Compared with the guests, Slovan Bratislava is not much reliable. In the last five games of the Slovak club had never won. They also are struggling in the domestic competition. While Napoli were toppled from the Champions League still fall in rank 8 Italian league. Armed with a 3-1 victory over Sparta Prague in the first matchday, Rafael Benitez's side are determined to fulfill his ambition to qualify for the next phase.

Barcelona
Out of the squad, new keeper Marc-André ter Stegen, Douglas, Sandro, Pedro, Marc Bartra, Martín Montoya and Gerard Piqué arguably have the most to gain from added minutes. Whether Lucho thinks it is necessary to instill that in his players at this point in the season is up to him. But it’s something that needs to be addressed before injuries start to make Lucho’s choices for him. Piqué’s lack of confidence against Athletic Bilbao was smellier than a rotting gazelle on the Serengeti, and any poacher of a forward worth his mettle will put as much pressure as possible on the out-of-form defender. By the same token, a rusty Adriano and Montoya could prove shaky cover for Jordi Alba at left back once his swashbuckling tendencies inevitably get him a hamstring injury.

And considering manager Giorgos Donis made off with a league and cup double last season, he certainly knows how to get the better of his opponents.Defensive veteran John Arne-Riise is perhaps the most recognizable name in the Cyprus squad, but his fitness will prevent him from taking the field. Greek central defender Anastasios Papazoglou has just returned from injury and will bolster the back line tasked with marking Barcelona’s pesky strikers.

Bayern Munchen
Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich experiment has thus far been largely characterised by a free-flowing, dynamic style that can only be praised. Yet, despite their utter dominance of German domestic football, there can be no mistaking that Champions League glory is the ultimate prize for the Bavarian giants. They seem likely to miss the talismanic figure of Arjen Robben this week due to injury, while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thiago Alcantara are also set to miss the action. Javi Martinez is also unavailable, which will almost certainly necessitate the inclusion of Xabi Alonso in the holding role alongside Lahm.

I’m certain that Pellegrini will opt for one striker up front, considering the talent at Munich’s disposal. Fernandinho and Toure will offer a muscular force in midfield, while Pellegrini would be wise to utilise the electrifying pace of Navas on the counterattacks.

Manchester United vs Everton

Home - Manchester United
Last away matches - L-D-L-D-W-W

Manchester United take on Everton at Old Trafford in English Premier League. This is the 7th round. The hosts had a major problem at the beginning of the season. Otherwise, they have 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with a total goal difference of 11: 9 so far in the new season. Anyway, Manchester United would have been getting ready for another Premier League game and the chance to close in a little more on the top sides. A 2-1 win over West Ham United was a nervous day in the office for Manchester United, especially once Wayne Rooney was sent off, but Louis Van Gaal will now be expecting to back up those three points with another three from this game at Old Trafford. The win over the Hammers last Saturday Manchester United moved up to 7th in the Premier League table, although they remain eight points behind Chelsea at the top of the table. Realistic fans will know a place in the Champions League for next season would constitute a successful season as Manchester United look to improve their 2-0-1 record at Old Trafford where they have scored 7 goals and conceded 3 Manchester United bounced back from their extremely disappointing 5-3 loss at Leicester City by beating West Ham last weekend and that also means they have won two of their last three games, both of those coming at Old Trafford.

On the other hand, guests have fallen in form lately. Anyway, The Europa League can have a real negative impact on the season for teams involved in the competition, especially for those sides that have not been used to playing two games in a week. That could be the case for Everton if their first game after a Europa League was anything to go by as they were beaten 2-3 by Crystal Palace at home and now they have to play this game just a couple of days after a game that was played in Russia. Roberto Martinez received a lot of praise for the way his Everton team performed last season after seemingly taking over a difficult task in following David Moyes.Everton have lost just one of their last six games in all competitions after securing late equalizers in their last couple of games, but Everton have only won one of their last five away games. Kevin Mirallas and Ross Barkley have been ruled out for the trip to Old Trafford, but Seamus Coleman, Sylvain Distin, Steven Pienaar and James McCarthy were not risked on Thursday and could return to the squad.

