Tuesday 25 October

S10 V3

Mamelodi Sundowns must recover from the double hit of the weekend cup exit and Monday’s managerial shake up as they go away to Maritzburg United on Tuesday. More details at www.soccer6.co.za.

M1 Royal AM vs Lamontville Golden Arrows: Royal AM have lost their last three league matches. Arrows have won one of their past five matches.

M2 FC Salzburg vs Chelsea: Having taken over at the top of Group E thanks to back-to-back victories, Chelsea will be keen to consolidate as they visit second-placed Salzburg, who are still unbeaten in the 2022/23 Champions League. A victory for the London club will secure their place in the round of 16.

M3 Sevilla vs FC Copenhagen: Both teams each have two points in Group G, five behind second-placed Borussia Dortmund, and must therefore win their two remaining fixtures to have any hope of overhauling the German club and reaching the round of 16.

M4 Cape Town City vs Chippa United: City are looking to end a run of five matches without success while Chippa come into the game on the back of an unlikely four successive victories.

M5 Maritzburg United vs Mamelodi Sundowns: Maritzburg have won only twice in 11 games this season. Maritzburg won at home to Sundowns last season – one of only three defeats as the Brazilians easily won the league title.

M6 Benfica vs Juventus: A win for Benfica will guarantee a top-two finish in Group H and a place in the Champions League knockout stages at their visitors’ expense. The Portuguese side are level with Paris Saint-Germain on eight points at the top of the section, five ahead of both Juve and Maccabi Haifa.

M7 Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City: Having sealed progress to the Champions League knockout phase again with two games to spare, Manchester City will aim to wrap up first place in Group G at Dortmund, who are looking to join their visitors in the round of 16.

M8 Glasgow Celtic vs Shakhtar Donetsk: Celtic have taken only one point from their first four group matches and can no longer finish in the top two in the Champions League Group F. Their Ukrainian opponents are third on five points, one behind Leipzig, and will secure at least a Europa League spot if they avoid defeat in Glasgow.

M9 Dinamo Zagreb vs AC Milan: The teams are level on four points in Champions League group E, two behind second-placed Salzburg with Chelsea a further point better off.

M10 RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid: Real have already secured progress to the Champions League knockout rounds for a record-extending 27th time, and will aim to make sure of first place in Group F away to a Leipzig side who have a chance to finish second in the group.
