Two Classics, national teams, European Cups. Schedule and announcement of the 15 brightest football matches of October and where to watch them

A whole month of high-quality football is ahead. We are looking forward to the vicissitudes of the Ukrainian Premier League, exciting matches of each round of the top European leagues, as well as two rounds of European Cups and national team competitions. How to choose the games that are really worth watching among this number? OBOZ.UA presents a preview of the best matches of October.

Ukrainian Classic

This fall, the Ukrainian Classic will be decisive: Shakhtar once again lost points in the Premier League, while Dynamo made amends for the mistake of the last round. The gap between the giants is already 6 points. It should be noted that the capital's club looks much more solid in the UPL. It is in the Classic that the white and blues can beat the orange and blacks, thus securing an even more tangible lead. An extremely difficult calendar with a tour to Europe for both teams, which falls at the time of their face-to-face meeting, adds to the zest.

You should also watch two UPL matches featuring this season's sensational teams. The currently winless Oleksandriya will meet Rukh (05.10, 15:30), where they will try to continue to nip at Dynamo's heels. Next weekend, LNZ will test their luck: the Cherkasy team drew 1-1, will they succeed against Shakhtar (06.10, 15:30)? All games will be broadcast on UPL.TV.

League of Nations with Ukraine?

This pause for the national teams will be a turning point for Ukraine, as it will determine the future of our national team in Division B. Having started with two defeats, the yellow and blues not only have to, but must take 6/6 points. The first test will be the super-heavy and super-strong Georgia - a dark horse of both the Euro and the League of Nations. This is really a litmus test for Rebrov's experiments with the updated application.

If we lose the third round, then the return leg against the Czech Republic becomes crucial for survival. So far, we are equal on points with them, but it should be borne in mind that the 3rd place of the group is fighting for life in the playoffs, the latter is eliminated directly. Fans should watch both matches to see with their own eyes what the new main team wants to show and prove to us.

We advise you to watch a few more games of the knockout stage. The leaders of Group 3 of the highest division - Germany and the Netherlands - will determine the favorite in the race for the playoffs (14.10, 21:45). Greece has scored more goals than England in their group, and will determine who is better in a head-to-head match (10.10, 21:45). Sweden and Slovakia consider their stay in Division C a mistake and want to get promoted directly - they have to take the lead in person (11.10, 21:45). And just for the fans - will San Marino, after a triumphant victory, be able to start the first winning streak in its history by defeating Gibraltar (10.10, 21:45)? All matches will be broadcast on MEGOGO.

The top leagues have their own specialties

In 5 leagues at once, you can find several interesting matches for which you should free up a few hours of the weekend. In France, watch the Brest match. The newcomer to the CL will be Shakhtar's January opponent, so you should know them by sight. And when else to show your worth if not against the Ligue 1 leader? Moreover, the club is as weak as Bologna - but we remember how this delusion ended for the miners.

England, on the other hand, will host only two such matches, both of which involve the Merseysiders. The first is against Chelsea. By that time, the national teams' break will be over and we will see if anyone else has broken down among the top teams. We will also be able to check Liverpool's ambitions before the difficult part of the calendar.

Also, don't miss the second match, against Arsenal. Another London team that is not easy to predict. A very cool meeting, extremely important for the top of the Premier League and Slot's first duel with Arteta. No need for an announcement.

Serie A is a very interesting tournament today. Evaluate the density of the table: there are 6 rounds left, the distance between the 1st and 10th place is only 5 points, and only Empoli and Juventus have not lost. Each game of the round is very interesting, and we recommend Roma's match with Inter: a promising project against the Italian champion with problems in defense. A bonus - a new goal by Dovbyk?

We will see two Classics in one weekend: Ukrainian and Spanish. Real Madrid's clash with Atletico Madrid brought Lunin back to the goal line; it is likely that he will defend the creamy team in the match against Barcelona. It is symbolic that both clubs lost points this weekend, but the creamy ones are closer to the Catalans. What if it is in El Clasico that the Spanish leader will be renewed?

Where are we without the Bundesliga? There are no Ukrainians there, but there is an intrigue: on Friday, turn on the match between Bayern and Eintracht. It's incredible, but these teams will now decide who deserves to top the table. And Heidenheim, a team that has reached the Bundesliga for the first time in its almost 200-year history, will be close to the loser.

Every tournament will be hot in the European Cups

In October, we will see 2 rounds of European club tournaments. It will be the continuation of the CL and the UEFA Europa League and the start of the Conference League. The Ukrainian teams will be tested by the top leagues: in early October, Shakhtar will host last year's UEFA Champions League winner Atalanta, the second Italian club in a row. The zeroes with Bologna were perceived as an unfortunate but acceptable case. Will it be the same in the case of Bergamo?

The second match will be in a week and a half with a very strong and almost champion team in England. "Arsenal, although not with Zinchenko, looks like an extremely difficult opponent, against whom even a draw will be a holiday. Especially in the 3rd round of the league stage, where the results will help clubs plan further actions for the Champions League. Immediately after the Londoners, Shakhtar travel to Kyiv for the Classic. The battle with the gunners will show which tournament is the priority of the Ukrainian champion.

Life is no easier for Kyiv in the Europa League. The crushing defeat complicated their position in the table due to the -3 in the goal column. " Dynamo lost their team spirit against Lazio, and now they are expected in Hoffenheim. The local club of the same name meets the white and blues after a shameful defeat to Werder, losing a three-goal lead. Will the Ukrainian team be able to catch on to the same weaknesses?

Next up, they have to take on another top representative of Rome. The local Roma is in an interesting position: a new coach, a scandal with the management, a victorious march even without de Rossi. They also have a powerful weapon - the Dovbyk-Dybala combination, which Shovkovsky will have to counter with an unknown lineup. And all of this is also before the Classic.

This round will be more difficult to watch the European Cups: there are fewer game days and many more matches at the same time. It's hard to choose the most interesting one in the CL, because there are top duels for each round. Rely on your own whims: "Real Madrid vs. Borussia D, Bayer Leverkusen vs. Milan, Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich, or Benfica vs. Atletico Madrid.

But in the Europa League, there is room for maneuver. We recommend a meeting between two problematic clubs that were painted as favorites. "In the Premier League, MU crumbles against even average teams, and the draw with Twente threw a stone in their garden. Will ten Hag be able to overcome Porto? The opponent is not easy, almost invincible in the Portuguese championship and very angry after the last round: after the defeat of Budet/Glimt, they can't lose points again.

Absurdity or reality: Chelsea fans are asking themselves this question because their team is in the Conference League and has to fight with clubs that are ten times cheaper than them. The first such match will be against Ghent. In the Premier League, the Londoners are (unexpectedly) on a roll, with Palmer even making the first ever poker in one half. Can they be as successful on the international stage?
