1 before surrendering against OM 2-3 on the last day. In the championship, on the other hand, the people of Brussels dominate the debates with a small lead over their first pursuer. Last weekend, they hosted Mechelen in the league, a few days after their trip to Dender in the Cup.

Pafos
Crowned club world champion last summer, Chelsea arrived in this Champions League with a new status that they are currently struggling to truly assume. The English club is in fact not among the top 8 in the rankings at the moment and is therefore not currently in a position to claim direct qualification for the 1/8 finals even if it is only 2 points behind 8th place before these last 2 days. Capable of easily defeating Ajax 5-1, the Blues then lost points against Qarabag 3-3 before sublimating themselves against Barça 3-0. But on the following day, they wasted their efforts by losing to Atalanta 2-1, thus remaining in 13th position in this league phase. At the same time, the Londoners are only in 8th place in the Premier League, 4 points behind the Big 4 after their defeat against Fulham 2-1. Now under the leadership of Liam Rosenior, Chelsea largely dominated Charlon 1-5 in the FA Cup. The players of the former Strasbourg coach will again face Arsenal in the League Cup then Brentford in the championship. For his part, Pafos discovers, during this 2025-2026 season, the final phase of the Champions League.
And as might be expected, the Cypriots are having difficulties. That said, they are far from having said their last word in the race for qualification since they have already accumulated 6 points during the first 6 days, which allows them to be in 27th place in the ranking, only a small point from the top 24 qualifying for the rest of the competition. David Luiz's partners were notably able to obtain good results like against Olympiakos 0-0, Kairat Almaty 0-0, Villarreal 1-0 and Monaco 2-2. That said, they could not resist against Bayern 1-5 and Juventus 2-0. At the same time, in the championship, Pafos is in 2nd place in the standings with 2 points behind Omonia Nicosia who have one more match. Winner of Aradippou 2-0, this team will then face Olympiakos Nicosia next weekend.

Galatasaray

Atl. Madrid
Galatasaray was in a good position in the race for the play-offs before the matches of the 7th day. Virtually 18th, halfway between the top 8 and the first eliminated 25th place, the Turkish club remains however with frustrating defeats in this campaign against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 0-1 and Monaco 1-0. These results balanced its record at 3 wins and 3 losses 2 days before the end of the league phase. Galatasaray has since had a string of victories in the Championship. The Istanbulites were able to line up a fourth last Saturday against Gaziantep. Their bitter failure in the final of the Turkish Super Cup against Fenerbahçe 0-2, at the start of the month, will remain an eternal regret since it is the only match that they have not won since the transition to the year 2026.
Atlético de Madrid remains on victories against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 3-1, Inter 2-1 and PSV Eindhoven 2-3 in this league phase. This maximum contribution of points over the last three days allowed the Colchoneros to close the top 8 before the 7th day, with the same total as the 9th, the first virtually play-off club. They prepared for this trip to Istanbul with a clash with Alaves last Sunday in La Liga. The challenge for the Madrilenians was to stay close to the podium after beating La Coruna 0-1 in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. They then started 2026 with a draw in the Championship against Real Sociedad 1-1 and a defeat in the Madrid derby against Real 1-2, in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup.

Benfica
Considered some time ago as one of the biggest European teams, Juventus has lost its luster in recent years. From now on, the Old Lady must fight to keep her place in the top 24 even if, barring disaster, she should at least be able to validate her place for the play-offs fairly quickly. The Italians occupy 17th place in this league phase and are 3 steps ahead of their opponent of the day who is the first virtually eliminated. Since their only defeat against Real Madrid in October 1-0, the Bianconeri took a point against Sporting 1-1 before winning in pain against Bodo/Glimt 2-3 then without really shining against Pafos 2-0. In Serie A, the Turinese are going through a good period since they have won 5 of their last 6 matches. They have also fully convinced to defeat Sassuolo 0-3 and Cremonese 5-0 and they will aim for a new success on Saturday against Cagliari.
Opposite, Benfica will have to wear the blue of warm-up during these next two days to hope to secure a place in the play-offs. Nothing is in fact a given for the Portuguese who today only occupy 25th place in the ranking with only 6 points on the clock. Beaten during the first 4 days by Qarabag 2-3, Chelsea 1-0, Newcastle 3-0 and by Bayer Leverkusen 1-0, José Mourinho's men nevertheless regained hope by winning against Ajax 0-2 and Napoli 2-0. At the same time, in the championship, the Lisbon side are out of the race for the title since they are 10 points behind FC Porto. Beaten in the League Cup by Braga 1-3, Benfica players will want to get back in the cup against FC Porto then they will travel to Rio Ave in the championship.

Marseille

9:00 pm
Liverpool
Ambitious to progress to at least the play-offs, OM managed a very good operation in the last few days by beating Newcastle 2-1 and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 2-3. The Marseille club therefore moved up to 16th position and was ahead of the 25th, and first eliminated, by 3 points while two matches are still to be played in this league phase. Since then, Mason Greenwood and his teammates have had a bad start to 2026. They did not avoid a surprising defeat in Ligue 1 against Nantes 0-2 and were getting closer to a first title since 2012, in the Champions Trophy, until conceding PSG's equalizer on the gong and finally losing on penalties 2-2, 4-1 TAB. Marseille got back on track in the Coupe de France against Bayeux 0-9, residents of Regional 1, and traveled to Angers on Saturday, in the hope of retaining their place on the Championship podium. Liverpool are also confident in the Champions League after the last day, punctuated by a victory at Inter Milan 0-1, finalist of the previous edition.
Authors of 4 wins and 2 defeats, the Reds have moved to within one point of the top 8 and will be serious contenders for qualification for the round of 16 in the final sprint. Their following performances were to be welcomed on the national scene. Undefeated in the Premier League for two months, they moved up to 4th place and remained in draws in the exercise against Leeds 0-0, Fulham 2-2 and the leader, Arsenal 0-0. After crushing Barnsley 4-1 last week in the FA Cup, the Mersey club could return to victory in the Championship on Saturday against relegated Burnley.

Newcastle
Wednesday, 21 January 2026
9:00 pm
PSV
With 10 points gleaned during the first 6 days, Newcastle is part of a large group of teams still capable of securing a place among the top 8 of the regular season and obtaining direct qualification for the 1/8 finals of this Champions League without going through the play-offs. However, after having won 3 victories in a row against Union Saint Gilloise 0-4, Benfica 3-0 and Bilbao 2-0, the English have just gone 2 games without a victory against OM 2-1 and Bayer Leverkusen 2-2. They are therefore 2 lengths behind 8th place. At the same time, in the Premier League, the Magpies are in 6th place in the 3-unit ranking of the Big 4 after their victory against Leeds 4-3. Opposed to Manchester City in the League Cup, Eddie Howe's men will travel to Wolverhampton next weekend. Opposite, PSV Eindhoven should be a little short to compete for a place in the top 8. They will even have to secure their place among the first 24, they who currently occupy 21st place in this regular season of the Champions League with 2 points ahead of the 25th and first eliminated.
Surprised from the start by Union Saint-Gilloise 1-3, the Batavians were then able to hold off Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 before outclassing Napoli 6-2. They then took a new point against Olympiakos 1-1 and inflicted a big correction on Liverpool 1-4. But on the last day, the Dutch had no choice but to surrender against Atlético Madrid 2-3. On the other hand, in the championship, Peter Bosz's men are alone in the world at the top of the ranking, with 13 points ahead of their first competitor. A new duel awaits them next weekend against Fortuno Sittard where they will aim for a 17th victory in 19 days, their 13th in a row.

