December 17, 2017
Lyon vs Marseille
Nice vs Bordeaux
Manchester City vs Tottenham (English Premier League)
Tottenham Hotspurs just put together a string of league wins to get themselves back into the top four over the mid-week fixtures. As pre-season title contenders, Tottenham surely has the talent to hand top table Manchester City their first league defeat of the season.
Manchester City has been impossible to play against everywhere they’ve played. Having home advantage and being on a historic winning streak makes Manchester City a favorite in this match-up. Success will allow Manchester City to widen the point-gap between the two sides to a whopping 21 points.
Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim (German Bundesliga)
Both teams will be looking to put a string of win together. Hoffenheim has had an inconsistent season so far, while Dortmund is coming off their first league victory since September 30. 2017.
Hoffenheim sits above Dortmund in the league standings after accumulating a point more from 16 matches. A home victory will see Dortmund leap over Hoffenheim in the league standings.
Lyon vs Marseille (French Ligue 1)
Choc des Olympiques
We would be calling this a title race if Paris Saint-Germain was not exercising their dominance in the 2017/18 French Ligue 1 season. Goal difference is the only thing that is separating 2nd-placed Lyon and 4th–placed Marseille. The UEFA Champions League spot is on the line for these two sides.
