Palmeiras (BRA), as one of the continent's strongest clubs (Libertadores winners 2020 and 2021), hosts LDU Quito in the first leg on September 9 in São Paulo (Nubank Parque). The second leg takes place on September 16 at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado in Quito (altitude ~2,800m above sea level) — a classic disadvantage for Brazilian clubs. LDU are renowned for their altitude home strength. On balance, Palmeiras is the aggregate favourite due to squad depth and international experience. Copa specialist markets imply Palmeiras' semi-final participation at approximately 62%.

BVB sits 2nd in the Bundesliga after 8 matchdays (18 pts) with the best defence in the league (6 goals conceded). Bookmaker odds for a Dortmund home win imply ~79% (quote ~1.26); statistical models put BVB at 74.96%. Expected Goals: BVB 2.47 xG vs. Elversberg 0.81 xG.

RB Leipzig defeats FC Augsburg — Bundesliga Matchday 9 (Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, 7 November 2026, confirmed via bundesliga.com or DFL by 7 November 2026, 18:00 CET)

RB Leipzig have never lost a Bundesliga home fixture against FC Augsburg (10 games: 9 wins, 1 draw). Augsburg are currently on a 6-match winless run (3 draws, 3 losses) — the longest such drought in the top flight right now. Winger Antonio Nusa is in excellent form; a Leipzig win would set a Bundesliga record against Augsburg. Bookmaker odds imply ~60% (quote ~1.65); the unblemished home record and Augsburg's poor form justify raising the estimate to 65%.
