Every May, several big UEFA matches reach their end of the journey where fans can evaluate their favorite teams’ performances and predict which team would become the champion. The period from the first weekend of May to the last is the crucial one of the competition. However, the champions in some leagues are pretty much obvious and predictable, while the champions in some others are still too soon to predict.

Italian Calcio Serie A leaves other 4 competing weeks to finish with Inter Milan FC holding 77 points, 7 points ahead of AC Milan’s. Inter Milan could be the champion in this league if it is able to keep the form up, while teams that are should be worried are of Regina, Lecce, Bologna, Torino, and Chievo.

Spanish League La Liga has other 4 matches to finish. Previously. Barcelona and Real Madrid are predicted to be the champions, but on the last Saturday match Barcelona has completely beat Real Madrid 6-2, holding 7 points ahead the second ranking team. The risky teams to be out of the competition are consisting of CD Numancia, RC Recreative de Huelva, Sporting de’ Gijon, Getafe CF, and CA Osasuna.

English Premier League has already completed 35 matches and remains other 3 matches to go. Manchester United is the leading team holding 3 points ahead Liverpool but there is a special match between Man United and Liverpool to compete. However, Man United needs to have just other 7 points for being the champion automatically in Premier League. The risky teams to be out of the competition are consisting of West Bromwich, Middleborough, Newcastle, Hull City, and Sunderland.

German Bundes Lega has other 4 matches to complete. Wolf burg is the leading team holding 3 points ahead the previous champion Bayern Munich, and there are many teams holding the same and close points such as Hertha Berlin, Stuttgart, and Hamburg. 5 teams in this league are predicted to be the champion while the risky teams to be out of the competition are Muchen Gladbach, Belevield Kottbus, and Bochum.

France’s League 1 has only 4 matches left. Marseille has collected 68 points as well as Bordeaux, which came the second. However, Bordeaux seems to win the league this year. Either one of those should be the champion. Lyon does not have a chance this year. Among the least likely champion are Havre AC, AS Saint-Etienne, FC Nantes, FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, and SM Caen.
