European Football Schedule: Real Madrid and Liverpool in Action

Real Madrid and Liverpool headline the early-morning European football schedule on Sept. 5, but the two clubs arrive in contrasting situations.

Real Madrid will play Real Betis away in an early fourth-round La Liga fixture. Jose Mourinho’s team has won all three of its opening matches, although it has not yet faced a particularly strong opponent. Real Betis is presented as a far tougher test of the team’s ambitions and strength this season. The match will air on ON Football and SCTV15.

Liverpool will visit Ipswich Town in the earliest match of the third Premier League round. The club needs a win after a poor start, having taken two points from its first two matches and sitting in the lower half of the table. Facing newly promoted Ipswich is seen as an opportunity for Liverpool to claim its first victory. The match begins at 2 a.m. on Sept. 5 and will air on FPT Play.

Other notable fixtures include Stuttgart against Cologne at 1:30 a.m. and Lyon against Auxerre at midnight. TV360 THTT will show the Stuttgart match, while ONSport News THTT will broadcast Lyon’s game.
