[34] Leipzig – Sporting [19]
Wednesday, January 22, 7:45 p.m. RB Arena, Leipzig. The main referee is Manfredas Lukyanchukas (Lithuania) Having previously lost to Arsenal at home and Club Brugge away, Sporting will look to improve their Champions League standings today. The Lisbon team will face Leipzig, which has already lost its chances of qualifying for the playoffs, and has not yet managed to score even one point. In the evening, Marko Rose’s wards can repeat the anti-record for German clubs for the number of consecutive defeats in the Champions League, set by Bayer Leverkusen (7) in the 2002/03 season.

“Bulls” approach today’s match against the background of two away defeats in the German championship. A week earlier, Leipzig lost to top-four rivals Stuttgart (2-1) and last weekend drew with outsiders Bochum (3-3), losing a three-goal first-half lead in the second half. So the team ended up on the fifth step of the Bundesliga.

The Lions, under Rui Borges appointed at the end of 2024, recently lost to Benfica (1-1, 7-8 on penalties) in the final of the Portuguese League Cup in Leiria. In the national championship last weekend, Sporting saw off Rio Ave 3-0 away from home. This helped the club restore its gap with the same Benfica, which is second in the standings, in the amount of three points.

It should also be noted that Rose’s team has an away match against Sturm ahead, while Borges’ team will host Bologna.

INDICATIVE COMPOSITIONS Leipzig: Vandevordt — Gertreida, Orban, Bitshiabu, Raum — Seiwald, Aidara — Baumgartner, Nusa — Openda, Sesko

[5] Arsenal — Dinamo Zagreb [25]
Wednesday, January 22, 22:00. Arsenal Stadium, London. Chief referee — Daniel Siebert (Germany) Arsenal, after convincing victories over Sporting in Lisbon with a score of 5:1 and over Monaco at home (3:0), is one step away from a guaranteed exit to the 1/8 finals of the playoffs of the renewed Champions League. Dynamo, against the background of a crushing defeat against Borussia Dortmund (0:3) and a draw with Celtic (0:0) in Zagreb, still hopes to stay in the qualification zone until 1/16.

The Londoners under the leadership of Mikel Arteta won the North London derby a week earlier, defeating Tottenham in a determined style (2:1) on their own field, and last weekend at the same Arsenal Stadium they did not hold on to a two-goal advantage over Aston Villa (2:2). . The Gunners are now six points behind the Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Dynamo appointed Fabio Cannavaro as head coach at the end of December, and played three friendly matches in January. At the meeting in Turkey, the “Syns” drew with Shakhtar Donetsk (2:2), defeated Lech (3:1) and did not prove stronger in the sparring match with Jagiellonia (1:1). The club from Zagreb entered the winter break on the third step of the tournament table of the Croatian championship.

It should also be noted that Arteta’s team has an away match against Girona, while Cannavaro’s team will host Milan.

[15] Milan — Girona [30]
Wednesday, January 22, 22:00. San Siro Stadium, Milan. The main referee is Tobias Stieler (Germany). Aiming for a place in the top 8 of the updated Champions League, Milan will try to extend its four-game winning streak in the European Cup today. Girona still have a chance to qualify for the play-offs, but with only three points available so far, gained from a 2-0 home win over outsiders Slovan, they are very slim.

“Rossoneri” approach today’s confrontation after an away victory and defeat in the Italian championship. In a strong-willed style, Sergio Conceisan’s team managed to beat Como 2:1 before losing to Juventus (2:0). In the Serie A standings, Milan is currently eighth, lagging behind the top 4 by the same number of points.

Girona started 2025 in La Liga with a 1-0 stoppage-time away win over Alaves. Michel’s team suffered a similar setback last weekend, losing 1-2 at home to Sevilla due to a goal conceded near the end of the match.

[22] Real Madrid – Salzburg [33]
Wednesday, January 22, 22:00. Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid. Chief referee — Glenn Nyberg (Sweden) Real Madrid, on the back of a 2-0 away defeat against Liverpool and a 3-2 win over Atalanta, will be aiming solely for three points in today’s home match. Due to crushing defeats by Bayer in Leverkusen (5:0) and PSG at home (0:3), Salzburg have incredibly little chance of reaching the playoffs.

