The final Champions League place now looks to be a straight race between Valencia and Real Sociedad and Los Che can go above Real and put huge pressure on them ahead of their midweek match with relegation haunted Granada, by winning this lunchtime kick off.
Ligue 1:Sochaux-Lorient
We discussed Sochaux ahead of their recent home match with Bordeaux ....
This is a match the hosts dare not lose, they are just one one point above the drop zone, with the teams either side of them in the table playing each other today and with Les Lionceaux facing a daunting trip to Lille on Friday.
Championship:
All these matches start at 12.45 UK time. All five previews written at 09.00 today.

This should come with a government wealth warning, as I have not been in the best of form for the last week, but having said that, both Cardiff City (winning 13.0) and Watford each way ( 67.0) secured big Championship paydays for us in the last 7 days, so hard to complain too much, but I will anyway !
Championship: Blackpool- Derby County
This was sent to subscribers this morning at 09.25 and is now trading at circa 1.70 , 29 clicks or a full quarter ball lower than from the morning line, you could trade out now, two hours before kick off and take your profit, win or lose.
Dijon-Laval
PREVIEW WRITTEN @ 09.24 UK TIME FRIDAY.
France: Ligue 2
Sedan- GFCO Ajaccio
I struggled over the weekend and gave back a few units. Today, I previewed three matches, two taking place this evening, one of which I felt obliged to write a few lines about ( that is below), the other is for later in the week, a fixture where the odds available this morning are highly unlikely to last the day !
Premier League: Manchester United- Manchester City
