Preview
The situation at Manchester United is becoming harder every day and a win in this crucial clash seems mandatory for the team. Reaching the quarterfinals of the tournament, however, would not be easy for United players. Olympiakos have 2 goals lead and are currently in great form.
Chelsea enter into this crucial Champions League clash after a disappointing loss to Aston Villa this weekend. The Londoners have managed a good tournament result away to Galatasaray, finishing 1:1. However, qualifying to the quarter-finals, will never be easy for Chelsea, in view of the fact that their opponent haven`t been defeated in their last 12 games.
The London derby usually offers great football, a lot of goals and consequently overwhelming emotions to the fans. In 8 of the last 10 matches between Tottenham and Arsenal in the Premier League were seen over 2.5 goals. For both teams the 3 points are extremely valuable for achieving their seasonal goals and the pressure on players and managers is huge.
The Premier League offers us two exciting derbies on Sunday. The great rivals Manchester United and Liverpool face each other, and after this huge game, Tottenham welcome Arsenal for the London derby.
The current leader of the Portugal Primeira Liga, Benfica travel to Tottenham in a match of the 1/8 round of the Europa League. This is the first serious test for the Londoners in the tournament and it is in this meeting, where we will see, whether Tottenham have the potential to win the trophy of this tournament.
Barcelona secured a comfortable lead of 2 goals in the previous clash between the two teams. Most experts believe Barca will seamlessly move to the next stage of the tournament, but hardly anyone in the squad of Barcelona thinks the task would be too easy.
Atletico Madrid have to finish what they`ve started and if they perform at their usual level at Vicente Calderon this season, then reaching the quarter-finals will be fully deserved. In both La Liga and the Champions League, Atletico Madrid still haven`t been defeated and hence the chances of success for Milan do not seem particularly good.
For the second consecutive year, Arsenal will have to score more than 2 goals at the Allianz Arena to continue their participation in the Champions League. The task ahead of Arsenal is definitely an extremely difficult one, given Bayern`s form. Despite the home side great strength, Arsenal is not to be underestimated for this match.
Napoli hosts Roma in one of the most exciting clashes of the 27th round of the Serie A. Both teams are competitors for the second place in the standings, with Napoli now 6 points behind their opponent and no doubt the team will be highly motivated to shorten this gap. Roma, however, have even a game in hand and therefore, the second place seems too far away for Napoli.
Only two points separate both teams in the standings and they will undoubtedly strive for as many points as possible in order to increase their distance from the last 3 teams.
The battle for the first place in the Premier League is fierce and the three points of this meeting are mandatory for Arsene Wenger's team, which takes the second place in the standings. Stoke, however, is a tough host and will undoubtedly create some troubles for Arsenal in this match.
Didier Drogba will face the team, where he spent the most spectacular years of his career. Jose Mourinho will need to organize Chelsea`s defence really well in order to counteract to his favorite striker. Undoubtedly, this will be another exciting clash of the Champions League.
The first match of the Champions League for this week is between the teams of FC Zenit St. Petersburg and Borussia Dortmund. It is difficult to determine the favorite in this clash, as Borussia plays rather inefficiently lately, and Zenit haven't participated in an official match for nearly two months.
There are a lot of questions for this Champions League clash, between the teams of Olympiacos and Manchester United. Usually in such a match, most of the specialists would determine Manchester as an absolute favorite, but this season they are performing rather poorly.
Arsenal had a tough week after losing 2-0 to Bayern Munich in Wednesday's Champions League clash and a victory in the upcoming home game is more than a must. A success in this game will keep the Gunners in the fight for first place and return the confidence of the team before heading into a tough series of matches - against Everton, Bayern Munich, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City in just a month's time.
Before the Champions League clash against Galatasaray in midweek, Chelsea will have to face Everton at Stamford Bridge.
After last year's defeat by Bayern Munich at this stage of the tournament, Arsenal now get a chance for revenge. This time the situation is quite different as the Gunners demonstrate great football all season and are among the favorites to win the Premier League.
The knockout stage of the Champions League starts spectacularly with a match between Manchester City and Barcelona. Manchester City perform greatly in front of own audience this season, scoring an average of 3.59 goals in a home game. Barcelona have played rather poorly in their away matches of the Champions League, but the bookmakers define them as the favorite to win this match.
The derby for Rome undoubtedly will once again offer a great deal of emotion to all the football fans. This is one of those games, in which the current form of the teams is not of crucial importance to the outcome. The fans in Rome are awaiting eagerly, because the win in this match means much more than just winning the three points.
Tottenham and Everton face each other in a direct clash for the 5th place in the Premier League, which entitles participation in the Europa League. After their last round draw, the hosts are now 1 point behind the "Toffees", but now they stand a good chance, in front of own audience, to regain the 5th position in the standings.
