<h2>Match Preview: What’s at stake?</h2>



<p>Porto and Napoli meet on <strong>Matchday 4 of the 2026-27 UEFA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> league phase</strong> with very different levels of pressure. Porto are 34th in the standings with zero points after three matches, while Napoli are 22nd with three points. </p>



<p>The Portuguese side desperately need their first victory to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout phase alive, while the Italian club are looking to move closer to the playoff positions.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/porto">Porto</a></strong> have endured a difficult start to their European campaign. <strong>Francesco Farioli</strong>‘s team lost 2-0 against Manchester City in their opening match, suffered a 3-2 defeat away to Real Betis and most recently fell 1-0 at home to PSV Eindhoven. </p>



<p>They have scored just two goals and conceded six, leaving little room for further mistakes. Playing at the Estadio do Dragao could be an important advantage as they attempt to turn their European season around.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/napoli">Napoli</a></strong>, meanwhile, have collected their first three points after beating Bodo/Glimt 4-3 in an entertaining Matchday 3 encounter. <strong>Antonio Conte</strong>‘s team previously lost 1-0 to Arsenal and 3-1 against Villarreal, meaning their victory over the Norwegian side was particularly important. </p>



<p>With three points, another positive result in Portugal could help them climb the standings and improve their chances of reaching at least the knockout-phase playoffs.</p>



<h2>Porto vs Napoli: Predicted Lineups</h2>



<p><strong>Porto</strong> (4-3-3): Diogo Costa; Zaidu Sanusi, Jakub Kiwior, Jan Bednarek, Alberto Baio; Gabri Veiga, Pablo Rosario, Victor Froholdt; Borja Sainz, Samu Omorodion, Pepe.</p>



<p><strong>Napoli </strong>(3-4-3): Alex Meret; Rafa Marin, Amir Rrahmani, Sam Beukema; Antonio Vergara, Billy Gilmour, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Scott McTominay; Noa Lang, Lorenzo Lucca, Matteo Politano.</p>



<h2>What time is the Porto vs Napoli match?</h2>

          <title>Why isn’t Arda Guler playing today, Nov. 4, for Real Madrid vs AEK Athens?</title>
          <link><![CDATA[https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-isnt-arda-guler-playing-today-nov-4-for-real-madrid-vs-aek-athens]]></link>
          <pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2026 10:45:00 -0500</pubDate>
          <description><![CDATA[Real Madrid will face AEK Athens in a Champions League clash without one of their key creative midfielders. Arda Guler's absence raises questions about Jose Mourinho's plans for the November 4 matchup. 
<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arda-guler">Arda Guler</a> will not play for Real Madrid</strong> against AEK Athens on Wednesday, November 4, because manager <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jose-mourinho">Jose Mourinho</a> has left him out of the squad to manage his workload and <strong>give him a rest</strong>.</p>



<p>The Turkish midfielder is not traveling to Greece for the <strong>UEFA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> Matchday 4 fixture</strong>, alongside fellow midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who has also been given time off. He also reportedly clarified that he is not injured.</p>



<p>His absence comes after he featured in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>‘s 2-0 LaLiga victory over Racing Santander on Sunday, November 1, providing an assist. The decision appears to be precautionary rather than a confirmed new injury.</p>



<h2>When will Arda Guler return to action for Real Madrid?</h2>



<p>Arda Guler could return to Real Madrid’s squad for the <strong>LaLiga match against Valencia on Saturday, November 7</strong>, following his absence from the Champions League trip to face <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aek-athens">AEK Athens</a>. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/04041848/Arda-Guler-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-725876"><figcaption>Arda Guler of Real Madrid (Source: Diego Souto/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>His omission is reportedly related to workload management</strong> rather than a confirmed injury, so there is no indication that he faces an extended spell on the sidelines. </p>



<p>The decision also affects <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aurelien-tchouameni">Aurelien Tchouameni</a></strong>, who was left in Madrid for similar reasons. Both midfielders are expected to benefit from the additional recovery time as Real Madrid navigate a demanding schedule.</p>