Qualified for the first time in its history for the final phase of the Champions League, Qarabag does not have to be ashamed of its record after 6 days. The Azerbaijanis are in fact still in the running to reach the play-offs and they occupy 22nd place in this regular season with 7 points in their pocket. Gurban Gurbanov's men had started quite strongly by winning their first 2 matches against Benfica 2-3 and against FC Copenhagen 2-0 but the rest was more difficult with only one point gleaned during the next 4 days against Bilbao 3-1, Chelsea 2-2, Napoli 2-0 and finally against Ajax 2-4. At the same time, in the championship, Qarabag is in 2nd place in its championship, which is on break this winter, with one point on the leader. To prepare for this meeting, the locals played 2 friendly matches against Neftchi 5-0 victory and Zaglebie to follow. For its part, Eintracht Frankfurt cannot be satisfied with its record after these first 6 days.
The German club, however, got off to a flying start by crushing Galatasaray 5-1 on the first day. But the rest of the events turned sour for the Capricious Diva who lined up 4 defeats and a draw against Atlético Madrid 5-1, Liverpool 1-5, Napoli 0-0, Atalanta 0-3 and FC Barcelona 2-1. Consequently, it finds itself in 31st place in the rankings for this league phase and is 3 points behind the top 24. At the same time, in the Bundesliga, the Eagles are on pace to try to secure a European place. Hanging on to Dortmund 3-3, they will face Stuttgart and Werder Bremen before this long trip to Azerbaijan.

Slavia Prague

9:00 pm
Barcelona
Too limited to play the leading roles in this Champions League, Slavia Prague is dragging its feet at the bottom of the ranking, in 33rd position out of 36. And with 3 small units on the clock, the Czechs have practically said goodbye to all their chances of being able to climb beyond the group stage before these last 2 days. However, Jindrich Trpisovsky's players were able to hold off Bodo Glimt 2-2, Atalanta 0-0 and Bilbao 0-0, each time at home but otherwise suffered on the road against Inter 3-0, Arsenal 0-3 and Tottenham 3-0. In terms of current affairs, however, Slavia is performing and has even made a breakthrough at the top of the local championship standings, 7 lengths ahead of its neighbor and rival Sparta. With the championship still on winter break, Prague has played friendly matches in recent weeks. Beaten by FC Basel 4-3 and held in check by Karlsruhe 1-1, they will again face the Norwegians of Brann before receiving Barça.
Barça, for their part, started this new year 2026 very well by winning the Spanish Super Cup after beating Athletic Bilbao 5-0 in the semi-final then Real Madrid in the final 2-1 to retain this title. The Catalans assume their status as leader of the Spanish championship where they were 4 steps ahead of the Merengue again before challenging Real Sociedad next weekend. In the Champions League, the Culers are currently only in 15th place in the standings, 2 points behind the top 8. Hanging on to Club Bruges 3-3 and outclassed by Chelsea 3-0, Hansi Flick's players still managed to get back on track by dominating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 on the final day.

AS Roma

9:00 pm
Stuttgart
AS Roma has 12 points in this Europa League, on the edge of the top 8 while being stationed in 10th position. A victory today would be greatly welcome for the Romans, who would notch up a fourth successive victory in this phase of the league after successes against Celtic 0-3, Midtjylland 2-1 and Rangers 0-2. The adventure began with a victory against OGC Nice 1-2 before sinking twice against Lille, defeated 0-1 and Plzen 1-2. In the league, Gasperini's men lost to Atalanta Bergamo at the very start of the calendar year before reacting perfectly by beating Lecce 0-2 and Sassuolo 2-0. Facing Torino last weekend, the team from the capital was trying to record a third successive victory, with the result to come. Let us also remember that it was eliminated from the Italian Cup at the stage of the 1/8th finals by Torino itself 2-3.
German side Stuttgart also have 12 points to their name in this competition, but thanks to a slightly better goal difference than the Italians, they occupy 9th place, ambush behind Porto. Last Sunday, Stuttgart hosted Union Berlin in the championship, with the aim of extending its unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga to five games after three great victories against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 and in style on the lawns of Bayer Leverkusen 1-4 and Werder Bremen 0-4. In this Europa League, VfB beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-1, Go Ahead Eagles 0-4, Feyenoord 2-0 and Celta Vigo 2-1. There are two road trips away from Fenerbahce 1-0 and Basel in Switzerland 2-0.

Bologna
Thursday, 22 January 2026
6:45 pm
Celtic
Rather solid so far in this Europa League, Bologna has only lost once so far during this league phase. It was on the Aston Villa pitch during the 1st day 1-0. The Italians then won 2 draws against Friborg 1-1 and Brann 0-0 and obtained 3 victories against FCSB 1-2, Salzburg 4-1, and finally against Celta Vigo 1-2 on the last day. Thanks to this assessment, they find themselves in 13th position with a small point behind 8th place. At the same time, in Serie A, the Rossoblu are on course for a place in Europe next year. After beating Hellas Verona 2-3, Bologna hosts Fiorentina next weekend.
On the Celtic side, we will have to turn our backs in the coming days. Qualifying for the play-offs will not be easy for this team since they are in 24th place in the standings with a small margin over their first pursuer. So far, the Scots have been beaten 3 times by Braga 0-2, Midtjylland 3-1 and AS Roma 0-3, held to a draw by Red Star Belgrade 1-1 but they were able to win against Sturm Graz 2-1 and against Feyenoord 1-3. In the championship, the Glasgow club is in 2nd position in the standings, 6 lengths behind the leader, Hearts after its last 2 successes against Dundee United 4-0 and Falkirk 0-1. Next weekend they will face Auchinleck Talbot in the Cup.

Braga
Thursday, 22 January 2026
9:00 pm
Nottingham
We will have to count on Braga in the coming days in the fight for direct qualification for the 1/8 finals. With its 13 points taken after the first 6 days, Sporting is in a very good 7th place in the standings, just 2 lengths from the 1st place occupied by OL. If they had been beaten by Genk 3-4 and held to a draw by Rangers in November 1-1, the Portuguese revived during the last day by defeating a Nice team in great difficulty in the competition 0-1. On the national scene, Carlos Vicens' players are on the verge of the top 4 in the championship. Eliminated in the League Cup by Vitoria Guimaraes 2-1 then by AD Fafe 2-1 in the Cup, Braga will want to move forward against Tondela next weekend.
For their part, Nottingham Forest is in 11th place in the Europa League standings, 2 units behind their opponent of the day. Getting off to a very bad start in this phase of the league, the English got back on track by winning 3 of their last 4 matches against Porto 2-0, Sturm Graz 0-0, Malmö 3-0 and Utrech 1-2 which allows them to maintain good momentum before these last 2 days. In the Premier League, Forest had a series of 4 defeats in a row before recovering against West Ham 1-2. Sean Dyche's players will have a lot to do this weekend against Arsenal but they will be able to keep their place outside the red zone.

Brann

6:45 pm
Midtjylland
Still in the top 24 by being 22nd in this league phase, the place for the round of 16 for Brann is not yet assured. At a minimum, we would have to win one last match or record two draws while hoping, at the same time, for missteps from the competition. The best would be to win for the local team, something they failed to do for the reception of Fenerbahce during the previous day's 0-4 defeat. Before that, Brann had cleaned up two neutral results in Greece against POAK Salonika 1-1 as well as in Italy in Bologna 0-0 and victorious at home against Rangers 3-0 and Utrecht 1-0. The competition began with a defeat on the Lille pitch, still offering a valiant 2-1 victory.
The championship having ended in Norway, Brann had to settle for fourth place, which will allow him to play in the qualifiers for the next Conference League. 2nd in this league phase with the same number of points as Olympique Lyonnais, Midtjylland reacted perfectly to its defeat against AS Roma on the 5th day 2-1 by beating the Belgian team of Genk on the previous day 1-0. In this phase of the league, the Danish club had already defeated Celtic 3-1, Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-3, the English Nottingham Forest 2-3 and Sturm Graz to open the ball 0-2. Since the start of the calendar year, Midtjylland has had a series of friendlies, three for precisely two victories against Sonderjyske 3-6 and against the Ukrainians of Kryvbas 3-0.

