5️⃣ spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend 🌶 | OneFootball

The five best football fixtures to watch this weekend, featuring the Manchester Derby and the 2025 AFCON final.

Five spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend:

Feyenoord vs Sparta Rotterdam

Rotterdam rivalries resume this weekend when Feyenoord host Sparta Rotterdam at De Kuip. It’s historically been a one-sided rivalry, with Feyenoord losing just one of the last 20 meetings and racking up a 4-0 win in the reverse fixture in August.

Sparta have improved significantly since to sit eighth in the table and will relish the chance to put another nail in their neighbour’s title coffin. Feyenoord trail PSV by 13 points.

Spice Rating: Mild 🌶

Tottenham vs West Ham

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham are two teams who just don’t like each other very much.

The London rivals meet again in the Premier League this weekend, with both in need of a positive result. Spurs have won one of their last six and remain unconvincing under Thomas Frank, while West Ham slipped seven points from safety after a costly defeat to Nottingham Forest last time out.

A loss for either would put their head coach under real pressure.

Spice Rating: Medium 🌶🌶

RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich

Can anyone stop the Bayern Munich juggernaut? It looks unlikely. The German giants have scored 11 goals in two games since returning from their mid-season break and have now pummelled in 66 in just 17 Bundesliga games.

RB Leipzig have scored less than half that number, but sit third in the standings. If anyone is likely to give the league leaders a game, it’s them. That said, the reverse fixture ended 6-0 to the champions on the opening weekend…

Spice Rating: Hot 🌶🌶🌶

Senegal vs Morocco

All eyes will be on the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Sunday night for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final.

Host nation Morocco have made the decider, as The Atlas Lions look to win their first continental title since 1976. A 50-year drought could be ended, but in their way is a Senegal side through to a third final in four attempts.

It’s the top-two ranked teams in a seismic showdown. Who will be crowned Africa’s best?

Spice Rating: Fire 🌶🌶🌶🌶

Manchester United vs Manchester City

Manchester will come to a standstill on Saturday lunchtime, and it won’t just be the Mancunian Way.

United and City go head-to-head on derby day, with the hosts preparing for (another) new era after the sacking of Ruben Amorim last week.

Michael Carrick is in as caretaker, but can he lead the Red Devils to an upset against their title-chasing neighbours?