Last away matches - D-D-D-W-W-W

Tottenham take on Southampton at White Hart Lane in English Premier League. The hosts have 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with a goal difference of 8 7 so far. They have this season is very unpredictable team. Nevertheless, their coach Mauricio Pochettino decided to make ten changes to his side for the Europa League game played on Thursday and Tottenham Hotspur failed to win that game against Besiktas. However, it is clear that Pochettino perhaps had one eye on the first game against his former club having left Southampton in the summer and getting back to winning ways in the Premier League was clearly the number one concern for the manager. A 1-1 draw in the North London derby at the Emirates Stadium was a positive result for Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, but that also dropped them to 8th in the Premier League table with 8 points earned so far. Spurs have not been performing as well as they would have liked at White Hart Lane where they are 1 win, 0 draw, and 2 losses this season, scoring 4 goals and conceding four goals.

Away - Southampton
Last away matches - W-W-W-W-L-W

On the other hand, guests are currently at a high level. Otherwise, their coach Ronald Koeman looked to have been tasked with the difficult job at Southampton when he took over a squad that had been decimated by sale of key players from last season. The Saints made a slightly slow start to the season, but they have bounced back recently with a number of wins put together to push Southampton to some heady heights in the Premier League. At the start of the weekend, Southampton are 2nd in the Premier League with 13 points earned which leaves them just three points behind Chelsea at the top of the pile. The side have a 2 wins, 0 draw and 1 loss record away from St Mary's in the Premier League where they have scored 5 goals and conceded three so far this season. Southampton have won six in a row in all competitions heading into this game which has seen them move into 2nd in the League and also through to the Fourth Round of the Capital One Cup.

Belarus vs Ukraine

Home - Belarus
Last away matches - D-W-D-L-L-L

The odd are against Belarus going into this game, but having managed to draw their first game of the qualifiers they could be going into the game with some confidence. They have managed to beat Ukraine only once in their history and will be eager to change that soon. He got his name on the score sheet last time around and will want to do the same. Dragun is decently cheeky and creative in midfield and can cause the Ukraine defence a headache.

Away - Ukraine
Last away matches - L-W-W-W-W-W

Ukraine will be hoping to change their fortunes after having lost the first qualifier. They have the upper hand against Belarus and will be hoping to continue their form. Captain, Anatoliy Tymoshchuk will be expecting his team show strong resolve and come out on top. Yarmolenko who usually starts upfront for Ukraine has been in good form for his club. He has scored twice in two games in the Europa League and he could be looking to bring that form into this game.

Home - Botafogo RJ
Last away matches - L-D-L-L-W-L

Last week Botafogo’s president Mauricio Assumpcao decided to resign the contracts of four of his players – center back Bolivar, right back Edilson, left back Julio Cesar and striker Emerson –, which made the crisis within the club even bigger. Botafogo have suffered four defeats in September and after two undefeated matches are back on losing paths. They lost to Vitoria and Gremio in the last two rounds. Their four points earned against Goias and Criciuma are the only one in the last eight rounds. Botafogo are currently in the relegation zone with same points as the last placed Coritiba.

Away - Palmeiras
Last away matches - L-L-L-D-L-L

Palmeiras haven’t been living the most calm of their moments either, but at least they have some good news, as the return of defender Nathan and the possibility of counting with their main player Valdivia again. Palmeiras moved up from the relegation zone mostly thanks to good home results. They won the last two home matches, while lost both away. Palmeiras sit on the 15th position, only one point over the relegation zone, so they still need points to reach the safety. They have an awful away record and only two points in the last 10 away matches.

