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
Amstetten
Friday, 12 December 2025
8:30 pm
Admira
The upcoming clash between SKU Amstetten and Admira Wacker in Austria’s 2. Liga has drawn considerable attention, not only because of their positions near the top half of the table but also due to their recent form. Amstetten have been steady, showing resilience in matches where they were tested, including their late November fixture against Austria Lustenau. That game highlighted their defensive organization, even though they struggled to convert chances. Admira, meanwhile, have been unbeaten in their last ten league outings, a streak that has kept them firmly in contention for promotion. The match scheduled for December 12, 2025, at the Ertl Glas-Stadion, is being billed as one of the standout fixtures of the round, with both sides eager to prove their credentials.
Amstetten’s recent fixtures have shown a team capable of grinding out results. In late November, they faced Austria Lustenau, a side with strong attacking pedigree, and managed to hold their ground despite pressure. Earlier in the month, Amstetten also picked up points in matches where their midfield dictated tempo, proving they can adapt against different styles of play. Their coach Patrick Enengl has emphasized balance, and the squad’s ability to avoid defeats has been crucial, with only one loss in their last twelve league games. The home crowd at Ertl Glas-Stadion has been a factor too, often pushing the team to late rallies, which could play a role in this upcoming encounter against Admira.

West Brom

Sheffield Utd
Only one victory for West Brom in the previous five days, when they received Swansea 3-2. At the heart of this series, Albion conceded three defeats including two in a row on the lawns of Queens Park Rangers 3-1 and Southampton Saints in the week 3-2. More generally, West Bromwich have lost 6 of their last 10 league games for only 2 victories. In the ranking, WBA occupies 16th place with a fairly comfortable cushion of 8 points in the red zone.
Opposite, we find the Sheffield Blades, back at their level after a very difficult start to the season on the sporting aspect. Now 15th, Sheffield United are undefeated for six matches in the league, for a happy record of 4 victories including 3 obtained in style against Sheffield Wed 0-3, Portsmouth 3-0 and Stoke City last weekend 4-0. During the week, thinking of recording a 4th success in a row in the Championship, Chris Wilder's men were finally forced to share the points with Norwich at home 1-1.

Nantes
Having just won against a Nice team in 0-1 crisis, Angers is having a good time at the end of the year. A third victory in the last 4 days played against Auxerre 2-0, Toulouse 0-1, Lens defeated 1-2 and therefore Nice. This significant contribution of points for Angevins contenders to maintain places them in 11th position in the ranking as mid-season approaches, with a good margin of maneuver over the first relegation - 8 points. The SCO was defeated twice in its first 7 receptions of the year, for 3 victories and 2 draws. FC Nantes fell a little further into the red last weekend.
Defeated in the last quarter of an hour by Lens 1-2, the Canaries suffered a second defeat in a row, after that at Lyon 3-0, and now have 6 games without a win, 2 draws, 4 losses. The situation seriously weakens their coach Luis Castro, whom the leaders will keep in his post for this meeting and the 32nd final of the Coupe de France on December 21 against Concarneau. His team is not the one to concede the most goals in the first part of the season but they managed only one clean sheet in the first 15 days.

Le Mans
Annecy and Le Mans meet in Ligue 2 on December 12, 2025, in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture at Parc des Sports. Both sides have had fluctuating fortunes over the past two months, with Annecy struggling to find consistency while Le Mans have shown resilience in grinding out results. Annecy’s manager Laurent Guyot has been under pressure after a series of mixed outcomes, including a French Cup exit against Grenoble on November 28. Meanwhile, Le Mans, guided by Patrick Videira, have managed to stay competitive in the league table, sitting slightly higher than Annecy thanks to their ability to avoid defeats even if many of their games ended in draws. The build-up to this clash has been marked by discussions around Annecy’s need to sharpen their attack and Le Mans’ capacity to frustrate opponents with disciplined defending.
Looking at recent matches, Annecy’s form has been patchy. They lost 2-1 to Grenoble in the French Cup, but earlier secured a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Bastia on November 21. Before that, they edged AS Cannes 2-1 in another cup tie, showing flashes of determination. However, defeats to Montpellier and Rodez highlighted their vulnerability away from home, while a 1-1 draw against Boulogne demonstrated their inability to close out games. Le Mans, on the other hand, have been harder to beat, recording multiple draws in their last six outings. They managed wins against sides like Dunkerque and Pau, but their inability to convert stalemates into victories has kept them from climbing higher in the standings. This contrast in recent performances sets the stage for a fascinating encounter where Annecy’s inconsistency meets Le Mans’ stubbornness.

Laval

Dunkerque
While it had been able to settle in the first part of the table during the last two years, Stade Lavallois is encountering much more difficulties this year. Indeed, Olivier Frapolli's men are struggling in 17th position in the ranking with 15 points taken during the first 16 days and they are therefore virtually roadblocks. That said, the Mayennais have the same number of points as the first non-relegation team. Able to win their last 2 away matches against Nancy 0-2 and Bastia 0-2, the Tangos had in the meantime lost against Troyes 0-1 at home. Finally, Monday evening, Laval completely lost against Stade de Reims 4-0.
Dunkirk, for its part, should not have to fear when it comes to remaining in Ligue 2 this season. With a very interesting squad and collective, the USLD is once again a candidate for a place in the play-offs which it had already competed in last year. Very solid for a few weeks now, the Maritimes have not lost for almost 2 months and they have even had 4 wins in recent days. After being held in check by Boulogne 1-1 and by Rodez 1-1, the Northerners resumed their march forward against Saint-Etienne 1-0 last weekend in order to move up to 7th place in the ranking, 3 lengths from 5th place.

Nancy

Clermont
Fortunately for her, AS Nancy Lorraine was able to capitalize on numerous points during the first days. Because for several months now, this team has been floundering at the bottom of the standings and it finds itself stuck in the red zone, in 17th position in Ligue 2. Since their last success against the red lantern in Bastia at the end of October 2-0, the promoted team have put together a terrible series of 4 defeats in a row against Le Mans 1-0, Laval 0-2, Saint-Etienne 2-1 and finally Grenoble 1-0 at the weekend. last. On the other hand, Pablo Correa's men were able to qualify for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France by dominating Sarregamines 3-4.
For its part, Clermont is not at the top in this championship either but its position is still more enviable than that of its opponent of the day. Grégory Proment's men are in 12th place in the standings with a lead of 4 points on the red zone, which is far from negligible for a team which had to compete in the play-offs last year to maintain its place in this championship. A little better recently, the Auvergnats have not lost for 3 days. And after beating Amiens 2-1, they held off against Red Star 2-2 and Boulogne 1-1 last week.

Pau FC

8:00 pm
Amiens
Author of a very coherent start to the season, Pau FC quickly took its place in the first part of the table. Better yet, the residents of Nouste Camp even had to spend a few weeks on the podium before experiencing a more complicated autumn. Nicolas Usaï's men had even lined up a long series of 7 matches in a row without the slightest victory, including draws conceded against Troyes 1-1 and Guingamp 2-2 and a defeat suffered at home against Le Mans 1-2. But last week, the Béarnais resumed their march forward by defeating Montpellier 0-1. A success which allows them to return to 6th place, a short distance from the top 5.
For its part, Amiens will have to remobilize over the coming months or risk experiencing a huge disappointment at the end of the season. On a rather dangerous slope, Omar Daf's men have had a series of poor performances for some time to the point of finding themselves today in 15th position in the ranking with the same number of points as the first relegation. Completely on the street in recent weeks, the Picards have just suffered 5 losses in a row in Ligue 2 against Troyes 3-1, Grenoble 2-3, Clermont 2-1, Guingamp 1-2 and finally against Le Mans 1-0 last weekend.

Rodez

Guingamp
Much too irregular to hope for anything good this year, this Rodez team risks having to look in the rearview mirror this season. Indeed, Raf is in the second part of the table, in 13th place, with a fairly small lead of only 3 points in the red zone. Even more worrying, Didier Saintini's men have only won one of their last 9 matches in this Ligue 2. It was against Annecy 2-1 at the end of October. Since then, the Aveyronnais have been dominated by Montpellier 2-0 and by Grenoble 2-1 and they have had two draws against Dunkirk 1-1 and against the Trojan leader 1-1 last weekend. In the meantime, the Ruthenois were knocked out by Canet en Roussillon in the Coupe de France 1-0.
For its part, En Avant Guingamp would undoubtedly like to aim a little higher than where it currently finds itself but it suffers far too much from its defensive fragility to hope to support the best teams in this championship in the race for the play-offs. The Bretons had, however, had a decent series, winning 2 wins in 3 days against Laval 2-0, Pau 2-2 and Amiens 1-2. But last week, Sylvain Ripoll's players completely missed their point by taking on water against Annecy 0-3. Following this setback, the Guingampais were relegated to 5 units from the top 5 and the race for the play-offs.

RB Leipzig
The record displayed by Union Berlin after the first 13 days is not particularly brilliant but it still allows it to hope to validate its maintenance without too many problems. Because with 15 points on the clock, the capital club is in 12th position in the standings with a fairly comfortable margin of 4 points over the first non-relegation team at the start of this new day. That said, the dynamic is not very good for the Iron Men who remain on 3 losses in a row in all competitions since their last success against Sankt Pauli 0-1. The Berliners were in fact dominated by Heidenheim 1-2, by Bayern in the Cup 2-3 and finally by Wolfsburg 3-1 last weekend.
On the other side of the field, RB Leipzig is much more to its advantage than its opponent of the day. 2nd in the ranking, RasenBall Sport is one of the great satisfactions of this first part of the season across the Rhine even if 1st place, currently occupied by Bayern Munich who are 8 lengths ahead, seems inaccessible for the moment. Still in good form, Ole Werner's men have just won 3 of their last 4 matches in all competitions against Werder Bremen 2-0, Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-0, Magdeburg 3-1 in the Cup and especially against Eintracht Frankfurt 6-0 last weekend.

Pisa
17th in Serie A with 3 points ahead of the first relegated team, Lecce hopes to stay out of the red zone, the club's supreme objective. The team based in Puglia has done well recently by picking up 2 victories in the last 5 days, for 1 draw and 2 defeats. After a valuable success at home against Torino 2-1, Lecce carried out a bad operation by losing at Cremonese last weekend 2-0. Back in the elite after a long absence this season, Pisa logically expects to struggle to obtain maintenance.
The promoted team now occupies 18th place in Serie A with 3 units of expenditure on its opponent of the day. After having gone 6 matches without a loss, 1 victory and 5 draws, Alberto Gilardino's men have restarted a negative dynamic. They logically lost against Inter 0-2 before falling against a direct competitor, Parma, last Monday 0-1.

