Basel vs Brondby Match Preview

Basel will be keen to overturn the defeat they suffered in the first leg of this Europa Conference League match.
Brondby missed the chance to take a comfortable lead into this second leg, and they now know a goal from the hosts will square the tie.
Basel has been on a terrible run of form with no wins from their last four matches, and they have drawn three of them.
That does not help them in any way, and as they enter this fixture, they know they must do more to win in front of their fans.
Brondby lost their last competitive game to Copenhagen 4-1, but their opponents in that match were better than Basel has been for some time now.
The visitors have two wins from their last five competitive games, the other three have ended in losses.
The unpredictable form of this teams mean this game could very likely end in a draw.

HJK vs Maribor Match Preview

HJK would look to finish the work they started in the first leg when they face Maribor in this match.
They won the first leg 2-0 in Slovenia, and it was an impressive show of how good they are in this European campaign.
They have been in an impressive run of form in their competitive games this season and head into this match with just a defeat in their last five matches.
That loss came in the Champions League qualifier against Plzen, and they will feel they are too good to not be in the Europa League group stages.
Maribor is on a very poor run of form before this game and heads into the fixture with four consecutive losses.
Since the last time they won a game, they have been beaten twice in the league, once in the Champions League and in the Europa League.
The odds are stacked against them in this match, and they could suffer yet another defeat in this fixture.

Willian terminate his Corinthians contract

Former Arsenal and Chelsea man, Willian, has terminated his contract at the Brazilian club Corinthians after Palmeiras knocked them out of the Copa Libertadores.

The much-travelled Brazilian had returned home to Corinthians after his contract at Arsenal was terminated by mutual consent.

He hoped to become relevant again and perhaps finish his career at his hometown club.

However, that has not happened, and Matchplug understands that he is now a free agent after his deal was terminated by mutual consent.

The attacker had a successful career in European football, and he might return to the continent.

However, at the moment, there are no clubs looking to add him to their squad, and he could be stuck in the Brazilian top flight.

It would be interesting to see what his next career move would be.

‘I had a good time in England’ Werner reacts to leaving Chelsea

Despite struggling and ultimately leaving Chelsea this summer, Timo Werner insists he had a good time in England.

The German has just returned to RB Leipzig two years after he left them in a big money deal.

He was one of the best strikers in the world when he first played for the German club before and would now look to replicate that form now that he is back.

However, he shouldn’t look back at his time in England and be proud of it because he was awful for the most.

However, speaking at his latest unveiling, the striker remained positive about his spell in England and insisted that he had a good time.

He said, as quoted by Matchplug: ‘The last 24 hours have been really exciting, and it’s been a lot of fun to see so many familiar faces again.

‘I had a good time in England. I learnt a lot and got to know a new league.

‘At the same time, Leipzig developed a lot too. They’ve won a title and have the same high ambitions as Chelsea.’
