Inter Milan X Juventus - Friday 2:45PM ET
Diego's been called back up for this showdown at the Guiseppe Meazza. Juventus are looking to finish the season with a spot in the Champions League. With just 5 games left they'll need to win this game in order to take try and take that 4th place spot away from Palermo. A more dier Inter also need a victory here to keep up with Roma who are one point ahead in the race for the Scudetto. Inter have the extra burden of facing the world great Barcelona in the Champions League next week. It'll be interesting to see how Jose Mourinho deals with this one. I think both sides will lose points here. A soild Inter defense will keep it 1-0 until a late equalizer from new Italian citizen Amauri ties it up. Zanetti scores for Inter Milan.
Manchester City X Manchester United - Saturday 7:45AM ET
The first major derby of the weekend is going to be a great one. City have been on a roll, winning 6-1, 5-1, and 3-0 in their last 3 matches. United on the otherhand have been eliminated from the Champions League, lost to league leading Chelsea, and tied a weak Blackburn side since their last victory. City want a chance at the Champions League next year, but have Tottenham on their tail. Expect them to go ahead by two, and get a 2-1 victory at home in this heated rivalry. Tevez will stick it to Sir Alex with two goals. Nani will net one for the Red Devils.
Tottenham Hotspur X Chelsea 12:30PM ET
After beating Arsenal Wednesday for the first time in 11 years in the Premiere League, Tottenham and North London see another historic derby at White Hart Lane. Chelsea can make a big statement here and almost wrap up the English League with a win. They have been in fantastic form opening up a 4 point lead in the table. Tottenham are also playing well, and are looking to snag that last Champions League spot from current incumbents Man City. Chelsea's Brazilian star Alex said his dad thinks Chelsea are going to win the EPL, so I'm going with poppa-dukes. Chelsea will make a show of it 3-0. 2 goals from Drogba, and Malouda will tack one on.
Bordeaux X Lyon - Saturday 3:00PM ET
Bordeaux suffered a tantalizing loss to Le Mans Wednesday, and slipped behind Lyon in the standings. However they still have a game in hand on the former champions, giving them a huge advantage in claiming Ligue 1's last Champions League spot. But if Lyon win this game like I think they will, it will be hard for Saturday's host to steal it away. Lisandro will keep up the scoring and net one for Olympique Lyonnais before Pjanic finishes Bordeaux 2-0.
Real Madrid X Valencia - Sunday 3:00PM ET
The talent on the pitch when these two Spanish giants square off will be immeasurable. Having said that, Valencia is still miles away from Real. Madrid will finish the season with something to prove, and may in fact win out, putting all the pressure they can on last year's trophy winners Barcelona. Although David Villa and company will slip up on this one, I think they'll still hold on to that 3rd place spot, so you'll definitely see them in the Champions League next season.. Cristiano Ronaldo will score again, as well as a substituted Benzema. The Galacticos 2-0.
