Today is very important match for Zurich. They now on the first place 4 point ahead another top club - Basel. Vaduz - club from Lichtenshtein - has already lost all chances to keep place in major league this season, and now they have no such motivation as league leaders. This season Zurich 3 times defeated Vaduz - 7-1 away, 5-0 home and 1-0 home so suppose this tip looks like very proof.
Catania will host Fiorentina that are in full race for a Champions League spot.
Catania are safe and they will play only to improve their position in the league table. The hosts will be without Potenza and Ledesma who are both injured, while their attack will be without Morimoto. According to the latest news, youngster Sciacca is expected to make his debut today in the midfield area. Manager Zenga will play on a 4-1-3-2 formation with Mascara and Martinez as attackers.
Fiorentina are in a must win situation if they want to gain a Champions League spot. Today they can not count on Mutu, Semioli and Santana, but they welcome back from suspension, Felipe Melo. Manager Prandelli will play with a 4-2-3-1 with Gilardino as the only striker, supported by Kuzmanovic, Jovetic and Vargas in the midfield area. President Della Valle has strongly motivated the team during the last training session. The Violet team of Fiorentina has been showing good soccer and they are superior with respect to Catania, that seem almost relaxed.

Chievo must do without Stephen Makinwa, Fabio Moro, Francesco Scardina, Giuseppe Colucci, Antonio Langella and Giampiero Pinzi through injury ans suspension when they host an Inter Milan that know they can win the league title should they win and other results go their way. Inter will be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is suspended but still have Crespo and Balotelli available. Chievo's home form is poor with a record of 3-6-8 this season whereas their opponents have a very good away record of 11-3-3 and I think will win this game and take a step closer to winning the league.
In the French Cup final, the Stade de France welcomes Rennes, (7th in the Ligue 1 table) and Guingamp (12th in Ligue 2) in a 100% Breton French Cup final. Rennes have a good chance to win the French Cup for the third time in the club's history, their first trophy since winning the cup on 1971. This will be a special match for Guy Lacombe, who coached Guingamp for 3 years and he even got the club promoted to Ligue 1. Rennes had a perfect Cup campaign as they didn’t concede a single goal so far in the competition. Striker Jimmy Briand (27apps/8goals) is injured, midfielder Kader Mangane (26apps) is suspended, while team captain Petter Hansson (30apps) is doubtful and could miss. Guingamp earned respect after they already eliminated Ligue 1 clubs Le Mans and Toulouse. Especially the semi-final match against Toulouse was impressive, as they played almost the entire second half with less players. This is the match of the season for Guingamp, who have no worries or ambitions in the league. Igor Djoman (3apps) and Geoffrey Christopher (1app) will be the only absentees for Guingamp. Veteran midfielder Wilson Oruma will have a special motivation as he already lost 2 Cup finals. Guingamp can not be underestimated, especially in a Cup match, but as their player Oruma stated, Rennes start as huge favourites. They are one of the strongest sides in Ligue 1 and they will also have a big support from the crowd, comparing to their opponents. I expect the ligue 1 side to do the job and win the trophy.
Six matches before the end of the season in Denmark and FC Copenhagen are still leading the league table with Brondby just 2 points behind them and Odense on a 4 points gap. The hosts have two very tough games to come with Odense away from home and Brondby in front of their fans that will most likely decide the title. This means that against Nordsjaelland they do not have the luxury to think anything else but the three points. The visitors are currently 5 points above the relegation zone but are coming from four consecutive defeats. No serious absentees for the hosts, while Nordsjaelland can not count on defender Cagara (20apps) while fellow defender Richter (17apps/1goal) is rated doubtful.
This is another Edinburgh derby between Hearts and Hibernian, the fourth this season and the hosts will try to get their first win as two matches have finished on a draw (1-1 and 0-0) and Hibs have won one of them (1-0) at home during the regular season. However, it has to be said that Hearts have been a better side than their rivals throughout the year. Their Sunday match in Glasgow against Rangers finished on a 0-2 defeat even though the Edinburgh side was not very poor. The hosts do not have many serious absentees, while the visitors will be without defenders Sol Bamba (26apps), Chris Hogg (30apps), Rob Jones (29apps/4goals) and banned striker Colin Nish (31apps/8goals), while they have doubts over goalkeeper Szamotulski (12apps) and midfielders Denes Rosa (12apps), Fabian Yantorno (7apps).
I believe that easily or not, the Hearts should collect all three points.

Game from the Switzerland Chmpionship between Xamax and Zurich.
After yesterday's draw for Basel at home with 2-2 against Sion, and now complicating their situation much more by being equal points with Zurich, Zurich now have a game in hand, that they can really win.
Xamax will surely fight, as they are just 1 point above the relegation, and there's still alot of rounds to be played, so nothing is sure for them.
However, Zurich now has the biggest chance to make 3 points advantage ahead of Basel, and get closer to the title this season.
Zurich beat already Xamax 3 times this season, and this shows that they can do it again.
I will bet on Zurich to take the game here, as they are surely more quality squad than Xamax, and will have to prove this on the field, in order to close up to the title.
