Europa League Crvena Zvezda - Celtic

Red Star vs Celtic Prediction: Match Preview and Analysis | UEFA Europa League, Matchday 1

After narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification, Red Star and Celtic meet at the start of the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League, facing each other on Wednesday, September 24, at the Rajko Mitić Stadium in Belgrade, better known by its iconic name Marakana. The Serbian champions were eliminated in the qualifiers by Cypriot side Pafos, with just a one-goal difference enough to end their Champions League dream. Now, for Vladan Milojevic’s side, currently leading the Serbian Super Liga after nine rounds, the Europa League represents a chance for redemption following their last participation in 2022/23, when their journey ended already in the group stage. A similar fate for Celtic, who were knocked out of the Champions League playoffs in dramatic fashion, eliminated on penalties by Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty after two 0-0 draws. Brendan Rodgers’ Hoops, first in the Premiership after five rounds, aim to reverse their negative trend in the Europa League, where they were eliminated twice in a row at the group stage (2020/21 and 2021/22). The new competition format, introduced last year, offers greater opportunities compared to the past: the top 8 in the single league stage go straight to the Round of 16, the teams from 9th to 24th place face playoffs, while those finishing between 25th and 36th are eliminated. For this reason, both Red Star and Celtic will battle to kick off their European campaign on the right foot, seeking three crucial points to make qualification easier and avoid unpleasant surprises.

La Liga Atletico Madrid - Rayo Vallecano

Atletico Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: Match Preview and Analysis | LaLiga, Matchday 6

On Wednesday, September 24, at the Metropolitano Stadium, the Madrid derby between Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano takes place, valid for Matchday 6 of LaLiga 2025/26. A clash that promises to be crucial especially for the Colchoneros, who need to react after a disappointing start to the season. Diego Simeone’s side has collected just 6 points in the first five rounds and currently sits 12th, nine points behind league leaders Real Madrid. A heavy gap that could soon become unbridgeable: next weekend Atletico will face none other than the Blancos in the Madrid derby. A slip-up against Rayo followed by a defeat against Real Madrid could already compromise Atletico’s title hopes by the end of September. Rayo Vallecano, currently 14th, sits just one point behind the Colchoneros and dreams of overtaking them. With a win at the Metropolitano, the Franjirrojos could move close to the European spots, confirming the positive signs from last season’s 8th-place finish. On paper, Atletico remains the favorite thanks to home advantage and a favorable head-to-head record, but Rayo will try everything to overturn the predictions. One thing is certain: the derby is expected to be a battle, as both sides desperately need a win to climb the table and stay in the European race.

La Liga Sevilla - Villarreal

Sevilla vs Villarreal Prediction: Match Preview and Analysis | LaLiga, Matchday 6

At the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, on Tuesday, September 23, the midweek clash of LaLiga 2025/26 Matchday 6 takes place between Sevilla and Villarreal, two teams chasing what would be their second consecutive league victory. After the first five rounds, the home side have collected seven points from two wins, one draw, and two defeats, sitting just below the sixth spot that guarantees qualification to next season’s European competitions. Matias Almeyda’s men arrive with three positive results in a row and will do everything to extend this unbeaten streak in a match that, on paper, is far from impossible. Securing a good result would allow the Andalusians not only to move up in the standings but also to build momentum ahead of their clash with Rayo Vallecano next Sunday. Villarreal have started the season better than their rivals, collecting ten points from three wins, one draw, and a single defeat. The Yellow Submarine are positioned near the top of the table, confirming the good work of last season, which ended with fifth place and qualification to the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League. Marcelino’s men, however, are entering that tricky part of the season where playing every three days between LaLiga and European competition can easily lead to distractions and dropped points. That’s why the clash against Sevilla is a must-win to keep pace with the league leaders: the upcoming schedule is extremely tough, with matches against Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid in LaLiga, and high-profile Champions League fixtures against Juventus and Manchester City.

La Liga Levante - Real Madrid

Levante vs Real Madrid Prediction: Match Preview and Analysis | LaLiga, Matchday 6

On Tuesday, September 23, at the Ciutat de València Stadium, Levante hosts Real Madrid in the 6th round of LaLiga, the first midweek fixture of the 2025/26 Spanish league. After the first five games, the home side sits just above the relegation zone with four points but is boosted by the win in the last match against Girona. A victory here would push the Granotas up to seven points, a significant step forward in the relegation battle. A defeat, however, could drag them back into the danger zone. Real Madrid, on the other hand, have started the season perfectly: full points in LaLiga and a win in their Champions League opener. Xabi Alonso’s team is chasing a seventh consecutive victory across all competitions, aiming both to secure the top spot and to keep Barcelona at bay, and they come in as clear favorites. The former Bayer Leverkusen coach will need to keep the group focused and manage energy levels, given the packed schedule: the derby against Atletico Madrid on Saturday and the European clash with Kairat Almaty on Tuesday, September 30.
