Atletico Madrid to beat Rayo Vallecano

The four-timer pays just over 5-1 with Hills

Brighton v Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest are having a tough time of it on their return to the Premier League, having picked up only one win in their first ten league games, and they look set for further misery at Brighton.

Hoffenheim v Schalke

Hoffenheim are shaping up brilliantly in the Bundesliga this season but they can also book their place in the third round of the German Cup at the expense of Schalke, who have dropped points in nine of their ten league games this term.

Stoke v Rotherham

Stoke have responded well to their 4-0 defeat to Watford at the start of the month, having held Burnley to a draw before wins over Sheffield United and Preston, and they can get the better of Rotherham.

Atletico Madrid v Rayo Vallecano

Having seemingly rediscovered their defensive resolve, Atletico Madrid are on a three-match winning run in La Liga. They can extend that streak to four games against Rayo Vallecano.
