Charlton could find themselves under threat of the red zone if they lose at home tonight. 18th with 35 points, the local team is only three steps ahead of West Brom, first in relegation. Last weekend, on the previous day, Charlton won on the Leicester pitch without even conceding a goal 0-2. A success which stopped the beginning of a hemorrhage of two successive defeats against Millwall 4-0 and Derby at home 1-2.

 Opposite, Queens Park Rangers 11th would like to make a nice jump towards the top 6 with 4 lengths behind Wrexham 6th. During the previous day, at home, QPR made the coffee by winning against the leader in person, Coventry 2-1, thus putting an end to its poor dynamic of 3 days without a victory. At the heart of this series, the visiting players were surprised by Wrexham at home losing 2-3 and forced to share the points with Oxford 0-0 and Stoke City on the road 0-0.

Back in the elite this season, Leeds have no other ambition than to win the promotion. The promoted side now occupies 16th place in the Premier League, 6 points ahead of the first relegated team. Daniel Farke's men are difficult to maneuver these days. Indeed, they have only lost 2 of their last 11 league matches, for 3 wins and 6 draws. After taking a point at Everton 1-1, Leeds suffered a heavy setback against leader Arsenal last weekend 0-4. Less to their advantage compared to the previous year, Nottingham Forest are currently 17th in the Premier League and have the same number of points as their opponent of the day.

Morgan Gibbs-White's teammates recently raised the cursor, which allowed them to distance themselves from the red zone. Indeed, they have not conceded any setbacks in the last four days, 2 wins and 2 draws. After winning at Brentford 0-2, the Nottingham club was held to a draw at home by Crystal Palace last weekend 1-1. In the Europa League play-off, Forest will face Fenerbahce.

Defeated last weekend for the third time in a row in Ligue 1, Metz remains stuck at the bottom of the standings and is 8 points behind the non-relegation leader. This setback, conceded to Angers 1-0, follows that to Strasbourg 2-1 in the derby and another, heavier one, against Lyon 2-5. The change of coach made last month, with Benoit Tavenot to succeed Stéphane Le Mignan, is not bearing fruit for the moment. Worst defense in the elite, the Garnets are getting a little closer to a return to Ligue 2 less than a year after leaving it. LOSC is also in bad shape at the start of the year.

Beaten successively by Rennes 0-2, PSG 3-0 and Strasbourg 1-4, the northern club stopped its bad luck last week, by beating Friborg 1-0 in the Europa League, but immediately plunged back. Having left Lyon empty-handed 1-0 on Sunday, the Mastiffs have lost their last 4 Ligue 1 matches and see a gap of 7 points widening with the top 4. A possible qualification for the next Champions League is slipping away for Lille, 5th after 20 days.

The dynamic is rather good at the moment on the FC Annecy side. After starting 2026 with a setback conceded against a Reims team in form, the Haut Savoyards have resumed their march forward in recent weeks and they have even just had 3 good successes against Amiens 2-0, Clermont 2-1 and especially Dunkirk 0-1 last week. Following this good series, the Reds returned to 8th place in the standings. Better yet, they are only 3 units behind the 5th place occupied by Saint-Etienne.

If Annecy can afford to look upwards and a potential qualification for the play-offs, the situation is different on the side of Grenoble whose priority must be to be able to ensure its maintenance as quickly as possible. Currently, Franck Rizetto's men are in 12th place in the standings with a 6-point lead over the first relegated team thanks in particular to the victory won last week against a poorly ranked Amiens 2-1. Before that, the Isérois had been beaten by Bastia 1-0 and by Red Star 0-3 and held to a draw by Pau 2-2.

Although he was predicted to have a very difficult season in Ligue 2, Boulogne is still in the running to try to secure his continuation. However, this exercise had started very badly for this team which had been promoted at the last minute after the administrative relegation of AC Ajaccio. But little by little, the USBCO was able to raise its level and string together some good results which today allow it to be in 13th place in the ranking, with 4 points ahead of the first relegation place. The Pas de Calais players have also won 2 of their last 3 matches played against Montpellier 1-0, Red Star 2-2 and Saint-Etienne 0-1, 3 contenders announced for the promotion. Rodez, for his part, has been in Ligue 2 for much longer than his opponent of the day but his ambitions are ultimately not much greater for this second part of the season.

Just like his opponent of the day, Raf is in fact in the second half of the table and he will not be able to claim much better than a comfortable position this year. That said, it's been almost 3 months since Didier Saintini's men have been undefeated in the league. Recently, they have won 3 draws in the last 4 days played against Pau 0-0, Le Mans 1-1, Nancy victory 1-3 and Red Star 1-1.

4th in the last year and finalist in the play-offs last season after beating Guingamp in the first round, Dunkerque would undoubtedly like to do it again this year. Everything is still possible for this team which is in 6th place in this championship with only 2 lengths behind 5th place. After having started the year rather well with 2 successes against Montpellier 1-3 and Pau 3-1, the Maritimes have stalled twice in the last 2 weeks against Le Mans 1-0 and Annecy 0-1. As indicated above, Guingamp participated well in the play-offs last season before falling against Dunkirk.

A little less convincing this year, En Avant can still believe in its chances of playing them again this year. The Bretons are in fact in 7th place in the ranking, with a small point behind their opponent of the day and therefore 3 on the 5th place occupied by Saint-Etienne. Rather good during the month of January, the Guingampais had 3 great victories against Boulogne 3-0, Nancy 0-3 and Troyes 1-0 before falling to Montpellier 3-1 last week.

Not expected at the start of the season to play the leading roles in this championship, this Red Star team is nevertheless at the foot of the podium in this Ligue 2, in 4th position in the ranking, with a delay of only a small point on 2nd place, synonymous with direct accession to the elite. Beaten on the ground of the Trojan leader 1-0, the Ile-de-France residents were then able to resume their march forward against Grenoble 1-0. But during the last two days, they could not obtain better than 2 draws against Boulogne 2-2 and against Rodez 1-1 last weekend. Quickly present at the top of the table thanks to a good start to the season, Pau FC was then unable to maintain the pace during the fall and therefore saw the best teams overtake it in the race to climb.

Much too irregular in recent months, the residents of Nouste Camp started 2026 with 3 unsuccessful matches against Rodez 3-3, Dunkirk 3-1 and Grenoble 1-1, which led to the departure of the coach, Nicolas Usaï, replaced by Thierry Debès. For his debut on the Pallo bench, the former ACA and Guingamp goalkeeper was able to achieve his first victory on the Laval field 0-1. A success which allows the Béarnais to move up to 10th place in the ranking, 4 units from the top 5.

