Champions League Preview: October 14 Fixtures

Manchester City finds itself in the spotlight after a financial regulations breach verdict, yet their upcoming match against Paris Saint-Germain remains a key event. Meanwhile, Liverpool and Real Madrid have challenging away games that could shape their campaigns.

• Stadium: De Kuip
• Date: Wednesday, Oct. 14
• Kick-off Time: 5:45 p.m. BST / 12:45 p.m. ET / 9:45 a.m. PT
• Referee: Donatas Rumšas (LTU)

Como stunned many with a 4–1 win over RB Leipzig on their Champions League debut. Their key players, including Nico Paz and Martin Baturina, impressed. Now they travel to face Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord, unbeaten domestically so far this season. Despite Feyenoord’s strong home form and recovery from a heavy loss to Barcelona, Como’s attack might be the deciding factor in this tight contest.

LASK vs. Liverpool

• Location: Linz, Austria
• Stadium: Raiffeisen Arena
• Date: Wednesday, Oct. 14

• Referee: Tobias Stieler (GER)

Liverpool had a tough return from international break, losing 3–0 at home to Manchester City after a red card turned the tide. LASK, beaten twice by Liverpool in Europa League recently, come off four matches without a win and a narrow European loss. This should offer Liverpool a chance to bounce back and regain confidence.

• Location: Birmingham, England
• Stadium: Villa Park
• Date: Wednesday, Oct. 14
• Kick-off Time: 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT

Aston Villa, recovering from a summer of upheaval, has found some rhythm, scoring regularly and winning three of their last five. After beating Club Brugge convincingly, they host Fenerbahçe, who possess experienced stars like Ederson and Romelu Lukaku. Still, Villa seem likely to secure victory.

Bodø/Glimt vs. Borussia Dortmund

• Stadium: Aspmyra Stadion
• Date: Wednesday, Oct. 14
• Kick-off Time: 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT
• Referee: Urs Schnyder (SUI)

Bodø/Glimt have been a tough challenge for European giants in recent years, including wins over Manchester City and Atlético Madrid. Borussia Dortmund, fresh from a 3–2 win against Villarreal and unbeaten since their Supercup loss, should avoid defeat but may settle for a draw in the difficult Arctic setting.

Manchester City vs. Paris Saint-Germain

• Location: Manchester, England
• Stadium: Etihad Stadium
• Date: Wednesday, Oct. 14
• Kick-off Time: 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT
• Referee: Sven Jablonski (GER)

Despite recent controversy, Manchester City showed strength with a weekend win at Anfield. The clash with reigning champions PSG will test them as Luis Enrique’s team gains momentum after a 6–1 win over Slovan Bratislava and successive domestic victories. Past meetings show City winning home games, but PSG’s star power makes this a thrilling encounter likely ending in a draw.

Real Betis vs. Porto

• Referee: Clément Turpin (FRA)

Returning to Europe’s premier competition after two decades, Real Betis opened with a thrilling 3–2 win over Lille. Hosting Porto, who have bounced back with four straight wins, Betis aim to maintain their strong form boosted by passionate home fans. Expect a tightly contested game with Betis edging it.

• Stadium: Stadio Olimpico
• Date: Wednesday, Oct. 14
• Kick-off Time: 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT
• Referee: François Letexier (FRA)

José Mourinho faces his old club Roma in a match that promises drama. Roma remain undefeated this season under Gian Piero Gasperini, but Real Madrid, led by stars like Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, should claim victory despite the tough trip.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs. AEK Athens

• Location: London, England
• Stadium: Stamford Bridge
• Date: Wednesday, Oct. 14
• Kick-off Time: 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT
• Referee: Chris Kavanagh (ENG)

Due to the conflict in Ukraine, Shakhtar play 'home' matches in London. After drawing against PSV Eindhoven, they seek their first win here. AEK Athens, winners over LASK in their opener, remain modest contenders unlikely to cause an upset.

Slovan Bratislava vs. Stuttgart