<p>However, Real Madrid have not announced a specific return date for Guler. His availability against Valencia will depend on his physical condition and Mourinho’s assessment ahead of the next league fixture.</p>



<h2>Who will replace Arda Guler in Real Madrid’s lineup?</h2>



<p><strong>Yan Diomande</strong> will take the right-sided attacking position in the starting lineup against AEK Athens, while <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jude-bellingham">Jude Bellingham</a></strong> will operate centrally behind <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a></strong>. The coach has made several changes to his midfield and attack.</p>



<p><strong>Bernardo Silva</strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/federico-valverde">Federico Valverde</a></strong> are forming the deeper midfield partnership. The confirmed lineup shows that Guler will not be replaced by a single player in exactly the same role.</p>



<p>Instead, Mourinho has opted for a different attacking setup: <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-jr">Vinicius Junior</a></strong> will start on the left, Bellingham will occupy the central attacking position, and Diomande will provide width on the right.</p>



<p>Diomande’s inclusion is particularly notable because pregame projections had suggested that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brahim-diaz">Brahim Diaz</a></strong> could start on the right. However, the confirmed XI gives the 19-year-old the opportunity to feature from the beginning.</p>



<h2>Key takeaways</h2>



<ul><li><strong>Arda Guler was rested</strong> by Jose Mourinho for Real Madrid’s match against AEK Athens.</li><li><strong>Aurelien Tchouameni </strong>also remained in Madrid to manage workload ahead of upcoming fixtures.</li><li><strong>Yan Diomande will start</strong> in the right-sided attacking role for Real Madrid.</li></ul>

<h2>How to watch Fenerbahce vs. Liverpool in the USA</h2>



<p>The Champions League match between Fenerbahce and Liverpool will be available to stream live in the United States on <strong><a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/3119684/1007317/3065" rel="sponsored nofollow">Paramount+</a></strong> and <strong>ViX</strong>.</p>



<h2>Can I watch Fenerbahce vs. Liverpool for free?</h2>



<p>There is currently <strong>no confirmed free legal stream</strong> of the full Fenerbahce vs. Liverpool match in the United States. <a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/3119684/1007317/3065" rel="sponsored nofollow">Paramount+</a> is the confirmed broadcaster, and its regular direct subscription does not advertise a standard free-trial offer.</p>



<h2>Match Preview: What’s at stake?</h2>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liverpool">Liverpool</a></strong> arrive in Istanbul with a perfect record in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> league phase</strong>. The Reds have won their first three matches, defeating Atletico Madrid 2-1, LASK 6-3 and Villarreal 4-3. Their nine points put them among the leading teams in the standings, and a fourth consecutive victory would strengthen their position in the race for a direct place in the Round of 16.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/04044126/liverpool-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-725883"><figcaption>Jeremy Jacquet of Liverpool during the Premier League 2026/27 match (Source: Carl Recine/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fenerbahce">Fenerbahce</a></strong>, on the other hand, are still searching for their first win in the competition. The Turkish side opened with a 1-1 draw against Roma, suffered a 6-0 defeat to Aston Villa and then drew 2-2 with Slavia Praha. With just two points from three games, they need a strong performance at home to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout rounds alive.</p>



<p>The game also carries a personal storyline for Fenerbahce interim coach <strong>Dirk Kuyt</strong>, who previously played for Liverpool. He took charge of the Turkish club recently and will face his former team while trying to turn around a difficult run of results. Fenerbahce have lost their last two domestic matches, against Galatasaray and Goztepe, adding pressure ahead of this European test.</p>



<h2>Fenerbahce vs. Liverpool: Predicted Lineups</h2>



<p><strong>Fenerbahce</strong> (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Levent Mercan, Archie Brown, Milan Skriniar, Mert Muldur; N’Golo Kante, Matteo Guendouzi; Oguz Aydin, Mason Greenwood, Irfan Can Kahveci; Romelu Lukaku.</p>

<h2>What time is the Fenerbahce vs. Liverpool match?</h2>

<h2>Match Preview: What’s at stake?</h2>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a></strong> travel to Greece looking to extend their perfect start to the 2026-27 <strong>UEFA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a></strong> campaign. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jose-mourinho">Jose Mourinho</a></strong>‘s team have collected nine points from their first three matches, putting them fourth in the overall league-phase standings. </p>



