Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) vs Strasbourg

Open up your football weekend with some Ligue 1 action as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Strasbourg are set to square off in a top-of-the-table battle on Saturday, 18 October, at 12:15 A.M. Indian Standard Time (IST).

Before matchweek 8 of the Ligue 1 2025-2026 season, PSG is currently leading the points table with 16 points from 5 wins, 1 draw and a loss that came against one of the title rivals, Marseille.

Strasbourg, owned by the owners of the Chelsea Football Club, have done a lot of work over the summer, and as a result, they are currently placed 3rd in the league table with 15 points from 5 wins and 2 losses. A win for Strasbourg this weekend could very well see them take the top of the table position.

Unfortunately, there is no official live streaming partner available for the PSG vs Strasbourg Ligue 1 match in India.

Manchester City vs Everton

Several top football matches are lined up on October 18 in the Premier League, but probably the most exciting to watch will be the Manchester City vs Everton Football Club match. The game will kick off at 7:30 P.M. Indian Standard Time (IST).

Pep Guardiola’s Man City is one of the title contenders, but due to their inconsistent performance this season, they are currently placed 5th in the league table with 4 wins, 2 losses and a draw.

Meanwhile, Everton FC have had a good start to the season under David Moyes. After finishing the 2nd half of the points table last season, they are currently placed 8th with 3 wins and 2 losses and as many draws. They are only 2 points behind Man City with 11 points on the board.

Man City’s Erling Haaland has simply been in outstanding form this season, scoring 9 goals in 7 starts. Meanwhile, Manchester City loanee Jack Grealish has been Everton’s best player this season. However, he won’t be able to play this match against his parent club.

The Manchester City vs Everton FC match will be telecast live on the Star Sports Network, and live streaming will be on JioHotstar in India.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund (Der Klassiker)

Moving on from English football to German football. And it’s one of the biggest matches of the season as Germany’s two best clubs, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, collide in the Der Klassiker 2025-2026 season.

The dominance of the two giants of Germany can be determined by the fact that these two clubs have won 27 of the last 32 Bundesliga titles as of the 2024-2025 season.

Before matchweek 7, Bayern Munich sits atop the Bundesliga league table. They are currently undefeated with 6 wins in as many matches, accumulating 18 points. As for Borussia Dortmund, they are right behind their rivals with 14 points from 4 wins and 2 draws this season and are also currently undefeated.

For Bayern Munich, Harry Kane has been in lethal form, already netting 11 goals in the league this season. The latest arrival from Liverpool FC, Luis Diaz, has also been in fine form, scoring 5 goals already in his first 6 starts.

As for Dortmund, there will be keen eyes towards the duo of Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi. The former has scored 4 goals, while the young forward has scored 2.

When these two teams face off, there is always an intense rivalry on the pitch, and expect nothing less this time. You can tune in for this match on Sony Sports Network TV channels, and the live streaming will be on the Sony LIV app and website.

AS Roma vs Inter Milan

Football action on Sunday, October 19, kicks off with a big clash in Italy. AS Roma is set to host Inter Milan from 12:15 A.M. IST.

At the early phase of the season, the Serie A league table is currently tightly contested. Roma sits 2nd in the points table with 5 wins from 6 matches and a defeat, just behind league leaders Napoli. As for Inter, they are 4th with 4 wins, 2 losses and 3 points behind Roma with 12 points on board.

22-year-old Matias Soule has been Roma’s best attacker this season, netting 3 goals so far. As for Inter, while Lautaro Martinez has scored 3 goals, the goals have been perfectly spread among other Inter players, with Marcus Thuram also netting 3, and Dimarco, Bonny, Calhanoglu, and Kamaldeen Sulemana all scoring 2 goals each.

There are 3 key points up for grabs in this match. While Roma will look to mount a challenge to the league leaders with a win, Inter Milan would want to close the gap to Roma and Napoli with a win instead.

There won’t be any live telecast of the match available in India, as there is no official broadcaster in the country. However, you can watch the live streaming through the DAZN website in India.

Juventus vs Como

From one Serie A match to another. This time, Juventus takes on Como. Juventus was once a giant of Italian football but has recently seen a slump in form. The Old Lady has not been able to challenge the likes of the Milan clubs, Napoli and even Atalanta have been a better side.

As for Como, under Cesc Fabregas, Como has risen from Serie B and has established itself as a mid-table team through some beautiful football.

Como’s aim remains to one day become the greatest club in Italian football, and for them to reach the same height, they are definitely going to have to learn how to overcome the challenge from the likes of Juventus when they face off on Sunday, October 19, at 4 P.M. IST.

Juventus is currently 5th in the Serie A league table with 3 wins and as many draws. As for Como, the Fabregas-coached side is 8th with 9 points from 2 wins, 3 draws and one loss this season so far.

Turkish midfielder Kenan Yildiz has caught the eyes of many with his performance so far this year. He has scored 1 goal and 3 assists so far. And for Como, former Real Madrid youngster Nico Paz has been their best player by a mile. He has 3 goals and as many assists so far this season.

This is going to be a clash to watch out for as a Serie A’s once-giant faces off against a team that wants to be a giant. You can watch this match live streaming on the DAZN website, as there won’t be any telecast in India.

Liverpool vs Manchester United

This weekend’s biggest match is going to be in the Premier League as reigning champions Liverpool FC take on Manchester United on Sunday, October 19, at the Anfield ground from 9 p.m. Indian Standard Time.

Liverpool and United are two of the most successful clubs in England. Both sides have won a maximum of 20 first division titles as of the 2024-2025 season. Last season Liverpool won the league, while Manchester United finished down at 15th place in the Premier League points table.

Both clubs over the summer improved their squad throughout the transfer window. After 7 matches played, Liverpool is currently placed second in the points table, while Manchester United is 10th. The former has won 5 matches and lost 2, while United have 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.

Despite 5 wins this season, Liverpool haven’t really looked commanding, as in some matches they have barely scraped through victories and come into this match on the back of inconsistent form. As for Manchester United, they haven’t looked much improved from last season. Players continue to deliver inconsistent performance while the manager, Ruben Amorim, is still insecure in his place.

So watch out for football’s one of the biggest rivalry this weekend as Liverpool FC take on Manchester United. Watch his high-stakes match on Star Sports Network TV channels, and the live streaming will be on the JioHotstar app and website.
