Crystal Palace

Newcastle

Our pick2–1

Newcastle head to Selhurst Park just one point and three places ahead of Crystal Palace, with both sides searching for the advantage that has eluded them so far. A tight, open contest looks likely.

Hull City

Brentford

Our pick0–1

Hull City have won none of their last five Premier League games, and a long injury list leaves them short of options as Brentford visit the MKM Stadium on Sunday.

Liverpool

Brighton

Our pick2–1

Brighton travel to Anfield on Sunday hoping to extend a run that has lifted them into the top three, against a Liverpool side still searching for consistency. Both teams are missing several key players.

Manchester United

Bournemouth

Our pick2–1

Manchester United have drawn four of their seven league games this season. Now they face a Bournemouth side just one point behind them, with both teams hunting a decisive edge at Old Trafford.

Sunderland

19:30 Doha time

Leeds

Our pick0–1

Sunderland face a Leeds side they beat only in March, with the hosts searching for a first win of the run. Leeds arrive seventh and in far better shape.

La Liga

Our pick1–0

Getafe's 2-0 win in April is the most recent meeting between these sides, and it still colours this encounter at San Mamés. Both teams sit on nine points, so a single result could open a gap.

Our pick1–0

Real Betis sit fourth in La Liga, Celta Vigo eighth, but the two sides approach this Sunday meeting in very different ways: Betis score freely on the road, while Celta are at their best when keeping the door shut.

Our pick2–1

Real Sociedad have won three of the last five meetings with Levante, most recently 2-0 in April. Sunday's La Liga clash looks set to test whether that advantage still holds.

Our pick2–1

Barcelona have won every league game this season and face a Real Madrid side in form, with the top of La Liga on the line. Injuries on both sides add another layer to a meeting that could define the title race.

Bundesliga

Bundesliga Sun 25 Oct

1899 Hoffenheim

17:30 Doha time

Bayer Leverkusen

Our pick1–2

Bayer Leverkusen, fourth in the Bundesliga, travel to Hoffenheim on Sunday hoping to stretch a run that has lifted them into the top four. Hoffenheim, 13th, need to find the consistency that has eluded them.

Bundesliga Sun 25 Oct

SC Freiburg

19:30 Doha time

Bayern München

Our pick1–2

Two of the Bundesliga's top four meet in Freiburg on Sunday, with first place and a place at the front of the title race on the line. Bayern arrive with the better attack, while Freiburg have built their season around a fortress at the Europa-Park Stadion.

Ligue 1

Our pick1–0

Lille have won three of the last four meetings with Monaco, and the sides meet on Sunday level on 14 points at the Stade Louis II.

Our pick0–1

Angers have struggled at home this season, while Lorient arrive in better shape and higher in the table. Can the hosts turn the form book on its head at the Stade Raymond Kopa?

Our pick2–1

Auxerre and Le Mans are separated by just three points in the lower half of Ligue 1, but Auxerre's long injury list will shape how they approach this Sunday meeting.

Our pick2–1

Le Havre head to the Orange Vélodrome bottom of Ligue 1 and still without a league win this season, with pressure mounting after a run of defeats.

Our pick2–1

Rennes have been hard to beat at Roazhon Park this season, while Strasbourg are searching for a result to ease mounting pressure in Ligue 1.

Our pick2–1

Twelfth-placed Toulouse host a Troyes side that has lost five straight league games and is second from bottom. The home side have never lost to their visitors in their last five meetings.

Our pick2–0

Paris Saint Germain bring four consecutive league wins to the Parc des Princes, and a chance to move clear at the top, when Lyon arrive on Sunday. Lyon have been just as hard to beat this season, so the question is whether the winning run survives a serious test.

CAF Champions League

Simba

16:00 Doha time

15 de Agosto

Our pick3–1

Simba have won three in a row and arrive at Isamuhyo Stadium on Sunday knowing a win sends them into the next round of the CAF Champions League. 15 de Agosto must produce a turnaround to stay alive.

ASEC Mimosas

Maghreb Fès

Our pick1–0

ASEC Mimosas and Maghreb Fès have both collected five points from three games, and only one of them can reach the next round of the CAF Champions League. Abidjan hosts the decisive leg on Sunday.

Club Africain

20:00 Doha time

TP Mazembe

Our pick0–0

Club Africain and TP Mazembe meet on Sunday at Hammadi Agrebi, with a place in the next round at stake. Both sides have been solid in the competition so far, and neither can afford a slip.

