Games of the Week

D5

1. Boca v. Lyon
   • Lyon sit bottom of top 100 but can still play spoiler as Chris Union’s Boca look to secure promotion to D4.
2. AZ v. Independiente
   • AZ could leapfrog Boca with a Boca loss (or a resounding win coupled with a Boca tie). Independiente is comfortably in the playoffs – will Gianluca look to rest his team?
3. Lazio v. Shakhtar
   • Lazio need a point to stay out of the bottom 3. They take on runaway league leaders led by Dan Wallace. Could we see an upset with one team playing only for pride?

D4

1. CSKA v, Sevilla
   • A point will see CSKA promoted while Sevilla likely need a win. It should be a cagey match.
2. Olympiacos v. Wolfsburg
   • Wolfsburg are look to climb back into the playoffs while Olympiacos have an outside chance at automatic promotion.
3. Zenit/Augsburg/PSV/Ajax/Torino
   • None play each other, all can be relegated. The bottom of D4 is tight.

D3

1. Inter v. Sunderland
   • Assuming any point deductions for the Italian side will take effect next year, Inter is playing for auto promotion while Sunderland led by Alessandro look to make it into the playoffs
2. Hamburg v. Stuttgart
   • Stuttgart look to play spoilers and keep the commish’s team in the playoffs.
3. Gala v. Sassuolo
   • Attila v. Hussain as Sassuolo look to stay above the relegation zone, which is likely barring a 2 goal defeat.

D2

With promotion and relegation decided (!!!) the last playoff spot is the only thing up for grabs. Schalke take on Liverpool, Sporting face Manchester City, and Udinese take on a hapless Celtic team. Only one will be playoff-bound

D1

1. Hellas v. Chelsea
   • It’s the game of the week as league leaders Hellas take on Chelsea. Chelsea need a win to secure another playoff title while Andre’s Hellas side can squeak by with a draw.
2. Espanyol v. Sao Paolo
   • Another McKenzie will be seeking a win to finish top 4. In his way is Glen’s Espanyol team, which is doing a deep dive to end the season as it looks to stave off Manchester United in the final relegation spot.
3. Manchester United v, Bayern
   • Bayern can’t move much in the table but Bojan can ease Glen’s worries by getting a result against Tharani’s Man United side.