Celta Vigo
Thursday, 22 January 2026
9:00 pm
Lille
With 3 victories and 3 defeats as a result after the first 6 days, Celta Vigo occupies 19th place in this Europa League regular season. The Spaniards are therefore well on their way to competing in the play-offs but they will still need to take at least one or 2 points to definitively validate their qualification. Beaten by Stuttgart 2-1, Ludogorets 3-2 and Bologna 1-2 during the last day, the Celticos were on the other hand able to get the better of PAOK Salonika 3-1, Nice 2-1 and against Dinamo Zagreb 0-3. At the same time, in the championship, the Galicians are in ambush to try to win a European place after starting 2026 with 2 successes obtained against Valencia 4-1 and against Sevilla FC 0-1. On Sunday, Celta Vigo will aim for a 3rd victory in a row against Rayo Vallecano. Opposite, Lille presents itself with exactly the same record as its opponent of the day, namely 3 victories and 3 defeats after the first 6 days.
Indeed, the Mastiffs were able to win against Brann 2-1, AS Roma 0-1 and Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 but they were beaten by PAOK Salonika 3-4, Red Star Belgrade 0-1 and by Young Boys 1-0 last month. Logically, they are therefore in the wake of Celta Vigo in the ranking and must therefore still validate their qualification. At the same time, in Ligue 1, the Northerners are at the foot of the podium before their trip scheduled for Friday evening at PSG. Before this match which promises to be difficult, Losc had been dominated at home by Rennes in the league and by Lyon 1-2 in the Coupe de France.

Din. Zagreb
Thursday, 22 January 2026
9:00 pm
FCSB
Capable of gaining 7 points during the first 6 days, Dinamo Zagreb is currently in 25th position in the standings and is therefore the first team virtually eliminated from this league phase. However, everything is still possible for this team which has the same number of points as the 23rd, Ludogorets. After starting with 2 successes against Fenerbahce 3-1 and Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-3 and a draw against Malmö 1-1, the Croatians lost their next 3 matches against Celta Vigo 0-3, Lille 4-0 and Bétis 1-3. At the same time, in the league, Dinamo peaks at the top of the standings halfway through the season. Last week, he was beaten by Hartberg 1-2 in a friendly match.
The FSCB, for its part, is in 27th place in this regular season with one point behind its opponent of the day. The Romanians won 2 wins against Go Ahead Eagles 0-1 and Feyenoord 4-3 on the last day for 4 defeats against Young Boys 0-2, Bologna 1-2, FC Basel 3-1 and against Red Star 1-0. Very disappointing in the championship, the Bucharest club is only in 9th position, 9 lengths behind the leader, after its last 2 successes won in December. Dinamo players will return to competition this weekend against Arges Pitesti.

Fenerbahce
Thursday, 22 January 2026
6:45 pm
Aston Villa
Positioned on the 12th step of this league phase, Fenerbahce is only two lengths behind Porto, 8th and last qualified for the round of 16 outside the play-off. A victory would do great good for the Turks who won their first three matches in 2026, in the Super Cup against Samsunspor in the semi-final 2-0 and in the final against Galatasaray 0-2. Encouraged by this trophy, the yellow canaries immediately beat the modest team of Beyoglu Yeni Carsi in the Turkish Cup 0-1. It remains to be seen whether Mattéo Guendouzi's new partners will have been able to secure a fourth victory in a row against Alanyaspor in the league last weekend, with the result to come. To evoke this Europa League, Fener offered Brann in a good way during the previous day 0-4 thanks in particular to Talisca's hat-trick. The local club remained before that on two points sharing with Ferencvaros 1-1 and Plzen 0-0. The adventure began with a defeat in Croatia against Dinamo Zagreb 3-1, but the Turkish players recovered well by beating OGC Nice 2-1 and Stuttgart 1-0 in quick succession. Unlike Fenerbahce, Aston Villa is in a favorable position in the race for the top 8 by being 3rd in this league phase with the same number of points as Lyon leader and Midtjylland 2nd.
The only difference is that the Londoners have only scored 10 goals while Lyon and Denmark have scored 13 times in the competition. During the previous day, against Basel in Switzerland, Villa won by a small goal 1-2. Before that, Unai Emery's men had also struggled to beat Young Boys Berne at home 2-1 in the wake of a victory marked by a clean sheet against Maccabi Tel Aviv, a 2-0 victory. The start of the competition was daunting with two great victories against Bologna 1-0 and Feyenoord 0-2 but during the 3rd day, the Villains fell into the Dutch trap of the Go Ahead Eagles 2-1, probably the weakest opponent on the list of 8 matches to be played by the English in the edition. In the Premier League, the residents of Villa Park are in the race for the Champions League, 3rd behind Manchester City and Arsenal. Last weekend, it was Everton on the program with the ambition of regaining the taste of success following a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace. Small mention of qualification for the 1/16 finals of the FA Cup, obtained following a success against Tottenham Spurs 1-2.

Ferencvaros
Thursday, 22 January 2026
9:00 pm
Panathinaikos
6th in the early morning, Ferencvaros has a total of 14 points, 1 length behind Lyon, Midtjylland and Aston Villa. Everything is therefore possible for the Hungarian team which offered itself, in this C3, the Rangers 2-1, Ludogorets 3-1, Salzburg 2-3 and Genk 0-1. There were also draws against Plzen 1-1 and Fenerbahce 1-1. Still no match in official competition in 2026 for Varga's partners, but many friendlies, rather poorly negotiated with defeats against Holstein Kiel 0-2 and SK Rapid 1-0. To date, Ferencvaros drew with Midtjylland 1-1. In the championship, the local team is runner-up to Györ. On the other side of the median, we find the Greek club Panathinaikos, 15th in this Europa League with a delay of 3 points on the top 8.
During the previous day, Pana shared the points with Plzen at home 0-0. A draw which pulled the rug out from under the good momentum of the Greeks who had beaten Sturm Graz 2-1 and Malmö 0-1 in quick succession. There are still 2 defeats, contracted on the pitch of Feyenoord 3-1 and at home against the Batavians Go Ahead Eagles 1-2. Recently, Panathinaikos easily defeated Aris in the quarter-finals of the Greek Cup, winning 3-0, three days after a very good victory in the championship obtained against Panserraikos 3-0. Last weekend, still within the framework of the championship, Pana went to the pitch of AEK Athens result to come with the aim of recording a 3rd victory in 3 matches played in 206 tcc.

