City and Olympiacos are the favourites for the... Cup, the last matchday in Germany, France and the picks at "BookieCo"...
Today includes many interesting games, but of course the Cup finals in Greece and England dominate. The champion Olympiacos will face OFI at the OAKA and in the FA Cup they will face Crystal Palace and Manchester City.
The last matchday in the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 is also taking place and there will be a definitive clarification for the teams that will get a European ticket, but also for those that will be relegated. The champion was already emerged a few days ago with Bayern Munich and Paris celebrating the title...
Below you will see in detail all the competitive action:
FREIBURG-EINTRACHT FRANKFURT (16:30)
In the end, the finale in the Bundesliga for the battle leading to the Champions League will be shocking. As the data have been formed, today's match for the last matchday is a "Champions League" final for both teams. Dortmund is currently in 5th place with 54 points, with 4th Freiburg having 55 and 3rd Eintracht 57! On the last matchday, therefore, the last two face off at the home of Freiburg, with Dortmund wanting the hosts not to win, so that with their victory over the relegated Holstein Kiel they can check the "ticket"! From here one can easily understand the importance of the match. Essentially, the hosts seal a place in the top four with a victory and go to the Champions League. The visitors are also favored with a draw for the same goal.
Mainz beat Bochum 4-1 and re-entered the top six, while at the same time sending the visitors to the Schweite Liga. The hosts in today's last matchday, with a possible victory against the indifferent Leverkusen, seal the 6thplace that leads to the Conference League. If they don't win, we will have to look at the rest of the results to see if they will achieve their goal.It is that the visitors are completely indifferent, in the last two games they count one defeat and one draw. Let's not forget that their coach Xavi Alonso has already signed for Real Madrid. All this, Mainz is called upon to take advantage of and get the coveted victory.
Leipzig threw their last chance at Bremen to hope for an exit in the Champions League, with the 0-0 final against Werder condemning them to a season away from the stars. Now, he is playing to be outside the top six, but in order to hope... it is imperative to win over the indifferent Stuttgart. In the last matchday, everything is played in the Bundesliga, about the teams that will secure a European ticket and in which competitions. The exception of course in the top six, the first two (Bayern Munich and Leverkusen).
CRYSTAL PALACE-MANCHESTER CITY (18:30)
Another trophy will be claimed by Manchester City, who surpassed... Nottingham 2-0, and qualified for the FA Cup final. Crystal Palace is its opponent at Wembley! On the other hand, Crystal Palace made a shocking performance against Aston Villa, in the semi-final of the FA Cup, with the "eagles" prevailing 3-0 and qualifying for the final of the institution! The presence of Glasner's team was terrible, two goals with shots from outside the area, a missed penalty and the 3rd participation in an FA Cup final is a fact
The grand final of the Greek Cup between OFI and Olympiacos is also taking place tonight. This is not the first time that Olympiacos and OFI will be "beaten" for the Cup final, as they had crossed their swords in the 1990 final, when the Piraeus team had prevailed 4-2 against the Cretans at the OAKA. The champions overcame AEK's obstacle with an overall score of 6-2, while the Cretans qualified against Asteras AKTOR with an overall score of 2-1. Olympiacos and OFI will face each other in the final of the Greek Cup, which is of interest not only to these two teams but also to Aris. The "yellows" have definitively secured the 5th place, but they have not yet secured the exit to Europe. For this to happen, the "reds" will have to win the cup after the championship, that is, to make the double, because if the Cretans finally celebrate at the OAKA, Aris will be left out of Europe. It should also be noted that fans of the two teams are expected to be in the game, something that had not been done in the last two years, as the finals were behind closed doors.
