Fulham and Chelsea open the 2026/27 Premier League season with a West London derby at Craven Cottage on August 24. It is the first league match of the new campaign, so neither side has points or a current league position yet. In 2025/26, Chelsea finished 10th with 52 points, scoring 58 goals and conceding 52. Fulham were 11th, also collecting 52 points, but scored 47 goals and conceded 51, showing that the gap between the sides was not particularly wide on paper. Recent history still gives Chelsea the long-term advantage, although the balance at Craven Cottage has shifted. Chelsea won 2-0 in the first meeting of 2025/26, before Fulham responded with a 2-1 home victory in January 2026. Pre-season form also points toward a closely contested game: Fulham beat Stuttgart 1-0 in their final friendly after drawing 2-2 with Malaga and beating Farense 2-1. Chelsea ended their preparations with a 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad. Considering Fulham’s defensive stability at home and Chelsea’s g

Fulham, the home team, has recently undergone a managerial change. Two key defenders are unavailable, leading to obvious weaknesses in the back - line's coordinated defense and aerial - ball defense. Despite these issues, the team can rely on the home - field advantage at Craven Cottage. Their home - ground atmosphere is a powerful asset. They are well - versed in the art of quick counter - attacks. The attacking line has the ability to score goals, which gives them a chance in the game. However, they may struggle to withstand a long - lasting, high - intensity onslaught from the opponents. The lack of key defensive players could put them under significant pressure when facing a relentless offensive.

This is a London derby, which can significantly reduce the gap between the teams. Chelsea should have more individual quality and possession, but Fulham at home can make the game uncomfortable through physical pressure and quick transitions. The key question isn't “Can Chelsea win?” — it's “Can Chelsea win comfortably?” That's where the handicap becomes dangerous.

SC Verl, a team in the 3. Liga, started the new season with two losses and conceded as many as eight goals. The defensive issues are quite obvious. When hosting Hamburg, a Bundesliga - level team, they are more likely to take on the challenge with a fighting spirit, and their determination is beyond doubt. On the other hand, Hamburg hasn't started the league in the new season yet. Their preseason friendlies were inconsistent. The absence of several defensive players due to injuries will surely impact their overall defensive system. The single - elimination format of the DFB - Pokal means that despite Hamburg's superiority in strength, they may get stuck in a tough battle away from home. If Verl can solidify their defense and look for counter - attack opportunities, they have a chance to cause trouble for Hamburg. The real fighting spirit and on - field adaptability of both teams will be the key factors determining the outcome of this game. SC Verl conceded 8 goals in the first two leag

Algrinik started the new season undefeated in the German Regional League, showing consistent efficiency in the attacking end. However, in the German Cup, they face the Bundesliga relegation side Wolfsburg, and the gap in strength between the two teams is significant. Wolfsburg has remained undefeated at the start of the 2. Bundesliga and has a solid defense. But as a team relegated from the Bundesliga last season, their top priority this season is undoubtedly to win promotion back to the top - flight league. This makes one question their commitment to the cup competition. Considering that the home - team Algrinik has the home - field advantage and is in good form recently, while the away - team Wolfsburg has to focus on league points. Coupled with the unpredictability of the single - elimination format in the cup, it's doubtful whether Wolfsburg will go all out in this game. In this clear - cut mismatch between a stronger and a weaker side, the big question is whether the outcome will

At the start of the new season, Osasuna and Levante find themselves in vastly different situations, setting the stage for this encounter. Osasuna had their first - round league game postponed, which gives them an edge in physical fitness. However, they lack real - game practice. Their preseason friendlies were inconsistent, and there are doubts about the stability of their defense. Still, they are always eager to grab points at home. On the other hand, Levante suffered a comprehensive defeat in their first - round away game, revealing numerous problems in their defense. The team desperately needs a rebound to stop the losing streak. But away - game performance has never been their strong suit. Notably, Osasuna holds a psychological advantage in recent head - to - heads. Yet, Levante is not a team to give up easily. Their quick - counterattack tactic will pose a real threat to the home team's defense. Considering that Levante failed to score in the first round, they are bound to make ad
