Vasco have found a bit of form as they bid to pull clear of danger but a trip to Botafogo could be too big of an ask. Fogo have lost just one of their last 10 home games and have won each of the last four Serie A meetings between these two teams.

Bragantino are in the midst of a rough patch but the visit of poor travellers Mirassol provides an opportunity to get back to winning ways. Mirassol have eight defeats in their 13 Serie A trips, while Bragantino have five wins in their last nine at home across all comps.

The goals markets could be the best angle here as two out of form teams meet. Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of Internacional’s last five games and in three of Corinthians’ last five. Both defences look suspect and that could result in a fairly high-scoring game.

This is a huge game in terms of the relegation battle as Gremio sit two points adrift of safety and Remo are six points worse off. Gremio are yet to win away and Remo are on a five-game losing run so picking a winner is a tough ask, but both teams do look capable of scoring. Remo have scored in nine of their last 11 at home and have also conceded in nine of those games, while Gremio have scored 10 goals across their last six games.

Vitoria sit in mid table but their home form has been excellent with 28 points from 14 games. They should be able to make home advantage count against bottom club Chapecoense, who have lost 15 of their 27 games.  Vitoria have conceded in six of their last seven and the visitors are on an seven-game scoring run, so back the hosts to win and concede.

Both teams have scored in 11 consecutive Cruzeiro games and that pattern should continue when they face Sao Paulo, who have conceded in 1o successive away games. The visitors have scored in each of their last three games so should be able to get on the scoresheet, while Cruzeiro are unbeaten in six at home (W4, D2) so both teams look capable of scoring.

Western Conference leaders Vancouver head to Chicago in MLS on Tuesday night and they look well placed to leave with maximum points. The Whitecaps have won their last three road games, scoring eight goals without conceding in the process, while the Fire have just one win in their last eight games and have lost two of their last three.

Monaco have spent the last couple of seasons in the Champions League, losing 5-4 on aggregate to PSG in last season’s knockouts.

They’ve appointed former Flamengo boss Filipe Luiz as their new manager, and the former Chelsea defender has an impressive track record. He led the Brazilian side to their domestic title, and brought continental success in the Copa Libertadores.

Strasbourg reached the last four of the Conference League last term, and this Monaco side are capable of going even further under a highly-rated young manager.

City aren’t quite right yet under Enzo Maresca. They may well come good but Lens away was arguably the worst road trip from Pot 4 while Napoli and Leipzig represent stern tests from Pot 3. And then there’s PSG and Barcelona. Altogether a tough test.

The home game against Bodo/Glimt and trip to Slavia ought to be the bedrock of a campaign in which Dino Toppmoller’s impressive group – who have already beaten PSG in the French Champions Trophy – can emerge successfully.

Barcelona could easily lose in Paris, legitimately drop points at Galatasaray and at home to Man City. One more slip and the top eight could feasibly elude them.

Arsenal were flawless 12 months ago and should have no difficulty getting to the 16 points which are probably required.

BVB came close to the top eight last season and have a great draw this year with Betis, AEK Athens, Sabah and even Inter Milan at home looks winnable.

PSV’s hammerings of Napoli and Liverpool last term were rare highs in an otherwise disappointing campaign. This season’s draw looks far kindlier for Peter Bosz and his Eredivisie big-hitters.

Lamine Yamal has been a sensation so far this season and made it four goals from three games for Spain against the Czech Republic. He has scored in eight of his last nine for club and country, netting 12 times in total in this period, and faces a Croatia side that were demolished by England last time out.

Borussia Dortmund are on a six-game winning streak which has seen them average 2.83 goals per game and they should fill their boots against a Werder Bremen side that were thrashed 4-1 at Freiburg earlier this season.

Lens are favourites for the points on Friday but they sit 15th in the Ligue 1 table with just four points from five games. They have lost three times, including to Lorient in their last home outing, while Lyon are challenging at the top of the table and head to Lens unbeaten in five.

Swansea are top of the Championship standings and look good value for a third successive win against Norwich. The Canaries are on a three-game losing streak and the Swans have won their last three home meetings with them.

Aston Villa may have ended their winless start to the Premier League season, but they have been torrid at times this season and face a Brentford side that took themselves into the top four with a 3-0 battering of Chelsea last time out. Back the Bees to emerge victorious at Villa Park.

Doncaster’s home fans are yet to celebrate a win this season and their first success of the season last time out came against the struggling Peterborough, while Burton have won two of their four league away games.

York City possess League Two’s best home record of the season, scoring 12 goals en route to four wins from four. They should be backed for another win against Northampton, who are 22nd in the standings and have lost three of their four competitive away games.

Monza’s Serie A games this season have averaged four goals per game and another high-scoring affair is expected in Rome, with Lazio having seen at least three goals in two of their last three Serie A fixtures.

Bologna have had a terrible start to the season and find themselves 18th after the opening five games. They are yet to taste victory and hosts Lecce beat Monza 3-2 in their last home fixture, while they are unbeaten in their last three home meetings with I Rossoblu.

Deportivo La Coruna have enjoyed a fantastic return to La Liga and head to San Sebastian having lost just one of their seven games. They have taken five points from three away games and their hosts on Sunday have only won one of their four competitive home fixtures.
