Juventus were on the verge of confirming their qualification to the next round of the Champions League as group winners when they hosted and led Manchester United in their last group game. However, the Red Devils came from behind within the last 10 minutes to win the game 2-1. That defeat means they may even not top this group at the end of the day but a win here would keep them ahead of the Red…

Manchester United’s win over Juventus in their last game has brought them back within not just qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League, but also as group leaders. The Red Devils face a Young Boys side that is winless and have collected just a single point from their group games so far. Jose Mourinho’s men would qualify for the knockout stage if they win this game and Juventus…

These teams are the most likely to qualify from this group as the top two and they would both be looking to get a better head to head ahead of who would potentially top the group. CSKA Moscow are the only threat these teams have at the moment. Should the Russians win their early kickoff against Viktoria Plzen, then it would have to go to the final match day before we can know who goes through,…

The Portland Timbers were founded in 2009 and had to wait until 2013 to make the playoffs for the first time. However, they followed that initial appearance with winning the MLS Cup just two years after. There were understandably raised expectations after that 2015 win and they just couldn’t meet those expectations. This forced Caleb Porter to resign at the end of last season and his replacement…

Atlanta United are looking to get their hands on their first piece of silverware this season, just two years after they became an MLS franchise. They reached the playoffs last season before being beaten by Columbus Crew.

Lazio’s ultimate goal this season is to return to the Champions League group stages. They were one of Italy’s consistent competitors in the Champions League about a century ago, but it has been such a long time that they competed there and they have had to settle for the Europa League again this season. The Aquille are not doing badly in Europe with 3 wins from 4 games, but they would want a top…

These two teams are among the biggest teams in the Ligue 1, while they aren’t necessarily doing poorly, they should be doing better than they are doing at the moment. Lyon finished third in Ligue 1 last season and they are currently 4th on the league table. They have been very devastating at some points this season like when they beat Marseille 4-2, but they seem to be very vulnerable at the…

This has been a hot and cold start to the season for Bayer Leverkusen and they head into this game on the back of a 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig. The international break should have given them time to work on getting back to winning ways as they come into this game on the back of a single win in their last six league games. They have enjoyed some success in the German Cup and the Europa League. They…

West Brom would be looking for a second consecutive win when they visit Portman Road in this game while the home side would be looking to get a first win under Paul Lambert and move closer to avoiding relegation this season. The visitors beat Leeds United before the break and that result has placed them in the 5th position as they bid to bounce straight back into the Premier League. However, they…

These two teams come into this game with the knowledge that a win would get them promoted to the second tier of European international football. Scotland’s win over Albania has made them favourites to win this group as they play Israel in this game, but the British side can’t afford to underrate this Israeli team in this game. The Scots took the lead when both teams met in Israel in the reverse…

Italian football has suffered its biggest setback recently and they continue to rebuild towards a better future with Roberto Mancini at the helm. The Italians are one of the world’s biggest teams and they are expected to partake in every global or continental showpiece, so it was a slap in the face when they couldn’t make it to the last World Cup. That failure cost their then manager his job and…