Nouadhibou

20:00 Doha time

San-Pédro

Our pick1–0

San-Pédro left with a 2-1 win from their last meeting and a valuable advantage. Nouadhibou must respond at home on Sunday if they want to keep their CAF Champions League run alive.

Botola Pro

Botola Pro Sun 25 Oct

Botola Pro Sun 25 Oct

Kawkab Marrakech

21:00 Doha time

Eredivisie

Fortuna Sittard

14:15 Doha time

Excelsior

Our pick2–1

Fortuna Sittard edged Excelsior 2-1 in February, and the contrast between the two sides is just as stark for this Sunday's rematch. One team scores, the other keeps conceding.

NEC Nijmegen

16:30 Doha time

Groningen

Our pick2–1

Groningen arrive in Nijmegen with the sharper attack and the better record on the road, while NEC are still searching for a home win this season.

PSV Eindhoven

16:30 Doha time

Feyenoord

Our pick2–1

PSV have won three of their last five league games, but Feyenoord arrive on a five-match winning run and top the table. Sunday's clash in Eindhoven could reshape the race at the top of the Eredivisie.

Sparta Rotterdam

18:45 Doha time

Ajax

Our pick1–2

Ajax arrive fourth in the Eredivisie and unbeaten in their last five meetings with Sparta Rotterdam, who sit 13th. Sunday's match at Het Kasteel looks like another test of that hold on the fixture.

AZ Alkmaar

22:00 Doha time

Twente

Our pick2–1

Sunday's clash in Alkmaar could decide which side keeps pace with the Eredivisie's leaders and which slips out of the top-two conversation. Both sides have strong recent form and plenty to play for.

Primeira Liga

Estoril

18:30 Doha time

Moreirense

Our pick1–0

Moreirense arrive in Cascais with a lot less pressure than the hosts, who are searching for a first league win of the season while sitting bottom of the table on Sunday.

Nacional

21:00 Doha time

SC Braga

Our pick0–1

Nacional face SC Braga in Funchal needing points badly, with five straight league defeats and a place in the relegation zone to escape. Braga come in with the stronger record and the recent head-to-head edge.

Rio Ave

21:00 Doha time

Famalicao

Our pick0–1

Seven points apiece and separated by little more than a goal difference, Rio Ave and Famalicao meet on Sunday with a chance to open daylight between themselves and the chasing pack.

Sporting CP

23:30 Doha time

Academico Viseu

Our pick2–0

Academico Viseu arrive in Lisbon on four straight wins, but they face a Sporting side that has not lost a league game this season.

Serie A

Our pick1–0Correct result

Palmeiras have lost only once in their last five league outings and have conceded just one goal in that stretch. They host RB Bragantino at Nubank Parque with a chance to extend a run that has lifted them into second place.

Our pick1–0Correct result

Vasco DA Gama and Corinthians sit side by side in the Serie A table, separated by barely anything. Whoever gets the upper hand at São Januário could open a gap that the other spends weeks chasing.

Our pick0–1Missed

Chapecoense have lost four of their last five league games and sit at the foot of Serie A. Fluminense arrive comfortably placed in the top half, with a squad missing its own key names.

Our pick2–1

Bahia and Santos sit side by side in the Serie A table, separated by four points. Their recent meetings suggest another close, goal-filled contest.

Our pick2–1

Inter top Serie A on 19 points, while Fiorentina have four from seven and sit 18th. Can the visitors make San Siro uncomfortable?

Our pick2–1

Frosinone arrive in Bergamo sitting sixth in Serie A, while Atalanta face them with a long list of absentees. How Gian Piero Gasperini's side cope will decide this Sunday's contest.

Our pick2–1

Venezia sit rock bottom of Serie A and need points quickly to start climbing out of the relegation zone when they travel to Genoa on Sunday. Genoa are only a few places and a handful of points better off, so neither side can afford another slip.

Our pick0–1

Juventus travel to Lecce on Sunday without having lost to the hosts in any of their last five Serie A meetings. Both sides are in the middle of the table, with plenty still to play for.

Our pick0–1

AC Milan arrive in Udine looking to strengthen their hold on a top-four place, while Udinese need to stop a run that has produced no points in five league games. Can the underdogs make the favourites uncomfortable?