The “Creams” led by Carlo Ancelotti in Madrid recently knocked out Celta (2:2, 5:2 after extra time) from the 1/8 finals of the Spanish Cup, going to Leganes. Real Madrid thrashed Las Palmas 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu last weekend, returning to the top of the La Liga standings thanks to Atletico’s misfire.

“Bulls” with the new manager Thomas Letsch, appointed at the beginning of 2025, did not participate in official matches. In the control match against Bayern on their own field, Salzburg suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 6:0, after which, in Portugal, they also lost to Midtjylland (3:2).

INDICATIVE COMPOSITIONS Real Madrid: Courtois — Valverde, Asensio, Rudiger, Garcia — Modric, Chuameni, Bellingham — Rodrigo, Mbappe, Vinicius

[23] Celtic – Young Boys [36]
Wednesday, January 22, 22:00. Celtic Park, Glasgow. The main referee is Rohit Saggi (Norway) Having suffered only one, but devastating defeat (7:1 against Borussia Dortmund) in the previous six rounds, Celtic today will have a good opportunity to secure a place in the 1/16 finals of the playoffs of the renewed Champions League. After six consecutive defeats, Young Boys still do not have a single point, so the chances of reaching the next round have already been lost.

Brendan Rodgers’ team recently narrowly escaped an away defeat by Dundee (3:3) in the Scottish Premier League. However, this has hardly affected the standings, as Celtic now have a 13-point lead over second-placed Rangers. Last weekend, the “green and whites” pleased their fans with the expected exit to the 1/8 finals of the Scottish Cup, beating Kilmarnock (2:1) in Glasgow.

Young Boys, under December-appointed head coach Giorgio Contini, returned from the winter break with a home draw against Swiss league outsiders Winterthur. The club from Bern has been struggling in the current campaign so far, sitting in ninth out of 12 places in the standings, although only eight points behind the leaders.

It should also be noted that Rodgers’ team has an away match against Aston Villa ahead, while Contini’s team will host Red Star.

INDICATIVE COMPOSITIONS Celtic: Schmeichel – Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor – Engels, McGregor, Hatate – Kuhn, Furuhashi, Maeda

Young Boys: Keller — Bloom, Atekame, Benito, Hadjam — Ugrynich, Lakomy — Males, Colli, Monteiro — Itten

[29] Sparta Prague — Inter [7]
Wednesday, January 22, 22:00. Letna Stadium, Prague. The main referee is Alejandro Hernandez (Spain) Sparta approaches today’s home match on the back of four consecutive European Cup defeats, which left the Prague club with almost no chance of reaching the playoffs of the renewed Champions League. Inter, against the background of the defeat against Bayer in Leverkusen (1:0), will aim to close the issue of reaching the 1/8 finals of the tournament by winning in Prague.

The wards of Lars Fries played two friendly matches in January, which were successful for the Reds. In Spanish Marbella, Sparta dealt with two Scandinavian rivals: Malmö (3:1) and Bude/Glimt (3:0). The Prague club entered the winter break on the third step of the Czech championship standings, trailing leaders Slavia by 13 points.

“The Nerazzurri” under the leadership of Simone Inzaghi, after a home draw with Bologna (2:2) and a rather calm victory over Empoli (3:1), continues its efforts to defend the championship title in Serie A.

[20] Feyenoord – Bavaria [12]
Wednesday, January 22, 22:00. Feyenoord Stadium “De Cape”, Rotterdam. Chief referee — François Letexier (France) After three consecutive titles in the Champions League, including the December rout of Shakhtar in Gelsenkirchen (5:1), Bayern is one step away from qualifying for the playoffs and can count on the 1/8 finals right away. Feyenoord, on the other hand, will probably have to solve the issue of not being relegated from the European Cup already in the last round of the main stage.

Brian Priske’s team unexpectedly reached the quarter-finals of the Dutch Cup a week earlier, on the way to it with a score of 4:1 on the road against Rheinsburgse Boys (third division of the country).
