One match could determine a lot and that is the case in Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1, and in the Premiership
It is crunch time in most of the top European leagues and the chase for Champions League is hot in Spain, Italy, and England, while in France three teams can still win the league going into the last match of the season.
Atletico Madrid can be assured of a second league title in seven years with a win away at Valladolid.
Enyimba v Pyramids @Enyimba Stadium @4pm on May 23
The only matches Enyimba have scored four or more goals in CAF competitions were a 5-0 victory over Rahimo of Burkina Faso in August 2019 and a 5-1 victory over Vital’o FC of Burundi in March 2016. The task against Pyramids on Sunday will be to score four goals without conceding-a mighty task for this Enyimba side who have scored twice in one match twice in the Confederations Cup. Fatai Osho, the Enyimba manager believes if his team can score the first goals of the Sunday encounter on Sunday then there can be hope for a comeback. “We have to let them (the players) know that it’s not over yet. We have to play and score and not concede; if we can do that, we have a hope. A situation where we can score one or two goals, that brings hope and we have to work on their psyche.”
Current Form: Enyimba [L-L-D-L-W]; Pyramids [W-L-W-D-W]
Head-to-head
16/05/21 CCC Pyramids 4 – 1 Enyimba
Prediction: Enyimba 2-2 Pyramids
Real Valladolid v Atletico Madrid @Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla @5pm on May 22
The three points at stake on Saturday at the Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla mean different things to Real Valladolid and Atletico Madrid. Win and Atletico will be champions again after seven seasons while for Valladolid, the three points could mean survival in La Liga. Though Elche and Eibar need to lose for the three points to count for something, it is enough motivation for the home side to go chasing a win. Diego Simeone’s men have had to survive flops, slip-ups, and frustration but somehow, they have held on with just 90 minutes between them and glory. Will Atletico hold their nerves?
