As you can imagine, we spend a lot of time scanning the upcoming football fixtures and we decided it was time to put that to good use – so here’s what you should look out for over the next few days.
? Your Friday Appetisers
Start as you mean to go on, by enjoying tonight’s best games from around the world, in the app.
There’s matches in nearly all of Europes’ top leagues including the likes of Ajax and Atlético, plus the small matter of Inter vs. Roma in Serie A!
Did you know… There have been 499 goals in Serie A meetings between Inter and Roma, and it could become the first fixture to reach 500 in competition history.
Plus in Africa, the CAF Champions League holders, ES Tunis have their first home game of this season’s competition – vs. JS Kabylie of Algeria.
? Saturday
This weekend’s main course doesn’t disappoint either.
??????? In England, the Manchester Derby headlines a day of intriguing fixtures, with Liverpool travelling to Bournemouth and Chelsea on the road at Everton.
?? There’s a huge game in the Bundesliga, as resurgent former giants, Borussia Mönchengladbach host perennial champions, Bayern München.
Did you know… Bayern have lost six of their 16 Bundesliga meetings against Gladbach since summer 2011 (W7, D3) – more defeats than against any other side.
?? And the big two in La Liga are both in action – Madrid kicking off the day’s action vs. Espanyol at lunchtime and Barcelona rounding off the day at home to Mallorca.
?? Elsewhere, the J-League comes to an exciting close.
Whilst not mathematically assured of the title, Yokohama F Marinos have a 3 point advantage over FC Tokyo – the team they face today!
We were denied a straight shootout for the title when FC Tokyo dropped points last weekend – but a massive swing in goal difference isn’t completely out of the question!
? Sunday
Get yourself out of bed on Sunday, because there’s plenty more football to be had!
And whilst we’ll have all the usual big leagues covered – why not look a little further afield for some drama!
?? There’s the final round of the mammoth 38-game season in the Brasileiro. Flamengo are already assured of the title, but there’s still all-important Copa Libertadores spots up for grabs and the small matter of deciding which 4 teams go down.
?? Here, in Norway we’re looking forward to the season finale – with FK Haugesund and Viking facing off in our big Cup Final.
??????? And if it’s a derby game you’re after – look no further than the League Cup Final in Scotland, as Old Firm rivals Rangers and Celtic contest that. Oomph!
