Saturday, November 2nd

BST 15:00 Nottingham Forest vs West Ham

Although Nottingham Forest might have found themselves at the heart of a Premier League relegation scrap last season, Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have come roaring back in a remarkable fashion. With just their goal difference keeping them outside the European spots, the former Wolves boss has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits. Putting in another thumping performance last week as they claimed a 3-1 romp away at Leicester, Saturday’s hosts have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first nine Premier League appearances. Marking their return from October’s international break with a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace, Forest have also picked up some heavyweight scalps this season. Springing an almighty upset on September 14th as they secured a famous 1-0 win away at title contenders Liverpool, Santo’s side will be hoping to skyrocket their way into the top-six when they return to the City Ground this weekend.

Managing to make a crucial return to winning ways last weekend as they secured a hugely controversial 2-1 win at home against Manchester United, West Ham will be desperate to use that late flurry as a platform to build on. However, while the Hammers might have appointed Julen Lopetegui over the summer, the Spanish tactician has failed to offer much stability in east London. Marking their return from October’s international break with a nightmare collapse away at bitter rivals Tottenham as they slumped to a 4-1 drumming, Saturday’s guests have continued to show some glaring defensive issues. In fact, continuing on from last season, West Ham have remarkably recorded just a single Premier League clean sheet since the start of January. Likewise, falling to a 2-0 loss when they last travelled to the City Ground back on February 17th, Lopetegui’s squad should have another tricky test on the cards this weekend.

16:00 PSG vs Lens

While PSG might have struggled to find much stability since opening up their Champions League adventure, the French giants are pencilled in as a landslide contender to make more domestic history this season. Putting in what was a thumping performance last weekend as they stormed their way to a 3-0 romp away at historic rivals Marseille, Luis Enrique’s side have skyrocketed their way back to the top of the Ligue 1 table. Marking their return from October’s international break with a thumping 4-2 win against Strasbourg, the former Barcelona boss has also seen his squad gain a fearsome reputation for their success on home soil. Along with signing off September with a 3-1 victory against Rennes, PSG have collected 16 points from their first six home fixtures across all competitions. It should also be highlighted, Enrique’s side have registered 18 goals in those six consecutive showdowns in the capital.

Although Lens might have marked their return from October’s international break with a much-welcomed 2-0 win against St. Etienne, Will Still’s side came immediately crashing back down to earth last weekend. Falling to a 2-0 defeat at home against Lille, Saturday’s guests have struggled to find any kind of stability since their bright start to proceedings. Watching their Europa Conference League qualifying campaign come to an end falling a 3-2 aggregate defeat against Panathinaikos, Lens have recorded just a single win from any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions. Pencilled in as a landslide underdog this weekend, the former Reims boss should be concerned by a nightmare record against the defending champions. In fact, Still’s camp have lost their last three meetings against PSG by an aggregate score of 8-2. Likewise, Le Racing have failed to collect a single victory in the capital since way back in 2006.

Tip: Bradley Barcola to score anytime @ 7/4

20:00 Valencia vs Real Madrid 

Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny last weekend as they fell to an infamous 4-0 drumming at the hands of arch-rivals Barcelona, Real Madrid will have plenty of pressure on their shoulders here. Currently sat six points adrift of finding a route back to the top of the La Liga table, Carlo Ancelotti’s side must claim an immediate response on Saturday night. Mounting a crucial Champions League comeback at home against Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart last week as they eventually clinched a thrilling 5-2 win, the former AC Milan boss knows the importance of finding some crucial defensive steel. Despite marking their return from October’s international break with a 2-1 victory away at Celta Vigo, Los Blancos have recorded just a sole clean sheet from any of their previous nine appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to September 14th.

While some in Valencia’s camp might have opened up the new campaign with their sights set on mounting a genuine European charge, Los Ches find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. Marking their return from October’s international break with an action-packed 3-2 loss at home against Las Palmas, Ruben Baraja’s side appear to have a major battle on their hands this season. Getting proceedings underway on August 17th with a 2-1 defeat against runaway leaders Barcelona, Saturday’s hosts open this weekend’s fixtures sat rock-bottom of the La Liga table and tipped as a leading relegation candidate. Only putting seven points on the board from any of their first 11 La Liga appearances, Valencia have also gained an unwanted reputation for their glaring defensive issues. Including a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Real Sociedad on September 28th, Baraja’s side have already shipped 17 top-flight strikes.
