The club season continues and this weekend will see some intriguing matches in various top European championships.

In one of the matches, Milan will host Lazio at the San Siro in Serie A, while two German Champions League participants, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia D, will clash in the Bundesliga.

There will be two more big matches on Sunday, one of which will be the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal, and in Italy Roma will host Napoli with Artem Dovbyk in Rome.

MILAN — LAZIO
Saturday, November 29, 9:45 p.m. San Siro, Milan. The main referee is Giuseppe Collu. Live broadcast on MEGOGO

Relying on an inspired goalkeeper and often relying on success, Milan emerged victorious in the first “Derby della Madonnina” of the season, beating Inter (1-0). Captain Mike Menghan proved himself to be a true hero, making several stunning saves, including one from the penalty spot from ex-Rossoneri player Hakan Calhanoglu.

This victory allowed Massimiliano Allegri’s men to move ahead of their neighbors in Serie A — just two points behind Roma. Extending their unbeaten run to 12 matches, this result certainly bolstered their Scudetto chances, with most of Italy’s wins based on solid defence. Allegri’s side have kept clean sheets in half of their opening dozen league games, with a record of one defeat so far matched only by the sensational Como.

Lazio’s recent loss to Inter at the same San Siro remains their only loss since another derby defeat at the end of September. Last week, the Biancocelesti recovered by winning against Lecce (2:0). As a result, Lazio rose to eighth place, staying close to the Eurocup zone, with their fifth clean sheet in six matches.

However, before heading north to Italy’s second-largest city, the capital club had gone almost 300 minutes without scoring on the road, with captain Mattia Zaccagni scoring against Genoa two months ago.

Experienced coach Maurizio Sarri, whose hands are tied by a transfer ban and a long list of injured players, is trying to make the most of a difficult situation.

Sarri and Allegri first met some 22 years ago when they were both coaching in Serie C: in the 19 meetings that have taken place since then, the current Milan coach leads with a margin of 11 wins to four.

betking offers the following odds: Milan win – 1.60, draw – 4.00, and Lazio win – 5.66.

BAYER — BORUSSIA D
Saturday, November 29, 7:30 p.m. BayArena, Leverkusen. The main referee is Tobias Welz. Live broadcast on MEGOGO

Bayer Leverkusen go into the upcoming match in great spirits as the team continued their run with a fourth straight win in all competitions, beating none other than Manchester City (2-0) in the Champions League. Thanks to this victory, “Pharmacepts” gained eight points and are in 17th place, claiming to enter the playoffs of the main European Cup.

Before that, Kasper Jülmann’s side had won two straight in the league, scoring nine goals and conceding just one. First, Leverkusen defeated Heidenheim (6:0), and then earned three points against Wolfsburg (3:1).

That leaves Bayer third on 23 points in the Bundesliga, eight points behind Bayern Munich but in the Champions League spot and looking forward to facing Dortmund in full swing at their home stadium as they look to extend their winning streak to five matches.

Dortmund also approach the match against Bayer Leverkusen after winning the Champions League with a convincing 4-0 win over Spain’s Villarreal. After five rounds, Borussia is in sixth place in the main stage of the Champions League, claiming a place in the top eight and passage to the 1/8 finals of the tournament.

There is only one point between Bayer and Borussia in the championship, but the last games of the “bumblebees” do not inspire much positivity. First, Borussia dropped points against Hamburg (1-1), conceding in the last minutes of the second half, and then shared the points with Stuttgart (3-3), also conceding in the first stoppage time of the second half.

Niko Kovac’s team has the most reliable defense in the Bundesliga after Bayern — in 11 rounds, the “bumblebees” conceded only ten goals, which is two more than the Munich team. However, the team needs to improve their discipline and concentration, as conceding goals in the last minutes can be costly in the final stage of the season, when the fate of the European Cups will be decided.

betking offers the following odds: Bayer win – 2.50, draw – 3.75, and Borussia D win – 2.60.

