ALL SET FOR A KWAZULU-NATAL DERBY

Betway Premiership: Golden Arrows v Richards Bay

Saturday, 14 December, 15:30 (CAT)

Golden Arrows host Richards Bay in a Kwazulu-Natal derby, marking the fifth league meeting between the two teams since their inaugural clash in the 2022/23 season.

So far, Arrows have claimed three victories to Richards Bay's single win, with no draws in this fixture. With nine goals scored across four matches (an average of 2.25 goals per game), fans can expect an intense and entertaining encounter.

Will Richards Bay level the head-to-head or will Arrows maintain their dominance?

PIRATES AIM FOR GLORY IN ABIDJAN

CAF Champions League: Stade d’Abidjan v Orlando Pirates

Saturday, 14 December, 18:00 (CAT)

Orlando Pirates return to Abidjan’s iconic Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny, nearly 29 years after their historic 1995 CAF Champions League triumph at the same venue.

This Group C encounter marks the first-ever meeting between Pirates and Stade d’Abidjan. While Pirates boast a rich history in African competitions, their record against Ivorian sides remains mixed (W1 D2 L1). Can the Buccaneers recapture their magic in Abidjan and secure a crucial away win?

ALL EYES ON BELLINGHAM

LaLiga: Rayo Vallecano v Real Madrid

Saturday, 14 December, 22:00 (CAT)

Rayo Vallecano will look to build on their recent win over Valencia as they host league leaders Real Madrid.

Despite Madrid’s dominance in this fixture, Vallecano have proven stubborn at home, claiming two wins and a draw in their last four meetings at Vallecas.

Real Madrid’s talisman Jude Bellingham, in scorching form with goals in five consecutive matches, will be key to their chances. Will Madrid maintain their top spot, or can Vallecano deliver another upset?

ALL ROADS LEAD TO MANCHESTER

Premier League: Manchester City v Manchester United

Sunday, 15 December, 18:30 (CAT)

The Manchester Derby takes centre stage this weekend, with City aiming to maintain their dominance over their cross-town rivals. United have struggled at the Etihad, losing their last three away games and conceding 13 goals in the process.

Both teams are battling to recover from inconsistent form, but with title ambitions on the line, expect nothing less than an electrifying contest. Can United defy the odds, or will City reaffirm their supremacy?

ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME

Serie A: Lazio v Inter Milan

Monday, 16 December, 21:45 (CAT)

Reigning champions Inter Milan head to Rome for a crucial showdown against Lazio. With defensive injuries piling up and a tough midweek loss in the Champions League, Simone Inzaghi’s side is under pressure to deliver.

Lazio, in contrast, come into this match brimming with confidence after back-to-back wins over Napoli. With both teams desperate for points to keep pace with Serie A leaders Atalanta, this promises to be a blockbuster clash.
