17th in the Championship, Preston are 10 lengths ahead of the red zone but too far from the race for the top 6. The season therefore seems to be over for the local team which should continue in the coming weeks. Note nevertheless the slight drop in speed experienced by the local players, who lost in the last 4 Championship matches against Millwall 0-2, Oxford Utd 1-3, at the leader Coventry 3-0 and during the previous day on the Norwich turf 2-0. Opposite, Stoke City is 13th in the Championship with no less than 9 lengths behind 6th place, qualifying to participate in the playoffs accession to the Premier League. The road is still long, but remains open.

On condition of achieving an almost perfect final sprint. Problem, Stoke City have lost 2 of their last 3 matches in the league against Coventry 2-1 and Swansea 2-0. In the process, Stoke were held to a draw by Ipswich at home 3-3 before finally finding the key to success against Watford in the previous score 3-1.

The room for maneuver is now very limited for Laval, which is logically heading towards relegation to Nationale 1 in the coming weeks. Too average in both surfaces, this team cannot claim better than 17th place and it is now 7 points behind the first non-relegation team before the last 7 days. Still looking for success since November 25, the Tangos were beaten by Saint-Etienne 2-1 before posting two consecutive draws against Nancy 1-1 and Guingamp 2-2. But last weekend, the Mayennais had no other choice but to fold again against Montpellier 2-0. Grenoble, for its part, has not really shone this season.

But this team should still provide the essentials by renewing its lease at the 2nd level of national football fairly quickly. Indeed, Franck Rizzetto's players occupy 13th place in the ranking with a fairly comfortable cushion of 7 points in the red zone before these last 7 days. However, GF38 has only won one of its last 11 championship matches and it remains in 5 draws during the last 6 days played against Annecy 1-1, Reims 0-0, Nancy 0-0, Boulogne 0-0, Rodez defeat 1-0 and finally Saint-Etienne 0-0 last week.

With its 38 points on the clock, Pau FC is only in the soft underbelly of the ranking, in 11th position in this Ligue 2. However, nothing is completely lost for this team in the race for the top 5 since it only has 5 points outlay on Reims which brings up the rear, proof that this first part of the ranking is very tight. Less in style in recent weeks, Thierry Debès' men had suffered 3 consecutive defeats against Boulogne 1-2, Troyes 4-3 and Saint-Etienne 0-3 before stopping the bleeding against Bastia 0-0. Finally, last weekend, the Béarnais were finally able to smile again by winning with the smallest score against Clermont 0-1. On the other side of the median, Montpellier has started to seriously believe in its chances of a direct return to the elite.

Last in Ligue 1 last season, the MHSC had difficulty rebounding but has now been performing quite well for several days. If they had been defeated by Rodez 1-0, Zoumana Camara's men were then able to take a point against Reims 0-0 before stringing together 2 very important victories against two poorly ranked ones, Nancy 0-3 and Laval 2-0. These 6 points allowed the Héraultais to move up to 7th place in the ranking, 2 units from the top 5.

Often present among the big teams in Germany since its accession to the elite in the mid-2010s, this Leipzig team has been a little less conquering for 2 seasons now. Deprived of Europe this year, the Saxons now occupy 5th place in the ranking which would not allow them to secure a place in the Champions League for next season on paper. That said, Ole Werner's men are only 3 points behind the 3rd place occupied by their opponent of the day. Winner of its last 2 matches against Hamburg 1-2 and Augsburg 2-1, RasenBall Sport made a bad move last weekend by losing in a top-of-the-table shock against Stuttgart 1-0.

Opposite, TSG Hoffenheim is currently holding its place on the podium of this Bundesliga and is even 3 points ahead of the 5th and first virtual non-qualifier for the Champions League who is none other than his opponent of the day. That said, Christian Ilzer's players may have been a little less consistent in recent weeks, as evidenced by their more irregular results in recent days. Surprised at home by Sankt Pauli 0-1, Hoffe was able to move forward by crushing FC Heidenheim 2-4 but he missed a great opportunity to consolidate his 3rd place last week by sharing the points with a Wolfsburg team in difficulty 1-1.

Everton is having a good 2025/2026 financial year and today occupies 8th place in the Premier League with 6 units of spending on the last European folding seat. After going 5 games without defeat, the Toffees were beaten at home by Bournemouth 1-2 and Manchester United 0-1. They resumed their march forward with successes against Newcastle 2-3 and Burnley 2-0. Last weekend, Everton was not unworthy but fell back to the leader Arsenal because of two goals conceded at the end of the 2-0 game. Chelsea are currently 6th in the Premier League and are 3 points behind 4th place, the last qualifying seat for the next Champions League.

