All times: 18:45 & 21:00 CET · 17:45 & 20:00 BST (UK) · 21:45 & 00:00 PKT. Fixtures verified via OpenLigaDB.
🌟 Game of the night: Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain
Etihad Stadium — 21:00 CET (20:00 BST). The tie of the round: City have won all eight matches under Enzo Maresca, sit top of the Premier League, and beat Porto 2-0 on Matchday 1. PSG are the back-to-back European champions, opened with a 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava, and have won four straight in all competitions.
The subplots write themselves: Gianluigi Donnarumma faces his former club for the first time since swapping Paris for Manchester, Erling Haaland is one goal from becoming City's all-time top scorer in the competition, and ex-City man Ferran Torres is expected to start for PSG. Last meeting: PSG's famous 4-2 comeback win in January 2025.
Team news: City have a clean bill of health — Phil Foden is available again after suspension and Jeremy Doku is pushing for a start after his Anfield impact. PSG are close to full strength too; Ousmane Dembélé and Nuno Mendes were rested at the weekend and should return, with young Senny Mayulu the only absentee. Prediction: a high-scoring draw — City 2-2 PSG.
AS Roma vs Real Madrid21:00 CET
The night's other heavyweight clash. Madrid travel to the Stadio Olimpico knowing a win keeps them perfect; Roma, roared on by a ferocious home crowd, have made the Olimpico a fortress in Europe. Watch the midfield battle — it decides this one.
📍 Stadio Olimpico, Rome
FK Bodø/Glimt vs Borussia Dortmund21:00 CET
Dortmund's dreaded Arctic trip: an artificial pitch, freezing temperatures and a Bodø/Glimt side that fears nobody at home. The Norwegians have humbled bigger names than this — Dortmund cannot afford to treat it as a formality.
📍 Aspmyra Stadion, Bodø
LASK vs Liverpool18:45 CET
The early kick-off in Linz. Liverpool need a professional away performance to keep pace at the top of the table; LASK will look to frustrate and hit on the break in front of a sold-out Raiffeisen Arena.
📍 Raiffeisen Arena, Linz
Feyenoord vs Como 190718:45 CET
De Kuip under the lights is always an occasion. Como's fairytale European debut continues against seasoned continental campaigners — a proper test of how far the Italian newcomers have come.
📍 De Kuip, Rotterdam
Aston Villa vs Fenerbahçe21:00 CET
Villa Park hosts a crackling tie. Villa's high-energy pressing against Fenerbahçe's streetwise European experience — expect intensity from the first whistle and a loud, loud away end.
📍 Villa Park, Birmingham
Real Betis vs Porto21:00 CET
Two proud clubs who both need points after mixed starts. Betis' flair at the Benito Villamarín against Porto's tournament know-how — fine margins, likely decided by a single moment.
📍 Benito Villamarín, Seville
Shakhtar Donetsk vs AEK Athens21:00 CET
An even-looking contest between two sides targeting the playoff places. Shakhtar's young technical side against AEK's physical, direct approach — the contrast in styles should make it watchable.
Slovan Bratislava vs VfB Stuttgart21:00 CET
Stuttgart travel to Slovakia as favourites but Slovan, stung by that 6-1 opening defeat to PSG, will be desperate to show their home fans a reaction. Stuttgart's pace in transition is the danger.
📍 Tehelné pole, Bratislava