Süper Lig

Our pick1–0

Gençlerbirliği have conceded 14 goals in their last five matches, yet the recent history between these two sides suggests Sunday's meeting in Konya will be decided by very little.

Our pick2–1

Göztepe need home points to climb away from the bottom half, while Çorum arrive in strong away form looking to keep their place in the upper table. Their contrasting records make this a fascinating Süper Lig test.

Jupiler Pro League

Genk

15:30 Doha time

Standard Liege

Our pick1–0

Standard Liege head to Genk on Sunday with three straight defeats on their record, while the home side look to turn their strong run at Cegeka Arena into more points.

Club Brugge KV

18:00 Doha time

St. Truiden

Our pick2–1

Gent

20:30 Doha time

Anderlecht

Our pick1–0

Leaders Gent face Anderlecht on Sunday in a match that could shape the early contours of the Jupiler Pro League title and qualification race.

Union St. Gilloise

21:15 Doha time

Cercle Brugge

Our pick2–0

15:00 Doha time

Celtic

Premiership Sun 25 Oct

Motherwell

Heart Of Midlothian

Our pick1–0

Motherwell have lost five league games in a row and sit 10th in the Premiership. A home win against third-placed Heart of Midlothian on Sunday would go a long way towards easing the pressure.

Liga Profesional Argentina Sun 25 Oct

Liga Profesional Argentina

Aldosivi

20:45 Doha time

Belgrano Cordoba

Our pick0–1

Aldosivi have won just two of their 29 league matches this season, and a home date with Belgrano Cordoba offers little respite. Belgrano arrive in Mar del Plata with the better form and the stronger defence.

Liga Profesional Argentina Sun 25 Oct

Independiente

23:00 Doha time

Boca Juniors

Our pick0–1

Boca Juniors and Independiente last met in April, when a 1-1 draw left both sides short of a full return. Their rematch on Sunday carries far more weight as the Clausura race takes shape.

Major League Soccer

New York Red Bulls

2–0 FT

Inter Miami

Our pick1–2Missed

Inter Miami head to Harrison second in the East and in good form, while the Red Bulls look to stop a slide in front of their own supporters.

Atlanta United FC

Chicago Fire

Our pick1–2

DC United

FC Cincinnati

Orlando City SC

New York City FC

Our pick2–1

New York City FC have not lost to Orlando City in their last five Major League Soccer meetings. Now they travel to Florida, sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference, looking to extend that run.

Philadelphia Union

New England Revolution

Our pick2–1

New England Revolution sit third and Philadelphia Union sixth, and a result here would tell us a lot about who can push for the top of the East. Both sides have injury doubts to work through.

FC Dallas

03:30 Doha time

San Jose Earthquakes

Our pick2–1

FC Dallas and the San Jose Earthquakes meet in Frisco with the Western Conference's upper places on the line. Both have been strong on the road and both have a few injury worries.

Houston Dynamo

03:30 Doha time

Minnesota United FC

Our pick2–1

Minnesota United have conceded 35 goals in 15 away matches this season, and that travelling frailty is at the centre of their fight to escape the foot of the Western Conference table. Houston look to hold their place in the top five.

Sporting Kansas City

03:30 Doha time

Austin

Our pick2–1

Austin head to Sporting Kansas City with three straight defeats on their record and their season drifting. Both sides are desperate for a result, and the pressure falls hardest on the visitors.

Colorado Rapids

Vancouver Whitecaps

Our pick1–2

Colorado Rapids have not won in their last five Major League Soccer games, while Vancouver Whitecaps sit top of the Western Conference. Can the home side use their home record to upset the favourites?

Portland Timbers

Charlotte

Our pick2–1

Portland Timbers have conceded nine goals in their last five matches, a weakness that Charlotte's sharper league form could exploit at Providence Park. Both sides have plenty to prove in this Major League Soccer clash.

Real Salt Lake

St. Louis City

Our pick1–2

St. Louis City arrive in Sandy second in the Western Conference, 15 points clear of a Real Salt Lake side that has struggled for consistency. Can the hosts turn a clear underdog role into a result?

San Diego

Seattle Sounders

Our pick2–1

Seattle head south with four key players ruled out and two more doubtful, a problem that could decide how far the Sounders can climb in the Western Conference.

Liga MX

Our pick1–2

Guadalajara Chivas sit second and Monterrey are seventh as the two sides meet in Apertura matchday 14. The result could shape both clubs' hopes of a top-four finish and beyond.
