22nd and first relegation, Blackburn plans to win this game at home to return to the same number of points as West Bromwich Albion. However, it's hard to believe it for Rovers who haven't won a single match for 8 days in the Championship, for a record of 4 defeats and 4 draws. The 4 defeats occurred during the previous 6 days, including 3 in the last 4 matches. Facing Ipswich 3-0, Swansea 3-1 and Hull City last weekend 0-1. For its part, Sheffield Wed should return to League One D3 currently having -7 points and logically good last in the Championship.

Sports sanctions due to poor financial management for the visiting club which must now recover a total of 39 points to return to the level of the first non-relegation: WBA. It seems difficult to believe it for Sheffield Wed, who as a bonus, can no longer win in the league, as evidenced by their series of 6 successive defeats in the current series, against Preston 3-0, Queens Park Rangers 3-0, Portsmouth 0-1, Birmingham 0-2, Bristol City 2-0 and last weekend for the reception of Wrexham 0-1. In conclusion, out of the 6 defeats, no goal scored for the visiting team.

3rd in the early morning, Hull City is 5 points behind Middlesbrough, current runner-up to Coventry in this Championship. The local team, otherwise called the Tigers, is clearly engaged in the race for promotion to the Premier League, the first time in five years that it has played in the 2nd tier of English football. Since its defeat on January 1st against Stoke City at home, Hull City has simply put together 4 great victories in the league against Southampton 1-2, at Preston 0-3, for the reception of Swansea 2-1 and on the turf of poorly ranked Blackburn during the previous day 0-1. Opposite, Watford had started 2026 rather well by easily winning against Birmingham 3-0, then nothing. Nothing for four games, including two home defeats against Millwall 0-2 and last weekend against Swansea 0-2.

There are also two draws against Portsmouth 1-1 and Blackburn on the road 1-1. Also at the start of 2026, the Hornets were slapped in the FA Cup by Bristol City 5-1. In the standings, Watford is 10th with a disbursement of 4 points on the top 6.

Arsenal approach this EFL Cup clash with a sense of unfinished business after their dramatic 3‑2 first‑leg win at Stamford Bridge in mid‑January, a match that showcased both their attacking sharpness and occasional defensive lapses. Ben White, Viktor Gyökeres and Martín Zubimendi were all on target in that encounter, giving Mikel Arteta’s side a narrow advantage heading into the return fixture. Recent news around the club has also centred on transfer speculation, including reports of interest in Julian Álvarez as the January window intensified, adding another layer of intrigue to their preparations. Yahoo Sports+1

Chelsea, meanwhile, enter this match knowing they must overturn a deficit but can take confidence from Alejandro Garnacho’s brace in the first leg, which kept the tie alive despite their early struggles. The Blues have been active in the transfer rumour mill as well, with updates suggesting progress in their pursuit of young defender Jérémy Jacquet while missing out on Douglas Luiz. Their recent form has been mixed, but the resilience shown in the latter stages of the first leg suggests they are far from out of contention. London Evening Standard

Marseille is coming out of a catastrophic week, which began on Wednesday with a heavy defeat in Bruges 3-0, leading to its elimination from the Champions League at the end of the league phase. The Olympians seemed able to make up for it three days later, in the Championship. They led by 2 goals until ten minutes before the final whistle on the Paris FC pitch but conceded the equalizer in added time 2-2. A very bad operation in the race for 2nd place for Roberto De Zerbi and his players, expected at the turning point in the Coupe de France. OM are one of the big favorites for the title after the elimination of PSG.

 Also at a standstill, Stade Rennais has not won since its 16th final of the Coupe de France against Chantilly N2; 1-3, three weeks ago. The Rouge et Noir returned to Ligue 1 with a disappointing draw at home against Le Havre 1-1, were defeated in the Breton derby by Lorient 0-2 and lost heavily on Saturday at Monaco 4-0. The resurgence in training displayed in the fall is definitely no longer relevant for this Rennes team which, however, remains in the midst of qualifying for the European Cup.

For its debut in the Coupe de France, Stade de Reims clearly did not have to work hard to get rid of the modest teams of Torcy 1-5 and Croix Iris 0-4. However, it was more complicated at the beginning of January for Karel Geraerts' men who had to take a penalty shootout to win against Le Puy 0-0, 0-3 TAB and reach the quarter-finals. At the same time, in the championship, the Champenois are in the fight to try to climb back into Ligue 1. 3rd in Ligue 2 before returning to Clermont on Friday evening, the Rémois remained on a victory won during a clash between contenders against AS Saint-Etienne 1-0 after losing in the derby against the Trojan leader 2-1. Opposite, Le Mans did not particularly shine during its run in the Coupe de France so far.

