The bottom of the La Liga standings is very competitive heading into the weekend’s round of fixtures. Eleven points separate last-place Levante and 13th-place Elche. With 12 games to go in the La Liga season, a lot can happen in the relegation/survival race.
The Scottish Premiership returns for a midweek set of fixtures on Wednesday night. Celtic have a three-point lead over Glasgow rival Rangers in the race for the Premiership trophy. Rangers are on a two-match winless streak in the league as they have a tricky fixture at St. Johnstone.
Serie B offers up a midweek round of fixtures as the race for the title is tight. Lecce and Cremonese go into the midweek round level on 49 points. First-place Lecce and sixth-place Monza are separated by just five points. There is a lot to play for this week.
Nantes pulled off a brilliant 3-1 home win against league leader Paris Saint-Germain last weekend. Now, the Canaries are aiming for a third straight Ligue 1 win. The race for the top three is heating up in Ligue 1 as eight points separate second-place Marseille and eighth-place Nantes.
Six points separate Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich and second-place team Borussia Dortmund ahead of the weekend action in the German top flight. Borussia Dortmund have the chance to reel in the league leaders as the fight for the title heats up in Germany.
The England Championship offers up another midweek of matches as teams battle for the promotion playoffs. Fulham’s Championship title hopes took a hit at the weekend with a loss to Huddersfield. A little further down the table, just five points separate sixth place and 13th in the race for the playoffs.
The Europa Conference League round of 16 playoffs move into the second leg on Thursday. The first leg matches threw up a few shocks, most notably Norway’s Bodø/Glimt going to Glasgow and defeating Celtic 3-1. A place in the Europa Conference League last 16 proper is on the line this week.
Sevilla still have a chance at winning La Liga for the first time since the 1940s. Los Rojiblancos are just four points off of Real Madrid ahead of the weekend.
AC Milan moved into first place ahead of Inter Milan in the Serie A table last weekend. Although the Nerazzurri have a game in hand, AC Milan are one point ahead of their city rival in the title race.
The Europa Conference League moves into the knockout round playoffs this week as 16 teams battle it out for a place in the tournament’s last 16. The knockout round playoffs feature the third-place teams from the Europa League group stage and Europa Conference League group runners-up.
Serie B kicks off a set of midweek matches with major promotion and relegation implications. Lecce lead Serie B heading into the midweek games, but Cremonese and Pisa could overtake the Giallorossi with wins and results going their way elsewhere.
The race for Champions League qualification in France is fast and furious. Nine points separate second-place Marseille and eighth-place Montpellier in the battle for the top three. A slate of exciting matches in France is on tap for this weekend and each will have an impact on the race for the top three.
Bayern Munich opened their lead over Borussia Dortmund to nine points last time out. Die Roten are running away with the Bundesliga title. Meanwhile, the race for the top four is heating up with six teams separated by just five points between fourth place and 10th place.
Fulham are five points ahead of second-place Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. The fight for automatic promotion is tight with Fulham separated from fourth-place Queens Park Rangers by seven points. A midweek slate of fixtures could have a major impact on the automatic promotion race.
The Scottish Premiership took a turn a week ago as Celtic won the Old Firm Derby in scintillating style over Rangers. Now, Hoops are aiming to keep the gap between themselves and Rangers at one point at the very least.
Internazional lead Serie A by four points over city rival AC Milan heading into the weekend. Down the table, there is a lot to play for as four teams are fighting for the final Champions League qualification place. Meanwhile, the relegation race could see a twist this weekend.
The race for the league title this season is quite exciting with AFC Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord going neck and neck with a minimal distance between them in the standings. On the opposite side of the table the situation is even more intense, as the teams will be fighting to remain in the Eredivisie.
The Championship will offer up a set of midweek matches. There is a lot to play for amongst the teams involved in the four matches this midweek as vital points for promotion or safety are at stake. Each of the four midweek matches will impact the Championship table in significant ways.
