CHIEFS ALL FIRED UP FOR ANOTHER WIN
Betway Premiership: SuperSport United v Kaizer Chiefs
Saturday 26 October, 17:30 (CAT)
In a rematch of last weekend’s Carling Knockout encounter, Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United lock horns again, this time in the Betway Premiership at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Chiefs hammered SuperSport 4-0 last Saturday night in the Carling Knockout first round in what was a record win for AmaKhosi over Matsatsantsa and now the two sides clash again in the Betway Premiership.
With Chiefs looking to build on their momentum under coach Nasreddine Nabi, and SuperSport seeking to recover under Gavin Hunt, this promises to be an intense battle. Fans can expect another fiery contest as Chiefs aim to assert dominance while SuperSport will look to rewrite last week’s narrative.
ALL EYES ON EL CLASICO
LaLiga: Real Madrid v Barcelona
Saturday 26 October, 21:00 (CAT)
El Clasico is back, and this one promises fireworks. Real Madrid have dominated recent meetings with Barcelona, winning their last four encounters across all competitions. If Los Blancos triumph on Saturday, they will record five consecutive wins over their fiercest rivals for only the second time in 59 years. With Real Madrid eyeing top spot in LaLiga and Barcelona desperate to close the gap, this match could be decisive in the title race.
Barcelona, led by the likes of Robert Lewandowski and young sensation Lamine Yamal, will be looking to turn the tide, but VinÃcius Júnior, with his impressive record against the Blaugrana, will be the man to watch. With both teams in strong form, this showdown is set to be an unforgettable clash.
UNITED GOING ALL OUT TO BUILD A WINNING RUN
Premier League: West Ham v Manchester United
Sunday 27 October, 16:00 (CAT)
Manchester United travel to the London Stadium to face a West Ham side that has found recent success at home against the Red Devils. The Hammers have won their last two Premier League home games against United and will aim to make it three in a row, something they haven’t achieved since the 1970s.
United, on the other hand, have been inconsistent in London, winning just two of their last 17 Premier League matches in the capital. Erik ten Hag's side will look to put their struggles behind them and build on their recent defensive solidity, with three consecutive away clean sheets. With both teams eager to climb the Premier League table, this is sure to be a gripping encounter.
AN ALL-IMPORTANT BATTLE IN THE TITLE RACE
Premier League: Arsenal v Liverpool
Sunday 27 October, 18:30 (CAT)
Arsenal host Liverpool in a Premier League clash that could have huge implications in the title race. The Gunners have been strong at home against the Reds recently, winning their last two encounters at the Emirates. However, Liverpool’s potent attack, spearheaded by Mo Salah, poses a significant threat, with the Reds having scored in each of their last 17 Premier League meetings with Arsenal.
Arsenal, who recently slipped against Bournemouth, will be determined to avoid back-to-back league defeats for the first time in nearly a year. Liverpool, aiming for their best Premier League start since their title-winning campaign in 2019-20, will look to keep their momentum going. Expect a fiercely competitive showdown between two title contenders.
ALL FOCUS ON THE DERBY D’ITALIA
Serie A: Inter Milan v Juventus
Sunday 27 October, 19:00 (CAT)
The Derby d’Italia is always a special occasion, and this year is no exception as Inter Milan and Juventus face off in what is traditionally Serie A’s most heated rivalry. Inter come into the match in fine form, fresh off a hard-fought win in the Champions League, while Juventus are licking their wounds after a disappointing midweek defeat.
With only one point separating them, both teams are desperate to keep pace with leaders Napoli.
Simone Inzaghi’s Inter will be without key players due to injury, but their attacking duo of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram remains in top form. Meanwhile, Juve’s struggles in front of goal, combined with a growing injury list, have put pressure on new coach Thiago Motta. This clash at the San Siro could have major implications for the Scudetto race.
With these high-stakes matchups on the horizon, football fans are in for an exhilarating weekend. Make sure to catch all the action live on SuperSport!