Den Bosch

8:00 pm
Venlo
Den Bosch enter this clash with VVV-Venlo carrying a mixed bag of recent results but also a sense of resilience that has defined their campaign. Over the past two months, the club has been in the spotlight not only for football but also for local news, including civic issues in the city such as the Knoflook eviction case and disruptions in train services around Den Bosch. On the pitch, however, their form has been lively: a thrilling 5-2 victory over Almere City on November 21 showcased their attacking flair, while a 2-1 win against Willem II on November 28 reinforced their ability to grind out results against strong opposition. Despite setbacks like the 2-3 loss to Jong Utrecht and a narrow 1-2 defeat to Cambuur on December 5, Den Bosch remain competitive in the Eerste Divisie, sitting mid-table with ambitions to climb higher. Their blend of youthful energy and experienced leadership has made them unpredictable, but also dangerous when momentum is on their side.
VVV-Venlo, meanwhile, have endured a turbulent run of fixtures that has tested their consistency. In late November, they fell 0-3 to ADO Den Haag and 0-2 at home to Willem II, results that highlighted defensive vulnerabilities. Yet, their resilience shone through in early December when they stunned RKC Waalwijk with a dramatic 2-1 away win, sealed by Bjorn van Zijl’s stoppage-time strike. This victory was celebrated as a morale boost, especially after consecutive losses to Almere City and Den Haag. Off the pitch, Venlo have been active in strengthening their squad, with contract extensions such as Odriss signing until 2027, signaling long-term planning. Their youth players have also been making headlines, with Ummenthun and Dahia featuring in Oranje U15 futures matches, underlining the club’s commitment to nurturing talent. Despite their uneven form, Venlo remain a side capable of springing surprises, particularly when their attack clicks into gear.

Dordrecht
Friday, 12 December 2025
8:00 pm
Eindhoven FC
The upcoming Eerste Divisie fixture between FC Dordrecht and FC Eindhoven has generated considerable anticipation, especially given the fluctuating form of both sides in recent weeks. Dordrecht have been in the spotlight after their spirited 2-1 away victory against Roda on November 25, which was followed by a narrow 1-2 home defeat to Jong FC Utrecht on November 28. Earlier in November, they held Vitesse to a 1-1 draw and managed a goalless stalemate against Ajax B, showing resilience against technically strong opponents. However, their KNVB Cup exit at the hands of Willem II, where they suffered a heavy 7-0 defeat on October 30, raised questions about their defensive depth. Eindhoven, meanwhile, have had a mixed run, alternating between wins and losses, and their inconsistency has been a recurring theme in the past two months. This match therefore arrives at a crucial juncture for both clubs, with Dordrecht aiming to consolidate their mid-table position and Eindhoven desperate to climb out of the lower half.
Recent news surrounding Dordrecht has focused on their ability to score consistently at home, with statistics showing they find the net in nearly 80% of their home fixtures. Their attacking line, though not prolific, has been effective enough to trouble most defenses in the division. Eindhoven, on the other hand, have been highlighted for their variability away from home, with only about 30% of their recent away matches seeing them score. This inconsistency has been a major talking point among analysts, especially after their narrow wins earlier in November were followed by disappointing defeats. The tactical narrative heading into this clash emphasizes Dordrecht’s tendency to both score and concede, while Eindhoven’s unpredictability makes them a dangerous opponent if underestimated. The media has also noted the high number of corners both teams have been involved in recently, suggesting set pieces could play a decisive role in this encounter.

8:00 pm
Helmond
FC Emmen will welcome Helmond Sport in the Eerste Divisie on December 12, and the build-up to this fixture has been marked by contrasting fortunes for both sides. Emmen have shown resilience in recent weeks, bouncing back from a narrow defeat with a solid win and a couple of draws that kept them mid-table but competitive. Their home form has been particularly encouraging, with goals flowing at De Oude Meerdijk, and the team’s attacking unit has been praised for its consistency. In the past two months, Emmen’s ability to score in nearly every match has been a talking point, even if defensive lapses have occasionally cost them points. The club has also been in the news for its focus on youth development, with several academy players making appearances in the senior squad, a move that has been well received by supporters.
Helmond Sport, on the other hand, have endured a more turbulent period. Their last five matches have produced just one victory, alongside a draw and three defeats, leaving them struggling to find rhythm. Away from home, Helmond’s performances have been inconsistent, with defensive vulnerabilities exposed by sharper opponents. In recent weeks, the team has been in the spotlight for managerial adjustments, as tactical tweaks have been attempted to stabilize results. Despite these challenges, Helmond have shown flashes of promise, particularly in their win against a mid-table rival, where their counterattacking play was effective. However, the lack of sustained momentum has kept them closer to the lower half of the standings, and their supporters are eager for a turnaround before the winter break.

Penafiel
FC Porto B enter this clash against Penafiel with a mixture of resilience and ambition, having shown flashes of consistency in recent weeks. Under the guidance of João Brandão, the young squad has been tested against seasoned Liga Portugal 2 opponents, and their results reflect both promise and growing maturity. In November, Porto B secured a narrow but important 1-0 victory over Portimonense, followed by another strong performance in a 1-0 win away at Chaves. However, setbacks such as the 1-2 home defeat to Lusitânia and the 1-0 loss against Oliveirense highlighted the challenges of maintaining momentum in a competitive league. Their most recent fixture against Leixões on December 6 ended in defeat, but the team remains determined to bounce back, especially with the upcoming duel against Penafiel offering a chance to reaffirm their credentials.
Penafiel, meanwhile, arrive at this encounter with a mixed bag of results that underline their unpredictability. In early November, they impressed with a 3-1 away win against Vizela, showcasing attacking flair and defensive solidity. Yet, inconsistency has plagued their campaign, as seen in the 2-1 defeat to Marítimo on November 23 and the 2-0 loss against Academico de Viseu at the end of the month. More recently, on December 7, Penafiel managed a hard-fought draw against União de Leiria, which demonstrated their ability to grind out results even when not at their best. The team has also enjoyed notable victories, such as the 2-0 triumph over Benfica B in October, proving they can rise to the occasion against strong opposition. Their form suggests they are capable of troubling Porto B, but lapses in concentration have cost them valuable points.

Girona
At the heart of a good dynamic of five days without defeat in the elite, Real Sociedad fell back into its failings at the start of the season by piling up two defeats in two days against Villarreal at home 2-3 and on the lawn of Alaves last weekend 1-0. In the standings, the Basques fell back to 14th place with only four lengths ahead of Girona, the first team to be affected by the red zone. A perfect transition to evoke Girona, 18th and first relegated team. With four lengths behind their Basque counterpart in the evening, the Catalan team has every interest in launching a big blow at Anoeta this evening.
However, on the road this season, its only success came in the Copa del Rey against the modest formation of Constancia 2-3 after extra time. To date, the Blanquivermells have lost their last two matches on the road, in the 1/32 final of the Copa del Rey against Ourense 2-1 and in La Liga, last weekend, against a ruthless Elche team 3-0.

Cultural Leonesa enter this clash with renewed confidence after a string of mixed but encouraging results in LaLiga2. In early December, they stunned Eibar away with a 2-1 victory, thanks to goals from Manu Justo and Thiago Ojeda, showing resilience against a side that dominated possession. Just days earlier, they had also beaten Málaga 1-0 at home, while their November campaign included a 2-1 win away at Cádiz and a narrow 1-0 loss to Granada. These performances underline a team that has found balance between defensive solidity and opportunistic attacking play. The squad’s recent news has highlighted Ojeda’s growing influence, as his goals have been decisive in tight encounters, and the club’s management has praised the squad depth that has allowed them to rotate effectively during a congested fixture list.
Huesca, on the other hand, have endured a turbulent run in the past two months, oscillating between promising wins and disappointing defeats. Their most recent outing saw them fall heavily at home to Valladolid, losing 4-1, a result that exposed defensive frailties. However, they had previously secured a 2-0 home win against Sporting Gijón and battled to a goalless draw away at Almería, showing glimpses of resilience. Earlier in November, they were edged out 1-0 by Zaragoza, but also fought back to draw 2-2 with Andorra. News around the club has focused on their need to stabilize performances, with manager Bolo emphasizing the importance of tightening defensive organization while continuing to rely on the attacking spark of players like Soko, who remains their top scorer this season.

Middlesbrough head into their clash with Queens Park Rangers with renewed confidence after a mixed run of results in recent weeks. Michael Carrick’s side have been battling inconsistency but remain firmly in the hunt for a playoff spot. In November, Boro secured a crucial 4-0 victory over Preston North End, showcasing their attacking flair, while also grinding out a hard-fought 2-0 win against Stoke City. However, they stumbled against Ipswich Town, losing 2-0, which highlighted defensive vulnerabilities that Carrick has been keen to address. Off the pitch, Middlesbrough have been buoyed by the return of key players from injury, including Riley McGree, whose creativity in midfield has been sorely missed. The Riverside Stadium faithful will be expecting their team to build momentum as the festive fixtures pile up, knowing that every point is vital in the Championship’s relentless race.
Queens Park Rangers, meanwhile, have been fighting to climb away from the relegation zone under the guidance of Martí Cifuentes, who took charge in late October. The new manager has already made an impact, with QPR securing a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Stoke City in November and following it up with a gritty 1-1 draw against Norwich City. Yet, inconsistency remains a problem, as seen in their 4-0 defeat to Leeds United and a narrow 2-1 loss to Watford. The past two months have been turbulent, but there is a sense of cautious optimism around Loftus Road, with the squad showing signs of adapting to Cifuentes’ tactical demands. The likes of Ilias Chair and Lyndon Dykes have been central to their attacking efforts, though defensive lapses have continued to cost them valuable points. QPR’s supporters are hoping that the team can string together results to ease relegation fears.

Millwall’s upcoming clash with Hull City at The Den arrives at a crucial point in the Championship season, with both sides eager to solidify their mid-table positions and push closer to the playoff spots. Over the past two months, Millwall have been dealing with injury concerns, notably Billy Mitchell’s hamstring issue and Benicio Baker-Boaitey’s groin problem, which have limited squad rotation. Despite these setbacks, the Lions have shown resilience, recording victories against Bristol City and Coventry while narrowly losing to Southampton. Their home form has been particularly encouraging, as The Den continues to be a difficult venue for visiting teams, with the crowd’s intensity often translating into strong performances.

