Football October 14Isco eyes key UCL games as Betis welcomes Porto.Real Betis vs. FC Porto begins at 20:00 [GMT+1] on Wednesday, October 14, at the Estadio de La Cartuja. Manuel Pellegrini’s Betis began their campaign with a 3-2 victory away to LOSC Lille, extending their impressive continental record. The Seville side have now lost only three of their last 13 European matches, recording seven wins and three draws. They have also suffered just one defeat in their last 11 UEFA competition league phase fixtures, winning eight and drawing two. Betis’ attacking performances at home could prove particularly important. They have scored at least twice in each of their last nine home European matches, while only one of their last 48 continental fixtures has ended goalless. However, their most recent home campaign in Europe ended painfully against Portuguese opposition. After finishing fourth in the 2025/26 Europa League league phase with five wins, two draws and one defeat, they eliminated Panathinaikos 4-1 on aggregate before losing 5-3 overall to Braga in the quarter-finals. A 4-2 second-leg defeat in Seville ended their eight-match unbeaten home European run, comprising six victories and two draws. On a broader note, Betis have won three, drawn two, and lost three of their eight matches against Portuguese clubs. "So far, so good. We’ve played one game and won. We have two consecutive home games against Porto and Feyenoord, and I think these two matches will be key to advancing to the next round. The goal, as I said before, is to fight as hard as we can, try to get as far as possible, and compete," Betis midfielder Isco said ahead of the game. Manuel Pellegrini is expected to deploy a 4—2—3—1 formation with Troy Parrott in attack.

Football October 14Bodø/Glimt, Borussia Dortmund clash as UCL returns.Bodø/Glimt vs. Borussia Dortmund begins at 20:00 [GMT+1 on Wednesday, October 14, at the Aspmyra Stadion. This is Bodø/Glimt's fifth Champions League campaign, all since 2021, and their second consecutive appearance in the competition proper. Last season, they reached the round of 16 after eliminating Inter in the knockout phase play-offs, winning both legs, before Sporting CP ended their campaign. Bodø/Glimt's 5-0 defeat away to Bayern München on Matchday 1 extended their winless record against German opponents to four matches, comprising two draws and two defeats. Nevertheless, the result was only their second loss in their last 11 European fixtures, during which they have recorded eight victories and one draw. Kjetil Knutsen's side have demonstrated considerable attacking strength in European competition, scoring at least twice in 11 of their last 13 matches. They overcame Union Saint-Gilloise 6-5 on aggregate in this season's third qualifying round before defeating NEC Nijmegen 6-1 overall in the play-offs. Their home form offers further encouragement, with five consecutive European victories, each featuring three goals scored. Only five of their 116 matches in UEFA competitions have ended goalless, leaving them with plenty of confidence ahead of Wednesday’s clash despite the quality of the opposition. A 4—3—3 formation with Andreas Helmersen, Jens Petter-Hauge, and Ole Didrik Blomberg in attack is expected against Dortmund. Meanwhile, Odin Bjørtuft is suspended for this fixture.

Football October 14“We’re built to play in the Champions League,” Enrique says as PSG visits Man City.Manchester City vs. Paris Saint-Germain kicks off at 20:00 [GMT+1] on Wednesday, October 14, at the Etihad. City’s European consistency remains impressive. This is their 16th consecutive Champions League campaign, and they have reached the knockout stages in each of the last 12 seasons. They finished eighth in last season's league phase with five wins, one draw, and two defeats but were eliminated by Real Madrid in the round of 16 for the third successive season. City opened this UCL campaign with a 2-0 away victory against Porto, Haaland scoring both goals, leaving the Norwegian with 59 goals in 59 Champions League appearances. The Sky Blues are now gearing up for a familiar contest with PSG, whom they have met eight times, with City recording four victories against Paris' two. However, the French side won the most recent encounter, producing a remarkable comeback from two goals down to triumph 4-2 at the Parc des Princes on Matchday 7 last season. Meanwhile, City are unbeaten in four home meetings with Paris, winning three and drawing one, including each of the last three encounters. Their broader record against French opposition stands at five wins, one draw, and two defeats in their last eight matches, although they have won only once in their last four. Their home record remains formidable also, with just one defeat in their last 25 group stage or league phase matches, alongside 21 victories and three draws. Enzo Maresca is expected to leave Erling Haaland at the attacking end of City’s 4—2—3—1 once again. Should the Norwegian be on target, he would exceed Sergio Agüero’s record of Champions League 36 goals.