Manhandled by Amicale Villeneuve-Garenne 2-2, 2-4 TAB for their entry into the competition, the visitors then got the better of FC Perigny 1-2 before winning, once again on penalties, against Nancy 0-0, 4-1 TAB in the previous round. In Ligue 2, the Sarthois are also one of the teams capable of joining the fight for promotion. Undefeated since mid-September, Patrick Videira's men shared the points with Rodez 1-1 then dominated Dunkirk 1-0 before traveling to the Trojan leader on Saturday.

Victorious in this German Cup in 2024, Bayer Leverkusen would undoubtedly like to do it again this year. To reach the quarter-finals, this team won without too much trouble against Grossaspach 0-4 and Paderborn 2-4 before bringing down Borussia Dortmund at the start of December 0-1. At the same time, the Usine 11 is in the fight for European places in the championship. 6th after his victory against Werder Bremen 1-0, he will want to make a good move this weekend against Eintracht Frankfurt. Finally, in the Champions League, Bayer Leverkusen ensured their qualification for the play-offs last week by crushing a demobilized Villarreal team 3-0. For their part, Sankt Pauli have never won this German Cup and are not sure that achieving it is really the priority objective of this team this season.

Indeed, the club from the working-class neighborhoods of Hamburg is in difficulty in the championship where it is fighting to maintain itself. Dominated by Wolfsburg 2-1 and Dortmund 3-2, the Pirates of the League were still able to raise their heads by avoiding defeat against Hamburg 0-0 then against Leipzig. They will then challenge Augsburg next weekend to get closer to the first non-relegation spot. In the Cup, Sankt Pauli successively dismissed Norderstedt 0-0, 2-3 TAB, Hoffenheim 2-2, 8-7 TAB and finally Mönchengladbach 1-2 to reach the quarter-finals.

Winner at the bottom, Hellas Verona 2-3, Bologna then lost against Fiorentina 1-2 and Genoa last weekend 3-2. Disappointing in the previous year, AC Milan is once again playing the leading role under the orders of Massimiliano Allegri this season.

The Lombard team has only conceded one setback since the start of the championship. It took place against Cremonese on the first day! The Rossoneri today occupy 2nd place in Serie A with 5 points behind the leader and 5 ahead of 5th place, not qualifying for the next Champions League. After dominating Como 1-3 and Lecce 1-0, they took a point at Roma last weekend 1-1. Deprived of the European Cup and eliminated from the Italian Cup, AC Milan is exclusively focused on Serie A.

Faller of Real Madrid in the 1/8 final, Albacete sees a new juggernaut of Spanish football landed on its lawn, FC Barcelona, ​​title holder of this Copa del Rey and La Liga without forgetting its status as double title holder of the Spanish Super Cup. Since their success against Madrid, the local players have quite simply experienced a second wind in the league by offering themselves three victories in a row against Cadiz 1-0, Valladolid 0-1 and last weekend against Zaragoza 2-0. Important victories which allowed Albacete to climb “only” to 12th place in the ranking.  Title holders of this Copa del Rey, Barcelona are of course aiming for back-to-back like the championship and the Spanish Super Cup. This poster even comes at the right time for the Culers who will want to terrorize the local team in order to demonstrate that only Real Madrid could lose against this opposition.

A good way to remind you who has dominated the country for a year and a half. Last weekend, the Catalans traveled to Elche in La Liga and clearly did the job by winning by 2 goals 1-3. A fourth consecutive victory in all competitions after Copenhagen 4-1 and Slavia Prague 2-4 in the Champions League and Real Oviedo in La Liga 3-0.

Easy winner at Newcastle in the first leg 0-2, Manchester City has already taken a serious option in the League Cup final. In the previous rounds, the Skyblues dominated Huddersfield 0-2, Swansea 1-3 and Brentford 2-0. They are therefore showing good performances in this competition which they have won continuously from 2018 to 2021. 2nd in the Premier League with 6 points behind leader Arsenal, the Citizens have let precious points slip away recently, as evidenced by the only success acquired during the last 6 days. Last weekend, they gave up a 2-goal advantage to Tottenham 2-2. In the Champions League, Manchester City finished in 8th place and thus grabbed the last seat directly qualifying for the round of 16. Title holder in this League Cup, Newcastle should have difficulty reaching the final this time.

