Barcelona Face Valencia In Copa Del Rey Final

The curtain is set to come down on the Spanish football season this weekend, and what a season it has been. In terms of European competition it’s fair to say that the nation has been knocked off of its perch, although interestingly enough, both of the teams involved in this cup final were able to reach the semi finals of their respective competitions – something that nobody else managed in Spain. Still, we aren’t here to talk about that,

Champions league 2018-19 Starts Here for Many Teams

Monaco Look Good Value for Final Day Win in France

The final day of the Ligue 1 season is upon us, and on Friday night the clubs will take to the field for the final game of the regular season. Amongst those playing are Monaco, who have not had the easiest of seasons so far, but to be fair to them they have improved as time has passed, and the second half of the season has been much better than the first. They travel to Nice on the final day of the season,

Should big clubs be playing much smaller clubs in their pre-season friendlies?

Dundee United to Get Back Into Scottish Premiership

A game between two clubs who spent the season in different divisions in Scotland, with the prize for the winner being a year in the top flight. St Mirren played in the Premiership last season, but ended up in the relegation playoff place after a poor campaign. Dundee United had a successful season in the Scottish Championship, although they couldn’t quite get automatic promotion, and eventually finished second in the league to bag a playoff spot.

What Does the Future Hold for Gareth Bale?

We could have a few big transfers this summer if you believe the rumour mill. One of the biggest looks set to be the move of Gareth Bale, with his destination currently unknown. Bale has had a troubled time in Real Madrid, which is strange as he has been there during a very successful period for them. They have won three Champions League titles during his time at the club, with Bale scoring in two of the finals.

Home Advantage to Secure Playoff Final for Paris FC

A huge night awaits both Paris FC and Lens on Tuesday. After a hard fought battle at the end of the Ligue 2 season, and three wins on the bounce to end their campaigns, both clubs have the chance to make the playoff final on Friday. The winner of that game will then go on to play for a place in Ligue 1, but that is thinking too far ahead for these two, they need to first concentrate on Tuesday.

The English Premier League Battles In Summary

This season of the English Premier League has officially come to an end, and what a season it has been. In the immediate aftermath of England’s World Cup heroics, there were a lot of question marks as to whether or not the Premier League campaign could capitalise on it. It’s pretty safe to say that they accomplished that goal pretty remarkably, because we wound up with one of the most exciting seasons in the history of the top flight.

Inter Milan Face Big Late Season Test Against Napoli

The domestic season is slowly coming to an end, as teams throughout Europe prepare to do their business off of the pitch instead of on it courtesy of the summer transfer window. Things are starting to wind down in most of the major European countries, but there’s still a little longer to go over in Italy. Serie A has two matchdays remaining with a series of entertaining games still to come, including one this weekend that will be contested by two sides who will have high hopes for a potential title challenge next season.

Despite Missing Key Players, City Can Pick Up Champions Cup Victory

Manchester City Battle Watford In FA Cup Final

It’s been a long and gruelling season, but finally, we’ve arrived at the FA Cup Final. It’s so often considered to be the final act of the English domestic campaign, and it’s hard to disagree with that. Over the years a lot of fans have stated that they believe the magic of the cup has disappeared, but we really do believe that it’s been on the rise as of late. Now, with just one game remaining in the competition,

Charlton Fancied to Finish the Job Off at Home

Charlton host Doncaster on Friday night in what is the last game of the playoff semi finals in England. The winner of this game will go to Wembley to face Sunderland in the League One playoff final next Sunday, with a place in the Championship at stake.

Both clubs have been up in the second tier before, with Charlton having Premier League experience in the past. That means they both know what it is like to be on a bigger stage,

Home Advantage Give Pompey the Edge

A place at Wembley and a chance to get back up into the Championship awaits Portsmouth and Sunderland. The Black Cats would be getting back up to the second tier at the first attempt after relegation last season while for Portsmouth it would be a return to somewhere near where they belong, after dropping down the divisions as far as League Two.

That was a team on a big downward spiral and with money problems that were forcing them to lose many of their top players.

Leeds Fancied to Reach Wembley after Derby Win

Who will take the final place in the Wembley playoff final in less than two weeks? Either Leeds or Derby will make it there, and that puts them one game away from the Premier League and what would be a huge moment for their club.

Both teams have been in the top flight before, although not for quite a while. Leeds have been craving a return to the Premier League for some years,

Super Six for England as they ease past Panama

Aston Villa to Finish West Brom Off at The Hawthornes

Aston Villa are within touching distance of reaching their second Championship playoff final in two years. They suffered heartbreak last season at the hands of Fulham, but have every chance of going one better this time around. They have started well, and hold a 2-1 lead from the first leg of their tie with West Brom. A win or a draw at The Hawthornes and they are through to the final, and that is the bare minimum for this club and its expectant fans.