Arsenal have been riding high at the top of the table, collecting consistent victories and showing a level of maturity that has impressed pundits and supporters alike. In the past two months, they secured a convincing 2-0 win over Brentford and followed it up with another strong performance against Brighton, continuing their push for the title. Mikel Arteta’s side has been praised for its defensive solidity and attacking flair, with players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus contributing heavily to their momentum. The atmosphere around the club is buoyant, with fans believing this could be the season Arsenal finally reclaim the Premier League crown.
Wolves, on the other hand, arrive in London under very different circumstances. Their recent form has been troubling, with defeats piling up and confidence visibly shaken. In the last two months, Wolves suffered a damaging loss to Nottingham Forest and were held to a frustrating draw against Burnley, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table. Gary O’Neil has struggled to find a balance in his squad, with defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge in attack undermining their efforts. The club’s supporters are growing increasingly anxious, as Wolves currently sit in 20th place with only two points to show for their campaign. The contrast between the two sides could not be starker, and this fixture represents a daunting challenge for the visitors.

Fulham
Burnley prepare to host Fulham at Turf Moor in what promises to be a tense Premier League clash. The Clarets have endured a difficult run of form over the past two months, slipping deeper into relegation trouble. Their recent defeats to Arsenal, West Ham, Chelsea, Brentford, and Crystal Palace have highlighted defensive frailties and a lack of cutting edge in attack. Manager Scott Parker has admitted frustration after narrow losses, particularly the 0-1 home defeat to Palace at the start of December. Burnley remain stuck in 19th place with just ten points, and the pressure is mounting as they look to salvage their season. The home crowd will demand a response, but confidence is low after six defeats in their last seven league outings.
Fulham, meanwhile, arrive in Lancashire with a mixed bag of results but a stronger position in the table. Marco Silva’s side stunned Tottenham with a 2-1 away victory at the end of November and followed it up with a narrow 1-0 win over Sunderland. However, their defensive vulnerabilities were exposed in a chaotic 4-5 defeat to Manchester City at Craven Cottage earlier this month, a game that showcased both their attacking flair and their inability to contain elite opposition. Fulham sit 15th with 17 points, offering them some breathing space above the relegation zone. News around the club has focused on Silva’s insistence that his team must tighten up defensively if they are to push further up the table during the festive period.

Everton
Chelsea head into their clash with Everton at Stamford Bridge with renewed confidence after a turbulent start to the season. Over the past two months, the Blues have shown signs of improvement under Mauricio Pochettino, with notable victories including a 2-0 win over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and a hard-fought 3-2 triumph against Brighton in the Premier League. Despite a setback against Manchester United in early December, Chelsea’s attacking play has been sharper, with Cole Palmer emerging as a key figure in their forward line. The squad has also been buoyed by the return of Reece James from injury, although his fitness remains closely monitored. News surrounding Chelsea has focused on their push to climb the table and secure European qualification, a goal that seemed distant earlier in the campaign but now appears more realistic given their recent performances.
Everton, meanwhile, have endured a rollercoaster period marked by off-field drama and on-pitch resilience. The club was docked ten points in November due to breaches of financial regulations, a punishment that initially dropped them into the relegation zone. However, Sean Dyche’s side responded admirably, securing crucial wins against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, while also battling to a gritty draw against Brighton. Their victory over Burnley in early December highlighted the team’s fighting spirit, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin rediscovering some form and Jordan Pickford continuing to provide stability in goal. The Toffees’ supporters have rallied behind the team despite the sanctions, and the players have shown determination to prove they can survive and thrive in the Premier League regardless of the off-field challenges.

Brighton
Liverpool’s clash with Brighton in the Premier League promises to be one of the more intriguing fixtures of the winter schedule. Jurgen Klopp’s side have been in strong form over the past two months, with notable victories including a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Anfield and a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Manchester City at the Etihad. The Reds have also advanced in the Europa League, defeating Sparta Prague convincingly in March. Recent headlines have focused on Mohamed Salah’s return from injury, which has boosted Liverpool’s attacking options, while young midfielder Conor Bradley has continued to impress with his energetic performances. The team’s consistency has kept them firmly in the title race, and this match against Brighton is seen as another crucial step in maintaining momentum.
Brighton, meanwhile, have endured a mixed run of results in the past two months. Roberto De Zerbi’s side secured a memorable 5-0 victory over Sheffield United in February, showcasing their attacking flair, but they also suffered defeats against Fulham and Tottenham, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Their Europa League campaign ended in disappointment after being knocked out by Roma, which has shifted their focus entirely to domestic competition. Injuries have been a concern, with key players such as Kaoru Mitoma sidelined, but the emergence of youngsters like Facundo Buonanotte has provided some optimism. Brighton’s style remains bold and adventurous, but their inconsistency has left them battling to stay in the top half of the table rather than pushing for European qualification.

PSG
FC Metz is experiencing the first months of adaptation to the level of Ligue 1 at the roller coaster pace. While he thought he had done the hardest part by snatching 3 wins in a row between the 10th and 12th day to get out of the relegation zone, the promoted player has since fallen back into his ways. The good series ended last month in Brest 3-2 for Grenats also beaten against Rennes 0-1 and Sunday at Auxerre 3-1. Doubled in the standings by its last tormentor, Metz once again became bottom of Ligue 1, 4 points behind the first non-relegation place.
PSG has one last opportunity to regain control of the Championship before the end of year break. Dispossessed of the throne by Lens after its misstep in Monaco 1-0 at the end of November, the best defense in Ligue 1 remains one point behind the northern club despite its big victory against Rennes 5-0. The Rouge et Bleu, however, had a major trip to negotiate on Wednesday in Bilbao for the Champions League, before focusing on the national calendar.

Toulouse
Paris FC welcome Toulouse to the Stade Jean Bouin in what promises to be a fascinating Ligue 1 clash. Over the past two months, Paris FC have been working hard to stabilize their campaign after a rocky start. Their recent 1-1 draw against Auxerre showed signs of resilience, with Ilan Kebbal finding the net to secure a point. Before that, they battled to another draw against Le Havre, though they suffered a setback in a defeat to Lille earlier in December. The team has been praised for tightening its defensive structure, even if consistency in attack remains elusive. News around the club has focused on their determination to avoid slipping into the relegation zone, with coach Stéphane Gilli emphasizing discipline and balance in midfield.
Toulouse, meanwhile, arrive with a slightly stronger run of form, though they too have faced challenges. In the past two months, Toulouse managed a hard-fought win but followed it with a string of draws, including stalemates against Montpellier and Brest. Their resilience has been notable, as they have avoided heavy defeats, but the lack of cutting edge in front of goal has been a recurring theme. Toulouse’s squad news has highlighted the importance of keeping key players fit, especially after injuries disrupted their rhythm earlier in the season. The club has also been in the spotlight for its youth development, with several academy graduates earning minutes in recent fixtures, a sign of long-term planning despite the immediate pressures of Ligue 1 competition.

Brest
Stade Rennais saw its enchanted parenthesis close last Saturday at the Parc des Princes, scene of a severe defeat against PSG 5-0. The Rouge et Noir then remained on 4 victories, which allowed them to emerge from the crisis and gain a lot of confidence, notably with convincing successes against Strasbourg 4-1 and Monaco 4-1. 6th in Ligue 1, 5 lengths from the podium, Rennes is in the midst of qualifying for a European Cup.
The other Breton team in this poster, Brest 10th, remains on victories gleaned against Metz 3-2 at the end of the suspense, Strasbourg 1-2 in a stunning match and Monaco despite a last half hour played in numerical inferiority 1-0. This prosperous period, the club's best in the first part of the season, brings SB 29 one point closer to the upper half of the ranking and moves it 8 points away from the first relegation zone.

Wolfsburg
Weighed down by the first months of completely unsuccessful competition, Borussia Mönchengladbach cannot claim to play the leading roles in this championship. That said, this team is now doing much better since it has had a very good series of 5 matches without the slightest defeat in the league and even 4 successes over this period. The Poulains in fact took the measure of Sankt Pauli 0-4, Cologne 3-1 and Heidenheim 0-3 before holding off RB Leipzig 0-0. Then surprised by Sankt Pauli in the German Cup 1-2, the Gladbach players immediately reassured themselves by dominating Mainz 0-1. In the standings, Borussia is now in 10th place with a lead of 5 points over the first relegation place.
Opposite, Wolfsburg is experiencing a first part of the season well below forecasts. While we could have expected it to play at least one place in the first part of the table, this team finds itself in difficulty, in 15th position in the ranking, with only one small point ahead of the red zone. Completely on the street in recent weeks, VfL had suffered 3 defeats in a row against Hoffenheim 2-3, Werder Bremen 2-1 and Bayer Leverkusen 1-3 before stopping the bleeding against Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1. Finally, last week, the Wolves found their smile again by winning against Union Berlin 3-1.

Eintracht Frankfurt

Augsburg
Although it displays fairly obvious qualities, Eintracht Frankfurt is clearly not at the level of the best teams in Germany, due in particular to a defensive fragility which was once again evident last week on the field of Leipzig 6-0. Moreover, with 29 goals conceded in 13 days, the Eagles have the worst record in the Bundesliga in this register despite their 7th place in the general ranking. However, before this correction, they remained on 2 good successes obtained against Mainz 1-0 and Cologne 3-4 and on a draw obtained against Wolfsburg 1-1. On deck in the Champions League this week, Eintracht went to FC Barcelona for the 6th day of the league phase where it will be complicated to qualify for the play-offs. For its part, Augsburg obviously does not have the same ambitions for the top of the table and hopes of European qualification as its opponent of the day.
On the contrary, this team risks having to fight for a good while longer to validate its continuation for next season. That said, Sandro Wagner's men have given themselves a little breathing room by winning 2 of their last 3 league matches, each time at home, against Hamburg 1-0 and especially Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 last weekend. In the meantime, the Bavarians were still beaten quite severely on the Hoffenheim field 3-0. In the ranking, Augsburg occupies 14th place, 2 lengths ahead of the red zone.

Hamburger SV
After coming very close to relegation to the 2.Bundesliga which would have been an industrial disaster, Hoffenheim is rebounding in a very good way this year. This team is indeed at the gates of the top 4 qualifying for the Champions League, in 5th position, with a delay of 5 points on 4th place Bayer Leverkusen after its bad operation carried out last weekend against Dortmund 2-0. Before that, the TSG maintained an excellent dynamic since it had achieved 3 successes in 4 days against Wolfsburg 2-3, Leipzig 3-1, Mainz 1-1 and finally Augsburg 3-0. Opposite, Hamburg has only one very clear objective this season: to secure its maintenance as quickly as possible after having spent very long years at the lower level.
The promoted teams are currently on time in terms of their passing times since they are in 13th place in the ranking with 15 points on the clock, 4 more than the first relegated team, Heidenheim. Hooked by Dortmund 1-1 and beaten by Augsburg 1-0, the HSV players then went on to win two victories against Stuttgart 2-1 and Werder Bremen 3-2 last week. In the meantime, they still saw their road end in the German Cup against Holstein Kiel 1-1, 2-4 Tab.

