4.1 Leeds have lost 4 games in a row now. It seems they
have lost their form or their players are very tired
after a long season. They are in danger of losing their
grip on the play-off places. let's see whether Leeds
can keep up their hope by beating Yeovil.
4.2 Norwich can continue their march to promotion by
beating Stockport.
4.3 Swindon can enhance their hope of direct promotion
by beating Tranmere.

5. Comment
5.1 The top 5 teams are separated by a single point
with Marseille and Bordeaux both have 2 games in hand.
You may say both teams (Bordeaux and Marseille) have
better chances of winning the Championship.
5.2 Lille still have some chances of getting a place of
playing in Europa Lg if they win all their remaining matches.
5.3 Montpellier and Auxerre are the surprise packages
this season in the French league. They beat all odds
to stay in the title race.
5.4 Relegation -- It seems there are not much to talk
about the relegation. Le Mans and Grenoble are much
or less relegated right now. Boulogne stilll have a very
slim chance of staying up if they win all their remaining
matches and St Etienne suddenly collapse in the final
stages of the league.

3.1 Rochdale needs 5 more points to clinch promotion.
3.2 Notts County can challenge for the title if Rochdale
slip up in the title run-in.
3.3 Bournemouth have 6 more cushion over Rotherham.
They should have no problem to clinch the automatic
promotion spot.
3.4 Play-Off spots --- Northampton, Morecambe, Bury,
Chesterfield, Aldershot and Rotherham are all fighting
for the Play-Off spots. There are only 4 pts separating
these 6 teams. Port Vale and Dag & Red are poised
to strike if some of the 6 teams slip up.
3.5 Relegation -- Darlington are doomed. Grimsby upturn
in form are coming too late. They have a very slim
chance to escape relegation if they win all their
remaining games and the 3 teams above them slip
upbadly in the run-in. This is very remote.

3. Comment
3.1 This is only 2-horse race for the Spanish title.
It is either Real Madrid or Barcelona. No other teams
can come closer.
3.2 The race on the 4th place is very keen. Sevilla, Mallorca,
and Bilbao are fighting for the last Champ Lg spot.
3.3 Vilarreal , Deportivo, Getafe and Atl Madrid can
claim the Europa Lg spot if they can win their remaining
matches.
3.4 Relegation battles
The bottom 3 teams cannot be total written out yet because
Xerez experienced upturn in form. Xerez won 3 matches
lately.
Santaner, Malaga, Zaragoza, even Espanyol and Osasuna
cannot be so relaxed so soon. They should work harder
to avoid dragging into the mud-sling relegation battles.

15. Giannina 28
16. Panthrakikos 12 --> Relegated
3. Comment
3.1 Panathinaikos needs just 1 more pt in the remaining
2 games to confirm they are the Champions.
3.2 There is not much competition for the last play-off
place. The 6th-placed Kavala is 8pts adrift of Aris (5th).
The teams in Play-Off are Olympiakos, PAOK, AEK
and Aris. The only change will be the points the team
carries into Play-Off because the higher ranked teams
(will be awarded with more points which they carried
into the Play-Off). The awarded points are the difference
btw the teams with the lowest team as basis.
That means the lowest team has 0 point awarded which
they carries into play-off.
3.3 Relegation
Panthrakikos are relegated. The only issue is who will
accompay them. Giannina, Xanthi, Levdiakos are fighting
to avoid relegation. Ast Tripolis and Ergotelis also needs
3 more pints to relieve them from relegation pains.

3. Comment
3.1 Benfica needs 10 more pts to claim the championship.
3.2 Sp Braga and Guimaraes are the surprise packages this season.
It looks like Braga can hold off Porto for 2nd place.
3.3 Sporting Lisbon are very disappointing this season.
They cannot finish any higher than 4th place this season.
There is a big gap (of points) between Porto and Sporting.
3.4 Guimaraes, U.Leiria, P.Ferreira, and Nacional have a claim
on the Europa Lg spot.
3.5 Relegation -- Relegation is much or less decided. It seems
Leixoes and Belenenses are destined for relegation to Div 2.
Are there any miracles for these 2 teams? They also need
Olhanenses and V.Setubal slip up for any of the 2 teams to
overtake them.

