The weekend of December 13-15 promises thrilling action across Europe’s top football leagues. All eyes will be on the Manchester Derby on Sunday, December 15, in the Premier League, with City hosting United. Pep Guardiola’s men seemed to have left their dark spell behind, but a tough Champions League loss to Juventus reignited concerns. Meanwhile, Rashford and his teammates secured a Europa League win but suffered two consecutive league defeats. Chelsea, in excellent form, will face Brentford at Stamford Bridge to solidify second place. Tottenham meets Southampton looking to climb the standings, while West Ham faces surprise package Bournemouth.
The standout fixture in Ligue 1 is undoubtedly PSG vs. Lyon. The Parisians aim to maintain their lead at the top, while Lyon seeks to extend its positive run despite off-field troubles. Nice has a golden opportunity against bottom-placed Montpellier. Meanwhile, Brest and Nantes, both struggling, face a crucial showdown. Le Havre meets Strasbourg, and Rennes hosts Angers in pivotal games that could reshape their seasons.
Three Bundesliga games are scheduled for Sunday, December 15. The highlight is the intriguing clash between RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt. A win could push Frankfurt close to second place, while Leipzig aims to close the gap on league leaders Bayern Munich. Borussia Dortmund has a chance to climb the table against Hoffenheim, while crisis-hit Heidenheim faces Stuttgart after eight defeats in their last nine matches. The team, last season’s surprise qualifier for the Conference League, is desperate to turn its fortunes around.
