3:1 up, Bodø/Glimt head into the second leg as favourites.

The fan sees: NEC Nijmegen desperate to claw back a two-goal deficit.
The Dutch side came through Olympiakos - and their defensive display across those two legs was tight, disciplined, no way through.
A wall.

We're looking at: a club from a city of 50,000 on the northern tip of Norway.
A side that beat Manchester City, Atlético Madrid, Sporting CP - and Inter Milan.
Twice.

This club is real. And tonight they're playing at home.

In the third qualifying round, Glimt eliminated Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 6:5 on aggregate.
Not quietly. Not on penalties. Six scored, five conceded - and through.

NEC builds walls. Glimt starts shootouts.

Which of those two approaches breaks the other tonight at Aspmyra Stadion?

130 goals. 149 appearances. Al-Nassr.

0.87 goals per game. A rate any 25-year-old striker in Europe would take without hesitation.

Ronaldo is 41.

The Riyadh crowd chants his name every time he touches the ball, third season running, as if he only just signed.

Tonight at 20:00, Al-Ettifaq.

Al-Nassr are currently top of the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo is still the squad's leading scorer.

At 41.

Does appearance number 200 arrive before any of this slows down?

21:00. Bodø/Glimt are running out of the tunnel.

This morning the manager told his players one thing.
"We're not scared of their style."

The dressing room, by all accounts, felt like a final.
Not a qualifier.
A final.

NEC Nijmegen stand between this Norwegian club and the Champions League.
One leg. Ninety minutes.

🟡 Can Bodø/Glimt pass the Dutch test on 25 August?

Glimt have built Norway's European coefficient match by match, each continental night adding another layer. Progress means a first-ever Champions League group stage. Exit means every giant they ever shocked never got their answer.

West Ham concede 1.3 goals a game.
Southampton at home. 20:45.

Taty Castellanos has 2 cup goals already this season, and the Hammers' backline will hand him the keys tonight.

But that's not the interesting part.

Referee Ricardo was promoted to Select Group 1 only recently. St. Mary's tonight is his first ever West Ham match.

Baptism of fire.

West Ham have won the last two meetings between these sides. Southampton concede 1.0 goals per game, the visitors 1.3.

The Hammers have won just two of their last five.

Will Ricardo keep a lid on things the moment Castellanos comes knocking again?

Three goals. Fifteen minutes. Done.

Chelsea score a third on the break. Fulham lead 2-1, it still looks fine. Then it falls apart in fifteen minutes.

The defence leaves space on a quick transition. One run, one pass, tip gone.

One thing I'm taking from this: London derbies run hot from the first whistle. I didn't account for that.

Tonight West Ham travel to St. Mary's.

No Souček. No Todibo. No Magassa.

And Ward-Prowse will walk out at St. Mary's for the first time in his career as the away side. The crowd know every corner, every free kick he curls in from the right.

Will he still take that free kick from the right with St. Mary's whistling at him?

Abha - Al-Khaleej
⚽️ Final score Abha 1-1 Al Khaleej
🎯 Our pick Over 1.5 goals @ 1.45
📝 How the match went

The match between Abha and Al-Khaleej provided an efficient display of scoring. Joshua King opened the account for Al-Khaleej in the 17th minute, but Abha struck back quickly with a goal from Keshim Al-Qahtani in the 24th minute. Despite multiple substitutions and yellow cards, including one for Michy Batshuayi, the final score remained 1-1.

The statistics reveal a competitive edge for the home side, with Abha holding 52 percent possession and totaling 15 shots compared to 8 from the visitors. Abha showed more intent in the final third with 21 touches in the opposition box versus 11 for Al-Khaleej, although both sides struggled to test the keepers consistently, resulting in only 5 total shots on target.

Another big win for TipMistr! Our pick on Over 1.5 goals at odds 1.45 sailed home comfortably in the first half. We are thrilled to celebrate another successful ticket with you.

Our pre-match analysis correctly identified Abha's defensive instability as a key factor. Even though the match ended in a draw, the expectation that both defenses would be vulnerable proved accurate. By predicting goals early, we successfully capitalized on the high-scoring nature of their head-to-head history.