After needing a few months of running-in in this Ligue 2 following last year's relegation, Stade de Reims is now moving forward at a brisk pace without being at full speed. That said, if we put aside the defeat experienced during the derby against the Trojan leader in mid-January 2-1, Karel Geraerts' players are impeccable in 2026 with successes against Annecy 2-1, Saint-Etienne 0-1 and Clermont 0-1 last weekend. Thanks to this excellent dynamic, the Champenois have moved up to 2nd place in the ranking with only 3 points behind Estac which is leader. This week, the Rémois host Le Mans in the Coupe de France. For its part, Bastia does not have the same hopes of climbing into the elite as its host of the day.

On the contrary, Sporting will seriously have to accelerate or risk being relegated to National 1. This outcome is also the most likely when we look at the accounting situation of the club which brings up the rear in the ranking with 7 units behind the first non-relegation team. Better in recent weeks with successes against Grenoble 1-0 and Laval 0-2, the Corsicans plunged back at home against Montpellier 0-2 before settling for a point against Nancy 0-0 last week.

Much better than in previous years, Union Berlin should be able to navigate out of the dangerous waters of the second half of the table and ensure its maintenance fairly quickly. It must be said that the capital club occupies 9th place in the ranking and that it has a good lead of 6 points over the red zone before the start of this 21st day. That said, the Iron Men have visibly seen their momentum cut by the winter break and they have still not won in 2026. And after having drawn 3 matches against Mainz 2-2, Augsburg 1-1 and Stuttgart 1-1, the Berliners have had to give up their weapons in recent weeks against Borussia Dortmund 0-3 and against Hoffenheim 3-1. Rather interesting in the first part of the season, Eintracht Frankfurt is now going through a big crisis since the winter break.

Much too fragile defensively, this team conceded numerous goals which weighed down the club's balance sheet after the first 20 days. The Capricious Diva has only won once in all competitions since November 22 and she remains on 4 consecutive defeats. In the Champions League against Qarabag 3-2 and Tottenham 0-2 or in the Bundesliga against Hoffenheim 1-3 and Bayer Leverkusen 1-3 last week. In the ranking, the Eagles have therefore fallen to 8th position in the ranking, now 8 points from the top 6.

In great danger this season, Hellas now occupies last place in Serie A with only 14 points taken in 23 matches. The red lantern is not yet completely clinched but will have to work to avoid falling 4 units of expenditure on the first non-relegable. On the tough side, the Veronese club has not won any of its last eight championship matches, 2 draws and 6 defeats. Hellas remains on the back of losses suffered against Udinese 1-3 and Cagliari last weekend 4-0. This week, coach Paolo Zanetti was dismissed from his position.

Destined to fight for survival this season, Pisa is currently 19th in Serie A and has the same number of points as its opponent of the day. The promotion is on a dynamic which does not really encourage optimism. Indeed, Alberto Gilardino's gang has not gleaned any victory in the last twelve days, 5 draws and 7 defeats. After sharing points with Udinese 2-2 and Atalanta 1-1, Pisa lost to Inter 6-2 and Sassuolo last weekend 1-3.

NAC Breda is virtually relegated by being penultimate in the standings. However, a victory and the situation would be much less alarming for the local team. Problem, no victory in the last 10 Eredivisie matches for a total of 6 defeats and 4 draws. The defeats were written away on the lawns of Volendam 2-1, Excelsior 1-0, Sparta Rotterdam 1-0 and at home for the receptions of Telstar 0-1, Nijmegen 3-4 and PSV 0-1. To date, Breda has still limited the damage by grabbing two draws against PSV 2-2 and Twente 2-2.

For its part, Excelsior is not currently called upon in the fight for maintenance but it must be wary of the still water. The break was still achieved by the visiting players, who were 6 lengths ahead of the jump-off, Heracles. It is important to mention that in 2026, in the championship, Excelsior has still not managed to win, thus recording five matches without success including a very heavy defeat at PSV 5-1. Fortunately, although they are unable to win, this Excelsior team manages not to lose and to cope with 4 successive draws in the current series against Telstar 2-2, Alkmaar 1-1, Twente 0-0 and against Ajax at home during the previous day 2-2.

In their very last meeting, Al Nasr FC played against the club and the match ended with a result of 1 - 0.

Celta Vigo are on a bad run having won none of their last three matches in all competitions, even losing at Real Sociedad in La Liga 3-1 and embarrassed at Getafe last weekend 0-0. The other bad operation took place in the Europa League on the pitch of Red Star Belgrade 1-1. To stay with the C3, the Galicians will play a play-off match against PAOK Salonika in a round trip. Let's still note the good energy at home among the Celticos who won their last 4 tcc matches, against Lille in the Europa League 2-1, as well as in La Liga against Vallecano 3-0, Valencia 4-1 and Bilbao 2-0. In the rankings, Vigo is at the gates of the top 6 qualifying for Europe next season with 1 small length behind Espanyol Barcelona.

Opposite, we find Osasuna, a team which took time to attack the Liga due to a change of coach and game physiognomy. But now the Rojillos occupy the top 10 of the elite by being installed in 9th place, but with a serious outlay of 7 points on their evening counterpart. Last weekend, by grabbing an excellent point from the draw at home against Villarreal 2-2, the Basque team allowed itself to record a third match without a setback in La Liga after the two successes against Rayo Vallecano 1-3 and Oviedo 3-2.

Coming down from La Liga, Leganes probably had high ambitions when attacking this campaign in the 2nd division. But for the moment, it would be a question of getting out of the 2nd part of the table, since with 29 points, the Pepineros only have a very small margin on the first relegation with only 4 points ahead of Real Sociedad B. A Basque team against which the team from the Madrid suburbs recently won 2-0. However, in the hunt for confirmation, the residents of Butarque fell to Burgos during the previous day 2-1. Let us note, however, that Leganes have won 3 of their last 5 matches in the league. Coming straight from Andalusia, Granada is a team that has already played in the elite of Spanish football, two seasons ago now.

Stuck in the 2nd division, El Grana also needs to collect points in order to move away from the red zone. This was the case in his last away match in the league, with the Cadiz Pirate Ship winning 1-2. A success which had extinguished the slight fire of two defeats in a row on the lawns of Almeria 3-2 and Sporting Gijon 1-0. Last weekend, during the previous day, Granada recorded a second victory in a row by receiving Racing Santander 1-0. Casually, the Andalusians have been undefeated for 4 days 2v, 2n.

Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League, 6 points ahead of their closest pursuer. Waiting for a championship title since 2004, the London team has a great opportunity to end its long drought. The Gunners recently let valuable points slip away with a string of three games without a win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. They brilliantly resumed their march forward at Leeds last weekend 0-4. Author of a faultless record in the Champions League with 8 victories, Arsenal took 1st place and will be present at the meeting in the round of 16.

A nice surprise for this 2025/2026 financial year, Sunderland now occupies 8th place in the Premier League with 4 points behind the last European folding seat. The promoted team was more expected in the fight not to go down but has earned the right to dream in this second part of the season. Difficult to maneuver, the Black Cats have only lost 2 of their last 9 championship matches, for 3 wins and 4 draws. Beaten on West Ham's pitch 3-1, Sunderland then got the better of Burnley last Monday 3-0.

Bournemouth are currently 12th in the Premier League and are 7 points behind in 5th place. Authors of a good start to the championship, the Cherries then seriously fell into line. Indeed, they did not achieve any success between the beginning of November and the beginning of January, 5 draws and 6 defeats. On the other hand, the Andoni Iraola gang has resumed its march forward since, as evidenced by its current series of four matches without a setback, 3 victories and 1 draw. Held in check at Brighton 1-1, Bournemouth otherwise won against Tottenham 3-2, Liverpool 3-2 and Wolverhampton last weekend 0-2.

Aston Villa today occupies 3rd place in the Premier League with 7 points behind the leader and 6 ahead of 5th place, not qualifying for the next Champions League. Less sovereign in recent weeks, the Villans have conceded 3 losses in the last 6 days, for 2 victories and 1 draw. After winning in the den of Newcastle 0-2, they fell again, despite the support of their fans, against Brentford last weekend 0-1. In the Europa League, Aston Villa finished in 2nd place and therefore booked their ticket for the round of 16.

In great difficulty for its return to the elite, Burnley is currently 19th in the Premier League and is 11 points behind the first non-relegation team. The Clarets are likely to have a lot of difficulty in securing maintenance and the dynamic does not encourage optimism. Indeed, they have not won any of their last fifteen league matches, 5 draws and 10 defeats. After having managed to share the points with Manchester United 2-2, Liverpool 1-1 and Tottenham 2-2, Burnley fell back heavily at Sunderland last Monday 3-0. Not necessarily expected so much this season, West Ham today occupies 18th place in the Premier League with 6 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation place.

After going ten games without a win, 4 games and 6 defeats, the Hammers have found some momentum recently. Indeed, they took over Tottenham 1-2 and Sunderland 3-1. Last weekend, West Ham unfortunately let a 2-goal advantage slip away and ultimately lost at Chelsea following a goal conceded in added time 3-2.

Fulham now occupies 9th place in the Premier League, 6 points behind the bottom European seat. The London team needed time to find the right fuel. On the other hand, the Cottagers have clearly increased their level for several weeks now. After going six games without a loss, 4 wins and 2 draws, they fell to Leeds 1-0. Since then, Fulham took advantage of the support of their fans to beat Brighton 2-1 and lost at Manchester United last weekend following a goal conceded in added time 3-2.

Everton is currently 10th in the Premier League and has the same number of points as its opponent of the day. The Toffees aren't losing much these days but are still taking small steps forward. Thus, they have only pocketed 2 victories in the last 7 days, for 4 draws and 1 defeat. After creating a surprise by winning on the lawn of Aston Villa 0-1, Everton was forced to share the points with Leeds 1-1 and Brighton last weekend 1-1.

4th in the Premier League with 1 point ahead of 5th place, Manchester United maintains the hope of qualifying for the next Champions League. Since the arrival on the bench of Michael Carrick, the Red Devils have been living a real fairy tale. They first made their mark by paying off two big names: Manchester City 2-0 and Arsenal 2-3. Last weekend, Manchester United had to work hard to maintain their good momentum but found the resources to dominate Fulham thanks to a goal scored at the end of added time 3-2. Like the previous year, Tottenham is not meeting expectations this season.

The London team currently occupies 14th place in the Premier League, 11 points behind the last European side and 9 ahead of the first relegated team. On the tough side, Spurs have not won any of their last six league games, 4 draws and 2 defeats. After losing to Bournemouth 3-2 and West Ham 1-2, they shared points with Burnley 2-2 and Manchester City last weekend 2-2. More to their advantage in the Champions League, Tottenham finished in 4th place and is therefore waiting to know the identity of their opponent in the round of 16.

Expected in the battle for the Big 4 this season, Newcastle does not meet expectations and today occupies 11th place in the Premier League with 7 points behind 5th place. Eddie Howe's men will therefore have to raise the bar to secure European qualification. After having had three victories in a row, they fell back into their bad habits during the last three days. Held to a draw at bottom side Wolverhampton 0-0, the Magpies then lost to Aston Villa 0-2 and Liverpool last weekend 4-1. 12th in the Champions League, Newcastle will face Qarabag in the round of 16. Not expected so high this season, Brentford are currently 7th in the Premier League and are 3 points ahead of their opponent of the day.

The Bees showed a very good appearance between mid-December and early January. Indeed, they have had six matches without a loss in the championship, 4 wins and 2 draws. The two defeats suffered against Chelsea 2-0 and Nottingham Forest 0-2 put an end to this great dynamic. However, Brentford responded brilliantly by winning at Aston Villa last weekend 0-1.

Wolverhampton are experiencing a real nightmare this season and occupy last place in the Premier League with only 8 points taken in 24 games. We do not see how the red lantern could avoid the drop 18 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation. The Wolves showed a brief upswing recently with a string of four games without defeat, 1 victory and 3 draws. Unfortunately, they have started a bad dynamic again since then. Wolverhampton lost to Manchester City 2-0 and to Bournemouth last weekend 0-2. Checkered results led to the dismissal of coach Enzo Maresca at the end of December.

Under the orders of Liam Rosenior, the London team has regained color, as evidenced by the 6 successes gleaned in all competitions, for 2 defeats. In the league, the Blues got the better of Brentford 2-0, Crystal Palace 1-3 and West Ham last weekend 3-2. This allows them to occupy 5th place in the Premier League today, 1 point behind the Big 4. This week, they lost at Arsenal 1-0 and were thus eliminated in the semi-final of the League Cup, losing 2-3 in the first leg. 6th in the Champions League, Chelsea qualified directly for the round of 16.