Coritiba’s only absence is center back Welinton, and that way they come to this round with the same team they had available last weekend, which is good news in a league full of injured players. Coritiba and Criciuma are struggling to find a way to move up from the relegation zone. Criciuma have one point more than Coritiba and sit on the 18th position, while Coritiba are at the bottom of the table. Coritiba won over Atletico Paranaense in the last round, but that was not enough for progress from the bottom. They lost the previous three matches and conceded seven goals.

Away - Criciuma
Last away matches - D-L-D-L-L-L

As for Criciuma, their list of injuries got smaller, with center back Ronaldo Alves and midfielder Martinez both returning from the medical department. Also, midfielder Rodrigo Souza and striker Ze Carlos are back from suspension. Criciuma have collected five points in the last four matches. They won over Atletico Mineiro in the last round and shared the points with Chapecoense and Botafogo. Their defeat from Internacional is the only one in the last six rounds.

Sao Paulo have two suspended players for this match – center back Edson Silva and midfielder Reinaldo , but they will have center back Alvaro Pereira, defensive midfielder Denilson and striker Luis Fabiano returning from suspension, as well as center back Antonio Carlos who got fit and is ready to play. The third placed Sao Paulo are not in form in the last period and have achieved only one victory on the last five matches. They suffered three defeats and played a draw with Corinthians. Their third position is result on great results in August and half of September when they were undefeated for eight rounds and won seven from these matches.

Away - Atletico Paranaense
Last away matches - L-L-L-L-L-L

Atletico Paranaense will suffer with suspended players too, as midfielder Deivid got his third yellow card and is out. He’s their only new problem though, so their coach won’t have too much trouble finding a good formation. Atletico Paranaense have suffered three defeats in the last four rounds and currently sit on the 12th position. They have only one scored goal in that period which was enough for a narrow victory over Corinthians. Atletico Paranaense played much better in July, while in the last two months have only two victories.

Lyuboslav Penev’s Bulgaria are in the middle of a barren period for the national team, having only qualified for one major international tournament since the turn of the century. Recent home form has been dicey too, with a 1-1 draw against Canada in May particularly demoralising. Some of best players in current Bulgaria rooster are Georgi Milanov from CSKA Moscow, Ivelin Popov from Kuban, Nikolay Bodurov from Fulham and there are also some interesting players from home Ludogorets that play in Champions League this season like goalkeeper Vladislav Stoyanov or defensive midfielder Svetoslav Dyakov.

Gunnarsson(cardiff city-premier league), Halfredsson(verrona-seria a), Sigurdson(swansea-premier league), Sightosson(ajax-eredivisie), Bjarnason(pescara-serie b) and many other players who play in much better league than Latvia Virsliga (because Latvia's squad is mostly filled by players from there!), so this should be imo easy job for Iceland's motivated side.

Malta vs Norway

Home - Malta
Last away matches - L-L-L-L-L-L

Malta stretched their winless streak to a fourth consecutive match following the 2-0 thrashing they incurred from Croatia at the opening matches of the Euro 2016 qualifications. This has obviously made them one of the least challenging sides of the continental tilt. Their possession is missing in adequate strength while their attack is simply not enough to outclass their opponents’. Defense-wise, however, the team must receive some credits for the relatively good job they delivered in the brawl.

Away - Norway
Last away matches - L-L-D-L-L-L

Norway had a frustrating debut in the Group stage of the Euro 2016 qualifications as they conceded two goals and scored none against Croatia. This counts as their seventh consecutive, non-winning result since their brawl with Moldova in January. The loss, however, was expected and quite tolerable as they faced one of the world’s most dangerous sides in football, Italy.

