Celta Vigo v Real Betis

Only Real Madrid and Barcelona collected more points than Real Betis in La Liga before the international break and the Andalusians can pick up from where they left off when they visit Vigo.

Betis were dealt a major blow last month when key forward Juanmi picked up an ankle injury which could keep him out until January, but the good news heading into this weekend is that creative midfielder Nabil Fekir is set to return after a spell on the sidelines.

Manuel Pellegrini's side have been in fine form nonetheless, winning each of their last four games in all competitions, and the return of Fekir should see them get the better of Celta Vigo, who have lost their last two games against Atletico Madrid (1-4) and Valencia (0-3).

Hertha Berlin v Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim are one of a handful of Bundesliga clubs looking to capitalise on Bayern Munich's slow start and they found themselves fourth before the international break.

They already have four league wins to their name and a 0-0 draw with fellow highflyers Freiburg last time out was another respectable result.

The return of Robert Skov against Hertha on Sunday should further enhance their forward threat, but they are also rock-solid at the back with their three-man defence having conceded only twice in their last five games. Back them to swat aside lowly Hertha.

Troyes v Reims

It has been a calamitous start to the season for Reims, who lost star defender Wout Faes to Leicester in the summer and have had a player sent off in four of their last five matches.

They are leaking goals, shipping 17 in eight Ligue 1 matches, and are worth opposing on the road to Troyes.

Troyes finished 15th in Ligue 1 last term and are going along nicely this season, posting wins over Angers, Monaco and Clermont. Armed with home advantage, they are a solid bet to win this one too.