Defeated in Lyon 2-1 and at home by Toulouse 0-2, Stade Brestois thought it would put an end to its bad patch last weekend on the Nice pitch. While ahead at halftime 0-2, the Ti-Zefs however scuttled in the second half and left the Côte d'Azur with a 2-2 draw. They were relegated to 12th place before the weekend's matches but remain 9 points ahead of the virtual play-off. The SB 29 will nevertheless have to react quickly so as not to have to watch its back at the end of the season.  Undefeated for 11 games, FC Lorient could extend its series on Wednesday against Paris FC, with qualification for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France at stake.

As for their campaign in Ligue 1, the Merlus continued last weekend, against Nantes 2-1, a third victory after those gleaned with character in Monaco 1-3 and Rennes 0-2. 9th in the ranking with already 14 points ahead of the virtual play-off, the outgoing Ligue 2 champion has practically validated his retention, the objective he set at the start of the season. He may even find himself dreaming of qualifying for a European Cup given the 4 lengths that separate him from the top 5.

By beating Le Havre by the smallest of margins 1-0 on the last day, Lens showed that its fall to Marseille 3-1 two weeks ago, putting an end to its record series of 10 victories in all competitions, did not deviate from its trajectory. Dispossessed of the leadership chair by PSG, the Artesian club is 2 points behind and ahead of its closest pursuer, OM, by 7 lengths. It has become a serious contender for qualification for the Champions League over the months and has the co-best defense of the year with PSG. Lens played a qualifier for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France on Wednesday at Troyes L2. Rennes is one of the Ligue 1 teams in difficulty at the start of the year.

Since its sad draw conceded at home against Le Havre 1-1, the Rouge et Noir club suffered the law of its Breton neighbor Lorient 0-2, still on its lawn, and was shattered in Monaco 4-0 last weekend. With one point taken out of 9 possible, he is relegated to 8 points from the top 4 and sees his chances of qualifying for the Champions League seriously diminishing. Rennes was unable to remobilize on Tuesday at the Vélodrome stadium. Led by OM from the 2nd minute and beaten 3-0, they left the Coupe de France at the round of 16 stage.

The weeks follow one another and are similar for FC Nantes, defeated last weekend in Lorient 2-1. Ahmed Kantari's players, however, thought they had done the hardest part by coming back to score before a second Lorient goal registered on the gong. Beaten in previous matches by Paris FC 1-2 and Nice 1-4, they therefore remain with 3 losses in the Championship and are sinking a little deeper into the crisis. 16th in Ligue 1, in place of virtual play-off, Nantes is 6 points behind the first non-relegation club.

 Winner last Sunday of a top-of-the-table shock against Lille 1-0, Lyon achieved a 10th consecutive victory, the 5th in Ligue 1 after those obtained against Le Havre 1-0, Monaco 1-3, Brest 2-1 and Metz 2-5. The Rhone club, which returned to the level of OM in 3rd after 20 days, continues its rise in the ranking and is applying for direct qualification for the next Champions League. OL were able to maintain their streak on Wednesday in the Coupe de France, when they hosted Laval L2 for a place in the quarter-finals.

Be careful not to miss out on their goals for AS Saint-Etienne. Announced as the huge favorite to reach Ligue 1 at the end of the season, this team has nevertheless been playing with fire for some time, losing numerous points against teams that are sometimes inferior on paper. Hung out by Le Mans 0-0, the Greens were then able to win against Clermont before falling to Reims 1-0 then to Boulogne 0-1. This led to the departure of coach Horneland who was replaced in recent days by Philippe Montanier. In the standings, the Forez players maintain 5th place but they only have a 2-point margin over their first pursuer.

Just like their opponent of the day, Montpellier played in the elite last season and also wants to be able to get back there fairly quickly. That said, nothing has yet been done for this team which is only in 9th place in the ranking, 3 units behind the Greens who are the last virtually qualified for the play-offs. After starting the year with 2 defeats against Dunkirk 1-3 and Boulogne 1-0, the Héraultais resumed their march forward over the last 2 weeks by winning against Bastia 0-2 then against Guingamp 3-1 last weekend. This week, they travel to Nice for a match in the 1/8 finals of the Coupe de France.

Often present in Europe in recent years, Friborg won the 7th final place last week in the league phase of the Europa League, which allows it to avoid the play-offs and to be able to play in the 1/8 finals next month. Good news for this team which will therefore be able to concentrate on the championship where it is not quite in the fight for the top 6. 7th in the ranking before the start of this 21st day, the Black Forest club is 8 points behind the 6th place occupied by Bayer Leverkusen. After being able to win against Cologne 2-1, the Brazilians from Brigsau were defeated last week by a good team from Stuttgart 1-0.

Opposite, Werder Bremen is right to be worried about its survival in the elite. Much less visible than in the last two seasons, this team is only in an uncomfortable 15th place in the standings, with only a small point ahead of the play-off team, Mainz. Very worrying since the winter break, the Werderaner have only taken 2 points in the last 5 days played against Dortmund 3-0, Frankfurt 3-3, Bayer Leverkusen 1-0, Hoffenheim 0-2 and finally Mönchengladbach 1-1 last weekend by equalizing after added time.

This does not look good for Heidenheim in the race to maintain. In great difficulty this season, the locals bring up the rear in the standings with only 13 points accumulated during the first 20 days played this season. Even more worrying, they are now 6 units behind the first non-relegation place after a still difficult start in 2026. As proof, the FCH has just suffered 3 defeats in its last 4 matches played against Mainz 2-1, Wolfsburg 1-1, Leipzig 0-3 and finally Dortmund 3-2 last weekend. Just like its opponent of the day, Hamburg is aiming for nothing other than maintaining this season. for his return to the elite after very long years of absence.

But unlike Heidenheim, the visitors did not jeopardize their chances of being able to achieve their objective. Indeed, the Hamburgers occupy 13th place in the ranking and they are therefore virtually in good transition times. That said, HSV cannot afford to relax as they only have a one-point lead over the jump-off. It must be said that this team has been moving slowly for some time since it has had a string of draws like against Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-0, Sankt Pauli 0-0 and Bayern Munich 2-2 last week.

While we thought they were very poorly engaged in the fight for maintenance a few weeks ago, this Mainz team is in the process of defying the prognosticators and regaining hope. Indeed, since the arrival at the helm of Urs Fischer, the FSV has shown itself to be much more solid and has just recorded 3 successes in the last 4 matches played against Heidenheim 2-1, Cologne defeated 2-1, Wolfsburg 3-1 and finally against Leipzig 1-2 last weekend. These excellent results have therefore allowed the Nullfünfer to move up to 16th place in the ranking and to be only a small point behind the first non-relegation team. Oppositely, Augsburg must also ensure that it maintains a margin in the red zone this season. Less prominent than last year, this team occupies 11th place in the ranking but it only has a 4-length margin over its opponent of the day.

