Champions League qualifications and relegation avoidance – Some fixtures to look forward to.

Keep these fixtures safe

German Bundesliga

FINAL DAY OF THE 2017/18 GERMAN BUNDESLIGA
The best Hamburger SV can do is to get to the relegation play-offs by beating Borussia Monchengladbach and hope for Wolfsburg to suffer defeat at home to relegated FC Koln.

With ‘goal-difference’ in their favor, Wolfsburg will be needing a victory against FC Koln and some help from Augsburg.  Safety will be secured for Wolfsburg if their victory against FC Koln is met with a victory for Augsburg at Freiburg.

Top four finish and direct qualification to the Champions League

RB Leipzig needs a win against Hertha Berlin and hope that both Leverkusen and Hoffenheim come out of their respective matches on the losing end of the score.
Hoffenheim faces Borussia Dortmund. A home victory for Hoffenheim will see them match Borussia Dortmund in points accumulated, but defeat will leave them exposed to the threat of dropping down from the ‘top four’. A draw is enough for Dortmund, but Hoffenheim can only be comfortable with a victory.

Bayer Leverkusen will be hoping to take advantage of a Hoffenheim defeat with a victory over Hannover 96. The combination of those results will have Leverkusen replace Hoffenheim in the ‘top four’

Should RB Leipzig lose to Hertha Berlin, Eintracht Frankfurt can compete in Europa League if they beat Schalke 04.

Italian Serie A

6 point left in the season for SPAL 2013, Chievo Verona, Crotone, Udinese, and Cagliari to avoid relegation from the Italian Serie A.
Juventus needs a point to clinch the league title for the 7th consecutive time. A draw at the Stadio Olimpico should be enough for Juventus.
Direct qualification to the UEFA Champions League is on the line for Roma, Lazio, and Inter Milan. Roma and Lazio can’t afford a slip if Inter Milan picks up a win over Sassuolo.

English Premier League

A point should do it for Liverpool to clinch a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

Last day of the 2017/18 English Premier League
It will take a shocking defeat at Anfield for Chelsea to get Champions League football with an away victory at Newcastle
Southampton will need to be hammered to a double-digit defeat by Manchester City for a Swansea City result against relegated Stoke City to mean something to the season.  Swansea City will like be going down on the final day.

French Ligue 1

The order of the ‘top-four’ is still undecided and the race for Champions League football for next season continues with Lyon, Monaco, and Marseille.

Saving their season
Six points left in the 2018 Ligue 1 and these 5 teams (Caen, Lille, Strasbourg, Toulouse, and Troyes) need to work on their safety.
Caen will likely clinch safety in the league with a victory at Nice.
