With the international break over, it's time to dive back into club football. The weekend from November 22 to 24 features several enticing games, especially on Friday. The Bundesliga and Ligue 1 kick off their matchdays with title-contending teams in action, while La Liga sees a crucial clash in the relegation battle.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich will face Augsburg at the Allianz Arena. Vincent Kompany’s squad is in exceptional form, remaining unbeaten and holding a five-point lead over Leipzig. With an impressive 33 goals in 10 matches, Harry Kane and his teammates will take on Augsburg, a team performing well despite being in the lower half of the table. Augsburg has picked up five points in their last three matches, including a standout 2-1 home victory against Borussia Dortmund.
In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain will host Toulouse. The Parisians are firmly at the top of the table, six points ahead of Monaco, with 29 points from 11 matches. However, defeating Toulouse won’t be easy, as the visitors arrive on the back of three consecutive wins without conceding a goal. Meanwhile, Monaco faces a more challenging fixture against Champions League surprise package Brest. Adi Hutter’s team needs a win to keep their title hopes alive. Brest, however, is struggling in Ligue 1 with two consecutive losses and a low position in the standings.
In La Liga, Getafe and Valladolid will kick off the weekend. This is a pivotal match for both teams, mired in the relegation battle. Getafe has collected just three points from their last five games, with three consecutive draws followed by losses to Celta Vigo and Girona. Valladolid, on the other hand, hasn’t won since October 18, when they secured an away victory against Alaves.