2.2 The race for 4th spot (last remaining Champ Lg spot)
2.2.1 Sevilla should beat Malaga, and Bilbao should beat Almeria.
2.2.2 The match between Mallorca (5th) and Valencia (3rd)
should be another fierce contest. Valencia must win
to consolidate their positon but Mallorca must also win
to keep up the pressure on Sevilla. A draw will benefit
their rivals.
2.3 Relegation front --
2.3.1 The relegation derby between Tenerife and Valladolid.
Both side must win to give themseleves a lifeline.
A draw does not help them.

Atalanta.

Both sides must win. A draw will benefit the

3. Comment
3.1 Match of the week is top of table clash between Leverkusen and

not keep the Champ Lg spot. B.Munich may be tired after
the mid-week game against Man Utd.
3.2 Schalke must beat Hannover to keep up with leader B.Munich.

alive. Likewise, Stuttgart and Hamburg must do the same,
otherwise they will kiss their Europa Lg hope goodbye.

survival hope. Hertha form turn up lately. They are in a position

Bochum must also beat Hamburg. They are in the same
position as Hertha.
3.4.3 Hoffenheim must beat Cologne, otherwise they will get

3. Comment
3.1 Game of the week should be Lyon hosting Lille.
Lyon must win to keep pace with the leading pack. While Lille
must win to keep their Europa Lg hope alive.
3.2 Teams from leading pack are playing with teams from
lower half of the table. The teams from the leading pack
must win, otherwise they will be left behind.
3.3 Lower-Half-of-the-table derbys -- Though the 3 bottom teams
are far behind. They will meet teams from lower half of the table.
The first one is Sochaux hosting St Etiennne. Sochaux is
very disappointing this season. If they lose again, they will be
dragged into relegation battles.
The second one is Lens hosting Boulogne. Lens cannot afford to
lose again. This is the best chance for Boulogne to close the
gap of the table.
The third one is Toulouse hosting Grenoble. This is the best
chance for Grenoble grabbing points.

4.1 It is Relegation derby day on Saturday. The doghouse battle
between Hull and Burnley. Both sides must win to give themselves
some chance of survival. Losers are doomed.
4.2 The other game between West Ham and Stoke.
West Ham must win to keep them alive. A draw does not help
4.3 The games Aston V vs Everton, and Liverpool vs Fulham
are also exciting. All 4 sides are in must-win situation.
4.4 The game between Spurs and Arsenal are also a London derby.
Both side must win. If Arsenal lose, they can kiss their title hpe
goodbye. If Spurs lose, their hope of getting the 4th spot
(the last Champ Lg spot) will take a big blow.

3.1 With the top 5 teams separated by 3 pts. it will be
a close finish. Marseille can extend their lead by beating
Nice today (4/11).
3.2 Lyon must beat Lille to close the gap with the leaders.
3.3 Lille could join in the race for Europa Lg spot
(or even a spot in Cahmp Lg), if they can beat Lyon today.
3.4 Relegation -- It seems the bottom 3 teams are doomed.
They are too far off from St Etienne (17th-place).

if both Ajax and PSV lose their games.
3.2 Ajax must beat VVV today to spoil Twente champion
celebration party.

