Matchday 2 lineups and team news
Confirmed lineups are released around 60 minutes before each kick-off, so check the official club and UEFA channels for starting XIs. A few talking points going into the round:
- Liverpool head to Linz on the back of a 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, a game in which Ryan Gravenberch was sent off. That red card was in the Premier League, so it does not rule him out in Europe.
- Manchester City arrive in red-hot form, with six wins from six in the Premier League. Erling Haaland, Jérémy Doku and Rayan Cherki all scored at Anfield.
- RB Leipzig bounced back from their Matchday 1 thrashing at Como with a 6-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, and Christopher Nkunku scored a hat-trick.
- Barcelona beat Getafe 3-0 at the weekend. Raphinha leads La Liga’s scoring charts with 12 goals.
Team news often moves the market. Once the lineups drop, compare the latest prices before kick-off. Check live odds on Wolfbet →

Matchday 2 analysis and predictions
Our predictions are based on Matchday 1 results and current domestic form. They are opinion, not guarantees.
Manchester City v Paris Saint-Germain
The pick of the round. City won 2-0 in Porto on Matchday 1 and have since been flawless in the Premier League, capped by a 3-0 win at Anfield. PSG opened their campaign by putting six past Slovan Bratislava. City’s form at home makes them slight favourites, but both sides carry enough attacking quality for goals at either end. Prediction: Manchester City 2-1 PSG.
Fancy goals at the Etihad? Both-teams-to-score and over/under markets for City v PSG are open on Wolfbet, with live betting throughout the match.
Roma v Real Madrid
Real Madrid beat Inter 2-1 on Matchday 1 and edged Villarreal 1-0 in La Liga at the weekend. Roma drew 1-1 in Istanbul and were held 0-0 at Como on Sunday, although they have conceded just three goals in six Serie A games. Expect a tight game. Prediction: Roma 1-1 Real Madrid.
Atlético de Madrid v Manchester United
Atlético lost 2-1 at Anfield on Matchday 1 and need a response at home; a 2-1 win at Alavés at the weekend helps. United thrashed Sabah 4-0 but were held 1-1 by Tottenham on Saturday. The early market had this close to a coin toss. Prediction: Atlético 2-1 Manchester United.
Galatasaray v Barcelona
Barcelona thrashed Feyenoord 5-1 on Matchday 1 and beat Getafe 3-0 on Saturday, while Galatasaray lost 3-1 in Lisbon on Matchday 1. RAMS Park is a hostile venue, but the quality gap is clear. Prediction: Galatasaray 1-3 Barcelona.
Villarreal v Napoli
Both lost on Matchday 1, so this is close to a must-win for each. Napoli are in better shape after Kevin De Bruyne’s double against Frosinone, while Villarreal were beaten at the Bernabéu on Saturday. Prediction: Villarreal 1-1 Napoli.
LASK v Liverpool
Liverpool need to reset after Sunday’s heavy defeat to City. LASK were beaten in Athens on Matchday 1. Liverpool should have too much quality here. Prediction: LASK 0-2 Liverpool.
Aston Villa v Fenerbahçe
Villa won a five-goal thriller in Bruges on Matchday 1 but drew 2-2 with Brentford at the weekend. Fenerbahçe held Roma at home. Villa Park on a European night should tip the balance. Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Fenerbahçe.
The rest of Matchday 2 in brief
- Arsenal v Lille: Arsenal won in Naples and beat Leeds at the weekend. Lille lost at home to Betis. Arsenal 2-0.
- Inter v Club Brugge: Inter are joint top of Serie A and beat Parma 3-0. Inter 3-1.
- Viking v Bayern München: the biggest mismatch on paper. Bayern 0-4.
- RB Leipzig v PSV: Leipzig are in form after a 6-0 league win. Leipzig 2-1.
- Lens v Sporting CP: both won on Matchday 1. 1-1.
- Sabah v Slavia Praha: both lost on Matchday 1. Slavia 1-2.
- Feyenoord v Como: Como impressed against Leipzig; Feyenoord shipped five in Barcelona. Como 1-2.
- Real Betis v Porto: Betis won 5-2 against Osasuna; Porto lost to City on Matchday 1. Betis 2-1.
- Shakhtar v AEK Athens: at a neutral venue in London. 1-1.
- Slovan Bratislava v Stuttgart: Stuttgart won both Matchday 1 and their weekend league game. Stuttgart 0-2.
- Bodø/Glimt v Dortmund: the artificial pitch in Bodø is a leveller, but Dortmund are unbeaten in the Bundesliga. Dortmund 1-2.
