RB LEIPZIG vs BAYERN MENICH
The German Bundesliga returns.
The league leaders (Bayern Munich) will re-open the season in Leipzig against 3rd-place RB Leipzig. There is a 6-point gap between the two clubs in the title race. Bayern Munich will look for a win to keep the point gap and guarantee they end the round with (at least) the 4 point lead they have in the title race.
As the team at home, RB Leipzig will obviously have other plans.
Jan 21.
LIVERPOOL vs CHELSEA
Chelsea avoided three league defeats in a row with a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace in the last round, while Liverpool is coming from a 3-0 defeat against Brighton, after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Brentford in the previous league fixture.Should Chelsea successfully win their consecutive fixtures since October 16th 2022, they will also be handing Liverpool a third straight league defeat.
Liverpool has a game in hand and a better goal difference but just like Chelsea, they are performing below their pre-season expectations.
Jan 22.
FEYENOORD vs AJAX
Feyenoord is 4 points clear at the top of the Dutch Eredivisie table after 16 rounds played. Ajax is 5 points from the top of the league table.
It was a 3-2 win for Ajax in their most recent meeting and a 2-0 win for Ajax on their last visit to Feyenoord. These are the results from last season.
MANCHESTER CITY vs WOLVES
To take full advantage of the results from ‘Arsenal vs Manchester United’ fixture, Manchester City must pick up a win against Wolves earlier in the day. Like every team in the league with title ambitions, an Arsenal defeat is what they hope for.
ARSENAL vs MANCHESTER UNITED
Had it not been for Manchester United, Arsenal would be unbeaten at the top of the league table. A 3-1 win for Manchester United in the reverse fixture remains Arsenal’s only league defeat. There is an 8-point gap between the two, with Arsenal having a game in hand.
JUVENTUS vs ATALANTA
Juventus is coming from a heavy defeat (5-1 against Napoli).
Atalanta is coming from a massive win (8-2 against Salernitana).
Juventus has recovery to do when they face an inspired Atalanta side coming from a big win. Atalanta with a win in Turin will equal Juventus in points and also leap above them in the league standings.
BARCELONA vs GETAFE
ATHLETIC CLUB vs REAL MADRID
Barcelona’s three-point lead will be maintained with a win.
A win for Barcelona will put pressure on Real Madrid to also grab a win in Bilbao to maintain the gap in the title race.