<p>Their European victories include a 2-1 result against Inter, a 4-3 away win over Roma and a 4-1 triumph against RB Leipzig. Another victory would strengthen their position among the leading teams competing for direct qualification to the round of 16.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/04040517/real-madrid-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-725871"><figcaption>Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid (Source: Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aek-athens">AEK Athens</a></strong>, meanwhile, have experienced a more complicated European campaign. <strong>Marko Nikolic</strong>‘s team opened their league-phase schedule with a 1-0 victory against LASK, but subsequently suffered defeats against Shakhtar Donetsk (3-1) and Manchester City (5-1). </p>



<p>They enter Matchday 4 with three points and sit 29th in the standings, making the home fixture against one of Europe’s most successful clubs an important opportunity to get their campaign back on track.</p>



<p>The historical record offers AEK some encouragement. <strong>The clubs have met four times in European competition</strong>, with one victory apiece and two draws. Their previous Champions League encounters came during the 2002-03 group stage, when they drew 3-3 in Athens and 2-2 in Madrid. </p>



<p>AEK have therefore never lost a home match against Los Blancos, although repeating that achievement against the current Madrid squad will be a major challenge.</p>



<h2>AEK Athens vs Real Madrid: Predicted Lineups</h2>



<p><strong>AEK Athens</strong> (4-4-2): Alberto Brignoli; Stavros Pilios, Filipe Relvas, Harold Moukoudi, Lazaros Rota; Oleksandr Zubkov, Razvan Marin, Kervin Arriaga, Lovro Majer; Luka Jovic, Barnabas Varga.</p>



<p><strong>Real Madrid</strong> (4-2-3-1): Thibaut Courtois; Alvaro Carreras, Antonio Rudiger, Dean Huijsen, Denzel Dumfries; Bernardo Silva, Federico Valverde; Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Yanick Diomande; Kylian Mbappe.</p>



<h2>What time is the AEK Athens vs Real Madrid match?</h2>



<p>The AEK Athens vs Real Madrid match kicks off on <strong>Wednesday, November 4, at 12:45 PM ET</strong> at Allwyn Arena in Nea Filadelfia, Greece. The game is part of Matchday 4 of the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League League Phase.</p>

          <title>Why isn’t Marcus Rashford playing today, Nov. 3, for Man Utd vs Roma?</title>

          <description><![CDATA[Manchester United face Roma in a crucial European clash on November 3, but Marcus Rashford's situation has become a major talking point ahead of the highly anticipated matchup. 
<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcus-rashford">Marcus Rashford</a></strong> will be unavailable when <strong>Manchester United</strong> face <strong>Roma</strong> today on Matchday 4 of the <strong>2026-27 UEFA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a></strong>, as the English forward <strong>continues his recovery from a hip injury</strong>.</p>



<p>His absence is another setback for <strong>Michael Carrick</strong>, who is preparing his team for an important European night at Old Trafford while dealing with several fitness concerns within his squad. </p>



<p><strong>Rashford has missed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united">Manchester United</a>‘s previous three matches</strong> against Como, Bournemouth and Chelsea because of the same issue. The 29-year-old was also <strong>absent from the team’s training session</strong> on Monday, November 2.</p>



<h2>When could Marcus Rashford return to action for Manchester United?</h2>



<p><strong>Marcus Rashford could return to action for Manchester United on Sunday, November 8</strong>, against Aston Villa in the Premier League, although his availability has not yet been confirmed. The forward remains under daily assessment.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/03105359/Marcus-Rashford-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-725760"><figcaption>Marcus Rashford of Manchester United during the training session (Source: Alex Livesey/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Speaking ahead of Manchester United’s Champions League meeting with Roma, Carrick provided an update on Rashford’s condition, making it clear that the club is taking a cautious approach. The manager explained:</p>



<p>“<em><strong>Marcus, we’ll just have to see, day by day, how he keeps improving</strong></em>“. His comments suggest that the medical staff will evaluate his progress before determining when he can rejoin the squad.</p>



