Gent vs Valencia Live TV Online

If Valencia win today in Belgium, the Spanish team will almost be through to the next round, whereas Gent can't afford to lose if they want to progress.

After a very difficult and strange encounter at Mestalla two weeks ago, Gent will welcome Valencia to Belgium hoping to strike a counter-blow and prolong their hopes of qualification to the next round of UEFA Champions League. The Belgians are at the top of the domestic league still unbeaten, one point clear of Anderlecht, and during the weekend they have won their fourth consecutive away victory.

First match was decided by a number of own-goals and Gent hope to improve in that matter, while Valencia manager Nuno knows his future could be hanging by a thin thread, as his team has two away fixtures that could decide their season in this week – in addition to away trip to Belgium, Valencia will play Celta Vigo, currently third-placed team in La Liga, team in a brilliant form and ready to further damage Valencia’s chances of a good league position.

Valencia are still playing without injured Diego Alves, as well as Rodrigo in attack. Sofiane Feghouli, who actually scored five of Valencia’s last eleven goals in the Champions League, is doubtful but should feature. As for the Belgians, Hein Vanhaezebrouck will have to assemble his team without Laurent Depoitre who got injured during the weekend clash against Leuven.

Head to Head:

In addition to the meeting two weeks ago when the Spanish club managed to beat the Belgians 2-1 at Mestalla, Valencia and Gent’s only previous meeting was in the Intertoto Cup back in July 2005. The Spanish team won 2-0 at home, after a goalless draw in Belgium.

Team news:

Gent: Doubtful – Depoitre, Pedersen, Matton, Elmahid, Gershon, Johansson.

Valencia: Injured – Diego Alves, Ryan, Abdennour, Rodrigo; Doubtful – Feghouli.

Possible lineups:

Gent: Sels; Asare, Mitrovic, Nielsen; Neto, Kums, Saief, Milicevic, Dejaegere, Foket; Coulibaly.

Valencia: Domenech; Barragan, Santos, Mustafi, Gaya; Javi Fuego, Andre Gomes, Parejo, Feghouli; Piatti, Alcacer.

Maccabi Tel Aviv vs FC Porto Live TV Watch Online

Porto travel to winless Maccabi Tel-Aviv on Wednesday, with the Portuguese two points clear at the top of the standings heading into matchday four.

Porto established a clear lead in Group G on matchday three and will be looking to underline their dominance in the return against a Maccabi Tel-Aviv side who have lost all three games.

The Tel Aviv club, back in the group stage after 11 years, began with a 4-0 defeat at Chelsea FC on matchday one before going down 2-0 at home to FC Dynamo Kyiv. Despite Eran Zahavi’s seven goals in the qualifying rounds, Maccabi won only two of their six fixtures in qualifying and have now lost five of their nine UEFA Champions League matches this season. Zahavi is currently in great form, with five goals in his last five club appearances.

Maccabi secured 1-0 win over Hapoel Tel-Aviv last weekend. Carlos García’s second goal in four outings earned Maccabi the derby spoils – the Spanish defender’s previous 54 appearances had brought a solitary strike.

Porto began their 20th group stage campaign with a 2-2 draw in Kyiv and then won 2-1 at home to Chelsea. They have scored two goals in each of their three games so far.

Since they will almost certainly reach the Champions League knock-out round, they will hope to improve on last season’s run to the quarter-finals where they lost 7-4 on aggregate to FC Bayern München, suffering a 6-1 second-leg loss in Germany. They are 17 games unbeaten in all competitions since that defeat.

Porto were scheduled to face Uniao on Saturday but the match was postponed because adverse weather meant their plane was unable to land in Madeira.

Head to Head

Porto’s first-ever meeting with Israeli opponents ended satisfactorily with a 2-0 win against Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC on matchday three. Vincent Aboubakar and Yacine Brahimi were the scorers for Porto.

Maccabi’s only previous encounter with Portuguese opposition, a 2002/03 UEFA Cup first round tie with Boavista FC, produced a 1-0 first-leg win in their home game, which was staged in Sofia. They went down 4-1 away.