Indeed, the Magpies lost the semi-final at home against Manchester City 0-2. In order to reach the last four, they took advantage of the support of their fans to beat Bradford City 4-1, Tottenham 2-0 and Fulham 2-1. Behind on their league table, Eddie Howe's men are only in 10th place in the Premier League with 7 points behind the last European folding seat. After being held to a draw at bottom side Wolverhampton 0-0, they were defeated by Aston Villa 0-2 and Liverpool last weekend 4-1. 12th in the Champions League, Newcastle showed interesting performances but will have to go through the play-offs.

Everything is going well for Olympique Lyonnais who definitively validated their 1st place in the group stage of the Europa League last week by winning over PAOK Salonika 4-2 thanks to their youngsters. At the same time, in the championship, Les Gones are on the verge of the podium before challenging Lille on Sunday afternoon for the 20th day. In full swing, the Rhone residents won their first 3 matches of 2026 ahead of AS Monaco 1-3, Brest 2-1 and FC Metz 2-5.

The Mayennais were then able to defeat Guingamp 0-1 at the end of added time before logically winning on the pitch of Istres 0-2 during the previous round. On the other hand, it is much more difficult for Olivier Frapolli's men in the championship since they are stuck in the red zone, in 17th position in the ranking, before challenging Pau on Friday. Before this poster, the Tango had lost their 4 previous matches against Reims 4-0, Dunkirk 1-2, Clermont 4-1 and Bastia 0-2 before stopping the bleeding in Amiens 0-0.

The season is difficult for this Nice team which is far from its usual standards. Eliminated in the league phase of the Europa League after its last defeat last week at Ludogorets 1-0, the Gym will be able to concentrate on its national deadlines where it is also struggling in Ligue 1. 13th despite its great victory obtained in Nantes 4-1 10 days ago, the Riviera club will try to follow up against Brest on Sunday. In the Coupe de France, the Aiglons had already got the better of Nantes after a penalty shootout at the beginning of January 1-1, 3-5 TAB. Opposite, Montpellier is playing in Ligue 2 this year after hitting rock bottom in the elite last season.

For the moment, La Paillade is not managing to bounce back as well as it hoped and it finds itself in the soft underbelly of its championship, quite a distance from the top 5 qualifying for the play-offs. Beaten by Dunkerquer 1-3 and by Boulogne 1-0, the Héraultais were then able to recover against Bastia 0-2 before challenging Guingamp on Friday evening. In the Cup, Zoumana Camara's men dismissed Montceau 0-2, Canet en Roussillon 0-1 and FC Metz 0-4 in the previous rounds.

Held in check by the relegated Auxerre 0-0 last Sunday, Toulouse experienced a setback in the preparation of its round of 16 of the Coupe de France. A missed opportunity to get closer to European positions. TFC continued with successes against Nice 5-1 and Brest 0-2 in the Championship. As for the Cup, the winner of the 2022-2023 edition entered the running against Lyon-La Duchère N3; 1-2 and snatched their qualification on penalties during the previous round, on the Angers pitch 1-1; 5-6 TAB. Defeated in Annecy 2-0 and Grenoble 2-1, while being contested at home by Laval 1-1, Amiens is in trouble at the start of the season.

The Picardy club is the virtual barrage of Ligue 2 and will have to regain solidity without too much delay to get out of this risky situation and, above all, not to sink a little further. Before this decline, the Amiens eliminated Ligue 1 club Le Havre 0-2 in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. They had the little thumb Montreuil R1; 2-4 in the next round, at the start of the year.

This Troyes team on the Sang et Or side should not be underestimated. L'Estac is indeed well established at the top of the Ligue 2 ranking and has already made a gap on its first pursuers in the race for the climb, with 5 lengths ahead of its runner-up before the reception at Le Mans on Saturday. At the start of 2026, Stéphane Dumont's men started with 2 important successes against Red Star 1-0 and Reims 2-1 before falling to Guingamp 1-0. During the previous rounds, the Aubois took the lead over the UFT 0-2, over Olympique Marcquois 1-3 and over Bastia 0-2 to reach the 1/8th final. For its part, Lens had an excellent performance in the elite.

Racing is in fact still in the race for the title, neck and neck with PSG for 1st place in the ranking.