Feyenoord must win to keep AZ at bay for automatic
Europa Lg spot.
3.4 Willem II and Den Haag can still escape from the
dread Relegation Play-Off if they can win their remaining

Likewise for PSV. PSV can only fight for a Champ Lg
spot now.
3.3 AZ must try to beat Twente to get themselves into
automatic Europa Lg spot.
It could be a see-saw battle between Groningen and Utrecht.
Both want to protect their Play-off spot.
3.4 Sparta R can upset Feyenoord to climb off Relegation

3.1 Manchester derby is the highlight this week.
Can Man Utd revenge their defeat earlier this season?
This game will affect both sides. Man Utd hope of
winning the title will take a blow if they lose.
If Man C lose, their hope of taking 4th spot will
take a hammer blow.
3.2 The game between Spurs and Chelsea is much
or less follow the same vein as Manchester derby.
Both sides cannot afford to lose.
3.3 West Ham has a chance of gaining points when
they visit Liverpool. Liverpool is a much weakened
side if Torres is out of the game.
3.4 Can Wigan beat Arsenal to give themselves hope?
3.5 Burnley have a chance of earning points when
they visit Sunderland. Same goes with Hull.
3.6 Portsmouth may be relegated, their players
must fight for themselves for contracts for
next season. The players must be looking for
new clubs next season.

4. Comments
4.1 Norwich need just 1 more point to confirm champion
of the league.
4.2 The Runner-up spot is still up for grab.
Leeds, Millwall, Swindon, and Charlton are fighting
to get the Direct Promotion spot.
4.3 Barring any disaster, Huddersfield will get the last
Play-Off spot. Colchester and Southampton chances
of getting the Play-Off spot is very remote.
4.4 Relegation -- Stockport are relegated.
4.4.1 Southend could be the next one. It seems their
survival chances are very slim.
4.42 Wycombe and Tranmere do still have some chances.
If Tranmere win in their delayed game midweek,
they will close the gap to Exeter.

3. Comment
3.1 Barcelona may field a second-string team for their home
match with Xerez because they may want to let first team
have a rest. It is up to you to believe the 2nd-string Barcelona
will still be better than Xerez.
3.2 R.Madrid do have a chance to overtake Barcelona but they
must beat Zaragoza first.
3.3 Valencia must beat Deportivo to consolidate their 3rd place.
3.4 The Europa Lg chasing packs -- Villarreal can easily beat
Santander. Bilbao face a tough game with Osasuna.
Same goes with Getafe. Sevilla can beat Getafe if they can
keep their form.

3.5.1 Tenerife can beat (or draw with) Atl Madrid since Atl Madrid

They will be relegated if they lose.

Note -- Premier Lg and England FA have rejected Portsmouth

financial situations. The next-ranked (7th) team in the
League Table will take Portsmouth place.
3. Comment
3.1 Man C must beat Arsenal to raise their chance of taking
4th place. Arsenal, in the other hand, may not let this slip again.
They are not really safe for 3rd place. They need to consolidate
their position.
3.2 Man Utd vs Spurs --Both sides cannot afford to lose.
Man Utd's hope for title will take a blow if they do not win.
Similiar story to Spurs, their chances of finishing 4th place
will take a nosedive.
3.3 Birmingham derby -- Aston V are more superior in performance
this season, in comparison with Birmingham.
3.4 Everton vs Fulham -- Fulham may be very tired after midweek
Europa Lg game. I give my vote to Everton.
3.5 Relegation battles
3.5.1 West Ham vs Wigan -- West Ham must beat Wigan to give
themselves survival hope. If Wigan win again, they will be safe.
3.5.2 Hull vs Sunderland -- Sunderland should be the better team.
3.5.3 Burnley vs Liverpool -- Liverpool should be sending out
their B-team in order to give A-team a rest, chances are good
for Burnley to upset Liverpool. Liverpool will have to play
Leg 2 of Europa Lg midweek next week.

They have no trouble beating Nancy.