The London team raised the bar following the arrival on the bench of Liam Rosenior in January. However, the Blues have let go recently, as evidenced by the only success acquired during the last 5 days, for 2 draws and 2 defeats. After winning in style on Aston Villa's pitch 1-4, they lost at home to Newcastle last weekend 0-1. This week, Chelsea were soundly beaten by PSG 0-3, which confirmed their elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League, losing 5-2 in the first leg.

Auxerre is coming out of a fairly fruitful period for a club which is playing for its survival. Able to hold off Lorient 2-2 and Strasbourg 0-0, the Icaunais club fell on Friday with a short header to Marseille 1-0, thus recording a second defeat in its last 7 matches. He remains a virtual barrier despite this string of good results and will have 8 more matches, this one included, to avoid direct relegation to Ligue 2. The first relegation, Nantes, follows him by 2 points. The AJA can also hope to maintain its position without going through the dams, but a gap of 8 units has opened up with Nice, at the edge of the red zone, which seriously diminishes its hopes.

 Too crumbly in Monaco 2-0, Brest 10th has just tasted defeat again almost two months after its last one. Since then, the Finistère club has lined up 6 matches taking at least one point and even managed victories without conceding a goal against Marseille 2-0, Metz 0-1 and Le Havre 2-0. The SB 29 still has every chance of playing a European qualification over the last 8 days given its delay of 6 points on the top 6. However, it remains too irregular on the road: 3 wins, 3 draws, 7 defeats.

Well underway in Metz last Sunday, Toulouse fell back into its ways as the match progressed and waited until the 99th minute to snatch the 3-4 victory. A first success in almost two months for the Violets who had suffered 4 defeats in 5 matches, including recently at Rennes 1-0 and against OM 0-1. Having moved up to 11th place, they have a sufficient lead over the relegated but should not succeed in entering the European places by the end of the season. TFC is relegated 9 points from the top 6 with 8 games still to play. Lorient pulled off one of the big blows of the last day by beating Lens 2-1.

This result further underlines the very good season of the promoted team, which has accumulated confidence since the fall and is in 9th place in the ranking, to the point of not taking part in the fight for maintenance. Better, his delay of 6 points on the top 6 also leaves him in the running to play a European qualification in the coming weeks. Undefeated for 5 days, the Merlus neutralized Nice 3-3, Auxerre 2-2 and Lille 1-1 before sublimating against Lens.

Considered the real scarecrow of this championship at the start of the season, this Saint-Etienne team managed as best they could to honor their status, particularly in recent weeks, to establish themselves among the serious contenders for promotion. The Greens also occupy 2nd place in the ranking with 3 points ahead of the first pursuer and 4 behind the Trojan leader. Much more successful since the arrival at the helm of Philippe Montanier, the Forez players had been able to string together 5 consecutive successes, the last of which were against Pau 0-3 and Red Star 2-0 in particular. On the other hand, last week, they were unable to find the resources to defeat Grenoble 0-0. FC Annecy, for its part, has not said its last word in the fight for promotion to the elite.

If it is only in 9th place in the ranking, this team only concedes 4 points to the 5th and last virtually qualified for the play-offs. Consequently, everything is still possible for Laurent Guyot's men who were able to achieve very encouraging successes against Red Star 1-2 and Bastia 2-0. Unfortunately for them, the Reds subsequently fell into line by losing in the last 2 days against Le Mans 0-3 and against Troyes 2-1 on Monday evening, the other 2 teams which make up the podium with ASSE.

It is probably only a matter of weeks before Bayern Munich wins a new German championship title, its second in a row. Vincent Kompany's squad has a 9-point margin over its first pursuer, Borussia Dortmund, despite conceding a draw against Bayer Leverkusen last week, outnumbered. Before that, the Bavarians had won their last 5 matches, the last of which against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2, Borussia Dortmund precisely 2-3 and finally against Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-1. This week, the Munich players faced Atalanta Bergamo in the 1/8th final second leg of the Champions League after winning the first leg 1-6. And like last week, they left no chance to the Italians 4-1 to assert themselves more than ever as the big favorites of this competition.

For their part, Union Berlin is obviously not at the same level as their opponent of the day. This team is in fact in the soft underbelly of the ranking, in 9th position, with a nice lead of 7 points over the red zone despite a sometimes questionable quality of play. Beaten 3 times in 5 days, Steffen Baumgart's men were dominated by Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-0 and Werder Bremen 1-4. On the other hand, last Sunday, the Iron Men won against the run of play on the Friborg field 0-1.

