Racing SantanderBarcelona have started the league with five straight wins and 21 goals. Racing have competed well after promotion, but Barcelona's attacking depth and home pressure make a high-scoring home win the strongest shape, with the visitors still capable of nicking…
NK CeljeLeverkusen have scored at least twice in four straight matches, while Celje arrive managerless and in poor form. The visitors still have enough attacking threat to score, but the overall quality gap supports a four-goal home ceiling.
CA OsasunaAtletico have the stronger home profile and responded well after recent setbacks. Osasuna are carrying several attacking and defensive availability concerns, making a controlled Atletico win with a clean sheet attractive.
Jagiellonia BialystokOlympiacos retain a clear home-quality edge, but the recent managerial change makes a clean sheet less secure. Jagiellonia have enough transition threat to score, while the hosts should still create the larger share of chances.
Wolverhampton WanderersEverton enter this tie on a solid unbeaten run and have the stronger top-flight squad. Wolves can still threaten in a cup setting, so a narrow home win with both sides scoring fits the matchup better than a clean sheet.
Athletic BilbaoLevante have been adventurous and continue to create chances at home, but Athletic carry the stronger overall structure and recent head-to-head edge. Levante's attacking profile keeps a home goal live, while Athletic are favoured to edge the game.
FC St. Gallen 1879Lugano's long unbeaten sequence and strong home momentum give them the edge, but St Gallen have historically competed well in this fixture. Both attacks have credible routes to goal, pointing to a narrow home win rather than a clean sheet.
FK Zenit Saint PetersburgBaltika have struggled for goals and wins at home, while Zenit arrive with the stronger away profile. The matchup also points towards a relatively controlled total, making a two-goal away win with a clean sheet a strong fit.
FC Fakel VoronezhSpartak sit fourth after five wins from eight and have just beaten Rostov 3-0. Fakel remain winless in the league and have struggled badly for goals, giving Spartak both the directional and clean-sheet edge.
Panathinaikos AthensPanathinaikos have opened the league with four wins from four and recently beat Kifisia 3-1. Their latest results also show improved defensive control, so even with cup rotation a two-goal away win remains the preferred shape.
Sparta PragueArarat-Armenia are strong at home and have scored in good recent form, so a home goal is credible. Sparta still carry the greater attacking ceiling and have already shown they can score heavily away, making 1-2 the balanced away-win call.
Kuwait SCAl Wahda come in on three straight wins, including consecutive 1-0 victories, while Kuwait SC have also been involved in several low-scoring games. Home advantage and the stronger attacking ceiling make 2-0 the preferred extension.
GNK Dinamo ZagrebHapoel are missing important attacking and midfield options, including Dan Biton and suspended players, while Dinamo still possess the stronger individual quality. Dinamo's own defensive instability keeps a home goal very live.
Stade Rennais FCBoth sides arrive in useful form, but Rennes have the deeper squad and stronger recent attacking run. Sturm are dangerous enough at home to score, while Rennes' greater quality should decide a close European game.
SV Wehen WiesbadenThis is the strongest strict-draw survivor. Fortuna have recently produced both a 0-0 and a 2-2, while struggling Wehen have added incentive to become more compact after a poor start. Both sides have enough scoring route for 1-1.
