Every set of match day results now have an ever increasing
effect on the shifting sands of the league landscapes so here’s how things have
been effected after Match Day 35 and what
could be resolved on Match Day 36.
Division 1
The Champions are still to be crowned with Barca still
needing a win to confirm it, though a draw would surely see their massively
superior goal difference take them over the line.
Both Bayern and Real have assured themselves of Champions
Cup football next season alongside Barca with Juve, Porto and Man U still in
the hunt for the final berth.
Chelsea have secured a Champions Shield spot and with 3
other places still up for grabs the list of mathematical contenders extends
improbably all the way down to Lazio in 15th.
At the bottom Lyon and Milan could both join Sevilla in
dropping to Div 2 if they lose and both Leverkusen and Lazio win and Valencia get
a point.
Division 2
Both Napoli and Schalke have joined Dortmund in gaining
promotion to Div 1, the title however cannot be decided just yet.
The play-off places are still to be decided with clubs down to Loko in 12th having a mathematical chance of
securing a place.
At the bottom Galatasaray and, Sunderland could be relegated
if they lose or Sporting and Boca both win, this would also condemn St
Etienne if they fail to get maximum points.
Division 3
Promotion cannot be mathematically secured but a win for
Basel and defeat for Villa would see the Swiss club virtually home and dry due
to their goal difference, potentially any 3 clubs from the top 10 could nick a
promotion slot but realistically they are likely to go to any of the top 5.
Play-off hopefuls extend all the way down to Cruzeiro in 13th
who are not yet clear of being possibly relegated.
Failure to win for Sampdoria and Sassuolo see them relegated
and even victories could see them drop if Palace and Hamburg both win.
Division 4
At the top matters are still far from being decided with 11
clubs still having a mathematical chance of promotion but in all likelihood the
final top 3 will come from the current 6 heading the table.
Play-off potentials extend down to Montpellier in 14th
even if their chances are slim and they will be more focused on what is
happening below them.
At the foot of the table Levante have slipped through the
trap door and another defeat will see them finish in the bottom 2, defeat for
Celta Vigo will see them also playing in Div 5 next season if both Hellas
Verona and Espanyol win.
Division 5
Feyenoord have secured promotion alongside Villareal, a
point for Stuttgart or defeat for both Hertha and Santos will see Stuttgart taking the final automatic promotion spot.
A win for Villareal or defeat for Feyenoord will see the
Spanish club taking the title.
Both Hertha and Santos have secured their play-off berths
and wins for Sao Paulo and Celtic or defeat for Olympiacos will see them taking
the other 2 places.
At the basement Augsberg could be confirmed as a bottom 2
finisher If they fail to win and either Twente or Bremen secure 3pts.
Nice 1 David