Match facts

Porto have lost just one of their last 13 Champions League games (W8 D4).

In contrast, Maccabi Tel Aviv have won one of their nine games in the Champions League (D1 L7) and are yet to win away in the competition (L5).

Tel Aviv are one of two teams, along with Shakhtar Donetsk, yet to score in this season’s competition.

Porto have scored in each of their last 13 Champions League games.

Maccabi Tel Aviv have never kept a clean sheet in the Champions League group stages (9 games).

Yacine Brahimi (Porto) has completed the most dribbles of anyone so far in this current Champions League season (26).

Maccabi Tel Aviv have managed to register just three shots on target in the Champions League this season; half the number of Shakhtar Donetsk, who are placed directly above them on this list.

Porto have scored three headed goals across their opening three group games; a competition high.

Team news

Maccabi’s Nosakhare Igiebor has missed the last seven fixtures with a knee injury and might require surgery. Dejan Radonjic (back) has also not featured since matchday one. Right-back Eli Dasa (hamstring) is still out.

As for the Porto, Yacine Brahimi sustained a hamstring injury against Braga and is expected to miss the trip to Israel. André Silva (out since 20 September, ankle) made his comeback for Porto’s B side on 21 October.

Predicted line-ups

Maccabi Tel-Aviv: Rajkovic; Shpungin, Tibi, Ben Haim I, Rikan; Alberman, Igiebor, Mitrovic; Ben Haim II, Vermouth, Zahavi.

Porto: Casillas; Maxi Pereira, Marcano, Martins Indi, Layun; Danilo, Ruben Neves, Andre Andre, Imbula, Corona; Aboubakar.

Chelsea vs Dynamo Kyiv Live Stream, Watch UEFA Champions League

Chelsea continue their battle in the UEFA Champions League as they host Dynamo Kyiv at Stamford Bridge in the Group G match-up.

The match is on November 4, 2015 at 2:45 PM ET.

As for the current standings, Porto lead Group G with seven points after three matches, while Dynamo Kyiv are only two points behind.

Chelsea are third with four points and Maccabi Tel Aviv are yet to secure a point in the competition so far.

With only the top two teams moving on to the knockout stages of the competition, this clash between Chelsea and Dynamo Kyiv will go a long way in determining where the two teams are headed.

Chelsea opened up the competition with an impressive 4-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv at home.

Unfortunately, they lost to Porto in their second match of the campaign and failed to get a victory against Dynamo when the Blues played the away match.

This time, they are going to try and salvage a forgettable season so far across all competitions and a win in the UCL should help them ease some of the tension.

Chelsea are in turmoil at the moment, not only in the European competition, but also in their domestic league. They are currently 15th in the English Premier League and have fallen from grace since capturing the title a season earlier.

On the other hand, Dynamo Kyiv have yet to lose in the competition as they beat Maccabi Tel Aviv and have drawn against Porto and Chelsea.

Those two draws came at home and the bigger challenge will be getting points away from home against their European rivals, but Dynamo's timing to travel to Stamford Bridge is excellent as their opponents are in a downward spiral.

However, they should not rest on that fact as Chelsea are still a very capable team and a great performance should help them in the long run.

Olympiakos vs Dinamo Zagreb Live Stream TV Info

The Greeks have been unbeatable so far in the Super League, while their opponents have won just twice in their last seven games and need a boost of confidence

An upbeat Marco Silva believes his in-form Olympiacos side are ready for their meeting with Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Greek giants continued their impressive Super League form with a 2-0 victory at Veria as they made it nine wins from as many games in their domestic league campaign.

Silva's men are eight points clear at the top, have scored 26 goals and conceded just four. They take on the Croatian side on the back of a nine-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

Olympiacos' only defeat this season has come at the hands of Group F leaders Bayern Munich, making it the Greek team's best start to a campaign since 1979.

With Bayern (six points) and Arsenal (three) doing battle on matchday four, Olympiacos (six) can take a huge step towards the knockout stages with a win at the Karaiskakis Stadium.

