⚽️ 19:00: “Dynamo” – “Paris NN”, RPL, 8th round
Intrigue: will the guests cope if they have to play without Sergei Yuran?
The first round of the RPL after the international break will open with a match in Moscow. It seems that Marcel Lička has partially found the optimal configuration. At least the latest results are very pleasing to Dynamo fans. In the last eight games played in all the tournaments, the blue and white achieved five victories and only suffered one defeat. Yes, yes, the defeat occurred in the same nightmare match against Spartak (1-4) in the Russian Cup. Paris NN has been alternating between wins and losses lately, and the team’s coach was hospitalized during the break. Sergei Yuran underwent emergency surgery to remove kidney stones. Yuran has already been discharged from hospital, but Pari NN bosses said there was no point in forcing his return.

🏒 19:00 SKA – Dynamo M, KHL championship
Intrigue: will SKA come to life?
SKA started the season in an unattractive manner and the team’s coach Roman Rotenberg attributed this to various circumstances, including travel. But in the first home match the St. Petersburg team lost to Spartak (0:3). Now another Moscow club visits the northern capital, which wonderfully beat the current champion, CSKA.

🏒 19:30: “Sochi” – “Sibir”, KHL championship
Intrigue: Will Michkov score?
Matvey Michkov returned to Sochi and had two assists in the first game, but they still expect a better game from the Philadelphia prospect. The rival seems to allow him to reveal the facets of his talent: Siberia has fever at the beginning of the season and main defender Murphy has been out of the lineup for a long time due to injury.

⚽️ 21:00: Al-Hilal – Riyadh, Pro League, 6th round
Intrigue: How many goals will Al-Hilal’s stellar attack score?
Al-Hilal put on a real show in the last round. Jorge Jesús’s team irremediably “burned” in the match against Al-Ittihad, but achieved an impressive comeback. Al-Hilal went into the break trailing 1:3, but finally achieved victory. And, more importantly, he rose to the top of the table. The team has a match ahead with Riyadh, which is close to the relegation zone. Furthermore, Al-Hilal’s future rival scored only three goals, the second best result in the Saudi league. Everything portends a sure victory for a club with greater status. Or will there still be sensation?

⚽️ 21:30: Bayern – Bayer, Bundesliga, fourth matchday
Intrigue: how will the match between the two best teams in Germany end? Bayer should not be considered an outsider!
The Bundesliga tour will start with a match with a cool poster. At the start of the new season, Bayer is no worse than Bayern. There are the same number of points (nine each), but the Leverkusen club scores even a little more often (11 goals against nine). 3-2, 3-0 and 5-1: what do you think of Bayer’s results at the start of the season with Xabi Alonso? Bayern are not losing points either and Harry Kane has adapted quickly. But the Munich club simply failed in the home Super Cup match against Leipzig (0:3). Now Bayern have the chance to destroy Bayer for the millionth time. Yes, four years ago Bayer did not forgive its rivals in Munich, but that was a long time ago. Will we see something like this?

⚽️ 22:00: PSG – Nice, Ligue 1, 5th matchday
Intrigue: can Nice face Mbappé?
The Parisians had a very difficult start: two draws after two rounds. But later, Luis Enrique’s team “nailed” Lens and Lyon, adding a total of seven goals. Kylian Mbappé has returned to the squad after a very busy preseason and is scoring again. What about “Nice”? By the way, they have never lost (one win, three draws). And each match of this Club during the season is, in the language of the betting houses, base. Nice eliminated both Lyon and Strasbourg, but now the team has a much more difficult task. Can he contain Mbappé?

🏉 22:00: New Zealand – Namibia, KM-2023, group A, 2nd round
Intrigue: can the New Zealanders recover from a weak opponent?
In the opening match of the 2023 World Cup, the unexpected happened: New Zealand lost a group stage match for the first time in history, and the defeat was also the biggest for the islanders. But there is a feeling that this result will only provoke them, and poor Namibia could buckle under the pressure. A match awaits us between teams of different levels and no one doubts the victory of the New Zealanders. The only question is: will poor Africans be torn to pieces or simply beaten?
