This weekend's permutations: Which titles, relegations could be decided around Europe?

sportsmole.co.uk, 26 May 2023, 11:00
The upcoming weekend promises to be one of the most exciting, and certainly one of the most decisive, matchdays of the 2022-23 season as a number of top leagues around Europe bring the curtain down on another captivating campaign.

After a 10-month season split in half by the winter World Cup in Qatar, the Premier League, Bundesliga, Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, Scottish Premiership and Women's Super League all come to an end this weekend, and there is plenty still to be decided.

Two relegation places remain unfilled in the Premier League, the Portuguese title race has unexpectedly gone down to the final day between two bitter rivals, while in Germany pretty much everything is still up for grabs with the title to be decided and four teams still in danger of relegation.

On top of that, titles and relegations could also be confirmed with a game to spare in France and Italy.

Here, Sports Mole runs through the permutations for all of this weekend's action from around the top leagues in Europe.

FRIDAY, MAY 26

LIGUE 1

Le Havre will be promoted to Ligue 1 if they win away to Bastia, or if Metz fail to win away to Sochaux.

Bordeaux, who face Annecy away, will be promoted to Ligue 1 if they better Metz's result.

SATURDAY, MAY 27

BUNDESLIGA

Borussia Dortmund will win the title if they win against Mainz 05, or if Bayern Munich fail to win away to Koln.

Bayern Munich will win the title if they win and Dortmund fail to win.

One of Schalke 04, VfL Bochum, Stuttgart or Augsburg will be relegated.

Schalke will be relegated if they lose. They will also be relegated if they draw and Bochum avoid defeat, barring a 23-goal Stuttgart defeat too. Schalke will also be relegated if they, Bochum and Stuttgart all win and Augsburg record anything other than a defeat which, coupled with Schalke's win, sees a 15-goal swing in goal difference.

Bochum will be relegated if they lose and Schalke draw, by virtue of their inferior goal difference. They will also be relegated if Schalke win and Bochum fail to better Stuttgart's result.

Stuttgart will be relegated if Schalke and Bochum both win and Stuttgart fail to win. They would also be relegated if they lose, Bochum avoid defeat and Schalke win.

Augsburg can only be relegated if they lose, Schalke, Bochum and Stuttgart all win, and there is a 15-goal swing in goal difference between Augsburg and Schalke.

LIGUE 1

Paris Saint-Germain will win the title if they avoid defeat away to Strasbourg, or if Lens fail to win at home to Ajaccio.

Nantes will be relegated if they lose away to Lille and Auxerre win away to Toulouse.

PRIMEIRA LIGA

Benfica, who face Santa Clara, will win the title if they match or better Porto's result against Vitoria de Guimaraes.

Porto will win the title if they win and Benfica fail to win. Should Porto win and Benfica draw then the two sides would finish level on points, but Porto would win the title by virtue of their superior head-to-head record.

WOMEN'S SUPER LEAGUE

Chelsea will be crowned champions if they win away to Reading, or if Manchester United fail to win away to Liverpool.

Manchester United will be crowned champions if they win and Chelsea lose. They could also be crowned champions if they win by six goals and Chelsea draw.
