The top five leagues in Europe are closing soon, and situations for some of the teams are becoming more and more tense. We will run over all of them and present you with the current picture in the race for the Golden Boot, the top four places, and the relegation battle.
English Premier League
Golden Boot
There is no debate here, Erling Haaland is the top scorer, and the only question here is whether he reaches 40 goals. Harry Kane has 28, and Tottenham’s striker has no chance of reaching the Norwegian.
Champions League Race
Manchester United will have to rebuff Liverpool in the race for the Champions League. The Red Devils have one game more to play and a one-point edge ahead of the biggest rivals. Though, they meet with Chelsea this mid-week, and a lot depends upon that event.
As for all the other three places, they are reserved for Man City, Arsenal and Newcastle.
Relegation Battle
Leeds and Leicester are in a tough place because they chase Everton, who is two points ahead, holding the spot which guarantees safety. Leicester plays at home against West Ham in the final round, Leeds hosts Tottenham, while Everton meets with Bournemouth, who is already safe.
We really think that the Toffees are staying in the league, as they seem better than the Cherries.
Bundesliga
Golden Boot
Niclas Fullkrug is leading the way ahead of the final round, with only 16 goals scored, while four other players chase Werder’s star – Kolo Muani, Grifo, Gnabry, and Nkunku. All the players have interesting matchups, but Fullkrug still has the best odds of keeping the top spot.
Champions League Race
Dortmund has one point more than Bayern and hosts Mainz at home in a match where a win secures them the title. RB Leipzig is third and has the Champions League ticket in its pocket. Union Berlin and Freiburg battle for the last place, which leads to the UCL.
Union hosts Werder, and there shouldn’t be a problem for them to take all three points here and head to the most prominent European competition. Freiburg plays in Frankfurt against Eintracht and has a much tougher situation.
Relegation battle
Hertha is in Zweite, while Schalke and Bochum sit below the red line, and Stuttgart, who has the same number of points as Bochum and Augsburg, is still in the danger zone. It is going to stay like that with Schalke visiting RB and Bochum hosting Leverkusen, who needs points to reach the international stage.
Ligue One
Golden Boot
Mbappe has 28 goals scored, with Lacazette netting 26 times this year. The Saints close the season at home, and there is no way to Mbappe missing an opportunity to deliver at least once and secure his goalscoring title.
Champions League Race
PSG is the champion, Lens is second and heads to the Champions League, while Marseille secured the qualifiers for the same competition.
Relegation Battle
Lens and Nantes are fighting for the relegation. Nantes has one point fewer and visits Lille, who needs a win to reach the UEFA Europa League. Lens hosts the relegated Ajaccio and will probably stay in the league.
La Liga
Golden Boot
Robert Lewandowski has five goals more than Karim Benzema with three rounds to go. We will see what happens, but in our opinion, the Polish player’s advantage is big enough to secure him the Golden Boot.
Champions League Race
Barca, Atletico Madrid, and Real are in the Champions League, while Real Sociedad needs a few more points to rebuff Villarreal’s push. Judging by the way they play, the team from San Sebastian will head into the UCL.
Relegation Battle
Several teams are in the mix, Espanyol, Valladolid, Getafe, Cadiz, and Celta, and this is going to be madness in the remaining three rounds.
Serie A
Golden Boot
Victor Osimhen has 23 goals, three more than Lautaro Martinez, with two rounds to go. Given the way that the Nigerian striker plays solid, he will score at least one goal until the end to cement his place on the throne.
Champions League Race
Napoli, Inter, and Lazio are safe, while Milan has three points more than Atalanta. Both teams have a very tough schedule in the coming rounds, and everything is possible here.
Relegation Battle
Verona, Spezia, and Lecce are in the mix for a trip to Serie B. Verona has the toughest schedule and, on top of that, a one-point deficit behind Spezia, which will, in our opinion, be a decisive factor in this relegation battle.