Silva has been proud of his side's start to the campaign and said his players are ready to extend it.

"It is an important element for us. It's a sign that we are doing a good job. Players work to achieve very good results," he said after the win over Veria.

"But we know it will not last forever. Our team must be ready to come back for subsequent victories. We are prepared for battle.

"I want to add … that it is not easy [for] a group to achieve victories continuously. Although it is difficult to achieve, I want to congratulate our players."

While Olympiacos are in form, Dinamo have dropped off.

Zoran Mamic's side have just two wins from their past seven outings in all competitions and are bottom of Group F.

Despite slipping to third in the Croatian top flight, Mamic has refused to use the demands of playing in Europe as an excuse.

"I do not think that we are paying for playing in the Champions League," he said.

"We have enough players ... and of course we are missing a lot with [Leonardo] Sigali and [Arijan] Ademi that are very important players. Obviously those who are here must give more."

Veteran midfielder Esteban Cambiasso (calf) is sidelined for Olympiacos, who claimed a 1-0 win when the teams met in Croatia on October 20.

Dinamo have a poor record against Greek sides, losing six of nine previous matches.

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Live Stream, TV Info

Bayern Munich and Arsenal meet for the second time in two weeks on Wednesday as the Champions League contenders look to take the next step towards qualification for the knockout stage.

The Bavarians handily won their first two Group F matches against Olympiakos and Dinamo Zagreb, while the Gunners were defeated by the same opposition.

In round three, however, Arsene Wenger outfoxed Pep Guardiola and his team in a 2-0 win at the Emirates. The result left Bayern level with Olympiakos on six points, with Arsenal and Zagreb both trailing by three.

Written off as certain for a group-stage exit after the first two rounds, Arsenal now have a chance to go level on points with group favorites Bayern.

Ahead of the match, center-back Per Mertesacker urged his side to be cautious against a wounded Bayern side that will be keen to make up their previous disappointment.

"[Bayern] will be angry," Mertesacker said, per James Candy of the Independent. "We showed we can beat them, that’s a good sign, but it will be a different game at their place."

Bayern midfielder Arturo Vidal was bullish ahead of Wednesday's encounter, vowing to Bild (via Stephan Uersfeld of ESPN), "We will score from our chances this time, and keep the three points.

"On Wednesday, we'll show Arsenal the real FC Bayern."

Date: Wednesday, 4 November

Time: 7:45 p.m. GMT / 2:45 p.m. EST / 8:45 p.m. local time

Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich

Predicted Lineups

Bayern Munich

At his pre-match press conference on Tuesday (via Spox, in German), Guardiola revealed that only Jan Kirchhoff and Franck Ribery will be missing. Otherwise, he should have a full squad to choose from.

The trainer will have to select between the options of using more attackers or midfielders, with one of Vidal, Xabi Alonso, Thiago Alcantara, Arjen Robben, Thomas Muller and Douglas Costa on the bench.

Possible Bayern starting XI: Neuer; Lahm, Martinez, Boateng, Alaba; Vidal, Alonso; Robben, Muller, Costa; Lewandowski.

Arsenal

Wenger's men are in the midst of an injury crisis, with Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott all out for the next few weeks. Adding to the injury woes, Hector Bellerin has been ruled out, with Wenger telling reporters Mathieu Debuchy "will play."

The Gunners manager will have to change his tactical approach from that he used against Bayern two weeks ago, with the Telegraph's Jeremy Wilson reporting that Kieran Gibbs is likely to start on the left wing and Alexis Sanchez on the right ahead of the less experienced Joel Campbell.

Possible Arsenal starting XI: Cech; Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Cazorla, Coquelin; Alexis, Ozil, Gibbs; Giroud.

Players to Watch

Bayern have a wide range of attacking options, each with his own particular skill set and strengths. Robben, Muller, Costa, Robert Lewandowski and Kingsley Coman have performed well in the Bundesliga as of late, and the synergy of whichever front three or four Guardiola decides on will be critical.

