Bayern Munich X Stuttgart - Saturday 10:30AM ET
The Bundesliga leaders will look to take advantage of the Leverkusen X Schalke matchup and separate themselves from the pack. Stuttgart has to travel to the Allianz Arena, their first time on the road since the 4-0 pounding from Barcelona. Bayern have yet to lose at home this season, and are rejuvenated with their opportunity in the Champions League quarterfinals. Focused on the title, they will whip a demoralized Stuttgart 3-0. 2 from Mario gomez and a Thomas Müller strike will do it.
Chelsea X Aston Villa - Saturday 11:00AM ET
Chelsea cannot choke at home against Aston Villa. Chelsea's recent slip ups in the league against Blackburn and Manchester City have allowed the likes of Man United and Arsenal to make up some ground late in the Premiere League. The threatening Agbonlahor and the Villans have been drawing too many games lately, dropping them to 7th place where they are tied with Liverpool. Chelsea will hold on and finish their campaign strong, as they look to win their first title with out the "Special One." A 2-1 win against Villa...Lamps and Anelka score for the Blues while Ashley Young nets one for the side from Birmingham.
AS Roma X Inter Milan - Saturday 1:00PM ET
The Serie A leaders travel to the Eternal city this weekend to ward off the dogs (get it Roma, dogs) that are just 4 points behind Inter. Although there are still 8 fixtures left in the lengthy Serie A season, this game is probably the most important down the stretch. An injured Francesco Totti will miss this classic. A determined Jose Mourinho side coming off a 3-0 win against Livorno will get a good result, keeping Roma in 2nd. Stalemate here 0-0.
Leverkusen X Schalke 04 - Saturday 1:30 PM ET
3rd place Leverkusen hosts 2nd place Schalke who sit just one point behind the mighty Bayern Munich. Leverkusen in turn is just 2 points behind Schalke. This is the tightest race in Europe with one game (3 pts) separating these three teams. This fixture is one of the many prominent matches in the upcoming weeks in Germany. Both these teams will still host Bayern in the dying weeks of the season. Leverkusen will use its home field advantage to pull off a 1-0 victory. Your boy Stefan Kießling will score the lone goal.
Benfica X Sp. Braga - Saturday 3:15PM ET
This is Braga's chance to make history. They are behind the 1st place Eagles by a slim 3 points, however they are travelling south to the Estadio da Luz where Benfica are a perfect 10-0-1. The Arsenalistas will enter the match with plenty of vigour and spirit, with this their best chance in history at the title. But Benfica's potent attack won't get too comfortable at home. They'll be good for at least one goal, but only after Braga goes up 1-0. A heated 1-1 draw between the two, with only 6 games left to determine the champs. Mossoró and Cardozo the scorers.