Consequently, Sandro Wagner's men do not really have the opportunity to relax their grip in this second part of the exercise. However, things have been going quite well lately for the Bavarians who have not lost in 4 games. And after being held in check by Union Berlin 1-1 and by Friborg 2-2, they had two very important successes against Bayern 1-2 and against Sankt Pauli 2-1.

Back in the Bundesliga since last year, Sankt Pauli will have to seriously roll up their sleeves to maintain their place among the elite of German football. Indeed, before the start of this 21st day, this team is only in 17th place in the ranking and is 5 units behind the first non-relegation team. Far too average in a lot of areas of the game, the Pirates of the League have still not won in 2026. And after being able to hold off Hamburg 0-0 and Leipzig 1-1, they lost last week at Augsburg 2-1. This week, the club from the popular districts of Hamburg faced Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals of the German Cup.

Just like its opponent of the day, Stuttgart was on deck in the German Cup this week with a seemingly affordable meeting against Holstein Kiel, residents of the 2nd division. In the championship on the other hand, everything is going well for VfB which is at the foot of the podium, 3 points behind 3rd, Hoffenheim. In great shape at the start of 2026, the visitors won 4 of their first 5 league matches against Bayer Leverkusen 1-4, Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2, Union Berlin 1-1, Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-3 and Freiburg 1-0 last weekend.

Without possible dispute, Wolfsburg ranks among the big disappointments of this 2025-2026 financial year across the Rhine. Largely below the expectations of observers and its supporters, this team is only in 14th position in the Bundesliga standings, very far from the race for European places. Even more worrying, the VfL only has a single small point margin over the barrage, Mainz. After beating Sankt Pauli 2-1, the Wolves were held to a draw by Heidenheim 1-1 before posting 2 defeats in a row against Mainz 3-1 and Cologne 1-0 last week. Far from all these problems linked to maintaining, Borussia Dortmund is proving rather convincing this season.

If the title of champion seems promised to Bayern Munich, the BVB is firmly clinging to 2nd place in the ranking, 6 lengths behind the Bavarians who have nevertheless let slip a few points along the way recently. Niko Kovac's men have won their last 4 league matches against Werder Bremen 3-0, Sankt Pauli 3-2, Union Berlin 0-3 and finally against Heidenheim 3-2 last week. At the same time, in the Champions League, Borussen only took 17th place in the league stage after losing to Inter 0-2 last week. They will therefore face Atalanta in the play-offs.

In a difficult situation this season, Fiorentina is currently 18th in Serie A and is 1 point behind the first non-relegation team. The Tuscans have recently raised their level by posting four matches without a loss, 2 wins and 2 draws. On the other hand, they have since restarted a bad dynamic. La Viola was surprised at home by Cagliari 1-2 before losing, more logically, in the lair of Napoli last weekend 2-1. In the Conference League, Fiorentina finished in 15th place and will face Jagiellonia in the play-offs.

Torino is now 13th in Serie A with 9 points ahead of its opponent of the day. Nikola Vlasic's teammates moved dangerously close to the relegation zone in January. Indeed, they suffered four losses against Udinese 1-2, Atalanta 2-0, Roma 0-2 and Como 6-0. On the other hand, the victory won at home against poorly ranked Lecce last weekend 1-0 allowed them to gain some air in the standings.

Genoa is currently 14th in Serie A and is 6 points ahead of the first relegation place. Authors of a particularly worrying start to the championship, Ruslan Malinovskyi's teammates have considerably raised their level following the arrival on the bench of Daniele De Rossi. After going five games without defeat, 2 wins and 3 draws, they suffered a setback last weekend. Without merit, Genoa lost in the lair of Lazio following a goal conceded at the end of added time 3-2. A time in the fight for the Scudetto, Napoli is now out.

Indeed, Napoli occupies 3rd place in Serie A with 9 points behind the leader and 3 ahead of 5th place, not qualifying for the next Champions League. Antonio Conte's men have won only 2 of their last 6 league matches, with 3 draws and 1 defeat. After a heavy setback at Juventus 3-0, they reacted by dominating Fiorentina last weekend 2-1. Disappointing 30th in the Champions League, Napoli is eliminated.

During the week, Lamine Yamal's Barça booked their ticket to the last four of the Copa del Rey by winning at Albacete 1-2, defeating Real Madrid in the 1/8th final. A success which took time to emerge for the Blaugrana who had just beaten Elche at Martinez Valero in Liga 1-3, with again, an excellent Lamine Yamal. Thanks to a well-distributed score and a team on point, Barcelona still holds the reins of La Liga and has won 11 of its last 12 matches in the elite. The last two matches played at home ended with victories full of panache obtained against Copenhagen in C1 4-1 and against the red lantern of Liga, Real Oviedo 3-0. In Mallorca, the sky seems to be clearing since the Mallorcan players have won 2 of their last 3 matches in Liga, against Athletic Bilbao 3-2 and last weekend with style for the reception of Sevilla FC 4-1.

Before this nice run, the Majorcans remained in 3 days of the championship without the slightest victory including 2 defeats in quick succession for the reception of Girona 1-2 and on the turf of Rayo Vallecano 2-1. Having moved up to 14th place in La Liga, RCD Mallorca will still have to rectify an essential point in the coming weeks, its lack of positive away results. The men of Arrasate have in fact lost 5 of their last 8 matches in all competitions on the road, including an elimination in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey on the pitch of Deportivo La Corogne.

On Real Madrid's pitch last weekend, Rayo Vallecano accumulated a third successive defeat in the league 2-1 after a very long injury time. Before that, the local players lost at home to Osasuna 1-3 and at Celta Vigo 3-0. This bad dynamic started on the pitch of Deportivo Alaves, where Rayo was eliminated in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey 2-0. In the standings, the Madrid team is now virtually relegated and therefore finds itself in great danger. Deprived of victory for 14 days, Real Oviedo managed to stop this bad phase by winning against Girona last weekend 1-0.

However, it will take much more to achieve maintenance. Indeed, the promoted team is still in last place in the ranking with 7 lengths behind Getafe, the first non-relegation team at the start of this 23rd day. Before their victory against the Blanquivermells of Girona, the red lantern remained on two consecutive losses in La Liga, against Barcelona 3-0 and on the Osasuna turf 3-2.

