It’s becoming a four day weekend in world soccer. While it’s been years since a handful of leagues started utilizing Friday nights to bring attention to their leagues, now the world’s biggest leagues are bringing a Monday Night Football aspect to their fixture lists. England and Spain have regular matches on Monday, complementing a number of overlooked leagues who habitually do the same.
Matches For The Last Day Of The World Soccer Weekend
Some of these games will have already started by the time this post hits the interwebs, but here’s a reminder - Monday is the last day of the world’s soccer weekend:
Chile: Universidad de Chile could leap Universidad Catholica, who won 2-0 on Friday, with a win at Santiago Morning. Relegation-embattled Santiago Morning, that is.
Denmark: New Armenian international Yura Movsisyan and Randers are at Midtjylland. Movsisyan has scored as I type.
Egypt: Zamalek, off to an uncharacteristically even-keel start, hosts El Gounah, a match that should allow the White Knights to get right their season’s start.
England: Aston Villa’s 6-0 loss at Newcastle casts a shadow over their season’s first month, but with a win at Stoke today, they would jump into third place.
Israel: Maccabi Haifa looks to continue their perfect start, travelling to Hapoel Be’er Sheva for their season’s third match. A win will put them atop the league, joining Hapoel Haifa.
Portugal: Vitoria Setuval hops Beira-Mar in a rather uninspiring match. Both clubs come into the game with 1-1-1 records.
Qatar: The Qatari Stars league has started, with Al Arabi’s match against Umm Salal highlighting today’s two-match set. The rest of the league will open their season between now and Wednesday.
Romania: Two slow starters - Panduri Targu KJiu and Universitatea Craviova - are playing in Pitseti, with Pandurii having already scored twice in the first 23 minutes.
Spain: Almeria, a likely relegation battler, hosts Real Sociedad, last year’s champions in the Segunda.
Sweden: IFK Góteborg has a goal from Hannes Stiller, putting themselves up 1-0 over GAIS. Kalmer is also hosting Brommapojharna.
Turkey: Trabzonspor has a change to jump into second place, should they take care of business against visiting Sivasspor.
