UEFA Champions League group stage headline This Week’s Soccer on TV and Online
It is offically crunch time for several name brand teams as the UEFA Champions League group stage comes to a close.
Tottenham heads into the week on top of Group D but can still crash out as its lead is slim. Olympique Marseille is bottom of the group, trailing by only two points, and comes into Tuesday’s head-to-head contest even on goal differential.
In other words – this is a must win for Tottenham, and that isn’t a good thing if you look at the last couple of weeks. Spurs needed a comeback effort to pick up all three points on Saturday in league play against AFC Bournemouth. Tottenham did beat Marsaille in the reverse fixture, but wasn’t able to break the deadlock until a second-half red card changed the complexion of the match.
Defending Serie A champs Milan are also at risk and have to square off with a worthy foe, Red Bull Salzburg, on Wednesday.
In their first matchup, they split the points in a 1-1 tie. Both have marched on in dominance in their respective league campaigns, so you’d like to give the edge to Milan based on strength of opponent, but hasn’t earned a marquee win (Juventus does not currently qualify as one) since taking the Milan Derby on Spetember 3.
The other Red Bull giant, Leipzig, takes on Ukranian side Shakhtar Donetsk in a win-or-get dropped match on Wednesday. Donetsk stunned the world in with a 4-1 win in Leipzig last month and remains at large to be a dark horse to make some noise in the knockouts should it pass this weekday test.
Among the giants who can not be rewarded, Juventus and Barcelona are going to have to suffer through their weekday matchups, hoping to reclaim some confidence, before dropping down to the Europa League in the next round.

Here is a look at This Week’s Top 5 Matches to Watch, as well as a full rundown of This Week’s Soccer on TV and Online:
This Week’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
- Olympique Marseille vs Tottenham Hotspur – The highest profile game of the week where the points will matter.
- Milan vs Salzburg – The knowckout round will not have room for the defending Italian or Austrian champions.
- Shakhtar Donetsk vs RB Leipzig – Can Donersk make easy work of Leipig once agian?
- Liverpool vs Napoli – Points will not matter in this one, but the pure starpower cannot be overlooked. Napoli just might be the best team in the world right now, and it’s a good time to play weekend loser Liverpool.
- Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan – Same sentement as above. The stars should be out and this is a matchup worthy of the final.
