Blackburn are playing with fire at the bottom of the table, having only 4 points ahead of Oxford, first in relegation. 4 days before the end of the season in the Championship, Rovers played a crucial match during the week on the pitch of the team not taken in recent weeks in England: Southampton. Depending on the result, either Blackburn will have managed to pile up a sixth game unbeaten run in the league after wins over Millwall 1-2 and Birmingham 0-1 and drawing parity with Middlesbrough 0-0, West Brom 0-0 and Stoke City on the road 1-1, or they will find defeat.  Coventry did not play during the week, but their runner-up Ipswich did.

Leader of the Championship, Coventry was 2 days ahead of Ipswich, who could have returned to 7 points in the event of a victory during the week. Coventry still has plenty to see ahead, especially as missteps are rare against them, despite their two recent draws without a visit against Hull City 0-0 and a little more surprisingly against Sheffield Wed last weekend 0-0. Only one defeat in the last 12 performances for Coventry, winner of 8 matches in the heart of this series, half of which were away on the lawns of West Brom 0-2, Sheffield United 1-2, Bristol City 0-2 and in style against Swansea 0-3.

Well installed in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Pau FC can approach these last days without real pressure. Having dropped out of the race for the play-offs and already assured of its continuation, this team can therefore calmly await the outcome of this exercise. Despite this observation, Thierry Debès' players seem to remain concerned by these last posters of the season and they have only lost one of their last 5 matches. It was against Le Mans 4-0 on April 6. The Béarnais still reacted rather well by winning in numerical superiority against an Amiens team which nevertheless played its skin 0-1.

Guingamp, for its part is in a very similar situation to that of its opponent of the day. Unlike last year when it was in the fight for a place in the play-offs, En Avant has had to lower its ambitions this season since it now finds itself in 11th place in the ranking, far from the battle for potential accession to the elite. Since their last success at home against Amiens 1-0, the Bretons have been dominated by Reims 0-2 and by Annecy 1-0 before having to share the points with Grenoble last week after another unconvincing 1-1 performance.

On the Inter side, potential starting defender Bisseck is missing, injured. Hard blow also with the injury of top scorer Lautaro Martinez (16 goals) who is out today. However, no other absences are to be deplored since the interesting left-back Carlos Augusto is no longer suspended. The last day was marked by the return from injury of captain Lautaro Martinez (16 goals and 4 assists in SA), who stood out with a double. He was associated with Marcus Thuram (8 goals and 5 assists in SA), who also scored as did important midfielders Calhanoglu (9 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Barella (2 goals and 6 assists in SA). Particularly in view on his left side, the piston Dimarco (6 goals and 14 assists in SA) is available.

For this meeting, the Cagliari coach remains deprived of potential starters Idrissi (defender) and Felici (midfielder) as well as striker Pavoletti, injured. On the other hand, senior defender Dossena is back from suspension. The influential Esposito (5 goals and 5 assists in SA) scored on the last day. He was supported by Gaetano (2 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Folorunsho (2 goals in SA) while the attackers Kiliscoy (4 goals in SA) and Borrelli (3 goals in SA) came into play. Also note the presence of Italian international full-back Palestra (4 assists in SA). The probable line-ups for Inter – Cagliari:

On the Sassuolo side, the potentially starting defender Candé is missing as well as the replacements Pieragnolo (side) and Boloca (midfield), insufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Arriving from OM this winter, left back Garcia scored on the last day. This is also the case for the important striker Pinamonti (8 goals and 3 assists in SA). He could still be supported by wingers Berardi (7 goals and 4 assists in SA) and Laurienté (5 goals and 7 assists in SA). For this meeting, the Como coach should recover the usual starters Ramon (defender) and Jesus Rodriguez (winger) who are announced to return.

It is also necessary to mention the withdrawal of replacement winger Addai (3 goals in 12 SA matches), whose season is already over. The influential Nico Paz (10 goals and 6 assists in SA) and Douvikas (11 goals in SA) play a leading role in this formation. Wingers Diao (1 goal in SA) and Baturina (6 goals and 3 assists in SA) apply to complete the attacking trio. Note that Como has the best defense in the championship. The probable line-ups for Sassuolo – Como:

With 33 points, Rio Ave can consider a success this evening and thus provisionally take a place in the top 10 while awaiting the results of the main candidates like Alverca, Moreirense and the disappointing Guimaraes. Last weekend, Rio Ave reacted perfectly to its defeat against Alverca 1-2 by winning on the Santa Clara turf 0-2. Before this home defeat against Alverca, the local team had recorded 3 victories against Estoril 1-2, Estrela 2-1 and on the Tondela pitch 0-1. Clearly, Rio Ave has won 4 of its last 5 matches in the league. On the other side of the median, AFS occupies, as it has for many weeks, last place in the ranking.

To maintain itself, AFS must collect 15 points with 5 matches remaining, i.e. a maximum of 15 points to collect. Flat, how can a team with only 1 victory since the start of the season in the 1v, 9d, 19d championship win 5 in the space of 5 matches? Last weekend, at home, the visiting team held Guimaraes to a 1-1 draw, a good week after Gil Vicente's 3-0 disappointment on the pitch.

The Angers famine continued last Saturday in Rennes. Having started their match badly, the SCO was defeated by a goal 2-1 and has a fourth match in a row without a win, 1 draw, 3 defeats, a week after having neutralized Lyon 0-0. He ranks virtually 13th before the matches of the 30th day and maintains a probably sufficient lead of 9 points over the play-off player while there will remain three matches to play after the reception of Le Havre. For its part, Le Havre 14th thought it had done the hard part by opening the score in Nice but saw its opponent equalize and escape with the point of a 1-1 draw, the third in 4 matches after those obtained a month ago against Lyon 0-0 and against Auxerre 1-1 at the start of the month.

