Starting with the hosts, last seen marking their return from October's international break with a 2-1 victory against Ligue 1 debutants Paris FC, Lens have enjoyed a sensational start to proceedings. Getting this weekend's fixtures underway sat in the European spots, Pierre Sage's men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Heading into October's fortnight interval with another 2-1 win away at Auxerre, the Yellows have registered 10 points from their previous four top-flight appearances.

After defeating Venezuela in Miami on Friday, Argentina will aim to secure another victory on U.S. soil when they face Puerto Rico in a friendly on Tuesday. The fixture has been postponed by a day from its original date and moved from Chicago's Soldier Field to Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. Puerto Rico have not played since June, when they wrapped up their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-1 win over Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Last seen mounting a stellar comeback on their travels as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at Goias, the Alagoas-based outfit have rightfully received a string of plaudits this year. Despite only just clinging to their Serie B status last season, CRB open Tuesday's showdown knowing that they can move within touching distance of the promotion spots. Getting October underway with a 1-0 win at home against CRB, Barroca's camp have won three of their previous four Serie B appearances

Although Brian Barry-Murphy might have seen his promotion contenders sign off September with a shock 1-0 loss at home against Burton, the Bluebirds came roaring back in a remarkable fashion over the weekend. Eventually clinching a pulsating 4-3 victory against Leyton Orient, the former Rochdale boss has seen his squad win three of their previous four appearances across all competitions.

Crystal Palace will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to 19 games in all competitions when they visit Lublin to take on Dynamo Kyiv. It is Palace's first European game proper after coming through qualifying to reach the league phase of the Conference League. And they arrived in Poland as one of the in-form teams in England after beating defending champions Liverpool on Saturday, courtesy of Eddie Nketiah's last-gasp goal.

Starting with the hosts, extending on their Coppa Italia adventure earlier in the week as they cruised their way to a routine 3-1 victory at home against Empoli, Genoa will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, spending large spells of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Patrick Vieira's men have once again failed to find any kind of fluidity since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Last seen falling to a 2-1 defeat away at Bologna, the former Crystal Palace boss has not seen his squad muster a single win from their first four Serie A appearances (two defeats, two draws).

Starting with the hosts, with many around the Mestalla left disappointed last season as Valencia were forced to settle for another bottom-half finish among Spain's elite, Carlos Corberan's men know the importance of finding some crucial stability this time around. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Espanyol earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in Catalonia, the former West Brom boss has seen his squad win just a pair of their first six La Liga appearances.

"He started the season really well for us but he couldn't make it for [that] one," Skubala said of the 27-year-old Saint Lucia international.

Starting with the hosts, while Real Betis might have suffered major Europa Conference League heartbreak back on May 28th as they fell to a 4-1 drumming against Chelsea over in Poland, Manuel Pellegrini's men haven't shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Last seen over the weekend putting in a thumping performance as they cruised their way to a 3-1 victory at home against Real Sociedad,

Eintracht return to the Champions League for just the second time in their history, their only previous appearance coming in 2022/23, when they reached the last 16 before being knocked out by Napoli. Since then, they have been regulars in continental competition, lifting the Europa League in 2022 and establishing themselves as a consistent Bundesliga force. Last term, the Eagles produced a strong campaign under Dino Toppmoller, finishing third in the German top flight to qualify automatically for the league phase.

Germany will look to bounce back from the humiliation of their World Cup qualifying defeat to Slovakia when they host Northern Ireland. Die Mannschaft made a nightmare start to their campaign to qualify for the 2026 finals, producing an abject display in a 2-0 defeat in Bratislava. It marked the first time Germany have lost an away World Cup qualifier, and they will be expected to respond in style against Michael O'Neill's side. 101GreatGoals has the full team news for the Group A clash.

Starting with the hosts, while Thomas Tuchel might have only officially taken charge earlier in the year, the former Chelsea boss already has some serious pressure on his shoulders. Last seen putting in a nightmare performance at the City Ground as they slumped to a shock 3-1 loss at the hands of Senegal, England are seeking an immediate response when they get their World Cup qualifying campaign underway on Saturday evening.