Barcelona
Out of the squad, new keeper Marc-André ter Stegen, Douglas, Sandro, Pedro, Marc Bartra, Martín Montoya and Gerard Piqué arguably have the most to gain from added minutes. Whether Lucho thinks it is necessary to instill that in his players at this point in the season is up to him. But it’s something that needs to be addressed before injuries start to make Lucho’s choices for him. Piqué’s lack of confidence against Athletic Bilbao was smellier than a rotting gazelle on the Serengeti, and any poacher of a forward worth his mettle will put as much pressure as possible on the out-of-form defender. By the same token, a rusty Adriano and Montoya could prove shaky cover for Jordi Alba at left back once his swashbuckling tendencies inevitably get him a hamstring injury.

APOEL Nicosia
With a Cyprus Supercup and two victories in the first two rounds of the Cypriot Championship in the back pocket, APOEL is off to a usual good start. And considering manager Giorgos Donis made off with a league and cup double last season, he certainly knows how to get the better of his opponents.Defensive veteran John Arne-Riise is perhaps the most recognizable name in the Cyprus squad, but his fitness will prevent him from taking the field. Greek central defender Anastasios Papazoglou has just returned from injury and will bolster the back line tasked with marking Barcelona’s pesky strikers.

Bayern Munchen
Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich experiment has thus far been largely characterised by a free-flowing, dynamic style that can only be praised. Yet, despite their utter dominance of German domestic football, there can be no mistaking that Champions League glory is the ultimate prize for the Bavarian giants. They seem likely to miss the talismanic figure of Arjen Robben this week due to injury, while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thiago Alcantara are also set to miss the action. Javi Martinez is also unavailable, which will almost certainly necessitate the inclusion of Xabi Alonso in the holding role alongside Lahm.

Manchester City
Manuel Pellegrini will be banned from the touchline on Wednesday following comments he made in the wake of their Champions League exit to Barcelona last season. Pablo Zabaleta is also suspended, which will see the vastly experienced figure of Bacary Sagna charged with the unenviable task of marking Franck Ribery. I’m certain that Pellegrini will opt for one striker up front, considering the talent at Munich’s disposal. Fernandinho and Toure will offer a muscular force in midfield, while Pellegrini would be wise to utilise the electrifying pace of Navas on the counterattacks.

Denmark vs Portugal

Home - Denmark
Last away matches - D-D-L-W-W-L

Denmark have an excellent opportunity at home this midweek to stamp their authority on Group I. Portugal pose a difficult task, but the hosts have more than enough quality to put in an upset bid, especially considering they have won their last 3 matches in Copenhagen while going unbeaten in their last 4 in the Danish capital. Furthermore, on home soil overall they’ve lost just once in their last 6 contests, most notably defeating Sweden and holding Italy to a 2:2 draw. The hosts have gotten their European Championship Qualifying off to a nice start as well, claiming 3 points at home against Armenia and then drawing on the road 1:1 with Albania. This start has them sitting in 2nd place of the table, 4 points above the Portuguese (with one extra game played), and oft-controversial striker Nicklas Bendtner has been a big reason for their success, as the imposing lead man now has 2 good assists over their first 2 games. But Christian Erikson is a big part of Denmark’s plans, and while the creative midfielder isn’t in the best of form for his club right now, he will be looked to as the imaginative spark for the hosts at the Parken.

Away - Portugal
Last away matches - L-D-L-W-W

Portugal have followed up their poor World Cup showing over the summer with perhaps even more disappointing displays. In their opening Euro qualifier, they lost at home to Albania 1:0, failing to consistently threaten their opposition in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo. A return to less-intense competition in a friendly match with France on Saturday saw the comeback of CR7 to the line-up, but once again the Portuguese failed to capitalize on their opportunities, and by the time Ricardo Quaresma scored in the 77th minute from the penalty spot, France already held a multiple-goal lead and would hold on in the end for all of the bragging rights. New manager Fernando Santos however will be pleased with his team’s performance, and his competitive debut this Tuesday will be interesting to see how well he utilizes tactics, deploys his troops, and motivates his players. A coach signing typically has a ripple effect of newfound confidence for the team and the desire to play for the new boss, and while the going won’t be easy in the Danish capital, the players and traveling support will be more than up for this match.