Feyenoord
Thursday, 22 January 2026
6:45 pm
Sturm Graz
Feyenoord is clearly not in its right mood in this Europa League, or even this season at all. To stay with the C3, the Dutch club is not yet even guaranteed to play the 1/16th finals being only 30th in the ranking with only 3 small points after 6 days. Only one victory to report for Feyenoord, against Panathinaikos at home 3-1. For the rest of the results, quite logically, there were five defeats. Against Braga 1-0, Aston Villa 0-2, Stuttgart 2-0, Celtic 1-3 and FCSB 4-3. To start 2026, Robin van Persie's men settled for a draw at Heerenveen 2-2, a fifth successive match without a win in all competitions. Last weekend, the Batavians hosted Sparta Rotterdam, with the aim of rediscovering the pleasure of winning a football match with the result to come. Qualified to participate in the league phase of the Champions League last season, Sturm Graz is now participating in the little sister of the queen of European competitions, the Europa League.
In a similar situation to Feyenoord but with 1 point more, Sturm is virtually eliminated from the competition by being installed in 29th place. Hosting Red Star Belgrade on the previous day, the Sturm lost with the narrowest of scores 0-1 after losing to Panathinaikos 2-1. To list the other results, the Austrian team was held to a draw at home by Nottingham Forest 0-0, lost at Celtic Park against Celtic 2-1 and in Denmark against Midtjylland 2-0. The only victory was written for the reception of Rangers 2-1. In the league, Sturm Graz ended 2025 with a defeat against Austria Vienna 3-1. At the start of the year, in order to maintain the rhythm, the current 3rd in the Austrian championship is participating in friendlies. Two were played but no victory against Club Brugge 2-2 and Copenhagen 4-4, two Champions League-sized adversities.

Hosting Red Star Belgrade on the previous day, the Sturm lost with the narrowest of scores 0-1 after losing to Panathinaikos 2-1. To list the other results, the Austrian team was held to a draw at home by Nottingham Forest 0-0, lost at Celtic Park against Celtic 2-1 and in Denmark against Midtjylland 2-0. The only victory was written for the reception of Rangers 2-1. In the league, Sturm Graz ended 2025 with a defeat against Austria Vienna 3-1. At the start of the year, in order to maintain the rhythm, the current 3rd in the Austrian championship is participating in friendlies. Two were played but no victory against Club Brugge 2-2 and Copenhagen 4-4, two Champions League-sized adversities.

Maccabi Tel Aviv
SC Friborg has every reason to believe in its chances of direct qualification for the 1/8 finals of this Europa League. This German team occupies 5th place in the rankings for this phase of the league with only one small point behind the 1st place occupied by OL. Dominating against Nice 1-3, the Black Forest club then lost points against Viktoria Plzen 0-0 before moving forward against Salzburg 1-0 in the final days. In the championship, Julian Schuster's men are still out of the top 6 after their 2-0 defeat against Leipzig. A trip to Augsburg awaits them on Sunday. For their part, Maccabi Tel Aviv is clearly not up to par in this competition where they were only able to pick up a small point after the first 6 days.
It was against PAOK Salonika 0-0 for their entry into the running. Otherwise, this Israeli team suffered against Dinamo Zagreb 1-3, Midtjylland 0-3, Aston Villa 2-0, Lyon 0-6 and finally against Stuttgart 4-1. Logically, it therefore finds itself in 35th position in the ranking, just ahead of OGC Nice. At the same time, in the championship, Maccabi is on the 3rd step of the podium, 6 units from the first 2. After winning 2 wins against Hapoel Jerusalem 1-3 and against Sakhnin 1-0, he will aim for 3 next weekend against Maccabi Haifa.

G.A. Eagles
Already on the street last year in this Europa League where it only took 2 points over the entire league phase, OGC Nice is doing even worse this year since it still has not unlocked its counter after the first 6 days. Overwhelmed, the Gym had to lose to Roma 1-2, Fenerbahce 2-1, Celta Vigo 2-1, Friborg 1-3, Porto 3-0 and finally against Braga 0-1 on the last day. As a result, the Aiglons find themselves bringing up the rear in the ranking and they can no longer hope to finish among the first 24. Also in crisis in the championship, the Azuréens experienced a nightmarish end to 2025 before resuming competition after the winter break with a draw obtained against Strasbourg 1-1 for the first of Claude Puel on the bench. Subsequently, the Niçois defeated Nantes in the Coupe de France 1-1, 3-5 tab and they will travel to Toulouse next weekend. In the rankings, the Gym is in 14th place, 4 points ahead of the red zone.
For its part, Go Ahead Eagles have not yet given up on their hopes of qualifying for the play-offs. And for good reason, the Dutch, who are in 28th place in the standings for this league phase, are only a small point behind 24th place. Despite defeats against FCSB 0-1, Salzburg 2-0, Stuttgart 0-4 and Lyon 1-2 on the last day, the Batavians still produced good performances to defeat Panathinaikos 1-2 and Aston Villa 2-1. At the same time, in the Eredivisie, the players from the city of Deventer are in 12th position in the ranking with 5 units of margin on the red zone. Hanging on to Fortuna Sittard 2-2, they will travel to Ajax next weekend.

Betis
18th with 9 points, for the moment, PAOK Salonika is in the standings to qualify for the 1/16th final. The last clash in this C3 ended with an ultra-prolific match in Bulgaria against Ludogorets 3-3. A second draw in a row in the competition after the one contracted at home against the Norwegians of Brann 1-1. Still at home, PAOK was deprived of a victory against Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-0 but reassured itself against Young Boys 4-0. We also mention a very important success among the Dogues de Lille 3-4. Casually, in all competitions, the Greeks have only lost 2 of their last 20 matches played. Since the start of 2026, only victories to report for the local team, including two in the national cup against Atromitos in the 1/8 final and in the quarter-final against Olympiakos 0-2, as well as in the championship on the pitch of Panetolikos 0-3. Last weekend, with the aim of achieving a fourth success in all competitions in this new year, PAOK welcomed OFI Crete in the championship, results to come.
For its part, Betis Sevilla has so far performed almost flawlessly in this Europa League, with 4 wins and 2 draws. The successes were written on the pitch of Ludogorets 0-2, at home against OL 2-0 and Utrecht 2-1 and on the pitch of Dinamo Zagreb 1-3. Against Nottingham 2-2 and on the Genk pitch 0-0, the Andalusians were forced to share the points. In the standings of this Europa League, Betis Sevilla occupies fourth place, lying in wait behind Aston Villa, Midtjylland and Lyon. If we talk about all the competitions that Bétis is covering this season, the team coached by Mr. Pellegrini has only found defeat four times, in the league each time against Bilbao, Atlético Madrid, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid at the start of 2026. Last weekend, the Verdibancos were entitled to quite a shock in the league with Villarreal, result to come a few days after their victory in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against Elche.

Plzen

FC Porto
Plzen has still not played a single official match in 2026, only being satisfied with friendly matches against the Swiss Lugano winning 2-4 and the Danes Sonderjyske 3-1. At the end of 2025, the Czech team won the league against Dukla Prague 2-0, following their Europa League draw at Panathinaikos. In the championship, Plzen is in fourth place. In this Europa League, Viktoria Plzen occupies 14th place but still in the running to grab a spot in the top 8, provided they win today. The other results of this C3 are as follows, a draw at home for the receptions of Friborg 0-0 and Fenerbahce 0-0, victories against Malmö in a poster with 3 expulsions 3-0 and on the grass of AS Roma 1-2 without forgetting the sharing of points on the grass of Ferencvaros 1-1. Porto, since the start of the season, has been very mean to its opponents. Only 2 defeats in all competitions, in the Europa League against Nottingham Forest and in the quarter-final of the Portuguese League Cup against Guimaraes.
Apart from that, particularly in the championship, there were 16 victories in the space of 17 days. Sunday evening, the Dragons traveled to Guimaraes with the ambition of taking their revenge but also of recording a 17th victory in the league and a 9th in a row in all competitions and thus consolidating their first place ahead of Sporting. In C3, F.Farioli's men occupy the top 8 and won their last European partition against Malmö 2-1. Before that, they had defeated OGC Nice 3-0, been held to a draw by Utrecht 1-1, beaten in Nottingham therefore 2-0 and extinguished Red Star Belgrade 2-1 as well as Red Bull Salzburg 0-1.