<p>The next opportunity for Rashford to feature will come against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aston-villa">Aston Villa</a> at Old Trafford on November 8. However, his participation will depend on how quickly he recovers and whether he can return to full training with his teammates.</p>



<p>If he is unable to recover in time for the Villa fixture, <strong>their next <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league">Premier League</a> match will be against Liverpool on November 22</strong>, following the international break. That could provide additional time for him to regain full fitness.</p>



<h2>Key takeaways</h2>



<ul><li><strong>Marcus Rashford is unavailable</strong> against Roma while recovering from a hip injury.</li><li>Marcus Rashford <strong>missed three previous matches</strong> against Como, Bournemouth, and Chelsea.</li><li>Marcus Rashford<strong> could return on November 8</strong> against Aston Villa in the Premier League.</li></ul>

<h2>Match Preview: What’s at stake?</h2>



<p>Manchester United and Roma arrive at Matchday 4 in very different situations, but both need a positive result to improve their position in the <strong>2026-27 UEFA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> league phase</strong>. </p>



<p>Roma sit 15th with four points, while Manchester United are 21st with three points. The top eight qualify directly for the round of 16, while teams finishing between ninth and 24th must compete in the knockout-phase playoffs.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/02115255/Man-Utd-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-725565"><figcaption>Diogo Dalot of Manchester United during the Premier League 2026/27 match (Source: Alex Pantling/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united">Manchester United</a></strong> are under considerable pressure after a difficult European campaign. <strong>Michael Carrick</strong>‘s team opened with a 4-0 victory over Sabah but subsequently suffered consecutive defeats against Atletico Madrid (2-0) and Como (4-1). </p>



<p>Their domestic form has also been disappointing, with a nine-game winless streak across competitions heading into this fixture. A victory at Old Trafford would be an important opportunity to regain confidence and avoid falling further behind in the standings.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/roma">Roma</a></strong>, managed by <strong>Gian Piero Gasperini</strong>, have shown more encouraging signs. After drawing 1-1 against Fenerbahce and losing 4-3 to Real Madrid, the Italian side earned its first Champions League victory of the campaign with a 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava. </p>



<p>They also arrive in Manchester after a convincing 5-2 Serie A victory against Udinese. <strong>Donyell Malen</strong> has been one of their main attacking threats, already scoring three Champions League goals this season.</p>



<h2>Man Utd vs Roma: Predicted Lineups</h2>



<p><strong>Manchester United</strong> (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot; Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos; Mason Mount, Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha; Bryan Mbeumo.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/unai-emery">Unai Emery</a></strong>‘s team arrive in outstanding European form, having won all three of their opening matches against Club Brugge, Fenerbahce and Viking.

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a></strong>, meanwhile, are looking to recover from their first defeat of the league phase. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/hansi-flick">Hansi Flick</a></strong>‘s side lost 4-2 against Paris Saint-Germain on Matchday 3, ending their unbeaten European start. </p>



<p>Despite that setback, the Catalans have scored 11 goals in their first three games and remain among the tournament’s attacking threats.<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a> </strong>and <strong>Raphinha</strong> will be particularly important as Barcelona attempt to return to winning ways in front of their home supporters.</p>

<h2>Match Preview: What’s at stake?</h2>



<p>Atletico Madrid and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayern-munich">Bayern Munich</a></strong> meet with important points at stake in the fourth matchday of the <strong>2026-27 UEFA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> league phase</strong>. Both teams have ambitions of finishing among the top eight, which would guarantee direct qualification for the round of 16 and avoid the knockout-phase playoffs.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/11/02105326/atletico-madrid-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-725547"><figcaption>Giuliano Simeone of Atletico Madrid (Source: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>After three matches, Bayern sit 14th with five points, while Atletico are 16th with four points. The German side has recorded one win and two draws, while <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/diego-simeone">Diego Simeone</a></strong>‘s team has one win, one draw and one defeat. </p>



<p>A victory in Madrid would allow either club to improve its position and build momentum ahead of the remaining league-phase fixtures. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atletico-madrid">Atletico</a></strong> arrive in strong domestic form. They defeated Levante 2-0 in their most recent LaLiga outing and have put together an impressive run of results. </p>