Heidenheim
How complicated it is this season for this Sankt Pauli team. However, this team based in Hamburg had started quite strongly with 7 points taken during the first 3 days. But then, the Pirates of the League saw their ship sink by following a terrible series of 9 defeats in a row in the Bundesliga, against Freiburg 2-1, Union Berlin 0-1 and Bayern Munich 3-1 to name only the last ones. That said, things are a little better now for Pauli who was able to qualify for the quarter-finals of the German Cup after his victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-2 and his draw against Cologne last weekend 1-1. Nevertheless, the locals remain 17th in the ranking, 4 lengths behind the first non-relegation place.
Heidenheim, for his part, has also revived for a few days while he too seemed to be at rock bottom a few days ago. Quite soundly beaten by Bayer Leverkusen 6-0 and by Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-3, this team was able to pound the table by winning on the field of Union Berlin 1-2. And FCH was then able to follow up by dominating Friborg 2-1 last weekend. Two successes which allowed it to move up to 16th place in the ranking, a short distance from the first non-relegation place.

Cagliari
Atalanta enter this clash at the Gewiss Stadium with renewed confidence after a convincing 4-0 victory over Genoa in late November, a result that lifted spirits following a mixed run of form earlier in the autumn. Over the past two months, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side has alternated between strong attacking displays and frustrating lapses, including a narrow defeat to Fiorentina and a hard-fought draw against Torino. News from Bergamo has also centered on the fitness of key midfielders, with Teun Koopmeiners returning to training after a minor knock, which could prove crucial in stabilizing their creative output. The team currently sits mid-table, but their recent resurgence suggests they are eager to climb higher before the winter break.
Cagliari, on the other hand, arrive in Bergamo with a more complicated narrative. Under Fabio Pisacane, the Sardinian side has struggled to find consistency, losing to Napoli in early December after previously holding Bologna to a draw. Their last two months have been marked by defensive frailties, conceding multiple goals against Inter and Lazio, though they did manage a gritty win over Empoli that provided a brief spark of optimism. News from the camp has highlighted the importance of Leonardo Pavoletti’s leadership, as the veteran striker continues to inspire younger teammates despite limited minutes. Sitting just above the relegation zone, Cagliari’s priority remains survival, and every point gained away from home carries immense value.

Lazio
Parma enter this clash with Lazio carrying the weight of a turbulent couple of months. Their recent fixtures have been a mixed bag, with a morale-boosting 1-0 win away at Pisa thanks to Adrian Benedyczak’s penalty, but also painful defeats against Udinese and Bologna. Earlier in November, they managed a crucial 2-1 victory over Hellas Verona, which briefly lifted spirits in their relegation battle. However, their Coppa Italia exit at the hands of Bologna underscored the inconsistency that has plagued them. The team’s struggles in maintaining defensive solidity have been evident, conceding multiple goals against Roma and Milan, though they did manage a spirited 2-2 draw against the Rossoneri. Parma’s challenge remains balancing their attacking intent with the need to avoid costly lapses at the back, especially as they hover dangerously close to the relegation zone.
Lazio, on the other hand, arrive in Parma with a sense of cautious optimism. Maurizio Sarri’s side recently drew 1-1 with Bologna in a tense encounter that saw Mario Gila sent off, forcing them to defend with ten men. Just days before, they had knocked AC Milan out of the Coppa Italia with a narrow 1-0 win, courtesy of Mattia Zaccagni’s decisive header, showing resilience and tactical discipline. In Serie A, their form has been uneven, with defeats to Milan and Inter, but also convincing wins against Lecce and Cagliari. This inconsistency has left them mid-table, trailing the European qualification spots but still within striking distance. The Biancocelesti’s ability to control possession and create chances has been evident, yet their finishing and defensive lapses have often undermined their progress. Facing Parma, they will be eager to assert dominance while avoiding the complacency that has cost them points in recent weeks.

Cremonese
Torino prepare to host Cremonese in Serie A on December 13, 2025, with both sides entering the clash in contrasting moods. Torino have endured a mixed run of form over the past two months, struggling to find consistency despite flashes of quality. Their recent defeat against Lecce by 2-1 highlighted defensive lapses that have plagued them, though they did manage to secure a hard-fought draw against Fiorentina earlier in November. News around the club has focused on coach Marco Baroni’s attempts to stabilize the squad and extract more from experienced forwards like Duván Zapata, who has been central to their attacking play. Torino’s home record remains relatively solid, and the fans at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino will expect a response after recent setbacks.
Cremonese, on the other hand, have shown resilience in recent weeks, picking up valuable points that have kept them mid-table. Their victory over Empoli in late November was a statement of intent, while a narrow loss to Roma demonstrated their ability to compete against stronger opposition. In October, they managed a gritty draw against Bologna, underlining their defensive organization and tactical discipline. News surrounding Cremonese has highlighted their steady improvement under coach Giovanni Stroppa, with the team climbing to 11th place in the standings. The squad’s balance between experienced campaigners and emerging talents has given them a competitive edge, and their away performances have been marked by determination even when results have not always gone their way.

Groningen’s return to the Eredivisie has been one of the most talked-about stories in Dutch football over the past two months. After securing promotion, the club has been busy strengthening its squad, with recent news highlighting the arrival of young talents and the extension of contracts for key players. Groningen’s management has emphasized stability and growth, aiming to avoid the struggles that led to their relegation two seasons ago. In November, Groningen played a spirited match against NEC Nijmegen, securing a 2-1 victory that showcased their resilience. They followed it up with a hard-fought draw against Fortuna Sittard, where their defensive organization was tested but held firm. These performances have given fans optimism that the team can establish itself again as a competitive force in the Eredivisie.
FC Volendam, meanwhile, has been battling to climb out of the lower half of the table, and the past two months have been turbulent for them. News broke in October that the club’s management was considering changes in the coaching staff due to inconsistent results, though they ultimately decided to back their current manager. Volendam’s recent matches have been a mixed bag: they suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against PSV Eindhoven, which exposed their defensive frailties, but bounced back with a narrow 2-1 win over Excelsior. In their most recent outing, Volendam drew 1-1 with Heerenveen, a match that highlighted both their attacking potential and their inability to close games out. The team’s supporters remain hopeful, but the pressure is mounting as they look to secure points against stronger opponents.

Heracles
PSV Eindhoven enter their clash with Heracles Almelo riding a wave of confidence that has been building steadily over the past two months. The Dutch giants stunned Europe with a remarkable 4-1 victory away at Liverpool in late November, a result that showcased their attacking flair and tactical discipline. Domestically, PSV remain dominant at the top of the Eredivisie, having recently defeated Heerenveen 2-0 on December 6, with goals from Joey Veerman and Ricardo Pepi. Their consistency under Peter Bosz has been remarkable, with the team winning 13 of their first 15 league matches, scoring freely and conceding very few. The squad’s depth and balance have allowed them to rotate effectively between Eredivisie and Champions League commitments, and the upcoming fixture against Heracles is another opportunity to underline their superiority.
Heracles Almelo, by contrast, have endured a more turbulent period in the Eredivisie. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-1 draw against Telstar on December 6, with Ivan Mesik scoring late to salvage a point. This result followed a string of mixed performances, including defeats and narrow wins that have kept them hovering near the lower end of the table. Despite flashes of resilience, Heracles have struggled to maintain consistency, often conceding goals in crucial moments. The team’s defensive frailties have been exposed repeatedly, and while their attack has shown occasional promise, it has not been enough to offset their vulnerabilities. The upcoming match against PSV represents a daunting challenge, especially given the gulf in form and confidence between the two sides.

Sittard
PEC Zwolle enter this clash with Fortuna Sittard at the MAC³PARK Stadion after a turbulent but improving run of form. In late November, Zwolle managed a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Heerenveen, which followed a 2-2 draw away at Groningen and a narrow 1-0 win against Sparta Rotterdam. However, their cup journey ended on December 3rd with a 1-3 defeat to AZ Alkmaar, showing the squad still struggles against top-tier opposition. Off the pitch, Zwolle recently presented their annual report, highlighting financial stability despite operational losses, and the club also held a memorial match to honor deceased supporters. These developments have added emotional weight to their December fixtures, making this encounter with Sittard more than just another league game.
Fortuna Sittard, meanwhile, arrive with mixed fortunes. Their most recent Eredivisie outing saw them fall 1-3 at home to Ajax on December 6th, despite Kaj Sierhuis giving them an early lead. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 with Heracles Almelo and also shared points in a 1-1 stalemate against Sparta Rotterdam. A brighter moment came on November 8th when they defeated Heerenveen 2-0, showcasing their ability to capitalize on home advantage. News around the club has focused on their resilience despite disciplinary issues, such as Justin Hubner’s red card against Ajax, and their upcoming KNVB Beker tie against Almere City later in December. Coach Danny Buijs has emphasized consistency, but Fortuna’s defensive lapses remain a concern.

Tondela
The upcoming clash between Nacional and Tondela in Liga Portugal has drawn attention not only because of their positions in the table but also due to the narratives surrounding both clubs in recent weeks. Nacional, currently hovering around mid-table, has been trying to stabilize after a tough run of fixtures. In late November, they faced Benfica and fell 1-2, a result that highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities but also showed flashes of attacking promise. Earlier in December, Nacional traveled to Alverca and secured a narrow 1-0 victory, which gave them a much-needed boost heading into this fixture. The team’s coach Tiago Margarido has emphasized the importance of home advantage at Estádio da Madeira, where the fans have been vocal in their support despite inconsistent performances. The news around the club has also focused on their resilience, with pundits noting that Nacional’s younger players are beginning to step up in crucial moments.
Tondela, on the other hand, has endured a turbulent period in the past two months, with results swinging between disappointment and relief. In early November, they drew 2-2 against AVS, showing attacking intent but defensive lapses. A week later, they lost 0-1 at home to Vitória Guimarães, which compounded their struggles. Their Taça de Portugal campaign ended in heartbreak when they were eliminated by Caldas on penalties after a goalless draw. However, Tondela bounced back with a gritty 1-0 away win against Gil Vicente at the end of November, a result that lifted spirits in the camp. Most recently, they faced FC Porto on December 7 and suffered a 0-2 defeat, a match where they were largely outplayed but still managed to create a few chances. The team’s manager Cristiano Bacci has been under pressure, but he insists that the squad is capable of turning things around with discipline and focus.

