Inverness

Raith Rovers

Inverness enter the fifth round of the 2026/27 William Hill Championship after winning promotion back from League One. They finished as champions last season with 69 points after a five-point deduction, while Raith finished fifth in the Championship with 45 points. After four league rounds, Raith have seven points and sit third, while Inverness have only three points in eighth. Raith have scored five and conceded three, whereas Inverness have scored two and conceded four, highlighting the difference in early-season efficiency. Recent form also gives Raith an advantage. Their five latest matches before this fixture include League Cup and Championship games: victory over Peterhead, a draw with Stenhousemuir, wins against Queen’s Park and Ayr United, followed by a 0-1 defeat at Dunfermline. Inverness have been less consistent, drawing with Dunfermline and Arbroath, losing 2-6 to Hearts, drawing with Partick Thistle and then losing 1-3 to Stenhousemuir. However, their home record remains significant, as they have not lost a Championship home match this season.

Inter Turku enter the Suomen Cup final after a highly consistent Veikkausliiga campaign. After 22 matches, they sit second with 42 points, winning 11, drawing 9 and losing only twice, while conceding just 16 goals. HJK are third with 37 points, scoring 36 goals but conceding 27. Their record of 11 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats shows greater attacking output than Inter, although their defensive consistency has been weaker during the 2026 season. Recent form also favors Inter in terms of stability. Their last ten matches in all competitions produced five wins, four draws and only one defeat. HJK also have five wins, but suffered four losses, including two defeats against Motherwell in the Conference League. Recent head-to-head meetings are particularly significant, with Inter unbeaten in their last six Veikkausliiga encounters against HJK, recording one win and five draws. The two meetings in 2026 ended 1-1 and 3-3.

Lens vs Lorient: Home Advantage and the Need to Maintain Their Attacking Momentum Lens enter Matchday 3 of the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season with three points from two games, scoring six and conceding four. Their 5-2 victory over Auxerre highlighted strong attacking power, while the 1-2 defeat to Strasbourg exposed some defensive inconsistency. Lorient have only one point after a 0-0 draw against Nice and a 1-2 defeat to Troyes. They won Ligue 2 in 2024/25 with 71 points and finished ninth in Ligue 1 last season, but their current start indicates limited attacking production. Recent head-to-head results favor Lens, who defeated Lorient 3-0 at home last season and 2-0 at Bollaert-Delelis in 2024. However, Lorient won the most recent meeting in March 2026, beating Lens 2-1, showing that this fixture is not completely one-sided. Bollaert-Delelis is an important factor: Lens opened their home campaign with a 5-2 win over Auxerre and are averaging three goals per league match after two rounds. Lor

Ascoli enter round three of Serie B 2026/27 with four points from two matches, sitting fifth. They beat Hellas Verona 2-1 away before drawing 1-1 with Carrarese, showing a strong adaptation after promotion. Benevento have one point and sit 16th. They lost 2-1 to Modena before drawing 1-1 with Südtirol, with their equaliser coming from a penalty in the 90+2nd minute. Their opening games suggest room for improvement in game control. The overall head-to-head record favors Benevento, with six wins, five draws and two defeats in 13 meetings. However, the last five encounters produced two Benevento wins, two draws and one Ascoli victory. Ascoli also carry strong momentum from last season, defeating Union Brescia 4-1 on aggregate in the Serie C playoff final to earn promotion. Benevento were also promoted, making this a meeting between two ambitious newcomers. With home advantage, four points already collected and the steadier early-season performances, Ascoli have the stronger platform. Ben