Rangers
Thursday, 22 January 2026
9:00 pm
Ludogorets
In this Europa League, Rangers have still not found the recipe for success, committing only one small point, when receiving Braga 1-1. Other than that, they were defeats against Ferencvaros 2-1, AS Roma 0-2, Brann 3-0, Sturm Graz 2-1 and Genk 0-1. In the league, things are better for the Scots, winners of their five previous league days against Motherwell 1-0, St. Mirren 2-1, Celtic 1-3 and Aberdeen twice 2-0 and 0-2. Last week, it was in the national cup that Rangers won, against Annan in the 1/16 finals 5-0. With a total of 7 points, Ludogorets is on the verge of qualifying for the play-offs.
However, we must not rest on our achievements since behind them, the competition is raging with Celtic, Dinamo Zagreb, FC Basel, FCSB and even the G.A Eagles, all on the lookout. The best would be to come and take at least 1 point in Scotland today, as was the case recently against PAOK Salonika at home 3-3. To mention the away posters, the Bulgarian club lost to Ferencvaros 3-1 and Young Boys 3-2 but beat Malmö 1-2. No official match since the start of 2026 but many friendlies including a success against PAKS 2-3 and a draw against the Polish club Rakow 2-2.

Salzburg

Basel
31st with only 3 points, Salzburg is far from assured of qualifying for the round of 16 of this Europa League. The best would even be to win today at home otherwise you would be mathematically eliminated from these contests in the play-offs. It must be said that the Austrians lost to Friborg 1-0, Bologna 4-1, Ferencvaros 2-3, Olympique Lyonnais 2-0 and even FC Porto 0-1. Their only victory came at home against the Dutch Go Ahead Eagles 2-0. In the championship, Salzburg is currently in the lead with three lengths ahead of LASK Linz. Since the start of the year, the Austrian club has participated in friendlies to maintain form, namely three games, for a neutral record of a victory against Red Star Belgrade 2-0, a draw against Rakow 1-1 and a heavy defeat against Bayern Munich 0-5.
For its part, FC Basel is also not guaranteed to see its adventure continue in the 1/16 finals. Installed in 26th place, the Swiss team is a little behind the top 24. In the competition, the Swiss were able to win against the Romanians of FCSB 3-1 and the Germans of Stuttgart 2-0. On the other hand, Basel lost to Friborg 3-2, OL 2-0, Genk 2-1 and Aston Villa at home 1-2. In the championship, the visiting team came out of a parity score against FC Sion, losing a little more ground at the head of the table, occupied by Thun.

Utrecht

Genk
What a flawed European campaign for Utrecht, unable to win a single game in this Europa League with the only satisfaction being their 1-1 draw against Porto. A real feat in view of Porto's season, literally unplayable. For the rest, five defeats took place in the Dutch record, against Nottingham Forest 1-2, Betis Sevilla 2-1, Friborg 2-0, Brann 1-0 and Lyon 0-1. In all competitions, Utrecht have lost their last three matches. In the league, against PSV 1-2 and last weekend on the pitch of FC Volendam 2-1 without forgetting his exit in the 1/8th final of the Dutch Cup against Twente 1-2. The Belgian club is doing much better than its opponent in the Europa League with a convincing 16th place with 10 points, just 3 points behind Porto, 8th. To date, in C3, Genk lost to Midtjylland 1-0.
A defeat which followed the two victories obtained at home against Basel 2-1 and on the pitch of Braga 3-4. Still on the move, Genk did the job in Scotland against Rangers, winning 0-1. At home, KRC was embarrassed by Bétis 0-0 and defeated by Ferencvaros 0-1. At the heart of the Jupiler League championship, the men in blue went a fifth successive day without a win last weekend, losing at Zulte Waregem 2-1. A second defeat in a row in the league after the disappointment at home against the Club Bruges Gazelles 3-5.

Lyon
With a balanced record of 3 wins and 3 defeats after 6 days, Young Boys are on a fairly good footing to try to qualify for the play-offs of this Europa League. The Swiss in fact occupy 21st place in the ranking and have 2 points of margin on 25th place, the first synonymous with direct elimination. That said, a difficult schedule awaits them between now and the end of this regular season as they face OL, the leader, and Stuttgart at home, who are also vying for a place in the top 8. Gerardo Seoane's men were beaten by Panathinaikos 1-4, PAOK 4-0 and Aston Villa 2-1 and on the other hand they took points against FCSB 2-0, Ludogorets 3-2 and finally against Lille 1-0 on the last day. At the same time, in the championship, the Bern club is only in 6th place in the Swiss championship, more than 10 lengths behind FC Thune which is leader. They will only return to competition this weekend against Lausanne after losing 2 friendly matches against Dinamo Bucharest 0-2 and LASK 0-3. OL, for their part, probably did not expect to lead the way in the standings before these last 2 days of the league phase but they are undoubtedly adapting very well to this comfortable situation.
The French club, however, has very little room to maintain this leadership status and it is only 3 points ahead of 9th place. Solid, the Gones only lost to Bétis 2-0 in this Europa League. Otherwise, they beat Utrecht 0-1, Salzburg 2-0, FC Basel 2-0, Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-6 and Go Ahead Eagles 1-2. At the same time, in the championship, the Rhone residents moved up to 5th place in the ranking after their victory against AS Monaco 1-3. Winner of Lille 1-2 in the Coupe de France last week, they will aim for another success against Brest on Sunday.

Auxerre

PSG
Beaten on Saturday in Lens 1-0, Auxerre does not take off at the bottom of the ranking. This result for the leader brings his series of defeats in Ligue 1 to three units after those against Lille 3-4 and at the start of the year at Brest 2-0. Penultimate with the same total points as the red lantern Metz, the AJA is relegated 6 lengths from the first non-relegation club. His elimination in the round of 32 against Monaco 1-2 will allow him to concentrate exclusively on the Championship until the spring. By taking the scalp of Lille 3-0 last Friday, PSG secured a fourth consecutive victory in the Championship.
Rennes 5-0, Metz 2-3 and Paris FC 2-1 also failed to resist, but the champion did not shake up the hierarchy in the standings. It still follows the leader, Lens, by one point and maintains a sufficient lead over its first pursuer, OM, namely 7 units. In parallel with Ligue 1, Luis Enrique's team won the Champions Trophy at the start of the year against Marseille 2-2, 4-1 TAB but left the Coupe de France, surprised in the round of 16 by Paris FC 0-1. Another competition was on everyone's lips this week, the Champions League, with a trip to Sporting on Tuesday.

Hamburger SV
The next few months will be decisive for the future of Sankt Pauli in the Bundesliga. Present in the elite since last season, the club from the working-class districts of Hamburg now finds itself having to bring up the rear in this championship, with only 12 points accumulated during the first 17 days. Consequently, he is 4 units behind the first non-relegation team with a match in hand. After having experienced a catastrophic autumn, the Pirates of the League found some color in December by going 3 games without defeat. But 2026 got off to a bad start for the locals with two losses against Wolfsburg 2-1 and against Dortmund 3-2 last weekend. Hamburg, for its part, was able to climb into the elite in the off-season after long years spent at the lower level.
The objective, for this team, is therefore to be able to establish itself as firmly as possible in this Bundesliga and to avoid, whatever happens, taking the elevator in the other direction. HSV hasn't been at their best since the winter break either. Indeed, Merlin Polzin's players started with a defeat against Freiburg 2-1 and they had to be content with taking a point last weekend at Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-0. In the ranking, Hamburg is in 14th place, 4 units ahead of the jump-off.

