Kashima have won all three continental matches, scoring 11 and conceding just once. Buriram are still looking for their first win. Kashima's attacking quality is a major advantage. Their recent 3–0 win against Pohang and 4–1 domestic victory over Cerezo Osaka demonstrate their scoring potential.

Juventus have home advantage, but Lazio's early-season form makes them difficult to dismiss. A tight draw is my primary prediction, with Juventus winning narrowly as the alternative.

Sampdoria are the lean, mainly because they are at home. This is a provisional prediction rather than a strong statistical selection.

This looks like one of the better candidates for an entertaining, open match. Both teams scoring is plausible, but the recent attacking numbers make the result difficult to predict confidently.

Železničar have had a competitive run of results and should not be underestimated at home. Partizan are my slight preference because of their attacking quality, but this is a lower-confidence away selection.

UTA's home advantage is balanced by CFR Cluj's quality. Both teams scoring is a reasonable possibility, but neither side is a convincing winner pick.

Cesena have home advantage and are without any major listed absences in the available preview. Avellino are missing Daniel Fila through a hamstring injury. A narrow home win is my preferred outcome.

Sturm have won their last six league meetings with GAK and are unbeaten in 12 consecutive home league matches. GAK have improved recently, though, and have gone four matches without a defeat.

This derby could be intense and open. Cincinnati have home advantage, but Columbus' recent resurgence means both teams scoring is worth considering as a match-style prediction.

Grêmio's home advantage is balanced by their recent inability to turn performances into wins. A draw looks plausible, although Cruzeiro could take all three points if their attack performs well.