For Arsenal, the two biggest threats are Mesut Ozil and Alexis, upon whom the Gunners will rely to provide the necessary spark in attack. At the same time, how Gibbs fares in an advanced role and how Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny do against Lewandowski could also be very important to the result.

Arturo Vidal vs. Mesut Ozil

In the first leg, Ozil proved heroic for the Gunners, pulling the strings in midfield as Alexis struggled to make his way on the wing. The Germany international put the result out of reach at the death, but was hugely influential beforehand. His form on the night could make all the difference in Wednesday's clash.

Vidal will likely be Bayern's defender most dedicated to marking Ozil, as other options like Alonso and Thiago will be more concerned with distributing the ball. The Chilean has great attacking quality as well, but will need to balance that skill with his defensive responsibilities.

Douglas Costa vs. Mathieu Debuchy

Bellerin vs. Costa was an epic head-to-head encounter in the first leg, with the Brazilian humiliating his opponent with a clever dribble move in the first half before the Spaniard set up Ozil for Arsenal's late second. On Wednesday, fans will not be able to see the two square off again due to Bellerin's injury. Instead, Debuchy will be the man Arsenal will rely upon to keep Costa quiet.

Costa has had a great season thus far, and in all likelihood, Bayern's attacking moves will primarily run through him. Debuchy will have to be on top of his game on Wednesday if he is to step well into Bellerin's boots.

Roma vs Bayer Leverkusen Live TV and Kick-off time

These teams tied 4-4 in their most recent game against each other. AS Roma has yet to win a game in this group stage (0W, 2D, 1L).

After an epic game in Germany, AS Roma and Bayer Leverkusen will now meet in Italy aiming to start the second round of the group stage with a win in the Italian capital. The race in Group E is really tight with AS Roma being only two points behind Bayer (4) which is in second place.

For Roma, playing at home does not guarantee they will get a win. Playing at their own Olympic Stadium has only worked in their favor in one of the last eight games there when it comes to UEFA related competitions. That included a 1-7 loss against Bayern Munich in the 2014-2015 Group Stage. 

Roma really needs the win now 

"The @ChampionsLeague is a mini season. There's everything to play for now, but we need three points tomorrow."

They do however, have a positive record against teams from Germany. In the last 12 games, Roma has won seven times, lost four and drawn once. It will be important for AS Roma to make good use of their own ground, as they will come back two games from now to close the group stage round against FC Bate.

Right now, those two teams have the worst defense of the group. They have both received eight goals in three games. AS Roma was able to score seven times in the same amount of games and that goal differential can be crucial at the end of the round to decide who makes it to the Round of 16. 

The teams learned from each other in their most recent game.

Bayer Leverkusen scored nine goals and received seven in the first round of the group stage. In their only game away from home, they lost 2-1 against Barcelona in a game they had control off for the most part but then Luis Suarez saved the day for the Catalan side. 

The team's only win in the first round came against BATE in their opening game. Then they were really close to losing against the Italian side but two late strikes from Kevin Kampl and Admir Mehmedi were what gave them the possibility to tie the game in its last ten minutes.

Bayer had started the game with a 2-0 lead from Javier Hernandez' brace. Then, the team seemed to fall apart as AS Roma not only tied the game but got two goals ahead. Finally, Bayer avoided the disaster with the two goals mentioned earlier.

Hakan: "People think our coach's playing style is a bit too attack-minded and reckless, but we achieve a lot.

These teams have only met in UEFA Champions League group stage games and they have done so three times. Bayer has one this clash once while the other two games recorded ended in a draw. A win from Roma this time could launch them from fourth place to second in the group, if there are no surprises in the Barcelona vs BATE game. 

The German side knows what they want from Wednesday's game. Leno: "The match schedule is clear: we play tomorrow to win!"

There are no suspended players for this match, but there is a long list of them in the injury list. For the visiting side, Capradossi, Totti, Hilbert, Jedvah and Ryu are out. For the home team De Rossi, Keita and Bender will not be available.