Facing Athletic Bilbao last weekend in a heated derby at the San Mamés, Real Sociedad added a 6th unbeaten match to their 1-1 La Liga unbeaten run. The Basques have been doing much better for several weeks, and even undefeated in 2026 in all competitions. It remains to be seen whether these lines will age poorly, since during the week, Mikel Oyarzabal's partners traveled to Alaves for a quarter-final of the Copa del Rey, result to follow. Coming back to the championship, Sociedad occupies 8th place. Before their draw in Bilbao, the local team had gleaned three victories in a row in the elite, against Getafe 1-2, Barcelona 2-1 and Celta Vigo 3-1. Opposite, Elche is making its way in the league.

Evolving only to ensure their maintenance following their return to the elite after two seasons at the lower level, the Franjiverdes finally realized that they could annoy more than one team, particularly at home, where until January 3, they were still undefeated but Villarreal broke this losing streak 1-3. Last weekend, again at home, Elche quite logically succumbed to the offensive force of Barça in a 1-3 defeat. A second successive defeat after that suffered at Levante in a clash between promoted teams 3-2. Casually, after a breathtaking start to the season, Elche is falling into line somewhat and is still chasing its first victory in 2026.

The seasons follow one another and are similar for Seville, once again very disappointing on many levels and with no prospect of development. Last weekend, at Palma de Mallorca, Sevilla were extinguished with a clear 4-1 defeat. Only 1 victory in the previous 6 days in La Liga, and above all 3 other defeats to mention, against Vigo 0-1, Levante 0-3 and at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid 2-0. Matias Almeyda's men are 15th in La Liga, under the growing threat of the red zone.

Starting the season timidly, Girona has since left the red zone and is even considering returning to the top 10. 12th in the early morning, the Catalan team even lost its place in this top 10 in La Liga by conceding defeat to Oviedo last weekend 1-0, thus ending its great unbeaten streak of four games including three victories against Mallorca 1-2, Osasuna 1-0 and on the pitch of Espanyol Barcelona 0-2.

Well wedged in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Brighton today occupies 13th place in the Premier League with 9 points behind the last European folding seat and 11 ahead of the first relegation place. The Seagulls have been moving slowly for several weeks. Indeed, they have won only one of their last 11 league matches, for 6 draws and 4 defeats. The only success was acquired against relegated Burnley in early January 2-0. After losing to Fulham 2-1, Brighton were held to a draw at home by Everton last weekend 1-1. Crystal Palace is currently 15th in the Premier League and is 2 points behind its opponent of the day.

A time in the fight for Europe, the London team has seriously marked time for some time. Indeed, the Eagles have not pocketed a victory in the last nine days, 3 draws and 6 defeats. Beaten by Sunderland 2-1 and Chelsea 1-3, they then took a point away from Nottingham Forest last weekend 1-1. In the Conference League, Crystal Palace had to settle for 10th place and will face Zrinjski in a play-off.

For Liverpool, defenders Bradly, Gomez and Leoni fill the ranks of the infirmary alongside the disappointing striker Isak. On the other hand, absent in the last three matches, French international Konaté is back this Saturday while full-back Frimpong was injured this week. Scorer on the last day, midfielder Szoboslai (3 goals and 2 assists in PL) is available, as is playmaker Wirtz (3 goals in PL), who has been gaining momentum in recent weeks. To appear in the offensive sector, Salah (4 goals and 4 assists in PL), Gakpo (5 goals and 3 assists in PL) and Ekitike (8 goals and 2 assists in PL) are applying. The latter was a substitute against Bournemouth. Manchester City must deal with the withdrawals of the important defender Gvardiol, the long-term absentee Kovacic and the experienced defender Stones. In addition, wingers Savinho and Doku more recently joined the Mancunian infirmary from which central manager Ruben Dias (uncertain this Sunday) could emerge.

Suspended in C1 on Wednesday, Rodri is available again. In sight since his arrival but not qualified in C1, winger Semenyo (11 goals and 3 assists in PL) found the net last weekend as did striker Marmoush (1 goal in PL). Erling Haaland (20 goals and 4 assists in the PL) should find a starting place. The other attackers Cherki (2 goals and 7 assists in PL) and Foden (7 goals and 2 assists in PL) are also available. This winter, the Skyblues grabbed winger Semenyo (Bournemouth) and defender Guehi (Crystal Palace) but gave up Norwegian winger Bobb (Fulham).

Retained in the soft underbelly of the ranking, in 11th place, Angers has for the moment no worries about its maintenance given its significant lead over the relegated. The SCO, however, waited a month of competition to achieve its first victory of the year in Ligue 1, last weekend against the red lantern Metz 1-0, after setbacks at Le Havre 2-1 and against Marseille 2-5 followed by a draw on the lawn of Paris FC 0-0. Held in check by the relegated Auxerre 0-0, Toulouse nevertheless remains a team in good form in Ligue 1. It suffered its only defeat in the last 7 Championship matches at the start of the year against Lens 0-3 and found color in the process against Nice and Brest, victories 5-1 and 0-2, moving up to 8th place in the ranking.

The first weeks of the new year also saw the qualification of Toulouse for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, in Angers 1-1, 5-6 TAB. They hosted Amiens L2 on Wednesday for a place in the quarterfinals.

The final sprint for maintenance is already launched for Auxerre, penultimate with a disbursement of 7 points on the first non-relegation club. Still a significant delay despite their recent 0-0 draw in Toulouse. Stuck in the relegation zone for many weeks, AJA suffered 4 defeats in the Championship, including at the start of the year against Brest 2-0, Lens 1-0 and PSG 0-1. The worst attack in Ligue 1 has not yet scored in 2026. Paris FC gave itself some breathing room at the start of the year in the race to maintain itself, with 3 games in a row without defeat in Ligue 1.

The promoted team got the better of a direct competitor, Nantes 1-2 and was neutralized by Angers 0-0 before depriving Marseille of a victory on the gong 2-2, a match in which it trailed by two goals at the end. 82nd minute. 14th, the Ile-de-France club is ahead of the virtual play-off by 7 points, and traveled to Lorient on Wednesday in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.

Le Havre rediscovered the taste of defeat on the last day, on the lawn of RC Lens 1-0. The Norman club thus suffered its first setback of the year in the Championship, having taken three points against Angers 2-1 and neutralizing Rennes 1-1 and Monaco 0-0, top-of-the-table opponents. This series of good results allowed him to do well in the fight for maintenance. 15th in the standings, Le Havre are ahead of the virtual barrage by 6 points but will have to reproduce performances of this type to find definitive shelter. For its part, Strasbourg is getting closer to the qualifying seats for Europe as the weeks go by.

Diego Moreira and his teammates won the derby against Metz 2-1 and shattered LOSC 1-4 before losing with a short header against PSG 1-2 last Sunday. Winner of 3 of its first 4 matches under the direction of its new coach Gary O'Neil, Racing ranks virtually 7th, 2 points from the top 5. It had a lot to do on Thursday on its lawn against Monaco, with a place in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France up for grabs.

