Matchday Review - November 4th, 2024
Premier League MW 10
Fulham 2 vs. 1 Brentford
Vitaly Janelt scored in the 24th minute to give Brentford the lead and it looked like that would be enough for three points but Fulham were not done. Harry Wilson equalised in the 92nd minute and went on to score the winner in the 97th minute. Fulham rise up to ninth in the table while Brentford drop down to 12th in the table.
La Liga MW 12
Celta Vigo 1 vs. 0 Getafe
Celta Vigo picked up three points to move up to 10th in the table, Anastasios Douvikas scoring the only goal of the game in the seventh minute.
Serie A MW 11
Parma 0 vs. 1 Genoa
Empoli 1 vs. 0 Como
Lazio 2 vs. 1 Cagliari
Lazio move up to fifth in the table with the win while Como suffer their third straight defeat.
Matchday Preview - November 5th, 2024
Champions League - MW 4
Slovan Bratislava vs. Dinamo Zagreb
Slovan sit rock bottom in 36th without a win while Dinamo sit 22nd in the table. Slovan sit first in the Slovak Super League while Dinamo sit third in the Croatian League. Slovan need to start picking up some points if they want to make the play offs.
PSV Eindhoven vs. Girona
PSV sit 28th in the table while Girona sit 24th, a point separating the two teams. PSV sit first in the Eredivisie while Girona sit 12th in La Liga. A chance for PSV to move into the playoff spots if they beat Girona at home.
Borussia Dortmund vs. SK Sturm Graz
Dortmund sit 11th in the table while SK sit 32nd and have lost all three games so far. Dortmund sit fifth in the Bundesliga and Sturm Graz sit first in the Austrian Bundesliga. I don’t see Dortmund dropping points in this game.
Celtic vs. RB Leipzig
Celtic sit 20th in the table while Leipzig sit 31st and are yet to pick up a point. Celtic sit first in the Scottish Premiership and Leipzig sit second in the Bundesliga. Huge pressure on Leipzig to start winning because another loss or draw would damage their hopes of making the playoffs.
Real Madrid vs. AC Milan
Real Madrid sit 12th in the table and AC Milan sit 25th. Madrid sit second in La Liga while Milan sit seventh in Serie A. Two giants of European football but both teams aren’t in form heading into this game. Real suffered a heavy defeat to Barcelona recently and Milan haven’t been consistent this season. Interesting game for sure.
Lille vs. Juventus
Lille sit 15th while Juventus sit 14th and both teams have won two games so far. Lille sit fourth in Ligue 1 and Juventus sit sixth in Serie A. Two teams in similar form and it should be a close game of football.
Liverpool vs. Bayer Leverkusen
Liverpool sit second in the table and are yet to drop a point while Leverkusen sit sixth and remain unbeaten. Liverpool sit top of the Premier League and Leverkusen sit fourth in the Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso returns to Anfield and it will be a huge game of football. Can Slot maintain Liverpool’s perfect start or will he falter?
Sporting Lisbon vs. Man City
Sporting sit eighth and are unbeaten while City sit third and both teams are level on points with seven each. Sporting sit first in Portugal and City sit second in the Premier League. Ruben Amorim’s final Champions League game as a Sporting manager before he moves to Manchester United and both sets of fans would like a win against City. City aren’t in great form and are struggling at the moment. Another good game to keep an eye on.
Bologna vs. AS Monaco
Bologna sit 29th while Monaco sit fourth. Bologna sit ninth in Serie A and Monaco sit third in Ligue 1. On form this season it should be a win for Monaco even though it will be a tough away trip.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!