Unfortunately for him, Borussia Dortmund should not be able to end Bayern Munich's hegemony over German football. However, this team clearly does not have to be ashamed of its very good record of 58 points taken in 26 days played this year but it still accuses 9 units of expenditure on an intractable Bavarian team against whom it lost during the Klassiker 2-3. Despite this setback, Niko Kovac's men did not give up and won their next two matches, against Cologne 1-2 and against Augsburg 2-0 last week. Thanks to these successes, the Borussen are 8 points ahead of their first pursuer. For their part, Hamburg is on the verge of fulfilling its priority objective of the season, namely securing a rather comfortable hold.

The promoted players are in fact in a very suitable 11th place in the ranking, with a very suitable margin of 6 points on the play-off before the last 8 days of this 2025-2026 financial year. Merlin Polzin's men had, however, encountered some difficulties in recent weeks with defeats against Leipzig 1-2 and against Bayer Leverkusen 0-1. But HSV then resumed their march forward by dominating Wolfsburg 1-2 before sharing the points with Cologne 1-1 last week.

Barring a huge miracle, Heidenheim should probably leave the elite of German football next May. Last in the elite, the local club was only able to grab 14 points during its first 26 matches played this season and it is significantly behind by 10 points on the play-off team 8 days before the end of this exercise. In addition to this, the FCH has had poor performances for many weeks and it remains on 7 defeats conceded over the last 8 days. After being able to hold off Stuttgart 3-3, Frank Schmidt's men were then beaten 3 times by Werder Bremen 3-0, Hoffenheim 2-4 and by Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 last weekend. For their part, Bayer Leverkusen obviously does not have the same concerns as their opponent of the day.

Champion in 2024 and 2nd last year, this team is a little less efficient this season but it still remains in the running to try to finish in the top 4 and secure a place in the Champions League. 6th at the start of this 27th day, the Usine 11 is 5 points behind 4th place Stuttgart after its last 2 draws conceded against Friborg 3-3 and a numerically inferior Bayern Munich last week 1-1. Also involved in C1, Martin Terrier's partners went to Arsenal this week after being able to hold the Gunners to a 1-1 draw in the first leg. Unfortunately for them, they were unable to avoid elimination by logically losing at the Emirates Stadium.

We are no longer very far from industrial disaster for this Wolfsburg team which risks being relegated to the 2.Bundesliga this season. This would sound like a huge detonation across the Rhine for a team which fought for a long time for European places a few years ago and which has sufficient resources to at least aim for the first part of the ranking. Except that 8 days before the outcome of this exercise, the VfL is still floundering in the red zone, in 17th position in the ranking, 4 units from the first non-relegation place. In search of success for more than 2 months, the Wolves were beaten 3 times by Augsburg 2-3, Stuttgart 4-0 and Hamburg 1-2 before taking a good point against Hoffenheim 1-1 last weekend.

For their part, Werder Bremen is not out of the woods either at the end of the season. But with 25 points in their pocket, Daniel Thioune's men manage to keep their heads above water, in 15th position in the standings, with a small lead over the jump-off. The Werderaner have given themselves some fresh air in recent weeks by winning 2 crucial successes against Heidenheim 2-0 and Union Berlin 1-4. But last week, they were beaten at home by Mainz, another direct competitor in the race to remain.

Back at the forefront this season, AC Milan today occupies 2nd place in Serie A with 8 points behind the leader and 7 ahead of 5th place, not qualifying for the next Champions League. After a string of good results, the Rossoneri have appeared less sovereign for some time. Indeed, they have only won 2 of their last 5 league matches, for 1 draw and 2 defeats. Winner of the Madonnina derby against Inter 1-0, AC Milan then lost at Lazio last weekend 1-0. Torino is currently 14th in Serie A and is 9 points ahead of the relegation zone.

The Piedmontese team is not having a good season but still has room to avoid a decline. Nikola Vlasic's teammates have taken a good breath of fresh air recently. Indeed, they have pocketed 2 victories in the last 3 days, for 1 defeat. Beaten by the narrowest of margins in Napoli 2-1, Torino otherwise took advantage of the support of their fans to dominate Lazio 2-0 and Parma last weekend 4-1.

12th in Serie A with 10 points ahead of the red zone, Parma is in a very good position to avoid the decline, the club's announced objective at the start of the season. Carlos Cuesta's men recently took cover with a string of five games without defeat, 3 wins and 2 draws. However, they suffered a big setback on the last day. Indeed, Parma lost heavily to the Torino fans 4-1. Back in the elite this season, Cremonese is fully engaged in the fight for maintenance.

The promoted team now occupies 18th place in Serie A with 3 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation team. Jamie Vardy's teammates have been in a very negative spiral for several weeks. They have not gleaned any success in the last 15 days, 4 draws and 11 defeats. La Cremonese remains on the back of losses suffered against Roma 3-0, AC Milan 0-2, Lecce 2-1 and Fiorentina last Monday 1-4.