Failing to not know how to win, Nice limited the damage last weekend by overcoming a two-goal deficit against Brest 2-2. Authoritative winners in Nantes 1-4 during the previous match, the Aiglons, 13th with 8 lengths ahead of the virtual play-off, therefore confirm their revival under Claude Puel, they who had not fielded two Championship matches without defeat since October. They have since validated their qualification for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France against Montpellier 3-2. Trailing again by 2 goals, Wednesday on their lawn, the Nice players overthrew the Ligue 2 formation to their advantage in the last quarter of an hour. Without an idea in Le Havre 0-0 and more eye-catching in the Champions League against Juventus 0-0, thus qualifying for the play-offs, Monaco in 10th returned to the Championship brilliantly last weekend.

The Principality club, which had won a victory over the previous 9 days (1 draw, 7 defeats), emerged from the crisis by crushing Stade Rennais 4-0. However, he is paying for his poor form in the standings, having been relegated to 10th place, and above all, 12 points from the top 4. Sébastien Pocognoli's players will therefore have the greatest difficulty in catching up in the race to qualify for the next Champions League. They could at least confirm their return to the forefront on Thursday on the lawn of Strasbourg, in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.

Leader at the start of the 21st day, PSG came out with difficulty in Strasbourg 1-2 after having already triumphed with a goal at relegated Auxerre 0-1. With 6 consecutive victories in Ligue 1, the French champion has the co-best defense and the second attack in the event. He experienced his last hiccups in the other tables, starting with the Coupe de France, then surprised on his lawn by Paris FC in the round of 16 0-1. As for the Champions League, the title holders fell out of the top 8 in the league stage last month after being held to a draw by Newcastle 1-1 and will have to go through the play-offs. It will face AS Monaco at this stage of the competition, with the first leg scheduled for February 17 in the Principality. Marseille experienced a final week of chaos.

Heavily defeated at Club Bruges 3-0, the Marseille club left the Champions League in the league phase and was unable to react in the Championship, on the lawn of Paris FC 2-2. Yet ahead by 2 goals in the last quarter of an hour, he failed twice in quick succession and carried out a very bad operation in the race for 2nd place since a gap of 7 points widened with Lens 2nd. Above all, the Marseillais complete the podium thanks to a favorable goal difference over Lyon, which came back up to par. Expected to turn the corner in the Coupe de France after these last major poor performances, they reached the quarter-finals at the expense of Stade Rennais 3-0 this week at the Stade Vélodrome.

Absolutely ruthless in the first part of the season, Bayern Munich swept away practically everything in their path, whether in the Champions League where they took 2nd place in the league phase, or in the championship where Vincent Kompany's players quickly took control of the rankings by widening the gap with the competition. However, the Bavarians have just experienced 2 consecutive problems in the championship. The first during the derby against Augsburg 1-2, the second during their trip to Hamburg 2-2 last weekend. In the meantime, the Munich residents were still able to win against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League 1-2. Following these two missteps, Bayern remains well at the top of the ranking but it is now "only" 6 lengths ahead of Borussia Dortmund.

 On the other side of the median, we probably didn't expect Hoffenheim to be at this level this season. Kept on the edge last season, this team now finds itself on the 3rd step of the podium with 42 points taken in 20 days. Better yet, Christian Ilzer's men have been walking on water since the winter break since they have won their 5 matches played in 2026, against Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1, Bayer Leverkusen 1-0, Eintracht Frankfurt 1-3, Werder Bremen 0-2 and Union Berlin 3-1. Thanks to this series, the TSG players came back to 3 lengths from 2nd place.

Not at the expected level this season, Bologna now occupies 10th place in Serie A with 11 units of expenditure on the last European folding seat. A narrow victory acquired on the pitch of Hellas Verona in mid-January 2-3 put an end to a bad series of seven games without winning, 3 draws and 4 defeats. Since then, the Rossoblu have restarted a negative dynamic. Indeed, they remain on three losses suffered against Fiorentina 1-2, Genoa 3-2 and AC Milan on Tuesday evening 0-3. 10th in the Europa League, Bologna will face Brann Bergen in the play-off.

Expected in the fight not to go down this season, Parma is currently 16th in Serie A and is 6 points ahead of the first relegation place. Carlos Cuesta's men have been moving slowly for several weeks. Thus, they have only pocketed one victory in the last 7 days, for 3 draws and 3 defeats. After being held to a draw at home by Genoa 0-0, Parma was no match for Atalanta 4-0 and Juventus last weekend 1-4. 

Read more..

Eager to qualify for the next Champions League, Juventus is currently 4th in Serie A and is 2 points ahead of 5th place. The Old Lady had a sluggish start to the championship but the arrival on the bench of Luciano Spalletti made it possible to find the right fuel. Confidently, the Bianconeri have only conceded one setback in the last 9 days, for 7 victories and 1 draw. After losing to Cagliari 1-0, they easily got the better of Napoli 3-0 and Parma last weekend 1-4. 13th in the Champions League, the Piedmontese team will face Galatasaray in the play-off. Lazio today occupies 8th place in Serie A with 9 points out of 6th place.

Maurizio Sarri's gang will have to work hard to get back into the race for Europe. The Bianconeri are showing too many limits at the moment. Indeed, they have only won 2 of their last 8 league matches, for 4 draws and 2 defeats. Dryly beaten by Como 0-3, Lazio was then held to a draw at Lecce 0-0 before overcoming Genoa last weekend thanks to a goal scored at the end of added time 3-2.

Fully engaged in the fight for maintenance this season, Lecce is currently 17th in Serie A and is 1 point ahead of the first relegation place. Eusebio Di Francesco's men picked up their last victory against relegated Pisa in December 1-0. On the tough side, they have just gone eight games without winning, 2 draws and 6 defeats. After creating a surprise by holding off Lazio 0-0, Lecce did not do poorly but lost on the Torino pitch last weekend 1-0. Udinese has made a rather good impression this season and today occupies 9th place in Serie A, although, nevertheless, 9 lengths behind the last European folding seat.

With confidence, the Friulians have won 3 of their last 5 championship matches, for 1 draw and 1 defeat. The setback was suffered at home against the leader, Inter 0-1. After this result, Udinese resumed its march forward by taking over Hellas Verona 1-3 and Roma last Monday 1-0.