<p>Their home advantage could be important against a Bayern side that has struggled to turn its European performances into victories, drawing its last two Champions League matches against Viking and Arsenal.</p>



<h2>Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich: Predicted Lineups</h2>



<p><strong>Atletico Madrid</strong> (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Alejandro Grimaldo, David Hancko, Marc Pubill, Marcos Llorente; Alex Baena, Pablo Barrios, Rodrigo Mendoza, Giuliano Simeone; Julian Alvarez, Lee Kang-in.</p>

          <description><![CDATA[Bayern Munich face Atletico Madrid in a crucial Champions League clash, but uncertainty surrounding Vincent Kompany's health has added an unexpected storyline to the German club's preparations. 
<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayern-munich">Bayern Munich</a></strong> head to Madrid for a challenging <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a></strong> night against Atletico Madrid, but the German giants will have to deal with an important absence on the sidelines: manager<strong> Vincent Kompany</strong>.</p>



<p>The Belgian coach’s health concerns emerged after <strong>an incident at Bayern’s training facilities in late October</strong>, when he was taken to the hospital following a collapse during a session with the reserve team.</p>



<p>Although he was subsequently discharged, <strong>his recovery has required time away from soccer</strong>, leaving his coaching staff responsible for preparing the team. He is not the only one missing from the squad, as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-arent-jamal-musiala-serge-gnabry-playing-today-nov-3-for-bayern-munich-vs-atletico-madrid">several players will also be unavailable, including Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry.</a></p>



<h2>Why is Vincent Kompany not coaching Bayern Munich?</h2>



<p>Vincent Kompany is not coaching Bayern Munich against Atletico Madrid because he is recovering from <strong>a health issue diagnosed as meningeal irritation</strong>, which forced him to step away from his managerial duties.</p>

<p><strong>He collapsed during a training session involving Bayern’s reserve team on October 23</strong> and was taken to the hospital for medical examinations. He subsequently missed the Bundesliga match against Freiburg and the German Cup game against Magdeburg.</p>



<p>According to the sporting director Max Eberl, <strong>medical examinations identified meningeal irritation as the cause of the incident</strong>. The condition involves inflammation or irritation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.</p>



<p>On October 28, Eberl confirmed that the 40-year-old had been <strong>discharged from the hospital and was recovering at home with rest and medication</strong>. Although the news was encouraging, Bayern made it clear that leaving the hospital did not automatically mean he was ready to return to the touchline.</p>



<p>The club has maintained a cautious approach throughout the process. Kompany’s assistants have been instructed to avoid discussing soccer matters with him while he recovers, allowing him to focus entirely on his health rather than training sessions, tactics or upcoming fixtures.</p>



<h2>Who is replacing Vincent Kompany?</h2>



<p><strong>Aaron Danks is replacing Vincent Kompany </strong>as Bayern Munich’s head coach during his absence and will lead the team against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atletico-madrid">Atletico Madrid</a>. The Englishman is part of his coaching staff and has taken responsibility.</p>



<p>He is not taking over as Bayern’s permanent manager. Instead, he is serving as the interim leader, supported by the rest of the coaching staff, including Rene Maric. The arrangement allows Bayern to maintain continuity in their preparation.</p>



<p>Speaking ahead of the Champions League encounter, <strong>he explained that the team’s identity would not change under his leadership</strong>, although the final decisions were now in his hands. He also stressed that he wanted his players to approach the challenge against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/diego-simeone">Diego Simeone</a>‘s team with confidence.</p>



<h2>When will Vincent Kompany return as Bayern Munich coach?</h2>



<p><strong>Bayern Munich have not announced an official return date for Vincent Kompany</strong>, and his comeback will depend on his recovery and medical clearance. The club has avoided setting a deadline for his return to the dugout.</p>



<p>When Bayern initially provided an update on October 24, <strong>Eberl stressed that the recovery would take weeks, not days</strong>. Five days later, after Kompany was released from the hospital, assistant coach Aaron Danks reiterated that there was no established timetable for his return.</p>



<h2>Key takeaways</h2>