Pisa
Italian champion in 2024 and runner-up to Napoli last year, Inter intend to win the Scudetto this season. Christian Chivu's gang is meeting expectations for the moment and today occupies the lead in Serie A with 3 points ahead of its closest pursuer. Beaten in front of their fans by AC Milan at the end of November 0-1, the Nerazzurri then went nine games without defeat in the league, 8 wins and 1 draw, current streak. After being held to a draw by Napoli at home 2-2, they got the better of Lecce 1-0 and Udinese last weekend 0-1. Back in the elite this season, Pisa is understandably in difficulty.
The promoted team is currently 19th in Serie A and concedes 3 spending units on the first non-relegation place. Alberto Gilardino's men pocketed their only success against Cremonese at the beginning of November 1-0. More consistent in recent weeks, they have shared points 4 times in the last 6 days, for 2 defeats. Badly beaten at home by Como 0-3, Pisa then held off Udinese 2-2 and Atalanta last weekend 1-1.

Levante

9:00 pm
Elche
Opposed to a Real Madrid reviled by its own public last weekend, Levante thought they would take advantage of the situation but ultimately ended up collapsing, notably in the second act, losing 0-2. Too bad for the players from the Valencia region, inspired during the first act. Still 19th, Levante recorded an 11th defeat this season for its return to La Liga, but above all saw its series of three days without defeat come to an end. As a reminder, Luis Castro's men brilliantly defeated Sevilla FC on the road 0-3 as well as two precious points for the receptions of Real Sociedad 1-1 and Espanyol Barcelona 1-1. Elche, despite its role as promoted within the elite, is absolutely not shy by being installed in 8th place with 24 points.
A European place at the end of the season will be extremely difficult to obtain, especially as the away record is not good. Indeed, untenable at home with only one defeat since the start of the season and a draw on Monday as part of the previous day for the reception of Sevilla FC 2-2, the Franjiverdes have still not won a single match away from their lair, even contracting 5 defeats for 4 draws. Defeats to Mallorca 3-1, Getafe 1-0, Barcelona 3-1, Espanyol Barcelona 1-0 and Alaves 3-1. Recently, in the last match played away, Elche was eliminated from the Copa del Rey on the lawn of Betis Sevilla 2-1.

Tottenham
The return proves very difficult for Burnley. The promoted team is currently 19th in the Premier League and concedes 8 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation place. Slowing down for several weeks, the Clarets have not won any of their last thirteen championship matches. They have nevertheless shown more consistency recently, as evidenced by the 4 draws gleaned during the last 6 days, for 2 defeats. After losing to Brighton 2-0, Burnley managed to share the points with Manchester United 2-2 and Liverpool last weekend 1-1.
Author of a good start to the championship, Tottenham has seriously marked time for several weeks. The London team now occupies 14th place in the Premier League, 8 points behind the last European side and 10 ahead of the first relegation place. On the tough side, the Spurs have only won once in the last 7 days, with 2 draws and 4 defeats. Held to a draw at home by Sunderland 1-1, they then lost at Bournemouth 3-2 before falling, despite the support of their fans, against relegated West Ham last weekend 1-2.

Sunderland
Not expected as much trouble this season, West Ham will have to work to avoid the decline. The London team is currently 18th in the Premier League and is 5 points behind the first non-relegation team. On the last day, the Hammers carried out an excellent operation by winning against Tottenham 1-2. This result does a lot of good for West Ham since it put an end to a very bad dynamic of ten games without a victory in the league, 4 draws and 6 defeats. Back in the elite this season, Sunderland defies all predictions.
Indeed, Régis Le Bris's gang now occupies 9th place in the Premier League with only 3 points behind 4th place, qualifying for the next Champions League. After having four draws in a row against Brighton, Leeds, Manchester City and Tottenham, the Black Cats suffered a heavy setback at Brentford 3-0. Last weekend, they resumed their march forward. In front of their fans, Sunderland beat Crystal Palace 2-1.

Monaco
Winner at the start of the year over Angers 2-1, Le Havre ended a two-month drought without a victory and continued in fine fashion last weekend. Traveling to a Rennes team in form, the Norman club may even regret having been neutralized at the end of the match 1-1. With 4 points pocketed out of 6 possible, he climbed to 14th place in the Championship and can boast of having taken 5 steps ahead of the virtual jump-off. Le Havre nevertheless remains an actor in the fight to maintain its status. Monaco's free fall continues and the situation becomes a little more difficult for coach Sébastien Pocognoli.
Beaten by Brest 1-0, Marseille 1-0 and Lyon 1-3, ASM conceded a fourth in a row at the opening of the return phase, against Lorient 1-3. A 7th setback over the last 8 days of the Championship for the Monegasques ejected to 9th place, 12 points from the podium, and now out of the race for qualification for the next Champions League campaign. The Principality club could take advantage of the C1 to relaunch itself. He faced Real Madrid on Tuesday at the Santiago-Bernabeu stadium.

Lens
Surprisingly beaten by Nantes 0-2 during their first outing of the year, Olympique de Marseille restored their image in Ligue 1 by scoring 5 goals at Angers 2-5 last weekend. Roberto De Zerbi's players, who had spent 9 at Bayeux R1; 0-9 a few days before in the Coupe de France, remain 3rd in the Championship with 7 points behind PSG, 2nd, and 2 ahead of their closest pursuer, Lyon. Marseille challenged Liverpool on Wednesday at the Stade Vélodrome in the final sprint of the Champions League league phase. How far will RC Lens go? By triumphing with a short header against Auxerre 1-0, the Artesian club achieved an 8th consecutive victory in the Championship, the third in a row without conceding a goal after those against Nice 2-0 and Toulouse 0-3.
These three new points allow it to maintain the lead in the standings by one point ahead of PSG. Best defense in Ligue 1 with 13 goals conceded in 18 days, Pierre Sage's team is the sensation of this season in France. Business is also good in the Coupe de France, as evidenced by their convincing success at Sochaux N1; 0-3 in the round of 32.

Lorient
Stade Rennais has just suffered its first poor performance of the new year in the Championship. A little closer to the podium after winning at Lille 0-2 and qualifying for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France at the expense of Chantilly N2; 1-3, the Roazhon Park resident narrowly avoided defeat at home against Le Havre 1-1. A setback for Rennes, winners of 6 of the 7 previous Ligue 1 matches. In 6th place, Habib Beye and his players remain virtually European and are 4 points from the podium. Winner brilliantly in Monaco 1-3, FC Lorient is the other Breton team in form over the period.
After 12th, the promoted player has taken 8 steps ahead of the virtual jump-off and is getting a little closer to his priority objective over the weeks: to win his position. The Merlus are undefeated in the last 7 Championship matches, 3 wins, 4 draws. They remained in a good draw against Strasbourg 0-0 in the exercise, another more frustrating one in front of Metz 0-0 and a victory against Hauts Lyonnais N3; 1-3 qualifying for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.

Bayer Leverkusen
Saturday, 24 January 2026
3:30 pm
Werder Bremen
While he finished 2025 with two convincing successes against Cologne 2-0 and RB Leipzig 1-3, Bayer Leverkusen was visibly cut short by the winter break. As proof, Kasper Hjumland's men have never tasted victory in the league this January since they were largely beaten by Stuttgart 1-3 and by Hoffenheim last weekend 1-0. In the meantime, their scheduled match against Hamburg had been postponed due to weather conditions. In the ranking, the 11th of the Usine therefore finds itself in 6th position with 4 lengths behind the top 4 qualifying for the C1 and one match less. In the Champions League, Bayer is heading to Olympiakos this week with the firm intention of securing their ticket to the play-offs.
No European Cup on the agenda this week for Werder Bremen, who can therefore focus all their attention on the championship. This will not be too much for this team which is encountering more difficulties than in the last two previous seasons. As proof, Horst Steffen's players only find themselves in 13th position in the standings with a 5-unit margin in the red zone and a match behind. After seeing their scheduled match against Hoffenheim postponed, the Werderaner lost to Dortmund 3-0 and then had to settle for a parity score against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-3 last weekend.