Back in the elite this season, Sassuolo quickly distanced itself from the fight for maintenance. The promoted team now occupies 11th place in Serie A with 12 points behind the last European jumper and 12 ahead of the first relegation. Fabio Grosso's men have stalled with a string of seven games without a win, 3 draws and 4 defeats. On the other hand, they took advantage of a favorable schedule to react during the last two days. Sassuolo won against Cremonese 1-0 and Pisa last weekend 1-3. Serie A leader with 5 points ahead of their closest pursuer, Inter is today considered the favorite to win the Scudetto.

The Nerazzurri lost, in front of their fans, against AC Milan at the end of November 0-1. On the other hand, they have not tasted defeat in the league since 10 wins and 1 draw. After being held in check at home by Napoli 2-2, Christian Chivu's gang in turn won against Lecce 1-0, Udinese 0-1, Pisa 6-2 and Cremonese last weekend 0-2. In the Champions League, Inter won in 10th place and will face Bodo/Glimt in the play-off.

Deportivo Alaves won their previous two La Liga matches against Betis Sevilla 2-1 and by the same score last weekend at Espanyol Barcelona 1-2. 2 victories which allowed the Basques to return to the 10th seat of the elite. During the week, as confident as possible, Deportivo Alaves hosted Real Sociedad as part of a 1/4 final of the Copa del Rey result to come. No Copa del Rey for Getafe which was knocked out in the round of 16 by Burgos, 2nd division opponent 3-1.

Before this setback in the CdR, the Azulones had conceded two successive defeats in the league against Villarreal 2-0 and for the coming of Espanyol Barcelona 0-1. Suffice to say that habits have not changed since then for Getafe, who went 6 days without finding the key to success, even losing three times against Bétis 4-0, Real Sociedad 1-2 and by the smallest of margins against Valencia 0-1. To date, Bordelas' men have accumulated two draws on the lawn of Girona 1-1 and last weekend at home against Celta Vigo without visiting 0-0.

When will Athletic Bilbao's negative streak end in La Liga? 4th in the last financial year, the Basque club is only 11th in La Liga at the start of this D23 and has not won in the league for 6 days for a terrible record of 4 defeats and 2 draws. The defeats were against Celta Vigo 2-0, Espanyol Barcelona 1-2, Mallorca 3-2 and on the turf of Sevilla FC 2-1. Last weekend, everything was there at home to find a smile against Real Sociedad, but the players once again ruined everything 1-1. Note also the elimination in the Champions League from the league phase. During the week, the Lions were clearly playing their season in Valencia with a quarter-final of the Copa del Rey, result to follow.

Opposite, Levante drew a line under the Copa del Rey for a while now by being eliminated in the 1/16 finals by Cultural Leonesa. The challenge for the Granotes is clearly not buried in the cup but in the fight to remain in D1 in order to avoid getting back into the ascendancy. By winning against Elche 3-2 and able to hold Atlético Madrid at home last weekend 0-0, Levante moved slightly closer to leaving the red zone but it will still take much more to come out 5 points behind Getafe!. More generally, the team located in the Valencia region has lost only one of its last six matches in La Liga 2v, 3d, 1d.

In the absence department, midfielders Amrabat, Isco and Lo Celso are injured and will miss this big meeting like full-back Bellerin and top scorer Cucho Hernandez (8 goals, 3 assists in La Liga). In his absence, Cédric Bakambu could have taken advantage to gain a little playing time but ultimately, it is the Argentinian Chimy Avila who starts the matches. Avila also scored against Valencia last weekend as did Pablo Fornals (ex-West Ham). The precious Antony and Ezzalzouli will be at the disposal of Mr. Pellegrini like Deossa, Ruibal, Roca and Altimira. Returns announced for full-back Junior Firpo and winger Riquelme. Terrible hiccups for Diego Simeone who will not be able to rely on the valiant A.

Sörloth (7 goals in La Liga), who was injured against Levante. The latter was in very good form, much better than that of Julian Alvarez, unable to score in the league since November 1. Still in the absence department, the only scorer in the 1/8 final against La Coruna, Antoine Griezmann, (muscle injury) and the coach's son Giuliano Simeone (illness) were out of the trip to Levante and uncertain today. During the transfer window, the managers sold Gallagher to Tottenham and Raspadori did not last long in Spain (Atalanta). Conversely, they signed the talented Rodrigo Mendoza from Elche and the very serious Lookman (Atalanta).

During the week, Valencia experienced an end to the road in the Copa del Rey by losing at home against Athletic Bilbao in the quarter-final stage 1-2. The Chés were clearly playing their season in this cup since in La Liga, once again, the season is very difficult on many levels. On the previous day, Carlos Corberan's men lost to Betis Sevilla 2-1. A defeat which put a stop to the start of the good momentum of the Valencians, authors of 2 successive successes in the elite against Getafe 0-1 and Espanyol Barcelona 3-2. In the standings, Valencia occupied 16th place at the start of this 23rd day. No Copa del Rey during the week for Real Madrid who were prematurely eliminated from the competition by Albacete in the 1/8th final, losing 3-2.

Not worse in the end for a very ill Madrid team, which took advantage of this week of recovery to work physically with the excellent Pintus and avoid possible further disillusionment against Barcelona's opponent Albacete in the 1/4 final. In the championship, despite the alerts in the game and the content, Casa Blanca occupies 2nd place, still behind Barça. Last weekend, beating Rayo Vallecano in the final moments of the match 2-1 victory, Real Madrid scored a 6th success in a row within the elite. As a reminder, during February, the capital's players will play a Champions League play-off, like last year, this time against Benfica against whom they previously lost in C1 4-2.

Amiens' future prospects in Ligue 2 are dotted. Indeed, this team is clearly playing with fire this season since it only occupies 16th place in the ranking which would be synonymous with a play-off on the evening of the last day. In great difficulty for many months, Omar Daf's players have only achieved one success over the last 10 days. Recently, the Picards had been dominated by Nancy 1-2 and by Annecy 2-0 before taking a point against Laval 0-0. But last weekend, they had to give up again against Grenoble 2-1. This week, the Amiens are going to Toulouse in the Coupe de France.

For their part, Clermont Foot is not yet sure of being able to play in Ligue 2 next season either. Stuck in the 2nd part of the table, this team only occupies 14th place in the ranking with a lead of only 3 points over its opponent of the day who is therefore the first to be relegated. After having achieved a great success against Laval 4-1 for their debut in 2026, the Auvergnats then suffered 3 defeats in a row. First against Saint-Etienne 1-0 then against Annecy 2-1. Finally, last week, it was against Reims that Clermontois had to lose 0-1.

After years spent outside the Top 4 of Serie A, Roma aims to end its drought this season in order to replay the Champions League.