Elche came up short against Real Madrid last weekend, losing badly 4-1. A defeat which adds to that already suffered against Villarreal 2-1 and which pushes this team to 18th place, in a virtual relegation position. Terrible 2nd part of the season for the local players, who simply failed to win a single match in 2026, a series of 11 days without success for a not very glorifying record of 7 defeats. On the other side of the median, Mallorca broke its poor dynamic of 5 days without a victory in La Liga by defeating Espanyol Barcelona 2-1 last weekend.

A success which allowed the Mallorcans to leave the red zone and move up to 16th place. As a reminder, before this victory, Vedat Muriqi's teammates had been forced to share the points with Osasuna in the Basque Country 2-2 following their 4 successive defeats against Real Sociedad 0-1, Celta Vigo 2-0, Bétis 1-2 and on the pitch of FC Barcelona 3-0.

It's a descent into hell for Espanyol Barcelona, ​​long in the top 5-6 and now relegated to 8th place due in particular to an inability to win a single match in La Liga in 2026. Indeed, since their setback suffered against Barcelona at the start of 2026 0-2, the Pericos have gone 10 days without celebrating the slightest victory for a record of 6 defeats. Defeats which took place at home against Alaves 1-2 and Girona 0-2 and away on the lawns of Valencia 3-2, Villarreal 4-1, Atlético Madrid 4-2 and last weekend in Mallorca 2-1. For its part, Getafe has won 4 of its last 6 matches in La Liga, and not the least since on their hunting table, we find Betis Sevilla 2-0 but especially Real Madrid 0-1 and Villarreal 2-1.

We can also mention the nice move made at Alaves 0-2. Last weekend, with the objective of achieving a 3rd success in a row in the elite, Bordelas' men lost in the capital against Atlético Madrid because of a gem from elsewhere signed Manuel Molina 1-0. In the rankings, Getafe returned to the top 10 9th and finds itself more than ever in contention in the European fight with 6 lengths behind Celta Vigo.

15th in La Liga at the start of this 29th day, Sevilla FC has a slight cushion of 5 points ahead of Elche, first in relegation but it cannot rest on such a short lead. Last weekend, traveling to the Camp Nou to challenge FC Barcelona, ​​the Sevillian team was outclassed by losing heavily 5-2. This disappointment also put an end to this team's 5-match unbeaten streak, including a narrow victory gleaned on Getafe's turf 0-1. The other results all ended in sharing points with Girona 1-1, Alaves 1-1, in the derby against Bétis 2-2 and against Vallecano 1-1.

For its part, Valencia is 14th with 32 points, only a small step ahead of its evening rival. After winning three of its last four matches in La Liga against Levante 0-2, Osasuna 1-0 and Alaves 3-2, the Ché club had to surrender on the lawn of the red lantern Oviedo last weekend, losing 1-0. Also note the defeat suffered on the road at Villarreal 2-1 or the setback suffered at home against Real Madrid 0-2.

13th with 9 points ahead of the virtual play-off, Paris FC 13th has taken a big step towards maintaining the epilogue of the exercise at 8 days. The leaders can be delighted to have placed their trust in Antoine Kombouaré, whose first time on the bench ended in a victory against Nice 1-0, before draws at Lyon 1-1 and Strasbourg 0-0. The promoted team has regained defensive solidity under Antoine Kombouaré and can boast of having suffered 2 defeats in the Championship since the start of the year. Behind its opponent by one position and one point, Le Havre 14th has just closed a series of 3 defeats.

These, conceded each time without scoring against Nantes 2-0, PSG 0-1 and Brest 2-0, were followed by a very good draw against Lyon 0-0, moreover having played outnumbered from the 55th minute. The Ciel et Marine capitalize on their good start to the year and are ahead of the virtual play-off by 8 points with 8 games remaining in the season.

The next few weeks promise to be quite trying for this Sankt Pauli team who will have to fight until the last day to hope to keep their place in the elite. Indeed, the players from the working-class neighborhoods of Hamburg are currently playing a role in this Bundesliga with the same number of points as the first non-relegation team, Werder Bremen. Relaunched thanks to their successes against Werder Bremen 2-1 and Hoffenheim 0-1, the Pirates of the League were brought back to their senses by Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 then by Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 last weekend. Opposite, Friborg can still consider securing a European place at the end of the season.

8th at the start of this 27th day, this team is only 4 points behind 7th place which has a good chance of being able to allow its occupant to compete in the Conference League play-offs next summer. That said, we will have to accelerate for the Black Forest club which has not won any of its last 3 matches played against Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0, Bayer Leverkusen 3-3 and Union Berlin 0-1 last week. Thursday, the Brazilians of Brigsau welcome Genk in the round of 16 second leg of the Europa League after their defeat in Belgium last week 1-0.