Able to regularly feed its meter, the Norman club has moved away from the red zone in recent weeks and is ahead of the barrage by 5 units. However, nothing is decided for Le Havre who will travel to Lille and host Marseille on the 32nd and 33rd days.

Leader of Ligue 1 by 4 points ahead of Lens, while having played one match less than its runner-up, PSG stood out in the title race after having been challenged for a long time by the Sang et Or. The French champion, who also has the best attack and the benchmark defense in the Championship, remains on 6 victories. Among them, he obtained two in Ligue 1, before the March break in Nice 0-4 and two weeks ago at the Parc des Princes against Toulouse 3-1. The Parisians have since been authoritarian in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Liverpool 4-0 on aggregate, whom they beat this week at Anfield 0-2. The defending champion will face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, with a first leg scheduled for Tuesday April 28 at home.

 For its part, Lyon 5th put an end to a drought of two months without a victory, last Sunday against Lorient 2-0, after having fueled this poor form with 3 draws and 3 defeats in Ligue 1. Defeated by Monaco 1-2 and hanging on to Angers 0-0 during its previous outings, OL capitalized on its long series of victories recorded between the months of December and February to remain a major player in the race for the podium. Eager to return to the Champions League without going through the play-offs, the Rhone club is 2 points behind the leading trio and follows the top 4 by one unit. Paulo Fonseca and his players will still have 4 matches to play after this one including the receptions of Rennes and Lens, other teams at the top of the table.

This 2025-2026 season will clearly not have been a cakewalk for this Borussia Mönchengladbach team. Never able to support the best in the race for European places, this team even finds itself in the second half of the table, in 14th place, before these last 5 days. Eugen Polanski's men are only 5 points ahead of the play-off, Sankt Pauli, at the start of this 30th episode of the season. Since their last success against Sankt Pauli precisely 2-0, the Poulains had to be satisfied with draws against Cologne 3-3 and Heidenheim 2-2 and they were logically dominated by a Leipzig team in great form last weekend 1-0. Mainz, for its part, should indeed be able to play in the Bundesliga next season.

After a more than difficult start to the season, the visitors re-mobilized well with the arrival at the helm of Urs Fischer's team who was able to get his players out of the red zone to lead them to 9th place in the ranking, with 3 points ahead of their opponent of the day. Capable of winning 3 victories in a row against Werder Bremen 0-2, Frankfurt 2-1 and Hoffenheim 1-2, FSV was however stopped in its tracks by Friborg 0-1 last weekend. At the same time, Mainz had taken a good chance of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Conference League after winning their first leg against Strasbourg 2-0 last week. But this team was unable to counter the thunderous return of Racing at Meinau on Thursday evening and it finally lost very heavily 4-0 to finally take the door in the 1/4 finals.

4th in Serie A with 2 points ahead of 5th place, Juventus will have to work hard to take part in the next Champions League. The recent dynamic gives cause for optimism since the Bianconeri have not lost any of their last six league games, 4 wins and 2 draws. This great series began following the elimination against Galatasaray during the Champions League play-off. After being held to a draw by Sassuolo at home 1-1, Juventus won against Genoa 2-0 and at Atalanta last weekend 0-1.

 Expected in the battle for Europe this season, Bologna did not meet expectations and occupies 8th place in Serie A with 9 units of spending on 6th place. The Rossoblu have regained their colors in recent weeks, as evidenced by the 6 victories obtained during the last 8 days, for 2 defeats. Beaten at home by Lazio 0-2, they then showed their superiority against poorly ranked Cremonese 1-2 and Lecce last weekend 2-0.

In great difficulty throughout the season, Hellas can hardly believe in their chances of remaining with only 6 matches remaining. The Veronese are currently 19th in Serie A and are 9 points behind the first non-relegation team. They put an end to a very bad dynamic by winning, to everyone's surprise, in Bologna at the beginning of March 1-2. Hellas has fallen back into its bad ways since then with setbacks suffered against Genoa 0-2, Atalanta 1-0, Fiorentina 0-1 and Torino last weekend 2-1. AC Milan today occupies 3rd place in Serie A, 5 points ahead of 5th place.

Once in the fight for the Scudetto, the Rossoneri have stalled for a few weeks and will ultimately have to work to access the next Champions League. They have disappointed recently by losing 3 of their last 4 league matches, for 1 victory. Falling to Torino at home 3-2, AC Milan otherwise lost to Lazio 1-0, Napoli 1-0 and Udinese last weekend 0-3.

Gaziantep, 11th, no longer plays anything in the championship except to grab a place among the places of honor in the top 10. We cannot hope for better by winning only one of their last 16 matches in the elite. Since its victory against Antalyaspor 1-4, GFK has had 3 matches without success including 2 defeats on the lawns of Fenerbahce 4-1 and during the previous day on the field of Rizespor 2-1. Meanwhile, the local team was held to a draw by Alanyaspor 1-1.  On the other side of the median, Kayserispor is asleep at the bottom of the table but can still enjoy a position between now and the last day.

First relegated by occupying 16th place in the ranking, Kayserispor, with 23 points, is only two lengths behind Genclerbirligi. Away, the visiting players have not won since the 14th day, at the end of November. To date, they have lost their last two games on the road against Samsunspor 2-1 and Kasimpasa Apaches 2-0. During the previous day, Kayserispor had no say in receiving Fenerbahce 0-4.