SC Farense
Academico Viseu enter this clash with confidence after a strong run of results in recent weeks. In November, they held AVS Futebol SAD to a goalless draw in the Taca de Portugal, but quickly bounced back with impressive league victories. They defeated Felgueiras 1932 away by 3-1, overcame Lusitania Lourosa 3-2 at home, and produced a stunning 5-1 win against Leixões. This sequence of matches has highlighted their attacking depth and resilience, with goals coming from multiple players rather than relying on a single striker. The club has also been in the news with Rafael Barbosa’s return to Portuguese football, a move that adds further creativity to their midfield options. With their current form, Viseu are positioning themselves as one of the most consistent sides in Liga Portugal 2.
SC Farense, on the other hand, have had a more mixed set of performances over the past two months. They managed to secure wins against lower-ranked opponents but have struggled to maintain momentum against stronger sides. Their defensive line has been under scrutiny, especially after the departure of Brazilian defender Lucas Africo, who bid farewell to the club recently after a notable stint in Portuguese football. Farense’s last five matches have included draws and narrow defeats, showing that while they remain competitive, they lack the cutting edge to consistently secure three points. Their supporters are hopeful that the team can stabilize, but the recent inconsistency has raised questions about their ability to challenge the top half of the table.

Motherwell
Dundee United approach their clash with Motherwell under a cloud of inconsistency, with recent weeks highlighting both resilience and fragility. In early December, Jim Goodwin’s side battled Rangers to a spirited 2-2 draw at Tannadice, only to follow it up with a disappointing 2-0 defeat away to St Mirren. November had already exposed their defensive vulnerabilities, as Falkirk stunned them 3-0 at Tannadice, while Kilmarnock held them to a 1-1 draw. News from the past two months has been dominated by Goodwin’s calls for more “heart” in performances, alongside injury concerns for Krisztian Keresztes, who has been ruled out of key fixtures. The Tangerines remain in mid-table, but their inability to convert draws into wins has left supporters questioning whether the squad has the depth to sustain a push higher up the Premiership standings.
Motherwell, by contrast, have shown signs of momentum under Jens Berthel Askou, with December beginning brightly thanks to a commanding 3-0 victory over Livingston. Their November run was equally encouraging, with wins against Hibernian (2-0) and Kilmarnock (3-1), alongside a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Aberdeen. Even in stalemates, such as the 0-0 against Hearts and Falkirk, the Steelmen demonstrated defensive solidity that has been missing in previous campaigns. News around the club has focused on Askou’s tactical tweaks, particularly his willingness to rotate the squad to maintain energy levels, and the emergence of younger talents who have added depth to the side. With Motherwell climbing steadily in the table, optimism has returned to Fir Park, and fans are beginning to believe this team can challenge consistently for a top-six finish.

Atl. Madrid

Valencia
Largely beaten by Barça at the Camp Nou 3-1, Atlético Madrid thought they were recovering from a more than sick Athletic Bilbao but even there, Atléti did not manage to win a 1-0 defeat. Two successive defeats in La Liga, we have a feeling of "déjà vu" for the Colchoneros who had started their La Liga campaign very, very badly. Fourth, the Madrilenians are 9 lengths behind FC Barcelona, in control of the championship. During the week, a new match of fear awaited the partners of Antoine Griezmann, on the turf of PSV in the Champions League but in a crazy scenario, they brought back the 3 points in a 2-3 victory, putting themselves perfectly back in the race for the top 8. Let us note, however, that at home, Atlético is a real impregnable fortress. The last two defeats at the Metropolitano date back to April, against Barça twice, in the league and in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey. 6 times champion of Spain, Valencia is far from its former glory which carried it to the final of the Champions League in 2000 and 2001.
Today, the Ché club is jockeying for position in the race to remain, and has been doing so for several seasons now. The supporters must have had difficulty seeing the end of the tunnel, especially since their team has only won one of its last ten matches in the elite. Last weekend, for the reception of FC Sevilla, led for a long time, Valencia finally managed to snatch the point of the draw thanks to the excellent Duro, author of a beautiful marvel of number 9 1-1. A few days earlier, in pain, Carlos Corberan's men overcame Cartagena in the Copa del Rey victory 1-2 after extra time. In La Liga, Valencia is in 16th place, three points ahead of Girona, who played at Real Sociedad the day before.

Osasuna
Barcelona head into their clash with Osasuna at Montjuïc Olympic Stadium on December 13 with confidence riding high after a string of strong performances in LaLiga. Under Hansi Flick, the Catalan side has surged to the top of the table with 37 points, showing consistency in both attack and defense. In the past two months, Barcelona have beaten Atlético Madrid 3-1, secured a convincing 2-0 win over Real Betis, and edged past Villarreal in a tight 1-0 encounter. The team has also been buoyed by the return of key players from injury, with Pedri and Frenkie de Jong regaining fitness and adding depth to the midfield. Flick’s tactical adjustments, particularly the use of João Félix in a more fluid attacking role, have given Barcelona a sharper edge in the final third.
Osasuna, meanwhile, arrive at this fixture struggling to find rhythm, sitting 17th in the table with only 12 points. Their recent form has been mixed, with a 2-2 draw against Getafe, a narrow 1-0 defeat to Sevilla, and a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Granada. However, they were undone by Athletic Bilbao in a 3-0 loss, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities that have plagued them throughout the season. In the past two months, coach Alessio Lisci has attempted to stabilize the squad by rotating his backline and relying on the creativity of Aimar Oroz and Chimy Ávila in attack. Despite flashes of resilience, Osasuna’s inability to consistently close out games has left them hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone.

Espanyol
Getafe welcome Espanyol to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez in mid-December for a LaLiga clash that promises to be tight and tactical. In recent weeks, Getafe have been battling inconsistency, alternating between wins and losses, which has kept them hovering around mid-table. Their last few matches included a narrow defeat against Real Sociedad and a hard-fought draw against Valencia, showing both resilience and vulnerability. Espanyol, meanwhile, have been slightly more adventurous, securing a notable victory over Athletic Bilbao before suffering a setback against Villarreal. Both teams have been in the headlines over the past two months, with Getafe focusing on squad depth issues and Espanyol dealing with injury concerns to key forwards, making this fixture particularly intriguing.
The form guide suggests neither side has managed to establish dominance in recent weeks. Getafe’s home record has been modest, with their last ten home games producing fewer than two goals in most outings, highlighting their defensive-first approach. Espanyol, on the other hand, have shown more attacking intent away from home, scoring in the majority of their recent travels, though their defensive lapses have cost them points. In November, Espanyol managed a gritty win against Celta Vigo but followed it up with a disappointing loss to Sevilla, underlining their unpredictable nature. Getafe’s November fixtures included a victory over Granada but also a frustrating defeat to Mallorca, reinforcing the sense that they remain difficult to trust for consistent results.

Mallorca

Elche
Mallorca welcome Elche in a LaLiga clash that carries weight for both sides, as each has struggled to find consistent rhythm in recent weeks. The hosts have shown signs of resilience, grinding out back-to-back draws against Espanyol and Celta Vigo, while also holding Villarreal to a stalemate at Son Moix. Their defensive organization has improved, but goals remain scarce, with Vedat Muriqi often carrying the burden in attack. In the past two months, Mallorca’s focus has been on stabilizing their mid-table position, and the club has emphasized the importance of turning home draws into victories to avoid slipping closer to the relegation zone. The atmosphere around the team is cautiously optimistic, with fans hoping that their steady performances can finally translate into three points.
Elche, on the other hand, arrive with a mixed bag of results that highlight both promise and vulnerability. They managed a spirited win over Girona, showcasing attacking flair through Lucas Boyé, but defeats against Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao exposed their defensive frailties. In November, Elche’s management stressed the need for greater balance, as the team has conceded too many goals away from home. Their recent form reads inconsistently, with losses outweighing wins, yet the victory against Girona was a reminder that they can trouble opponents when their forwards find space. The past two months have also seen Elche experimenting with tactical adjustments, particularly in midfield, to reduce the gaps that opponents have exploited. Supporters remain hopeful, but the team’s away record continues to raise concerns.

Eibar
Cordoba’s clash with Eibar in LaLiga2 this December comes at a time when both clubs are navigating turbulent form and trying to stabilize their campaigns. Cordoba, who have shown flashes of resilience at home, recently endured a tough run of fixtures. In late November, they fell 1-2 to Cadiz despite dominating possession, and earlier drew 1-1 away at Granada. Their struggles were evident in the 1-3 defeat against Deportivo La Coruña, but they also managed to secure a 2-2 draw at Malaga and a convincing 2-0 home win over Ceuta. News around the club has focused on their defensive lapses and the need to tighten up at the back, while fans remain optimistic about their attacking talents like Dalisson De Almeida Leite, who has been a bright spark in recent matches. The upcoming fixture against Eibar is being billed as a test of Cordoba’s ability to convert possession into points.
Eibar, on the other hand, arrive at Estadio Nuevo Arcángel with their own set of challenges. Their November fixtures highlighted inconsistency, beginning with a 1-3 loss at Almeria and followed by a narrow 3-2 home win against Albacete. They then drew 1-1 away at Sporting Gijón, but consecutive defeats to Zaragoza (1-2) and Racing Santander (0-4) exposed vulnerabilities in their defense. News from the past two months has centered on their struggles to maintain momentum, with manager Beñat San José under pressure to find balance between attack and defense. Injuries have also played a role, with key players like Madariaga sidelined since October, further complicating their lineup options. Despite these setbacks, Eibar remain a dangerous side capable of punishing opponents on the counter.

Real Valladolid enter this clash with a sense of renewed confidence after a turbulent but productive stretch over the past two months. Their recent league run has included a commanding 4–1 win away at Huesca, a hard‑fought 1–1 draw against Málaga, and narrow defeats to Real Sociedad B and Las Palmas. These results reflect a team that has been inconsistent but capable of explosive performances when their attacking rhythm clicks. Off the pitch, the club has been in the news for squad rotation decisions and tactical tweaks aimed at stabilizing their form as they push to stay competitive in the upper half of the table. The mood around José Zorrilla has been cautiously optimistic, with supporters encouraged by the flashes of quality shown in recent weeks.
FC Andorra, meanwhile, approach this fixture with a very different narrative. Their last two months have been marked by a string of difficult results, including losses to Almería, Castellón, and Albacete, alongside draws against Sporting Gijón and Huesca. Despite these setbacks, Andorra have shown resilience, often staying competitive deep into matches even when results have slipped away. The club has also been in the headlines due to discussions about improving defensive solidity after conceding multiple late goals in recent outings. Their recent Copa del Rey elimination against Cultural Leonesa added further pressure, but the squad remains determined to turn their season around.

