Before the international break, Juventus was surging up the Serie A ladder to re-enter the crowded title race and now the Bianconeri gets to resume the campaign with a six-pointer against Inter Milan on Sunday.
The last time they met, Inter Milan took the spoils in the Supercoppa Italia but it had to be settled in extra time. For the moment, the two clubs sit in third and fourth place respectively, and neither can afford to take a loss with AC Milan and Napoli both in favorable matchups.
Like Juventus, Barcelona has also reclaimed some credibility after a lackluster open to the campaign. On Saturday, Xavi’s course correction job could place Barcelona in second place in the Spanish ranks if it can beat Sevilla. Historically, you would like Barcelona in the matchup, but Sevilla leads La Liga with the fewest losses (two) and will not fear the hosts one bit.
Tyler Adams was impressed over the international break with the U.S. men’s national team and will now shift his focus back to helping RB Leipzig secure its place in the German Champions League picture. A tough test awaits on Saturday when Domenico Tedesco’s side travels to second-place Borussia Dortmund.
Apart from live games, you will probably want to keep an eye on Friday afternoon’s FIFA World Cup Draw as well.

Here are the Top 5 Matches to Watch, and a full rundown of This Weekend’s Soccer on TV and Online:
This Weekend’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
- Juventus vs Inter Milan – Both teams can ill afford to miss a chance at three points, especially with the Serie A season winding down.
- Barcelona vs Sevilla – Second place in the La Liga standings is on the line.
- Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig – Leipzig is looking to lock up a UCL spot and is tied with Freiburg for fourth at the moment. Can it upset Dortmund coming off the break?
- Portland Timbers vs LA Galaxy – You would figure both of these two end up in the Western Conference playoff field, but neither has been as strong as believed coming out of the gate. Who will want this one more?
- West Ham United vs Everton – Everton remains too close to England’s drop zone for comfort and does not find itself to be the favorite in many matchups looking ahead.