CHELSEA – ARSENAL
Sunday, November 30, 6:30 p.m. Stamford Bridge, London. The main referee is Anthony Taylor. Live streaming on Setanta Sports

The 13th round of the English Premier League will present us with a London derby at the Stamford Bridge stadium, where the local Chelsea will host Arsenal. Both teams are in great form and are showing the results that the fans expect from them.

Chelsea’s surprisingly easy 3-0 drubbing of Barcelona ahead of the London derby kept the team unbeaten for a fourth consecutive European Cup game and now sit seventh in the Champions League, in contention for a place in the top eight.

After 12 rounds, Chelsea are in second place in the league table, six points behind the leaders. In the last two matches, the “blues” won two dry victories, beating Wolverhampton (3:0) and Burnley (2:0).

Thus, Enzo Maresca’s team is in good shape and as the Blues players said after the meeting with the Blaugranas, they can beat anyone now, but of course, everything depends on the circumstances.

Arsenal is currently a real winning machine, and here you can be guided purely by statistics and results. Mikel Arteta’s team has not tasted defeat since the meeting with Liverpool (0:1), which took place in August this year. Since then, the Gunners have gone on a 16-game unbeaten run with only two draws.

Like Chelsea, Arsenal also boast a victory over a strong opponent and a giant in the Champions League this week, beating Bayern Munich (3-1). This puts Arsenal firmly in the lead in the main stage of the Champions League, three points ahead of a number of teams. In five matches, the team conceded only one goal and scored 14.

Things are also looking good in the Championship too, with just one loss and two draws after 12 rounds and a comfortable six-point lead over Chelsea in first place as a result, with the gap to their chasers set to widen even further after this weekend. Interestingly, Arsenal also failed to beat Sunderland (2:2) in the Premier League, but confidently won the London derby against Tottenham (4:1).

Currently, Arteta’s team has no equal in terms of the structure of the game and the coherence of the actions of the players, who are motivated more than ever to break the records of the best times and go for the trophies that everyone has longed for at the Emirates. The latter was conquered in Su England Super Cup in 2023.

The betking company offers the following odds: Chelsea win – 3.50, draw – 3.25 and Arsenal win – 2.14.

ROME — POLICE
Sunday, November 30, 9:45 p.m. Stadio Olimpico, Rome. The main referee is Davide Massa. Live broadcast on MEGOGO

Another high-profile clash this weekend from Italy takes place in Rome, with Roma hosting Napoli at their Stadio Olimpico.

Roma scored a decisive goal in the 83rd minute to beat Denmark’s Midtjylland 2-1 this week in the European Cup. The result took Wolves to nine points in mid-table in the Europa League main stage, while the Danes were at the top after losing for the first time in round five.

Another proof of the current strength of the Roman team is their current position in the Italian championship, where Roma lead with 27 points after 12 rounds, two more than Milan and Napoli.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have frankly surpassed all the most heroic predictions after criticism from the start of the season and long talk that the club failed to sign all the players the Italian wanted to see in his squad.

One of the components of success can be called the defense of the “Wolves” – only six missed goals in 12 meetings, which is the best indicator in Serie A. If only the attack could be improved together with the performance of the Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk, then there would be no questions at all, and there is something to work on and something to strive for.

Napoli can also boast of a European Cup victory, defeating Karabakh (2:0) in the Champions League, which helped the Neapolitans to continue claiming to reach the playoffs of the main European Cup.

In the Italian championship, Antonio Conte’s team is doing better – third place and two points from the leader Roma, so the leadership, by coincidence, can return to Napoli after this round.

Before the international break, the Neapolitans unexpectedly lost to Bologna (0:2), but then recovered with a confident victory over Atalanta (3:1), where Conte’s wards scored all three goals in the first half.

Most of Napoli’s points and defeats in all competitions have come away from home, which isn’t too happy for Neapolitan fans before traveling to Rome to face Roma, who can beat anyone right now.

Yes, of course, defeat will not be critical in the championship race, but playing back and catching up is always more difficult than entering the field with confidence in one’s abilities during successful streaks and victories.

betking offers the following odds: Roma win – 2.60, draw – 2.80, and Napoli win – 3.14.