After a short stint in the Bundesliga last season, Holstein Kiel is back in the 2.Bundesliga this season where it clearly does not have the means to hope to immediately return to the elite. Indeed, this team is in 10th place in this championship, quite far from the podium and even only 4 steps ahead of the red zone. That said, the start of 2026 is quite encouraging for the Storks who have not lost since the end of November before receiving the red lantern, Greuther Fürth, on Saturday. Before that, they were able to win against Paderborn 2-0 and they had won a good draw against Arminia Bielefeld 2-2.

Stuttgart, for its part, does not advance with any status in this German Cup since this team is the defending champion. VfB is also performing very well in the league where it is fully in the running to try to secure a place in the Champions League next season. And after being largely superior to Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-3, they will want to continue on Sunday against Freiburg in order to get closer to the podium. Furthermore, the Swabians are also engaged in C3 where they faced Young Boys last Thursday in order to obtain the best possible draw for the play-offs.

Winner of this Italian Cup in 2022 and 2023, Inter is one of the big favorites to win the title this season. For its entry into the competition, Christian Chivu's gang was able to count on the support of its fans to crush Venezia 5-1. Leaders of Serie A with 8 points ahead of their closest pursuer, the Nerazzurri are in a good position to win the Scudetto. After being held to a draw at home by Napoli 2-2, they in turn won against Lecce 1-0, Udinese 0-1, Pisa 6-2 and Cremonese last weekend 0-2. In the Champions League, Inter had to settle for 10th place and will therefore have to go through the play-offs. For its debut in this Italian Cup, Torino took the upper hand, at home, over Modena 1-0 and Pisa 1-0.

In the previous round, the Piedmontese team created a surprise by winning against Roma 2-3. In the championship, Nikola Vlasic's teammates are well placed in the soft underbelly of the rankings. They currently occupy 13th place in Serie A with 9 points ahead of the relegation zone. After a bad series of 4 defeats Udinese, Atalanta, Rome and Como, Torino reacted with a short success against the poorly ranked Lecce 1-0.

Deportivo Alaves has great confidence in this Copa del Rey since it eliminated two La Liga teams in the previous two rounds. Sevilla in 1/16th 1-0 and Rayo Vallecano in 1/8th final 2-0. Two successes at home and without conceding a goal for the current 10th in La Liga, riding on two victories in the elite, against Bétis at home 2-1 and last weekend on the turf of Espanyol Barcelona 1-2, making them two candidates for Europe. Opposite, Real Sociedad is chasing a first major trophy since the 2019-20 season, with this Copa del Rey in their pocket. The last few weeks have been positive for the Basque team which is still undefeated in 2026 in all competitions and on a series of 8 matches without defeat and a serious record of 5 victories. Last weekend, engaged in the Basque derby at San Mamés against Athletic Bilbao, Real earned the right to return with the point from the 1-1 draw, which allows it to stay in the race for 8th in Europe.

This draw still puts an end to the crazy series of 3 successive victories in La Liga, against Getafe 1-2, FC Barcelona 2-1 and Celta Vigo 3-1. At the heart of this King's Cup, Mr. Oyarzabal's partners took on Osasuna on penalties in the 1/8th final. In the 1/16th final, Sociedad struggled to beat Eldense 1-2.

Valencia is chasing redemption, and this Copa del Rey can be a gateway to the latter. Dumped as often in the 15th championship, the Ché club nevertheless remains reliable in the big posters of the national scene. In the previous round, the Blanquinegros offered Burgos a 0-2 victory, while in the 1/16th final, they had already faced a team from the 2nd division, in this case Sporting Gijon a 0-2 victory. In the league, last weekend, Carlos Corberan's men thought they would achieve a third victory in a row but they ultimately crashed on the Bétis pitch, losing 2-1. As a reminder, at home, the six-time Spanish champion allowed himself to take the 3 points against the Pericos of Espanyol Barcelona victory 3-2 in the wake of an important success at Getafe 0-1. Opposite, we set the table for the 24 times winner of this Copa del Rey, Athletic Bilbao. If the CV is qualitative for a team which has won more trophies than Atlético Madrid in its history, on the pitch, the reality is not as enjoyable.

Indeed, last weekend, hosting Real Sociedad in La Liga, Bilbao was not able to delight its supporters by hanging 1-1. The Lions have not roared for 5 days in the league including 2 successive defeats in Seville 2-1 and on the pitch of Mallorca 3-2. Worse still, the Basques were eliminated from the Champions League in the league phase following their final defeat at home against Sporting in the money-time 2-3. In this cup that he particularly likes, Bilbao was pushed back to its limits in the 1/8th final by Cultural Leonesa 3-4. This was already the case in the 1/16th final on the Ourense meadow, a 0-1 AP victory.

