After the first three rounds of the Russian Premier League, Lokomotiv Moscow and Krasnodar have gained 4 points each. Certainly, both teams started tentatively the season, but the pressure on the players of the home team is much greater. Last season was quite disappointing for Lokomotiv and no doubt the team will do everything possible to find a place in the top 6.
In the meetings between these two teams Blackburn definitely dominates, as the last loss to Derby was in 2001. The previous season, however, was quite frustrating for the supporters of Blackburn, due to their favourite team finishing at 17th place. Rovers had great difficulties in their matches as a guest, as the team has lost 9 of its last 10 visits in the Championship.
Marco van Basten`s team did not finish well the last season in the Dutch Eredivisie, as Heerenveen recorded 5 consecutive losses. However, Heerenveen took the eighth position in the final standings and this season will definitely fight to improve this ranking. The start of the Eredivisie in 2012 was also a nightmare for Heerenveen, who did not manage to win a match in the first 6 rounds.
Undoubtedly the encounter between Leeds and Brighton is one of the most interesting of the first round of the Championship. Although, they were not particularly active on the transfer market, both teams have serious ambitions to get into the fight for qualifying for the Premier League this season. Brighton was quite close to achieving this goal, but the home loss in the playoffs against Crystal Palace, deprived the team from playing among the best in England.
The champion of the Dutch Eredivisie from last season Ajax starts the title defence, hosting Roda, who managed to avoid relegation. Ajax triumphed last week winning the Super Cup in an outstanding match against AZ Alkmaar. After falling behind with 0-2 until the 70th minute, the team of Ajax managed to turn the game around and deservedly lifted the trophy.
The team of Fluminense is in quite poor form and must seek their first win since 5 matches against Cruzeiro, who is in top form. The guest have been demonstrating lovely football lately and deservedly they top the standings, while Fluminense has a total of only 9 points from 9 games played.
The team of Amkar managed to avoid the playoffs for staying in the league last season in the Russian Premier League. This was only due to Amkar`s better goal difference by just one goal more than Volga Nizhny`s one. However, Amkar performed quite well in the first two games of the season and definitely an optimism can be felt in the squad of Amkar that the team will perform better this year.
CSKA Moscow did not start this season in the best way possible, but the team is favorite to win this match. It is expected that this Moscow derby will offer entertaining football with at least two goals scored.
Just in the second round the Russian Premier League offers us a great clash between the teams of Rubin (Kazan) and Zenit St Petersburg. Rubin will definitely have the mental advantage, because of the three successive wins against this rival in all competitions. Rubin is also traditionally strong at home, and no doubt the team will try to maintain this trend in the new season.
Dundalk hosts at their stadium the leader in the standings - St Patricks, in a match of the final round before the break in the championship.
Despite the first place which currently occupies HJK Helsinki surprisingly the team performance as host is not so good (2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses). They will face the seventh-placed Inter Turku in the first round after the break for international matches.
These teams started poorly the new season. After 4 rounds played in Serie A, Santos has only won 2 points and the visiting Atletico - 4.
The match of the week in Brazil is definitely the one between the teams of Atlético Mineiro and Sao Paulo SP. The two teams met recently in a clash of the Copa Libertadores and Atletico MG managed two convincing victories.
At last, the final of the most prestigious football tournament is approaching. The whole football world is expecting the clash between the two best teams in Europe. After an English team managed to win the Champions League trophy on German ground, now the triumph of the German club football is full, as on Wembley Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich will face each other in a battle for the most valuable football prize at club level.
Most likely this will be the last game of Rafael Benitez as manager of Chelsea, as he is expected to be replaced in the summer. Surely Benitez will try to leave the club with a win after having triumphed with the team in the Europa League this week, the victory today against Everton will mean that Chelsea will finish third in the standings of the Premier League.
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.
Summer is approaching and so are the ends of the football seasons in most countries. From today in forebet.com you can follow the football leagues of Finland, Iceland and the United States.
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.
