M1 National Bank of Egypt vs Al Ahly: The bankers are on an eight match unbeaten run. Al Ahly are fresh from reaching the final of the African Champs League at the weekend but eight points behind top place in the Egypt league.

M2 Northampton Town vs Mansfield Town: Second leg of the League Two playoff semi-final with Mansfield narrowly winning the first leg 2-1 at home.

M3 Eintracht Frankfurt vs Glasgow Rangers: Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers go head to head at Seville’s Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in the Europa League final looking to become the first winners of the competition from Germany and Scotland respectively.

M4 Atletico Paranaense vs Libertad: Athletico lost 5-0 away in Bolivia in their last Copa Libertadores outing. They are last in the group but only three points behind top of the table Libertad.

M5 Nacional vs Velez Sarsfield: Anything but a result for either side would render them out of the running in the Copa Libertadores. Nacional won 2-1 away at Velez earlier in the group.

M6 Palmeiras vs Emelec: Palmeiras continue in search of a third successive Copa Libertadores title with a 100% record in the group phase with Emelec in second place but seven points behind them.

M7 Colon vs Olimpia: Colon have won only one of their past nine matches. But they are two points ahead of Olimpia in their Copa Libertadores group.

M8 Deportivo Tachira vs Independiente: A home win would put Deportivo Tachira into second place in Copa Libertadores Group A and knock Independiente out of the competition.

M9 Deportes Tolima vs America Mineiro: Tolima are chasing a place in the next stage of the Copa Libertadores but Brazil’s America still looking for a first group victory.

M10 Alianza Lima vs Fortaleza: Alianza have not yet won a game in their Copa Libertadores group while rookies Fortaleza of Brazil are also floundering and face elimination if they lose in Peru.
