Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa

Forest have lost their last five games but have taken the lead in recent home defeats to Bournemouth and Fulham, while Villa, who are struggling for goals, should cut loose against the Premier League strugglers.

Elche v Real Mallorca

Elche have collected just one point in La Liga this season and opponents Real Mallorca should be encouraged after being beaten by a single goal against Barcelona, so the visitors may have the edge here.

Sochaux v St-Etienne

Sochaux won six straight Ligue 2 games before their defeat against Valenciennes, but they should get back to winning ways against struggling Saint-Etienne, who have claimed just two victories this season

Eibar v Mirandes

Eibar have won all four of their Segunda home games this season and they can get the better of Mirandes, who have conceded a league-high 14 goals this term.
