5️⃣ spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend 🌶 | OneFootball

The five best football fixtures to watch this weekend, including top-of-the-table clashes in Scotland, Italy and England.

Five spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend:

Celtic vs Hearts

Did we all get too carried away about an upset in Scotland’s title race this season? Hearts flew out the traps this season and opened up an eight-point lead after beating Celtic in late October.

That lead has been wiped out in recent weeks, ahead of a rematch with the Scottish champions at Celtic Park this weekend. Hearts lead the title race on goal difference, but have played a game more than the Glasgow giants. Defeat to Celtic this weekend would represent a sizeable swing in title-chasing momentum.

Spice Rating: Mild 🌶

Inter Milan vs Como

Inter Milan host ambitious Como this weekend with both teams placed positively in the Serie A table. The Nerazzurri have underlined their Scudetto credentials with four wins in their last five, with the top four in the division separated by just a single point.

Como are just outside that pack, and a win at the San Siro would take them level on points with Inter. Serie A is shaping up as the most gripping league in Europe this season.

Stuttgart vs Bayern Munich

Can anyone stop the Bayern Munich juggernaut?

The German champions have already amassed an eight-point lead in the title race, winning 11 of their 12 league games in an unbeaten start to their title defence. Up next are Stuttgart, a side some consider one of the best bets to dent Bayern’s bid.

The Champions League-chasing Die Roten have combatted the loss of Nick Woltemade well, with Deniz Undav leading their challenge for the top four.

Spice Rating: Hot 🌶🌶🌶

Napoli vs Juventus

Antonio Conte takes on old employers this weekend when Napoli host Juventus.

The champions secured a huge win last time out after beating title-rivals Roma, ahead of another crunch clash in Naples.

The Diego Armando Maradona Stadium has been a fortress of late, with Napoli unbeaten in 17 home games. Should they avoid defeat against the Old Lady, Napoli will remain unbeaten at home in Serie A for an entire calendar year for the first time in 38 years.

Spice Rating: Fire 🌶🌶🌶🌶

Aston Villa vs Arsenal

All eyes will be on Villa Park on Saturday lunchtime, as leaders Arsenal head to in-form Aston Villa.

The Gunners boast a five-point lead at the top of the table but next face an Aston Villa side who have won eight of their last nine in the Premier League.

A win for the hosts would see them climb within three points of the top, increasing optimism over a surprise title challenge.

For Arsenal, three points on the road would be a serious statement, as the North Londoners look to end their title drought.
