Sporting have recovered well from a 3-2 loss away to PSV on Matchday 1 of Europa League Group D and are fancied to gain revenge in Portugal. The Lions rattled off three straight wins in this competition following a change of leadership and have also shown improved form when on domestic duty.
Chelsea’s home clash with Valencia in Champions League Group H was a tight and tense encounter and more of the same is expected at the Mestalla. These teams are locked together on seven points alongside Ajax after four rounds of fixtures and everything is still to play for in this pool.
Ajax have already beaten Lille 3-0 at home in the Champions League this season and the Dutch giants have repeatedly proved they travel well in Europe. Les Dogues have little to play for after picking up just one point from four outings in Group H and just seem a little bit out of their depth at this level.
Juventus are fancied to clinch top spot in Champions League Group D by seeing off main rivals Atletico Madrid at Allianz Stadium. The Bianconeri looked the better team during a 2-2 draw when these sides met in Spain on Matchday 1 and crushed Los Colchoneros 3-0 in Turin last term.
Jose Mourinho is expected to enjoy a successful first home match as Tottenham boss when Olympiacos visit in the Champions League. Spurs look well placed to finish second in Group B behind Bayern Munich after picking up seven points from four games, while the Greek outfit are bottom on one point.
Man City can wrap up top spot in Champions League Group C by seeing off familiar foes Shakhtar, having beaten the same opponents 3-0 in Donetsk on Matchday 1. This is the third straight season these teams have met at this stage, with the Blues claiming four comfortable wins in five previous encounters.
Milwaukee will aim for their sixth successive win when they host the struggling Portland Trail Blazers. The home fans will be expecting to see a dominant Bucks side, who sit in second place in the Eastern Conference ahead of just their fifth match at the Fiserv Forum and have won nine of their last 10 games.
Deontay Wilder’s first clash with Luis Ortiz was a fiery encounter and sparks are again expected to fly during their Las Vegas rematch. Ortiz was put down in the fifth and Wilder was saved by the bell after getting caught in the eighth, before the Bronze Bomber stormed to a 10th-round stoppage.
Wales can secure automatic qualification for Euro 2020 if beating Hungary in Cardiff and are fancied to achieve that feat. The Dragons lost 1-0 to the same opponents in Budapest five months ago, but they have been strong on home turf, while the Magyars do not tend to travel well.
Scotland have a score to settle with Kazakhstan as they look to end their Euro 2020 Group I campaign on a high note at Hampden Park. The Scots started out with a 3-0 loss to the same team back in March, but have since had a change of leadership and look in better shape for the reverse fixture.
Germany have already qualified from Euro 2020 Group C but will still be keen to wrap up top spot when entertaining Northern Ireland in Frankfurt. Die Mannschaft have claimed eight straight wins over the men in green, who are resigned to finishing third in this pool and entering the play-offs.
Netherlands had to survive a scare when visiting Northern Ireland on Saturday but can now celebrate reaching the Euro 2020 finals when entertaining Estonia. Holland will end an eight-year absence from major tournaments after posting five wins from seven Group C games, including a 4-0 September stroll in Estonia.
Denmark only need a draw in Dublin to qualify from Euro 2020 Group D and recent history suggests they can hold the Republic of Ireland. These teams have met five times over the past couple of years and four of those games have ended in stalemate, with the Danes winning the other.
England have qualified from Euro 2020 Group A in impressive fashion, but they were given a scare by Kosovo when these teams met in Southampton. Gareth Southgate’s side ultimately prevailed 5-3, but not before their opponents had created a favourable impression with some enterprising play.
