And the FC Barcelona did it and once again wrote history: the first team to win an El Clásico and thereby securing the Spanish league title!
Despite some title races in Europe’s Top 5 leagues already having been decided, this doesn’t mean that there is no excitement left!
Quite the contrary:
🇫🇷 In France the two teams at the top of the table face each other in the second-to-last game of the season.
🏴 At the same time ManCity has to win their re-scheduled match against Crystal Palace if they don’t want to hand Arsenal a 5 point lead with only two games left to go.
🇪🇸 And then, well, there is the Russian Roulette at the bottom of the La Liga table: with 3 matchdays to go, there are 7 (!) teams sitting within a range of only 4 points, but only 5 seats to play in La Liga also next season.
So, let’s get right into it and have a look at the Soccer Factor Model (SFM) predictions for players’ scoring probabilities for the upcoming matches!

🥅 Preview – Matches
RC Lensvs.
Paris Saint-Germain
Well, on paper, it is pure excitement: second-placed RC Lens is hosting first placed PSG on the second-to-last matchday of the season!
In reality it is a bit more nuanced: PSG is sitting 6 points ahead of RC Lens. In the event of both teams tying in terms of points at the end, it is the goal balance that is gonna decide; and here it is again PSG that has a comfortable lead.
🤓 The SFM sees rather equal probabilities across the rosters!

Manchester Cityvs.
Crystal Palace
It’s a re-scheduled match that ManCity has to win – it might even be the title-deciding match of the season.
After Arsenal’s fiercely discussed win over the Hammers at the weekend, a win by Crystal Palace would give the Gunners a 5-point lead over the Citizens with only two matches outstanding.
🤓 The SFM however, has the odds clearly tilted towards the home team. In that case: a grand final is gonna await us in the Premier League in the coming weeks!

The Spanish Madness
With 3 matchdays outstanding, only 4 points are separating 19th-placed UD Levante and 13th-placed FC Seville!
5 out of these 7 teams will be allowed to stay in Spain’s highest league, while two have to start in Segunda División.
What an end to a season this is building up to...