New shock in perspective for Strasbourg, defeated on Sunday by PSG 2-1 in the Championship. Racing therefore experienced a first match without a victory since the arrival of its new coach Gary O'Neil, who remained on 3 victories. For its first meetings in charge, Racing took its nerves out on Avranches N2; 0-6 in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France and gained a little more confidence, in Ligue 1, against Metz 2-1 and Lille 1-4. These results allow Strasbourg to stay in contact with the qualifying places for Europe.

 For its part, Monaco has just returned to victory two months later in Ligue 1, and in what way, against Rennes 4-0. The Monegasques were left behind in the race for Europe after recent weeks of crisis and had not won in all competitions since a result brought back from Orléans N1; 1-3 last month in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. Before recovering against Rennes, ASM neutralized Juventus 0-0 and qualified for the Champions League play-offs.

In its history, Atalanta has only won the Italian Cup once, 1963, but has not come far from a coronation more recently, as evidenced by its lost finals in 2019, 2021 and 2024. La Dea hopes to end its drought this season and did not tremble for its entry into the running against Genoa 4-0. 7th in Serie A with 5 units of expenditure on the last European folding seat, the Bergamasques have found the right fuel since the arrival on the bench of Raffaele Palladino. Confidently, they have not conceded any setbacks in the last six days, 4 wins and 2 draws. After crushing Parma 4-0, Atalanta folded but did not break in Como last weekend 0-0. In the Champions League, Dea finished in 15th place and will therefore have to go through the play-offs.

The most successful team in this Italian Cup, Juventus obtained its last title in 2024 and has legitimate ambitions this season. In the previous round, the Old Lady dominated Udinese 2-0 in front of their fans. Like its opponent of the day, the Piedmontese team has raised its level following a change of coach. The Bianconeri currently occupy 4th place in Serie A, 2 points ahead of 5th place, which does not qualify for the next Champions League. Surprised in Cagliari recently 1-0, they resumed their march forward with successes against Napoli 3-0 and Parma last weekend 1-4.

After needing a few months of running-in in this Ligue 2 following last year's relegation, Stade de Reims is now moving forward at a brisk pace without being at full speed. That said, if we put aside the defeat experienced during the derby against the Trojan leader in mid-January 2-1, Karel Geraerts' players are impeccable in 2026 with successes against Annecy 2-1, Saint-Etienne 0-1 and Clermont 0-1 last weekend. Thanks to this excellent dynamic, the Champenois have moved up to 2nd place in the ranking with only 3 points behind Estac which is leader. This week, the Rémois host Le Mans in the Coupe de France. For its part, Bastia does not have the same hopes of climbing into the elite as its host of the day.

On the contrary, Sporting will seriously have to accelerate or risk being relegated to National 1. This outcome is also the most likely when we look at the accounting situation of the club which brings up the rear in the ranking with 7 units behind the first non-relegation team. Better in recent weeks with successes against Grenoble 1-0 and Laval 0-2, the Corsicans plunged back at home against Montpellier 0-2 before settling for a point against Nancy 0-0 last week.

Much better than in previous years, Union Berlin should be able to navigate out of the dangerous waters of the second half of the table and ensure its maintenance fairly quickly. It must be said that the capital club occupies 9th place in the ranking and that it has a good lead of 6 points over the red zone before the start of this 21st day. That said, the Iron Men have visibly seen their momentum cut by the winter break and they have still not won in 2026. And after having drawn 3 matches against Mainz 2-2, Augsburg 1-1 and Stuttgart 1-1, the Berliners have had to give up their weapons in recent weeks against Borussia Dortmund 0-3 and against Hoffenheim 3-1. Rather interesting in the first part of the season, Eintracht Frankfurt is now going through a big crisis since the winter break.

Much too fragile defensively, this team conceded numerous goals which weighed down the club's balance sheet after the first 20 days. The Capricious Diva has only won once in all competitions since November 22 and she remains on 4 consecutive defeats. In the Champions League against Qarabag 3-2 and Tottenham 0-2 or in the Bundesliga against Hoffenheim 1-3 and Bayer Leverkusen 1-3 last week. In the ranking, the Eagles have therefore fallen to 8th position in the ranking, now 8 points from the top 6.
