Saint-Etienne vs Marseille (French Ligue 1)
19 French League titles between the sides, the 25th round of the 2017/18 French Ligue 1 is going to be opened by the most successful teams in the league. Saint-Etienne(10 titles) and Marseille(9 titles).

Despite Saint-Etienne history, their current position in the league does not make them a threat to a Marseille side that is currently the second-best team in the league standings. Saint-Etienne can make it a third league victory in a row if the can give Marseille their first defeat in 7 league matches.

Napoli vs Lazio (Italian Serie A)
Napoli must win to break loosen Juventus grip on the Scudetto.
Napoli is in a tight race at the top with defending champions Juventus, but third-place Lazio can improve on turning a two-horse race into a three with an away victory in this fixture. Any points dropped by Napoli in this match will put Juventus at the top of the table if they manage to come out of Fiorentina with a victory.

Bayern Munich vs Schalke 04 (German Bundesliga)
18 points is the point-gap between Bayern Munich and the rest of the Bundesliga. It is also the point-gap between 2nd-place Bayer Leverkusen, and relegation zoned Hamburger SV. It will be up to Schalke 04 to avoid a result in this match that could drag them further down in the league standings.

Playing at home, the quality of their players, and current form makes Bayern Munich a clear favorite in this top of the table clash in the German Bundesliga.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal (English Premier League)
North London Derby
Arsenal can move a point away from Tottenham Hotspur if they can grab a victory away at the Wembley Stadium. The form of both teams make it a match that is difficult to call, which creates the best state for a local derby.
