This week’s unmissable European clashes ⭐️ | OneFootball

After more than a month of absence, the Champions League and the Europa League are back for their penultimate regular season matchday. On the agenda, enticing clashes and already decisive matches for some clubs.

The Vélodrome ready to host Liverpool

On Wednesday evening, French football observers will have their eyes on the Stade Vélodrome for an OM - Liverpool match that promises to be exciting.

Facing the Reds, who are not at their best this season despite their ninth place in the Champions League standings, the Marseillais hope to win at home to potentially secure their qualification for the playoffs.

The Olympians can obviously count on a Vélodrome fired up, which has already supported them against Newcastle earlier in the season. On their side, the Reds hope to win to climb back into the Top 8, synonymous with direct qualification for the round of 16.

Monaco faces the Real challenge

The stakes are somewhat the same as Marseille for the Monegasques, except they will have to travel to one of Europe's most impregnable fortresses.

Nevertheless, this match between AS Monaco and Real Madrid is also a duel of struggling teams. The players from the Rock have won only one of their last seven Ligue 1 matches, while Real is still recovering after Xabi Alonso's departure.

This fixture will also be a reunion between Mbappé and Monaco, even though the Frenchman has been playing at a reduced capacity due to knee pain. Is an upset possible for ASM, do you think?

Inter - Arsenal, the clash of defenses

Five goals, that's how many Inter and Arsenal have conceded in six Champions League matches... combined. This season, the Gunners have only had to retrieve the ball from their net once, compared to four times for Inter Milan.

These are simply the two best defenses in the competition as well as the leaders of the Premier League and Serie A who will face off this Tuesday evening.

A clash that already has the makings of a match for home advantage in a potential knockout stage confrontation. So who will win this top-of-the-table duel?

PSG aims to (almost) secure the Top 8

Third in the Champions League, PSG hopes to solidify its place in the Top 8 during its trip to Sporting Portugal.

A match not to be taken lightly for the Parisians, as the Portuguese have notably claimed the scalps of Naples and OM this season.

This match will also be an opportunity for Nuno Mendes to once again play on the pitch of the club where he rose to the highest level.

Barça to dispel doubts

Defeated this weekend in La Liga and far from being dominant in the Champions League, Barça would be wise to take all three points on the pitch of modest Slavia Prague.

15th with 10 points, Barça is not in immediate danger, but a positive result would definitively avoid a last day where doubt could creep in.

For this, Barça might be able to count on a Slavia Prague almost eliminated with two matchdays remaining.

French clubs in the Europa League spotlight

Leader of the Europa League, OL could practically secure its place in the Top 8 with a victory against Young Boys of Bern.

Meanwhile, LOSC is playing with fire and would be well advised to get a result on the pitch of Celta Vigo to secure its place in the Europa League playoffs.

Finally, Nice, which has only suffered defeats this season in the Europa League, will try to earn its first points against Go Ahead Eagles and thus save face after a disastrous campaign.

Young Boys - OL: Thursday, 6:45 PM

Celta Vigo - Lille: Thursday, 9 PM

Nice - Go Ahead Eagles: Thursday, 9 PM
