The loss of midfield orchestrator Galvin Stens (thigh injury, out until December) stripped the team of its only “attacking metronome.” Stens averaged 2.1 key passes per match, accounting for 35% of Pisa’s total. His replacements complete only 72% of passes—16% lower than Stens—and the central penetration is virtually gone.

SJK is a mid-to-upper table team in the Finnish league. While they are slightly weaker overall than Inter Turku, they can still pose a threat against stronger sides. Currently, SJK has 16 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses, accumulating 54 points and ranking 4th in the Championship Group. Their attack has been potent, scoring 62 goals, but defensively, they have conceded 46 goals, showing vulnerabilities that need attention.

TPS’s home advantage and attacking versatility give them a slight edge, while HJK’s recent slump may continue unless they find rhythm quickly. Expect a competitive game with goals from both sides possible.

Al-Raed is a mid-table team in the Saudi Pro League, consistently maintaining stable performance in recent years with minor fluctuations in league ranking. This season, the team has recorded 3 wins and 3 losses, earning 9 points and sitting 9th in the league. Their attack has been fairly strong, scoring 10 goals in 6 matches, but defensive issues are evident, having conceded 8 goals.

The club from "Arena Garibaldi," under the leadership of Filippo Inzaghi, finally managed to achieve their long-standing goal and rise to the country's top division. However, they started the season under a different coach, Gilardino, and not successfully: they were already knocked out of the cup by their second opponent there, Torino, and in the league, they have only occasionally managed to scrape draws. In a sensational result last round, they finished 2-2 with Milan!

The club from "Stadio di Cornaredo" won the battle against Lausanne-Sport last season for fourth place in the final standings. That secured them a spot in European competitions, but their campaign ended swiftly and disappointingly: 0-0 and 0-1 against CFR in the Europa League, and 0-5 and 4-2 against Celje in the Conference League. The league start was also poor, but since late September, they've improved, winning several matches in a row. However, against Servette, they stumbled and lost 1-2.

Davide Nicola’s side scores about one goal per game, conceding an average of 1.25. The newly promoted side also nets about one goal, conceding 1.13 per match.

It was in the sixth round that National Bank won its first game of the 2025-26 Premier League Egypt season, beating Petrojet 3-0 after a series of five games without a win. The following week, they drew 1-1 with Wadi Delga and then beat Ismaily SC 2-1. In the 10th round, National Bank lost 0-1 for the second time this season to Al Masry before winning 3-0 against El Gouna last week. The team is solid defensively (5 goals in 10 games).

Overreliance on Stars: 56% of possessions initiated by Edwards or Gobert, limiting variety. On October 25, when outscored 40–31 in the 3rd quarter, Finch took 10 minutes to adjust, losing 9 points in that span.

Core Health Concerns: Kevin Durant (missed one week in April due to injury) remains questionable. He averages 26.6 PPG, 6 RPG, and 4.2 APG this season and posted a 26-8-7 triple-double against the Grizzlies on Feb. 26. Bradley Beal is also doubtful after missing the last seven games; his 17.3 PPG and 3.6 APG may be absent from the perimeter.

Brighton, on the other hand, have won 5, drawn 2, and lost 3 of their last 10 games, showing fairly average form. They have some attacking firepower, with big wins over Chelsea and Barnsley, but their defense has been unstable, most recently losing 2-4 away to Manchester United. Brighton also face injury issues,

Liverpool have won 5 and lost 5 of their last 10 matches, showing significant inconsistency. In their most recent game, they lost 2-3 away to Brentford, but earlier in European competition, they had a big 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
