Preview
The battle for third and the fourth places in the Premier League is open even in the last round. Arsenal needs three points to ensure its fourth position, while a failure of Chelsea, will result in the Gunners getting a direct qualification for the Champions League, as the team will occupy the third place in the table.
Sochaux hosts a team that just plays out the season and made four losses in their last 6 games. A single point for Sochaux will ensure that it stays in Ligue 1 and considering the quality of this team, it is unlikely to lose the upcoming match.
One of the most exciting clashes of the last round of the German Bundesliga is certainly this one between Freiburg and Schalke 04. The match represents the final for fourth place in the standings giving a place in the Champions League. Schalke currently occupies the fourth position, but with only one point ahead of today's opponent Freiburg.
This match is crucial for both teams as the three points are absolutely priceless to Arsenal and Wigan. If Arsene Wenger`s team win, it will again occupy the third place in the standings at the expense of its main rival Tottenham, who currently has a 2 point lead. A win in this meeting will bring confidence in Arsenal squad before the tough visit to Newcastle in the last round of the Premier League.
Fulham made a very bad run of poor results but the team needs only point from the remaining 2 games to secure a stay in the Premier League. This is the last home match for Fulham this season and after 6 consecutive matches without success Dimitar Berbatov and his teammates are expected to be highly motivated to win.
Werder Bremen hosts Eintracht Frankfurt in one of the most exciting clashes of the penultimate round of the German Bundesliga. This time, however, Werder Bremen will fight to avoid relegation while Eintracht Frankfurt is in the battle to qualify for Euro tournaments.
In the last match between these two teams, Chelsea completely broke his opponent with 8:0 victory. However, this time Aston Villa is in much better shape and it shows a serious improvement of the team as a whole.
The оnly Friday game of French League One meet the teams of Lille and Reims, two rounds before the end of the tournament.
This match puts the seventh and eighth-placed team in Serie A at the time, separated by only two points.
Sunderland and Stoke are at risk of relegation and loss in this game will undoubtedly reflect quite negatively on the losing team. Sunderland is only 2 points above the relegation zone and the team will do everything possible to take full advantage of this home match. Sunderland has good statistics from the matches against this rival at home, as out of the last 4 the team has 3 wins.
The Merseyside derby comes at quite a good time for all football fans, as now the stake is much higher - qualifying for the the Europa League. A home win would leave Liverpool in the battle for the sixth place as the team will be only 2 points behind Everton. On the other hand, by the end of the season there are only 2 rounds and Everton has the opportunity to finally decide the dispute in their favor with a valuable victory at Anfield.
For the team of Queens Park Rangers there is nothing more left than to play for their honor in the remaining matches until the end of the season, having already relegated out of the Premier League. Without a doubt, the players of Harry Redknapp will try to give a reason for joy to their supporters in the London derby against Arsenal.
After another series of poor results, the team of Newcastle occupies the unfavorable 17th place in the standings, just five points above Wigan, who has a game less. After the heavy home defeat with 0-6 to Liverpool, the players of Alan Pardew must quickly put aside this horrible match for them and seek mandatory 3 points, which are extremely valuable to the team in the battle to stay in the league.
Celta Vigo is one of the main contenders for leaving the Primera Division, but still nothing has been decided, as the team has a real chance to avoid relegation. In this game, however, anything different than a victory would be a disaster for the hosts. The guests from Athletic Bilbao has also not yet secured a place in the elite of Spain during the next season and at the moment the team is 7 points above the relegation zone.
The undefeated at home this season team of Benfica has the difficult task to make up difference of 1 goal against Fenerbahce. The hosts should be happy that are just one goal behind, because the difference could have been much larger, in view of the last semifinal clash, in which Fenerbahce definitely missed some great chances to score more goals.
In the history of the Champions League, only one team has been managed to overcome the loss in the first meeting of 4-1 and move forward in the tournament. This is Deportivo La Coruna, who secured an impressive victory over AC Milan 4-0, proving that in the Champions League, especially at this stage of the race, anything is possible.
Aston Villa and Sunderland meet in a direct clash to stay in the Premier League. These matches at the end of the season, between the teams struggling not to relegate, are extremely intriguing and full of surprises. For the home team the win is a must, as the three points will put the team in a good position of 6 points above Wigan and equall points with Sunderland and Newcastle. Wigan, however, will remain with a game in hand, but against Tottenham, in which the team will hardly be able to make up some points.
Sampdoria is in very poor form and the team needs a few more points to ensure its stay in Serie A. The team will look for the first win since six rounds against a team that is in a battle to qualify for the Champions League.
After winning the Premier League title for the team of Manchester United remains the challenge to break the record for most points won in a season. Sir Alex Ferguson announced that this is
the main goal to his team and will pursue hit with full strength. To improve this record, however, Manchester United must win all 4 games by the end of the season, starting with an extremely tough
visit to Arsenal.
Atletico Madrid has a decent chance to break the statistics against Real Madrid, as the team hasn`t got a win since 1999 onwards. The team of Real Madrid made a lot of effort in the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, which was lost with 4-1 and the squad of Jose Mourinho may not be fully recovered physically and mentally for the visit to Atletico Madrid.
