Sunderland - AZ Alkmaar

Two teams promoting productive football. Rennes did not have 3 goals in their games this season, except for their last match against Marseille where the xG was still even higher than 3 when both teams' results were combined. In both friendly matches and league start, Rennes scores and concedes goals, while Sturm's results are not much worse, so it is to be expected that there will be goals in this clash between the two teams.

Celje is not known for good defense, and playing away against Bayer should still present some additional challenges, as there is a clear difference in level. Qualifying for the Europa League is already a significant achievement for Celje, but I do not see realistic chances against Leverkusen. Their away game even in the local league was not successful. Bayer, after losing points in the Bundesliga, should have a double motivation to redeem themselves. I expect them to dominate from the beginning of the match.

Celje is not known for its strong defense, and playing away against Bayer should pose even more problems, as there is a clear level difference. Qualifying for the Europa League is already a great achievement for Celje, but I do not see them having a real chance against Leverkusen. They have also been struggling in their home league. Bayer, after losing points in the Bundesliga, should have the double motivation to recover here. I expect them to dominate from the beginning of the match.

Even though Hapoel's team made it to the EL (Europa League), it doesn't seem like they surprised anyone, they beat Zvezda, who still looks miserable, and got into the playoffs in the second game against Sabah. Zagreb is a solid team, with a lot of experience. They lost to Viking, but the previous matches at home were very strong. After a painful defeat in the Croatian League, Zagreb should be very serious about winning against Peru.

When playing Lyon, today's game should be more open, Anderlecht is definitely not a weak team. Both teams have a solid number of corner kicks, with the Belgians averaging almost 5.9 and the French averaging 7.1. Lyon should definitely attack and have some control in the game, but Anderlecht always appears very strong at home.

The gates are getting darker in the evening, while the imposing and lined movement is becoming noticeable. On average, Bayer has about 7.8 corners per game in the recent matches. The European League is very important, and sometimes the goal ratio is crucial, so it is not logical to stop attacking. Celje's goal here will be to withstand, so we can expect a very low defense and closing up, in which case the corners can be earned at a very fast pace.