Cadiz CF
Real Zaragoza enter this clash with Cadiz CF in LaLiga2 carrying a sense of urgency after a mixed run of results in recent weeks. In November, Zaragoza announced the return of key midfielder Toni Moya from injury, which has been seen as a boost to their creativity in the middle of the park. Their recent fixtures have been inconsistent: a narrow 1-0 defeat against Sporting Gijón was followed by a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Burgos, and then a morale-boosting 1-0 victory over Racing Santander. The team has been praised for its defensive resilience but criticized for a lack of cutting edge in attack, something that has been a recurring theme throughout the season. Fans are hopeful that the squad’s balance between youth and experience can finally deliver consistent performances, especially in matches against direct rivals like Cadiz.
Cadiz CF, relegated from LaLiga earlier this year, have been adjusting to life in the second tier with mixed fortunes. In the past two months, the club made headlines by parting ways with veteran striker Álvaro Negredo, who left in October, signaling a shift toward younger attacking options. Their recent matches have shown both promise and vulnerability: a 1-1 draw against Levante highlighted their defensive organization, while a 2-0 defeat to Valladolid exposed their struggles in front of goal. However, they bounced back with a gritty 1-0 win over Eldense, showing that they can grind out results when needed. Cadiz’s supporters remain optimistic that the team can push for promotion, but the lack of consistent scoring has been a concern, especially against sides that defend deep and counter quickly.

Leeds
Well wedged in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Brentford today occupies 14th place in the Premier League with 6 points behind the last European folding seat and 6 ahead of the first relegation place. It's often all or nothing with the Bees who have won 4 of their last 8 championship matches, losing 4. After gaining the upper hand at home over relegated Burnley 3-1, they conceded expected setbacks at Arsenal 2-0 and Tottenham last weekend 2-0. Back in the elite this season, Leeds are currently 16th in the Premier League and are 2 points ahead of the red zone.
After having suffered four losses in a row, Daniel Farke's men resumed their march forward during the last two days played at home. This allowed them to get a breath of fresh air. Leeds first created a surprise by beating Chelsea 3-1 before holding Liverpool to a draw last weekend 3-3.

Crystal Palace is reaching an important milestone in its project and today occupies 4th place in the Premier League, 1 point ahead of 5th place. The London team hopes to go the distance in order to join the fight for the European folding seats or even for the next Champions League. Confidently, the Eagles have only lost one of their last 6 championship matches, for 4 victories and 1 draw. Beaten at home by Manchester United 1-2, they then won on the lawns of Burnley 0-1 and Fulham last weekend 1-2. Champion of England continuously from 2021 to 2024, Manchester City hopes to regain the title this season.
Trailing for a while, the Skyblues took advantage of Arsenal's recent drop in performance to get back into the race. Indeed, they are currently 2nd in the Premier League and are 2 points behind 1st place. The Citizens are at their advantage these days, as evidenced by the 5 successes gleaned during the last 6 days, for 1 defeat. After a loss to Newcastle 2-1, they in turn dominated Leeds 3-2, Fulham 4-5 and Sunderland last weekend 3-0.

Tottenham
Not at the same level as in the previous year, Nottingham Forest may have to work hard to avoid a decline this season. Authors of an alarming start to the championship, Morgan Gibbs-White's teammates have regained momentum following the arrival on the bench of Sean Dyche. Indeed, they have pocketed 3 victories in the last 5 days, for 2 defeats. This allows them to be 17th in the Premier League with 2 points ahead of the red zone. After winning at bottom side Wolverhampton 0-1, the Nottingham club fell to Everton last weekend 3-0. Eager to fight for the European seats this season, Tottenham is currently 11th in the Premier League and concedes 3 points in 5th place.
The Spurs got off to a very good start before seriously marking time with a string of 5 games without a win, 2 draws and 3 defeats. They put an end to this bad dynamic last weekend. After bringing back a good point from Newcastle 2-2, the London team got the better of Brentford 2-0. This week, Tottenham easily won against Slavia Prague in the Champions League 3-0.

Newcastle
Sunderland defied the predictions for its return to the elite and quickly distanced itself from the fight for maintenance. Indeed, the promoted team now occupies 9th place in the Premier League, 2 points behind the last European folding seat. Less irresistible in recent weeks, the Black Cats have won only one of their last 6 championship matches, for 3 draws and 2 defeats. After taking a good point from Liverpool 1-1, they were soundly beaten in the lair of Manchester City last weekend 3-0.
Behind on their progress table, Newcastle is currently 12th in the Premier League and is 1 point behind their opponent of the day. The Magpies have suffered from chronic irregularity but seem to have found the right fuel in recent weeks, as evidenced by their current series of 4 matches without defeat, 3 victories and 1 draw. Held to a draw at home by Tottenham 2-2, they otherwise won against Manchester City 2-1, Everton 1-4 and Burnley last weekend 2-1.

Not necessarily expected so much this season, West Ham is currently 18th in the Premier League and is 2 points behind the first non-relegation team. Despite the quality of its squad, the London team will have to work hard to avoid a decline. The recent dynamic still brings hope. Indeed, the Hammers have only lost one of their last 6 championship matches, for 2 wins and 3 draws. After losing to Liverpool 0-2, they held off Manchester United 1-1 and Brighton last weekend 1-1.
Aston Villa worried all their fans at the start of the season but quickly rectified the situation. The Birmingham-based club today occupies 3rd place in the Premier League with 3 units of spending on 1st place. Full of confidence, the Villans have pocketed 9 victories in the last 10 days, for 1 defeat. Beaten at Liverpool at the beginning of November 2-0, they then took over Bournemouth 4-0, Leeds 1-2, Wolverhampton 1-0, Brighton 3-4 and the leader Arsenal last weekend thanks to a goal scored at the very end of the game 2-1.

Auxerre 16th had a double blow last week. By ending a drought of 9 games without a victory, AJA doubled its victim, FC Metz 3-1, and left the bottom of the ranking. It is now 16th and a virtual play-off, with a small point ahead of Messins and above all three lengths behind the first non-relegation club. The Icaunais club held off Lyon 0-0 and Paris FC 1-1 before securing their third victory in the Championship. Opposite, Lille 4th remains successful against Paris FC 4-2, Le Havre 0-1 and Marseille 1-0.
Like this last result against a serious contender for the podium, LOSC has performed well in the race for Europe and sees the podium elude it on goal difference. Bruno Genesio's men have since been looking for a fifth victory in all competitions. They went to the Young Boys pitch in Bern on Thursday, during the Europa League league phase.

Nice
Lens remains the nice surprise of the first part of the season in France. Winner last week in Nantes 1-2 after crushing Monaco 1-4 and then against Strasbourg 1-0 and Angers 1-2, the Artesian club was in control of the Championship before the weekend's matches, with one point ahead of PSG. His performances over the last few weeks have been excellent, as evidenced by his 8 wins in the last 9 matches. Pierre Sage definitely took very little time to adapt to the club for his first season at the helm. His team is seeking a sixth victory in a row this Sunday. OGC Nice's latest results speak for themselves: 7 successive defeats in all competitions, perhaps even an eighth Thursday in the Europa League against Braga.
Since the return from the November break, it has been Marseille 1-5, Lorient 3-1 and most recently Angers 0-1 who have caused the Aiglons to hit rock bottom in the Championship. This deep crisis has serious consequences for the ranking. Le Gym, although claiming a place in the top 4, was relegated to 12th position and now finds itself closer to the first relegation place than places for Europe. With 27 goals conceded in 15 days, Franck Haise's team has the third worst defense in Ligue 1.

Le Havre
Falling last Sunday in Lorient 1-0, a week after having disposed of Nantes 3-0, Olympique Lyonnais remains on alternating current to close the year. His balance sheet over the last 6 days alone illustrates this: 1 victory, 3 draws, 2 defeats. The irregularity of the Rhone club logically took it off the podium and made it 5th in the Championship, 4 points behind the top four. The form shown at the start of the season now seems a distant memory for the Lyonnais who on Thursday aimed to maintain the lead in the Europa League standings against Go Ahead Eagles. Le Havre 15th is in great difficulty as mid-season approaches.
Unable to win any of its last 5 matches, the Norman club, defeated by the big fish that are PSG 3-0 and Lille 0-1, at least broke this series of defeats last weekend, against Paris FC 0-0. A contribution, however, not sufficient to keep it away from the poorly classified. Didier Digard's HAC is the first non-relegation club, with only 3 points ahead of the virtual play-off.

Monaco
Its poor performances over the last two days against Toulouse 2-2, returning to the score in added time, and at Lille, scene of a narrow 1-0 defeat, were fatal for Olympique de Marseille. If he could be satisfied with having retained his place on the last step of the podium, he was now 4 points behind 2nd placed PSG and 5 behind the leader, Lens, after the matches of the 15th day. The expected reaction in the Champions League took place on Tuesday in Belgium. The Phocéens' victory at Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 2-3 brought them closer to qualifying for the play-offs. For its part, Monaco was scuttled last week in Brest 1-0, suffering a fourth defeat on this occasion in the last 6 days.
ASM had just recovered with a surprise victory against PSG 1-0 after having suffered 3 losses in November. She is paying a high price by now being out of the European places, in 7th place with one unit behind the top 5. Also, the gap which keeps her from the podium is significant - 6 points. The Principality club also took advantage of the Champions League of the week, at home against Galatasaray 1-0, to find some color.

Lorient
Strasbourg traveled to Aberdeen on Thursday in the Conference League, in preparation for the 16th chapter of Ligue 1. The Alsatian club is capitalizing on this European campaign to maintain itself successfully, which it is unable to do on the Ligue 1 pitch. Defeated by Lens 1-0 and Brest 1-2 at the end of November, it began December with a third loss in a row, on the pitch of Toulouse 1-0. Liam Rosenior's players fell to eighth position before the weekend's matches, 2 lengths from the top 5. His opponent, FC Lorient, is ending the year with a bang.
Falling from Nice two weeks ago 3-1, the promoted player did it again at home against Lyon 1-0 and aims to go on to a fifth unbeaten match to reassure himself a little more in the standings. After 13th, the Merlus are ahead of the virtual barrage by 5 points but have an unfortunate tendency to concede a lot of goals. They have taken 28 in 15 days, a statistic which makes it the penultimate defense of the Championship.

Bayern Munich

Mainz
Without real competition at its level this season, Bayern Munich maintains an unsustainable pace for all of its opponents. Vincent Kompany's men have indeed taken 37 points out of the 39 put into play this season in the Bundesliga. And since their only draw conceded at Union Berlin 2-2, the Bavarians have resumed their irresistible march forward as if nothing had happened against Freiburg 6-2, Sankt Pauli 3-1 and finally Stuttgart 0-5 last weekend. In the meantime, Harry Kane's partners also validated their ticket for the quarter-finals of the German Cup against Sankt Pauli 3-1 and they will be competing in the Champions League this week. Beaten by Arsenal the previous day 3-1, the Munich team bounced back, not without difficulty, against Sporting this week 3-1. If Bayern Munich crushes all the competition across the Rhine, we are far from being able to say the same about Mainz.
On the contrary, this team is currently experiencing a real crux this season in the Bundesliga where it brings up the rear with a very meager record of 6 points gleaned in 13 days. At the bottom of the hole, FSV has just suffered 3 defeats over the last 4 days played against Frankfurt 1-0, Hoffenheim 1-1, Friborg 4-0 and against Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-1. As a result, he finds himself relegated to 6 points from the first non-relegation place. This week, Mainz players will challenge Lech Poznan in a Conference League match.