Bayern Munich

Augsburg
Without any real competition across the Rhine, Bayern Munich should win, barring a huge cataclysm, a new German championship title within a few months. It must be said that Vincent Kompany's gang relegated their first pursuer, Borussia Dortmund, to 11 points even before this 19th day and they continue to beat practically all their opponents. Indeed, the Bavarians won 16 of their first 18 matches and they have been flawless since the restart with successes against Wolfsburg 8-1, Cologne 1-3 and finally Leipzig 1-5 last weekend. This week, Bayern will face Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League where they are aiming for a close lead in the league phase. If their neighbor is racing in the Bundesliga, we are far from being able to say the same for this Augsburg team which will above all have to concentrate all its forces to maintain its position.
This team is only in 15th position in this Bundesliga with a meager cushion of 3 points over the first relegation at the start of this return phase. In search of new success since December 6, Sandro Wagner's men started 2026 with a slap in the face received by Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-0. Since then, they have had to settle for 2 draws against Union Berlin 1-1 and Friborg 2-2.

Eintracht Frankfurt

Hoffenheim
After having had an ideal start in this Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt is gradually losing ground in the race for the Champions League. The Capricious Diva has in fact only won one of her last 7 championship matches and even remains in 4 matches without success against Hamburg 1-1, Dortmund 3-3, Stuttgart 3-2 and finally against Werder Bremen 3-3 last Saturday. In the standings, Dino Toppmöller's men have therefore fallen back to 7th position, now with 6 points out of the top 4. This week, a long trip awaits the Eagles in the Champions League at Qarabag. For their part, Hoffenheim is not wasting its strength in the European Cup this season after coming close to relegation last year.
And the least we can say is that it works quite well for him. Indeed, the TSG settled on the 3rd step of the podium thanks to its 33 points taken after 17 days. In great form, Christian Ilzer's men have won 3 of their last 4 Bundesliga matches against Hamburg 4-1, Stuttgart 0-0, Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1 and finally against Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 last weekend.

Heidenheim

3:30 pm
RB Leipzig
We will seriously have to increase the pace for Heidenheim at the dawn of this return phase. Indeed, the locals are currently only in 16th place in this Bundesliga and they are 3 points behind the first non-relegation team. After having won 2 decisive successes in December, Franck Schmidt's men fell back into their mistakes by lining up 5 matches without a victory against Sankt Pauli 2-1, at Bayern Munich 0-4, Cologne 2-2, at Mainz 2-1 and finally against Wolfsburg 1-1 last weekend. For its part, Leipzig has long been the only team in Germany to be able to follow from afar the infernal pace imposed by Bayern Munich at the top of the classification. But this time is now over for RasenBall Sport which has just lost 3 times in the last 4 days.
Dominated by Union Berlin 3-1 and Bayer Leverkusen 1-3 before the winter break, the Red Bulls found a smile again by beating Freiburg 2-0. But last weekend, they were once again no match for a ruthless Bayern Munich 1-5. In the standings, Leipzig slipped to 5th position, a short distance from the podium with a match in hand.

Mainz

Wolfsburg
Capable of securing a European place last spring, Mainz would undoubtedly sign immediately to obtain the final 15th place in the ranking on the evening of the 34th day. This would in fact be synonymous with maintenance, a maintenance which still seems a long way off for this training. Indeed, the FSV players remain stuck in 17th place in the ranking, with only 12 points taken in 18 days and they are 4 units behind the first non-relegation team. Undefeated at the start of January, Nullfünfer took points against Sankt Pauli 0-0, Union Berlin 2-2 and especially Heidenheim 2-1 but lost last week to Cologne 2-1. On the other side of the median, Wolfsburg is not at the level hoped for at the start of the season either.
This team is in fact still in the second half of the table, in 12th place in the ranking, far from the battle for European places. Humiliated from the start by Bayern Munich 8-1, the Wolves were still able to restart the machine by winning in an important duel against Sankt Pauli 2-1. Finally, last weekend, they were unable to find the ingredients to defeat Heidenheim 1-1.

Union Berlin

Dortmund
Unlike the previous two years when it had to mainly ensure its place in the elite, Union Berlin has undoubtedly already distanced itself from the red zone, which allows it to look forward. The capital club is actually in 9th place in the ranking with a delay of only 5 points on the European top 6. With a very balanced record of 6 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats after the first 18 days, the Iron Men have just won 3 consecutive points against Mainz 2-2, Augsburg 1-1 and finally Stuttgart 1-1 last weekend. For their part, Borussia Dortmund are in their usual standards since they occupy a very good 2nd place in the standings.
Unfortunately for him, BVB clearly does not seem able to compete with Bayern Munich this season and he is already 11 points behind the Bavarian rival before this 19th day. Rather serious at the start of 2026, Niko Kovac's men started their year with a spectacular draw against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-3 before stringing together 2 successes against Werder Bremen 3-0 and against Sankt Pauli 3-2 last week. This week, the Borussen challenge Tottenham in the Champions League to move into the top 8 in the standings.

Como

Torino
Como is the team that is coming up on the other side of the Alps and is positioning itself as a serious contender for the European folding seats. The Lombard team is currently 6th in Serie A and is 5 points behind 4th place, qualifying for the next Champions League. After having lined up four matches without a setback, 3 wins and 1 draw, Cesc Fabregas' men suffered a setback by losing at home to AC Milan 1-3. They resumed their march forward last Monday. Como won with authority on Lazio's field 0-3. Torino today occupies 14th place in Serie A with 6 points ahead of the red zone.
Not to their advantage in recent weeks, the Piedmontese are getting dangerously close to the relegation zone. Indeed, they have lost 4 of their last 5 league matches, for 1 victory. After easily winning on the pitch of Hellas Verona 0-3, Torino lost in turn against Udinese 1-2, Atalanta 2-0 and Roma last weekend 0-2. 10 days ago, Torino, on the other hand, created a surprise by winning in the lair of Roma in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup 2-3.

Rayo Vallecano

2:00 pm
Osasuna
Thinking of breaking out of its torpor by beating Mallorca narrowly 2-1, Rayo Vallecano automatically returned to its old wreckage by losing largely on the Celta Vigo pitch last weekend 3-0. The record is starting to get worse for the Madrilenians, victorious in only one of their last ten matches in Liga 3n, 6d. Race results, Rayo is in 13th place. We can also mention the elimination of Inigo Perez's men in the 1/8 finals of the Copa del Rey on the pitch of Deportivo Alaves 2-0. Worse still, in a total lack of discipline, Rayo finished its last three matches in all competitions numerically inferior.
A big sigh of relief in the Basque ranks since Osasuna won its first match in 2026 in all competitions by offering itself the red lantern Oviedo last weekend with a 3-2 victory. A few days earlier, the Rojillos were knocked out of the Copa del Rey on penalties by Real Sociedad. Worse still, the first weeks of 2026 were not productive for Osasuna, beaten by Girona at Montilvi 1-0 and embarrassed at home by Athletic Bilbao 1-1. In the standings, with the same number of points as Rayo Vallecano, Alessio Lisci's men are 12th.

