Leipzig as a whole has a very high level in the season. Julian Nagelsmann’s team is still a contender for the championship title. The bulls mentor publicly denies his team’s claims to the salad bowl, but the club definitely has such plans and it has the potential for such a fight. At the moment, Leipzig is second in the table and is five points behind the leader of Bayern. It is still quite possible to win back such a handicap. From below the bulls are pressed by Wolfsburg, which has six points less. At a distance of seven points is Eintracht Frankfurt. So far there is no particular threat to the second line, but one mistake can change the situation. In the last round, Leipzig defeated Werder Bremen with a score of 4:1. The victory was already the 18th in the season for the bulls in the Bundesliga. The club also continues to fight for the German Cup. In the semifinals Leipzig will face off against Werder Bremen.
The last segment of the season was not the best either for the London club. Firstly, Jose Mourinho’s team played very unsuccessfully in the return away match of the Europa League against Dynamo Zagreb, as a result of which they were eliminated from the European Cup. Secondly, there is nothing to please in the national championship either. In the four previous rounds Tottenham managed to beat only Aston Villa (2:0). In addition, they lost points in the match with Newcastle (2:2) and also lost to Arsenal (1:2) and Manchester United (1:3). Unsurprisingly, such an uncertain play significantly lowered the London club’s chances of getting into the top four at the end of the championship. Now Tottenham is eighth in the standings. They have 49 points, which is one point more than the future rival and six points less than the fourth West Ham. Spurs play rather weakly on rivals’ fields. In 11 previous matches during the championship, they achieved only two victories and of the last seven they lost four. Due to injuries at Tottenham, two key defenders will miss the match: Ben Davis and Matt Doherty.