Dortmund
This first part of the season is mixed for this Friborg team which is struggling to stand out in this German championship. With only 16 points taken in 13 days, the Black Forest club only occupies 9th place in the ranking, more behind the top 6 qualifying for Europe 6 points than ahead of the first relegation 5 points. Too irregular, the Brazilians from Brigsau won their last 2 matches at home against Sankt Pauli 2-1 and Mainz 4-0 but they were no match away against Bayern 6-2 and Heidenheim 2-1. In the meantime, they were still able to qualify for the quarter-finals of the German Cup at the expense of Darmstadt 2-0. This week, Freiburg hosted Salzburg in a poster for the 6th day of the Europa League league phase.
For its part, Borussia Dortmund was also on deck in the European Cup this week by hosting the Norwegians of Bodo/Glimt with the intention of retaining their place in the top 8 of the Champions League league phase standings. Rather serious so far in the Bundesliga, Niko Kovac's men are undefeated in the league since the Klassiker played at the end of October 2-1. Successively held by Hamburg 1-1 and Stuttgart 3-3, the BVB players were on the other hand able to win against Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 and Hoffenheim 2-0 last weekend.

Stuttgart
11th in the standings with a total of 16 points gleaned during the first 13 days, Werder Bremen is not under the immediate threat of immediate relegation to the 2.Bundesliga. However, the locals will still have to re-mobilize after having achieved only one success over the last 5 days. Winners of Wolfsburg 2-1, Horst Steffen's players were then dominated by Leipzig 2-1 and then held to a draw by Cologne 1-1. Finally, last week, the Werderaner were beaten at the end of the match by Hamburg, thus seeing the first relegation come back to just 5 lengths. On the other side of the halfway line, Stuttgart is in the fight for a place in the top 4 and a place for the next Champions League.
The VfB occupies 6th place in the ranking, only a small point behind the 4th place occupied by Bayer Leverkusen at the start of this 14th day. Unfortunately for them, Sebastian Hoeness' men have not won for 3 days. And after being held to a draw by Dortmund 3-3, they were dominated at the very end of the match by Hamburg 2-1 and more broadly by Bayern Munich last week. In the meantime, the Swabians were able to qualify for the quarter-finals of the German Cup ahead of Bochum 0-2 and they face Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League this week.

Sassuolo
Not at the level during the previous year, AC Milan is once again playing the leading roles under the orders of Massimiliano Allegri this season. However, the championship got off to a bad start for the Lombard team who lost against Cremonese on the first day. The Rossoneri, however, have not tasted defeat since 9 wins and 4 draws. After being held to a draw at Parma 2-2, they in turn won against Inter 0-1, Lazio 1-0 and Torino last Monday despite falling behind by 2 goals 2-3. AC Milan takes the lead in Serie A with the same number of points as Napoli.
Back in the elite this season, Sassuolo has defied all predictions so far. Indeed, the promoted team is currently 8th in Serie A and only concedes 4 units of expenditure on the last European folding seat. With confidence, Fabio Grosso's men have lost only one of their last 4 championship matches, for 2 victories and 1 draw. After losing to Como 2-0, they got things going again by dominating Fiorentina at home last weekend 3-1.

Juventus
Now considered a solid contender for European folding seats, Bologna is currently 5th in Serie A and is 2 points behind 4th place, qualifying for the next Champions League. The Rossoblu recently ended an excellent series of 9 games without defeat, 6 wins and 3 draws, by being surprised at home by Cremonese 1-3. Last weekend, they took a point at Lazio 1-1. Juventus now occupies 7th place in Serie A with 2 units of spending on their opponent of the day. Checkered results precipitated the departure of coach Igor Tudor.
Following this change, the Bianconeri regained color with a sequence of 5 matches without a setback, 3 victories and 2 draws. They ended this positive dynamic by losing on the lawn of Napoli last weekend 2-1. 17th in the Champions League, the Old Lady has just dominated Pafos this week 2-0.

Verona
Expected in the fight for the European folding seats, Fiorentina is having a nightmarish season so far. En effet, la Viola occupe tout simplement le dernier rang de la Serie A et n'a toujours pas empoché la moindre victoire 6 matchs nuls et 8 défaites. The first non-relegation team is already 7 steps ahead. A reaction is eagerly hoped for, otherwise we risk being left behind irremediably. After sharing the points with Genoa 2-2 and Juventus 1-1, Fiorentina lost on the lawns of Fiorentina 2-0 and Sassuolo last weekend 3-1.
19th in Serie A with 3 points ahead of their opponent of the day, Hellas is also struggling this season. The Veronese did not win any of their first 13 league matches, 6 draws and 7 defeats. On the other hand, they finally unlocked their victory counter last weekend. In front of their fans, Hellas created a surprise by taking the lead over Atalanta 3-1.

Inter
Genoa is currently 14th in Serie A and is 4 points ahead of the first relegation team. Authors of a very bad start to the season, Ruslan Malinovsky's teammates have not won any of their last 9 championship matches, 3 draws and 6 defeats. On the other hand, they have shown a much better appearance since the ousting of French coach Patrick Vieira, as evidenced by their current series of 5 matches without a setback, 3 victories and 2 draws. Genoa remains on the successes acquired against Hellas Verona 2-1 and Udinese last Monday 1-2. Logically considered one of the favorites for the Scudetto this season, Inter today occupies 3rd place in Serie A with 1 point behind the leader.
After stringing together three victories in a row, the Nerazzurri suffered a setback by losing, in front of their fans, against AC Milan 0-1. Subsequently, they resumed their march forward with successes against Pisa 0-2 and Como last weekend 4-0. 6th in the Champions League, Inter has just fallen at home to Liverpool this week 0-1.

Napoli
Well wedged in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Udinese today occupies 11th place in Serie A with 6 points behind the last European seat and 8 ahead of the first relegation. Less sovereign for some time, the team based in Friuli has lost 3 of its last 4 championship matches, for 1 victory. Udinese won at low-ranked Parma 0-2 but otherwise fell to Roma 2-0, Bologna 0-3 and Genoa last Monday 1-2. Napoli are still in the fight for the Scudetto this season. The reigning Italian champion is currently 2nd in Serie A and has the same number of points as the leader, AC Milan.
In a good dynamic, Antonio Conte's men have only conceded one setback in the last 7 days, for 5 victories and 1 draw. Beaten in Bologna just before the November international break 2-0, they then showed the muscles to dominate Atalanta 3-1, Roma 0-1 and Juventus last weekend 2-1. Napoli, on the other hand, is less comfortable in the Champions League and has just lost at Benfica this week 2-0.

9:00 pm
Real Madrid
Deportivo Alaves is not to be taken lightly this season. Difficult to negotiate at home, the Basque team has just defeated Real Sociedad in the championship 1-0 for what was a 3rd victory in its last 4 matches at home in La Liga after the successes obtained against Espanyol Barcelona 2-1 and Elche 3-1. Note, however, that this victory against Real Sociedad put an end to a drought of three successive defeats within the elite which occurred against Barcelona 3-1, Celta Vigo 0-1 and Girona 1-0. The boat is pitching in Madrid. With only one victory in the last 5 league games, Real Madrid has just been swept away at home by Celta Vigo 0-2. A defeat with serious consequences since at the start of this day, the White House was 4 lengths behind the leader Barça while it held a 6 lead at the end of October following its success in the Clasico victory 2-1. Furthermore, this debacle against the Galicians marked a point of no return on the lack of intensity on the pitch.
4 days before, the Merengue had offered their best score of the season in all competitions on the pitch of Athletic Bilbao, winning 0-3. This is the problem with this Madrid team, they seem incapable of reproducing good performances. Players probably used too much and borrowed physically to get back on track every three days. This week, again at home, the 15-time winner of the Champions League hosted the English ogre Manchester City, in the UEFA Champions League defeat 1-2. An unusual match marked by several issues: the reaction at home, the future of Xabi Alonso, Mbappé-dependence, a further step towards crisis or conversely a benchmark success? In short, Real Madrid is in turmoil, like last season.

4:15 pm
Ath Bilbao
Traveling to the Bernabéu last weekend to challenge a reinvigorated Real Madrid after their success in Bilbao, Celta Vigo inflicted punishment on the Merengue by winning two goals to nothing. Vigo absolutely did not steal their victory and the two red cards from Carreras and Fran Garcia changed absolutely nothing to the merit of the Celticos, much better on the field than the Madrilenians. A very important success for Celta who had lost 2 of their last 3 previous matches in La Liga against Espanyol Barcelona 0-1 and Barça 2-4. This week, the local players hosted Bologna in the Europa League result to come. A match that was also crucial since the Galician club lost its last European performance against Ludogorets 3-2.
For its part, Athletic Bilbao met Paris SG this week at home, results to come. In order to prepare for this meeting against the reigning European champions, the Lions simply crossed swords with Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid last week. If against Real Madrid the affair did not end well with a 3-0 defeat, the reaction was positive against the Colchoneros 1-0 victory. In La Liga, Ernesto Valverde's men have won 3 of their last 5 matches and they are finding momentum in the fight for the top 6 and European qualification.

Villarreal
In the same basket as Oviedo, Levante is in the tough at the bottom of the table. Almost halfway through the season, the Granotes are last in the elite with 9 points on the clock. It has now been 7 days of the championship since Levante has celebrated a single victory. Last weekend, by losing to Osasuna 2-0, Levante suffered a 5th successive defeat in the league after those experienced against Bilbao 0-2, Valencia 1-0, Atlético Madrid 3-1 and Celta Vigo 1-2. The Yellow Sub Marine advances with confidence on the Levante pitch due to its very good dynamic. 3rd at the start of this day, Villarreal still has a day late to play, and even without the latter, a success at the end of regulation time would allow them to move ahead of Real Madrid in 2nd place. Marcelino's men are aiming for a 7th success in a row in La Liga this afternoon.
Last weekend, they did not give Getafe a 2-0 victory, after their success obtained at the Anoeta Arena of Real Sociedad victory 2-3, at home against Mallorca 2-1, on the turf of Espanyol 0-2, in demonstration for the reception of Rayo Vallecano 4-0 and without conceding a goal in Mestalla against Valencia 0-2. This week, Villarreal was playing for its future in the Champions League against Copenhagen and suffice to say that the carrots are practically cooked with a place in the play-off lost 2-3. Villarreal has always chased the score...

