⚽️ 15:00: “Ural” – “Lokomotiv”, Russian Cup, Group B
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will Ural be able to break the losing streak in the matches against Lokomotiv?
Lokomotiv loves to travel to Yekaterinburg: Ural has not beaten an opponent on their field since 2015. Then the locals defeated the red-greens (2-0) and Fedor Smolov scored the second goal against the team from the capital. After that, the rivals played nine times in Yekaterinburg (five wins for Loko, four draws). The big question is: will we see goals? Last weekend, Loko lost to Orenburg (0-2) and Ural – to Fakel. As you will understand, both had problems with the attack.

⚽️ 15:00: CSKA – Sochi, Russian Cup, Group A
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: how will the guests play the first game after the change of coach?
Sochi will play the first match after the dismissal of Dmitry Khokhlov as coach. Alexander Tochilin prepares the team for the away game against CSKA. The army team is not doing everything now. In the last seven matches of all tournaments, CSKA has only won two victories. It is curious that the military team has beaten Sochi twice and did so once in the penalty shootout. The Black Sea Club, in turn, comes into the match against CSKA with a four-match losing streak.

🏒 17:00: “Metallurg” – “Avtomobilist”, KHL championship
Intrigue: will the motoring leaders wake up?
Before the season, the Yekaterinburg club’s attack was considered one of the most fluid and deep in the East, but now many of its leaders are having problems. Sergei Shirokov seemed to have declined drastically over the summer and lost playing time, Brooks Macek lost the majority goal after a 36-goal season so far and newcomer Alexei Byvaltsev has long been looking for suitable partners. The “Auto” at the beginning of the season looks quite gloomy, and the 6-1 in Novosibirsk so far looks like only one problem. Can Nikolai Zavarukhin’s team wake up in the second match in Magnitogorsk?

⚽️ 17:15: Akhmat – Zenit, Russian Cup, Group C
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: will Zenit have problems again in Grozny?
It has already been said more than once how difficult the trip to Grozny is for Zenit. But Akhmat is even worse: the team has not beaten the blue and white at home since 2016. After that, the rivals tied five times and Zenit won twice. The meeting is expected to be very intriguing. Zenit gained momentum after a slow start and Akhmat improved greatly with the arrival of Miroslav Romashchenko. If the champion wins in Grozny, he will practically solve the question of reaching the upper bracket of the Cup playoffs.

⚽️ 17:15: Rubin – Rostov, Russian Cup, Group B
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will Rostov beat its rival for the third time this season?
The teams will play for the third time this season. Before that, they met twice in Rostov-on-Don, two victories for the locals. Also, in these matches the Kazan club did not score a goal (0:1, 0:3). Will it work this time? Rubin did a good job on the last day of the transfer market. At least in terms of the number of transitions (there were six). Both teams do not approach the game in the best mood. Rubin lost two matches in a row and Rostov won only once in the last five matches.

🏉 18:45: Italy – Uruguay, Rugby World Cup, 3rd round
Intrigue: Will Uruguay get its first points in the World Cup?
The third week of the World Cup is already underway and the fairly strong Uruguayan team has not yet gained a single point in the standings. A surprising fact? No, it was more of a coincidence. The South Americans missed the first week and the second week they could not face the powerful French. But now the rival will be a little easier. Italy is no sugar either, of course, and Namibia felt it firsthand, but if Uruguay wants to make the playoffs, then they simply must win this match.

🏒 19:30: SKA – Severstal, KHL championship
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will SKA’s series of defeats be interrupted?
Roman Rotenberg finds every excuse in the world, but his team plays frankly lackluster. Even the statistical advantage in the match against Siberia is a bit misleading: most of SKA’s shots carried little danger. Until now there is a feeling that the semi-new composition of the St. Petersburg team simply cannot get used to the new style. Now SKA will be put to the test by the Cherepovets team, which, under the command of Andrei Kozyrev, is ready to dictate its game to any rival. Rotenberg more than once spoke with respect about the former SKA-Neva coach, he called Kozyrev one of the co-authors of that same SKA “system”, but tomorrow there will be no reverence on the ice.

⚽️ 19:45: Real Madrid – Unión, Champions League, 1st matchday, Group C
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: what will the German club’s debut in the Champions League be like?
Unión will play in the Champions League for the first time in history. It is true that the debut rival could not be worse (well, that is not entirely true). The German club’s players will remember the match for the rest of their lives, no matter how it ends. Union started with three wins (including the German Cup) and then suffered two defeats. Will there be a third? Real Madrid this season has perfect statistics: five wins in five games (three of them with a minimum score). On paper, everything is in favor of the favorite. But maybe the first round will give us a sensation?

⚽️ 22:00: Bayern – Manchester United, Champions League, 1st round, Group A
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: will Manchester United achieve their first victory in Munich?
The matches between Bayern Munich and Manchester United are usually memorable. Here you have the famous 1999 final, when the English club surprised the rival with goals in added time. And how hot the quarterfinals were in 2010! Eight goals in two games (two of them from Ivica Olic), a resounding victory for Bayern in Munich, a masterpiece goal from Arjen Robben at Old Trafford. And the comeback of the German club in Manchester turned the 0-3 into a 2-3, which was enough for the final victory. Manchester United players should not study the statistics before the match: their team has never beaten an opponent in Munich. But now Bayern doesn’t seem as powerful as before. It is true that Manchester United also has many problems.

⚽️ 22:00: Real Sociedad – Inter, Champions League, 1st matchday, Group D
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: how many minutes will Zakharyan get in his debut match in the Champions League?
Arsen Zakharyan against Henrikh Mkhitaryan: what do you think of this poster? The Russian has the opportunity to make his debut in the Champions League, and even in a match with the finalist of the previous edition. Arsene usually starts Real Sociedad matches on the bench, but the coach leaves him free for about 10-15 minutes. Inter are looking very impressive at the start of the new season: four wins in four Serie A games, a spectacular goal difference (13:1). Perhaps it is Zakharyan’s Royal Society that stops him?

⚽️ 22:00: Arsenal – PSV Eindhoven, Champions League, 1st round, Group B
Intrigue: Will Arsenal win their first Champions League game in seven years?
Arsenal returns to the Champions League. By the way, he didn’t play there for seven years. And then we were so lucky with the draw that the bookmakers put the London club as the favorite of the quartet. But PSV should never be underestimated. This season the team did not suffer a single defeat (eight wins, one draw). It is true that the Dutch club has never beaten Arsenal in London: two draws, two defeats. It is curious that all four matches were “low”: 0:0, 1:0, 1:1, 1:0. Arsenal have claimed four wins in five Premier League games this season and defeated Man City in the FA Super Cup.
