M1 Inter Milan vs Empoli: Inter can go top of Serie A if they win but will have played one match more than AC Milan. Empoli have won once in their last 19 outings.

M2 Gaziantep FK vs Kayserispor: These clubs occupy the two places above the Turkish relegation zone and both need a single point to be sure of safety.

M3 Silkeborg vs Randers: Silkeborg are on a run of five successive wins and up to third in the Danish league. Randers have won their last two games, including 1-0 away at leaders FC Copenhagen.

M4 SuperSport United vs Swallows FC: Swallows’ home loss to AmaZulu on Tuesday saw them drop into the second from bottom spot. SuperSport are on course to keep up their record of never having finished below eighth place since the 1999-2000 season.