Oviedo
Sevilla FC thought they could achieve the perfect move in Valencia last weekend, but ultimately, following an equalizing goal from Hugo Duro in the money-time, Matias Almeyda's men left with only a small point from Mestalla 1-1. It is nothing other than a third successive match without success in La Liga for the Sevillians who remained on two defeats in a row against Bétis in the Sevillian derby 0-2 and against Espanyol in Llobregat 2-1. In the ranking, the Andalusian team occupied 13th place at the start of this day. How difficult it is to acclimatize to the level of the 1st division when you haven't tasted it for more than 20 years. Real Oviedo are penultimate in the elite but they still have the merit of defending themselves by displaying some nice football. But this is not enough to amass results and it is clear that the truth of both surfaces hurts the promoted.
Last weekend, the Carbayones continued an unsuccessful 8th day of the championship by being held to a draw at home by Mallorca 0-0. Note that Oviedo finished the match 9 against 11. On the road, Oviedo suffered two defeats against Athletic Bilbao 1-0 and Atlético Madrid 2-0. Real Oviedo has only lost one match by a margin of 3 goals or more, it was during J2 at home against Real Madrid 0-3.

Derby
Sheffield Wed are at the bottom of the bucket having -9 points in the standings, logically positioned at the bottom of the standings. Only one victory gleaned in the league, against Portsmouth 0-2. Since this success on September 20, Sheffield has no longer found the recipe for success, thus going 14 games without a victory. Last week, traveling to Watford, the local evening team managed not to lose a fifth successive time in the championship 1-1. His Matchday 19 match at Blackburn never ended 1-0 for Blackburn. Before that, Sheffield Wednesday lost to Preston 2-3, Millwall 1-0, Sheffield United Blades 0-3 and Southampton Saints 3-1.
For their part, Derby have found themselves without a win for three days now, including two defeats in quick succession against Middlesbrough 2-1 and for the reception of Leicester 1-3. Fortunately, the series of defeats did not continue last week for the reception of Millwall 1-1, a lesser evil therefore. More generally, the Rams have lost three of their last five league games. Quite surprising all the same, since before this bad dynamic, the visiting team had stacked up to five victories in a row in the Championship.

A big disappointment from the previous year, Manchester United is in much better shape this season. Indeed, Ruben Amorim's band today occupies 6th place in the Premier League with 1 point behind 4th place, qualifying for the next Champions League. To their advantage these days, the Red Devils have only conceded one setback in the last 9 days, for 5 wins and 3 draws. After being held to a draw at home by West Ham 1-1, they won at bottom side Wolverhampton last Monday 1-4. Eager to take a new step this season, Bournemouth made a very good start to the championship but have seriously fallen into line since then.
The Cherries are currently 13th in the Premier League and are 5 points behind their opponent today. On the tough side, they have not won any of their last 6 championship matches, 2 draws and 4 defeats. Beaten by Sunderland 3-2 and Everton 0-1, Bournemouth showed a reaction last weekend by holding off Chelsea 0-0.

Troyes
Drafted a few days before the start of this Ligue 2 championship last August, this Boulogne team had difficulty starting its season with a lot of defeats from the first days. But now, USBCO has been able to raise its level and accumulate numerous points to appear today outside the red zone, in 14th position in the ranking, with a small lead over the first relegation zone. Undefeated since the end of October, the promoted side had a series of 2 draws against Annecy 1-1 and Dunkirk 1-1 before bringing down Grenoble 3-1. And last week, the Côte d'Opale players achieved a new parity score against Clermont 1-1.
Troyes, for its part, established itself as the strongest team in this first part of the season in Ligue 2. Beaten only twice since the summer restart, Estac has collected 32 points in 16 days which allows it to prance at the top of the standings with 3 lengths ahead of his first pursuer, Saint-Etienne. Beaten by the Greens precisely during the top-of-the-table clash at the start of November 2-3, Stéphane Dumont's men then resumed their march forward against Laval 0-1 before conceding a draw against Rodez 1-1 last weekend.

Hapoel Petah Tikva
Double title holder, Maccabi Tel Aviv presents itself today with a delay of Hapoel Beer Sheva, who, in the event of success over the weekend, could have taken off 8 lengths. Tel Aviv can blame themselves for this, as they simply missed the opportunity to get closer to the lead by losing to Hapoel Be'er Sheva themselves on the previous day 1-0. Worse still, he has only won one of his last four matches in the Israeli elite, making it difficult to keep up with the frantic pace of the competition. Let's note as a bonus the setback against the current runner-up in the elite, Beitar Jerusalem 2-6, two defeats against the highest ranked. Last Thursday, the Israelis traveled to Germany to challenge Stuttgart in the Europa League, results to come.
For their part, Hapoel Petah Tikva is fighting to get back close to the top 6 in order to participate in the final phase of the championship. The task promises to be difficult for the visiting team, especially since they have not raised their arms to the sky to celebrate a success since 09/20. Clearly, by losing on the lawn of Hapoel Tel Aviv during the previous day 4-0, Petah Tikva accumulated a ninth match without a win in the championship 3 defeats, 6 draws.

Como
Under the leadership of Gian Piero Gasperini this season, Roma aims to finish in the Top 4 in order to qualify for the next Champions League. The Louve club currently occupies 4th place in Serie A, 4 points behind the leader and 2 ahead of 5th. The Giallorossi have let precious points slip away recently, as evidenced by the 3 losses suffered in the last 5 days, for 2 victories. They have just lost against Napoli 0-1 and Cagliari last weekend 1-0. Eager to take a new step in their ambitious project, Como is showing great promise this season.
The Lombard team is currently 6th in Serie A and has 3 points less than its opponent of the day. Cesc Fabregas' men marked their territory by going 11 games without defeat in the league, 5 wins and 6 draws. However, they suffered a brutal halt last weekend. Indeed, Como was crushed in the lair of Inter 4-0.

Braga

Santa Clara
Braga needs a string of victories to catch up on the European places. 5th at the start of the day, Braga was 2 lengths behind Gil Vicente and 7 on the last step of the podium, occupied by Benfica. This local team has come a long way, having won its last three matches in the elite against Moreirense 2-1, in Arouca 0-4 and on the Famalicao turf during the previous day 1-2. Thursday, it was a trip to Nice in the Europa League on the program for the Portuguese to come.
Author of a quality season last year which allowed it to play in the Conference League qualifiers this summer, Santa Clara is, for the moment, quite far from its performance of the previous year. 11th in the elite at the start of this day, Santa Clara remained on two defeats in the league against Gil Vicente 1-0 and against Sporting 1-2 but finally managed to react by offering themselves Casa Pia during the previous day 1-0, in the wake of a draw on the pitch of Rio Ave 1-1.

Rangers

Hibernian
4th-placed Rangers have spent their season watching Celtic take the league title for years, and while one might believe that Celtic seem less likely to go for the grail this year, they are not in the running to take over from their rivals. Indeed, at the start of this day, the local team is 9 lengths behind the surprising Hearts leader team. And yet, we are talking about a team undefeated for ten matches in the league, but "only" 6 wins for 4 draws. Recently, Rangers lost against Falkirk 0-0 and at Dundee 2-2. On the other hand, they reacted perfectly by crushing Kilmarnock on the road to a 0-3 victory. Thursday evening, the Scots traveled to Hungary to challenge the excellent Ferencvaros team in the Europa League, result to come.
Hibernian, fifth in the championship at the start of this day, will obviously want to make an excellent move on the road and take fourth place. The objective is high but everything is possible for a team which has gained confidence following its great victory against Falkirk 3-0. A success which avoided a third poor performance after the setbacks suffered against Celtic at home 1-2 and on the Motherwell pitch 2-0. The visiting team has won 50% of its last 10 league matches.

Rayo Vallecano

Betis
12th at the start of this day, Rayo Vallecano has fallen behind in the race for Europe, the fault of a lack of positive results in recent weeks. Indeed, the team located in the Madrid suburbs has not won for five days, even suffering two defeats against Villarreal 4-0 and last weekend on the turf of Espanyol Barcelona 1-0. In the meantime, Vallecano achieved three draws against Valencia at home 1-1, Oviedo 0-0 and Real Madrid at home 0-0. Thursday, the Madrilenians went to Poland to challenge the very good opposition of Jagiellonia as part of the Conference League result to come. Welcoming FC Barcelona last weekend, Bétis took lightning on the scoreboard defeat 3-5 in particular because of a disastrous first half 1-4 at the break.
Manuel Pellegrini's men reacted well in the second half but the damage had already been done. This defeat against the Blaugrana put an end to a nice unbeaten run of 8 matches in all competitions, 6v, 2n. It can be mentioned that the Verdiblancos' last away match in La Liga ended a 7-year drought against Sevilla FC on the road thanks to a nice success without conceding a goal, 0-2 victory. Last Thursday, as part of the Europa League, Bétis traveled to Dinamo Zagreb with the result to come.

Castellon

Mirandes
Sitting nicely in fifth place in the standings at the start of this J18, Castellon has not given up in the title race by winning five of its last six matches in the league. Better yet, the local team located in the Valencian Community will defend this evening its series of four victories in a row, built against Real Sociedad B in a spectacular display 5-4, Andorra 1-3, Las Palmas 1-0 and during the previous day on the turf of a competitor at the top of the table, La Coruna 1-3. It is not the same song at Mirandes who has only won 2 of his last 13 matches in the league for a poor record of 7 defeats. To date, Mirandes brought back the point of the Las Palmas draw 0-0 while she played in numerical superiority throughout the second act.
It's all the more a shame since before this trip to Palmas, the Rojinegros had beaten Real Sociedad B at home 1-0, also finishing 10 against 11. In the standings, Jabatos is frolicking in the red zone.

Konyaspor
The Yellow Canaries of Fenerbahce find themselves chasing Galatasaray again. The fault of two draws to date against Galatasaray in person 1-1 and on the lawn of Basaksehir during the previous day 1-1. The statistic to note is Fener's invincibility in the league: 9 wins, 6 draws, 0 defeats. Last Thursday, the local team traveled to Brann in the Europa League, results to come. Remember that before this game, Fenerbahce had not conceded the slightest defeat since 09/24 and a trip to Dinamo Zagreb 3-1, a series of 13 matches 8v, 5n.
Konyaspor is already well out of the race for Europe and there is no indication that it will be able to fall behind as its results are far from satisfactory. No success in the last five performances in the elite including three defeats against Trabzonspor 3-1, Karagümrük 2-0 and for the reception of Samsunspor 1-3. Last weekend, as part of the previous day, the Anatolian Eagles were embarrassed by Rizespor at home 1-1.