3.5 Relegation battles -- there is a 8-point gap in the

3. Comment
3.1 Game of the week is Liverpol host Chelsea. If Liverpool beat
Chelsea, they will almost hand over the Championship title
to their bitter rival, Man Utd. They must also win this game
to keep themselves hope for 4th place (no matter how slim
the hope is).
3.2 The other big game is Man C host Aston V. They both must
win this game to have any hope of 4th place. A draw does not
help at all (to both teams). This is a Winner-takes-all game.
3.3 Relegation scenes have been settled. Portsmouth, Burnley
and Hull are all relegated.
Hull have mathematical hopes of staying in Premier Lg but
they must win their remaining games at high score (say 15-0)
and West Ham must lose both games. This is a far-fetch possibility.
Do you think this will happen?

3. Comment
3.1 Game of the week should be Schalke hosting Bremen.
Both sides cannot afford to lose.
If Schalke lose, they almost lose the title fight.
If Bremen lose, they might lose the Champ Lg place.
3.2 Relegation battles -- The bottom 5 teams are all
fighting for their places.
3.2.1 Hertha -- Their situation is not good at all.
They need to win their remaining 2 games and
all other 4 teams lose.
3.2.2 Nurnberg have a higher chance because they can
beat Hamburg who will be busy in the semi-final
game of Europa Lg today (4/29). Hamburg may be tired.
3.2.3 Bochum may be slaughtered by B.Munich who
are chasing the title.
3.2.4 Freiburg can beat Cologne to escape. Cologne
are not very consistent this season.

3.1 Game of the week is Milan hosting Fiorentina.
Can Milan break their losing streak and beat Fiorentina.
3.2 It looks like a stroll for Inter when Lazio host Inter.
Could Lazio drum up defence to hold off Inter?
3.3 Relegation battles
3.3.1 Could Siena beat Palermo for a upset win?
Palermo must beawt Siena to keep their Europa Lg hope.
3.3.2 Similar stories for Livorno hosting Sampdoria.
Livorno are relegated. Their players must play for themselves
hoping other teams boss will sign them next season.
Livorn may be down, their players are not out yet.
3.3.3 There is a relegation battle when Atlalanta host
Bologna. If Atalanta beat Bologna, they still have hope.
Why?? When the two teams are at the same point,
they will be ranked by their head-to-head results.

Just check this season records (on Siena and Bologna
head-to-head records Italian Serie A)
3/21/2010 (21 Mar) Siena 1-0 Bologna
10/29/2009 (29 Oct 2009) Bologna 2-1 Siena
A win each for both teams. Siena has an away goal.
Siena will prevail if the two teams are at the same point.
Another scenario (Atalanta and Bologna)
This season record
1/26/2010 (26 Jan) Bologna 2-2 Atalanta
Therefore, Atalanta do have a chance if they beat

3.2 Guimaraes need another 3 points to claim the
Europa Lg spot.
3.3 Relegation battles

3.5.4 Clermont vs Bastia -- (See also item 3.4.1). Clermont

Comment
1. Top-of-table clash is Sevilla vs Barcelona.
Sevilla must win to keep 4th place for the Champ Lg slot.
Barcelona must win to keep ahead of R.Madrid.
2. R.Madrid have a tough game at home against Bilbao.
3. Villarreal must beat Valencia, who have nothing to play for,
to secure the Europa Lg spot.
4. Relegation battle
4.1 Valladolid can beat Santander at home to give themselves
survival hope. Valladolid cannot afford to lose.
Santander will almost get to safety if they win.
4.2 Tenerife host Almeria. They get afford to lose too.
A draw will not help them very much either.
4.3 Malaga away game with Getafe is also a tough game.
Getafe want to keep their 6th place for Europa Lg spot.
Malaga cannot afford to lose otherwise they can be overtaken
if those teams below them win.

3.1 Marseille already crowned Champion. Lille have a chance to take
points off Marseille or even beat them because they are in a party
mood.
3.2 Auxerre cannot afford to lose to Lens (or even a draw).
Lyon is lurking behind.
3.3 Lyon have an easy game away at Valenciennes.
Lyon will take all 3 pts.
3.4 All relegation issues settled. The games are routine duty
only. The results does not affect relegation.