Ath Bilbao
Suffice to say that Sevilla FC is starting the year well. The Sevillian club will host the San Mamés Lions today, following a crazy series of three successive defeats in La Liga. A series which started against Real Madrid 2-1 and which continued at home with the receptions of Levante 0-3 and Celta Vigo during the previous day 0-1. We can also add the elimination of the Copa del Rey in the round of 16 against Alaves 1-0. In the ranking, the Andalusians are 16th. Unlike last season, Athletic Bilbao does not live up to its standing.
Only 9th in La Liga, the Basque club already has a disbursement of 17 points in the race for the Champions League and 8 points in the top 6. To make matters worse, Ernesto Valverde's men will have played in the Champions League during the week, in Italy against Atalanta Bergamo to follow. Last weekend, in the championship, Athletic Club continued its fourth match without success, losing to Mallorca 3-2. Before that, the Lions did not roar against Osasuna 1-1, nor even against Espanyol Barcelona lost 1-2 and in Galicia against Celta Vigo 2-0. Worse still, they were slapped in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup against FC Barcelona, losing 5-0.

Valencia

Espanyol
17th and close to relegation, Valencia finds itself in great danger. We can, however, mention the very good operation carried out at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in Getafe last weekend with a short success, but oh so important 0-1. A success which follows the qualification for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, obtained a few days earlier on the Burgos turf 0-2. In the league, the Ché club had not won for 6 days including 3 draws at home for the receptions of Elche 1-1, Mallorca 1-1 and Sevilla 1-1. For their part, the Pericos are virtually qualified for the Europa League by being 5th. The Catalans, however, seem to be running out of steam, as evidenced by their last three appearances in La Liga.
Two defeats without even managing to score against FC Barcelona 0-2 and last weekend for the reception of another Catalan team, Girona 0-2. In the meantime, Mr. Gonzalez's men took a single point on the Levante pitch 1-1. The race for the top 4 for the Champions League now seems a lost cause, however, the ultimate objective of the Espanyol players will be to maintain this fifth position.

Villarreal

Real Madrid
Villarreal is placed on the 3rd step of the podium, 7 lengths behind Real Madrid. The stakes of this meeting are immense since in the event of victory, the Yellow Submarine would come within 4 points of Real Madrid and 5 points of FC Barcelona. On the other hand, conversely, a setback or even a draw would prevent them from making a giant leap towards the title race. Last weekend, on the Betis pitch, Villarreal missed out by losing by two goals 2-0. The first defeat of 2026 in the elite. Before that, Villarreal won its two posters. On the other side of the median, we find a Real Madrid in crisis, booed by its own public during the victory against Levante last weekend 2-0, and yet, we are talking about a Real Madrid runner-up to Barcelona with a small point behind.
The reasons for the madridistas' bronca, however, remain justified, since their team suffered the shame following the exit from the road in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey on the turf of Albacete defeat 3-2. For the record, over the last 10 editions of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid has only qualified for the semi-finals 3 times. A few days earlier, the Merengue had already lost a chance of a title by losing, like last year, against Barça in the final of the Spanish Super Cup 3-2. Already two major trophies passing under the noses of Arbeloa's men. However, the two most important remain, La Liga and the Champions League. To talk about the Champions League, Casa Blanca hosted Monaco this week, results to follow.

Arsenal

5:30 pm
Manchester Utd
Arsenal are weakened in the defensive sector due to injuries to Calafiori, Hincapie and Mosquera. In addition, the young midfielder Dowman (16 years old) is also on the floor. Mikel Arteta is spoiled for choice when it comes to forming his attacking trio with the presence of Saka (4 goals and 3 assists in PL), Madueke, Gyokeres (5 goals in PL), Trossard (5 goals and 4 assists in SA), Gabriel Jesus, Havertz and Martinelli. In the midfield, we find the influential Rice (4 goals and 3 assists in PL) and Odegaard (1 goal and 3 assists in PL). Arsenal have the best defense in the championship. For this meeting, Manchester United must do without potentially starting defender De Ligt, who has not sufficiently recovered from his physical problems.
In addition, Moroccan full-back Mazraoui is still affected by the CAN. Recently eliminated, the important attackers Mbeumo (6 goals in PL) and Diallo (2 goals and 2 assists in PL) are available again. Rather disappointing since his arrival, striker Sesko (4 goals in PL) has found the net 3 times in the last 2 matches. He could be supported by captain Bruno Fernandes (5 goals and 8 assists in PL) and Brazilian international Matheus Cunha (4 goals in PL).

Nantes
Sunday, 25 January 2026
3:00 pm
Nice
A natural candidate for retention, FC Nantes is a virtual roadblock after 18 days, 4 points behind its opponent of the day, the first non-relegation club. Their victory snatched at the start of the year in Marseille 0-2 already seems a distant memory given the following performances. Eliminated by Nice in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France 1-1, 3-5 TAB, the Canaries began the return phase of the Championship with a new failure, on their lawn against Paris FC 1-2. It is more worrying to see Nice melting into the battle for maintenance. Claiming European qualification at the start of the season and now on the verge of the relegation zone, the Gym slipped a little further down last weekend by losing to Toulouse 5-1.
This loss, its 7th defeat in the last 8 days, comes as a blow to a Nice team which had shown a better face at the start of the year against Strasbourg 1-1. Successor to Franck Haise during the winter break, new coach Claude Puel took advantage of the Coupe de France to obtain his first good results, against Saint-Etienne 2-1 and with this Nantes team 1-1, 3-5 TAB. His team tried last Thursday to regain its senses in the Europa League, against Go Ahead Eagles.

AC Milan
Roma is weakened in the offensive sector with the packages of Ferguson and Dovbyk. In addition, substitutes Gollini, El Shaarawy, Bailey and Baldanzi are also absent while Moroccan midfielder El Aynaoui is preparing to play in the CAN final. Substitute in the Italian Cup this week, French international Koné is expected in the midfield this Sunday alongside captain Cristante. Up front, we could find the Argentinians Soule (6 goals and 4 assists in SA) and Dybala (1 goal in SA). This winter, Roma recruited attackers Robinho Vaz (OM) and Malen (Aston Villa). AC Milan are without replacement striker Gimenez but starting defender Pavlovic is back.
Influential attackers Leao (7 goals in SA) and Pulisic (8 goals and 2 assists in SA) are applying to start this Sunday. All the same, distrust of the French international Nkunku (4 goals and 2 assists in SA) who is gaining momentum after a timid start to the season. In the midfield, takes place the captain Rabiot, who transformed the game of AC Milan. The French international scored a double against Como. This winter, German striker Fullkrug (West Ham) came to strengthen the ranks of the Rossoneri.

Napoli
For Juventus, it is worth noting the withdrawals of starting striker Vlahovic, replacement defender Rugani and the unused Rouhi (defender) and Milik (striker). Absent during the last two days, winger Conceiçao is back this Saturday. Author of a timid start with the Old Lady, Jonathan David (3 goals and 3 assists in SA) is starting to find his feet. The former Lille player has been decisive 4 times in the last 4 days. He scored against Cremonese just like the Turk Yildiz (7 goals and 4 assists in SA). The Napoli squad is reduced by the withdrawals of important midfielders Anguissa and De Bruyne, long-time absent striker Lukaku, goalkeeper No.
2 Meret and replacement midfielder Gilmour. In addition, coach Conte will not be able to officiate on the bench because he is suspended. On the other hand, Brazilian defender Juan Jesus is back from suspension. Mute during the last four days, striker Hojlund (6 goals and 2 assists in SA) should still be brought back up front. In the midfield, takes place the Scottish international McTominay (5 goals and 3 assists in SA).
