May is the month of decisions in football. Some of these decisions are coming up this weekend. So that you don't miss any important showdown, here's a compact overview for you.

Friday, May 16

While the first and second Bundesliga are still on hold, things are already heating up in England today. The point-equal rivals Aston Villa and Chelsea are engaged in a long-distance duel for the coveted starting places in the Champions League. As opponents, they have Tottenham and Manchester United, the pairing from the upcoming Europa League final.

Speaking of the Champions League: Cristiano Ronaldo, of course, wants to start in the next season in the Asian offshoot. Only the top three teams in the Saudi Professional League qualify. Al Nassr is currently only fourth. With three remaining games and a two-point deficit, a win against Al-Taawoun is a must. You can be there live for €2.99 from 8 pm.

The Bundesliga opens its doors for the last time in the 2024/25 season. And, as usual, all nine games are played simultaneously from 3:30 pm. There's still a lot of excitement in the race for European places. Will BVB crown their final spurt with CL qualification? A win and help from Frankfurt mean secure additional revenue of at least €20 million.

Also, two floors down, all 20 third-division teams are in action from 1:30 pm. In a long-distance duel, Cottbus and Saarbrücken are fighting for the relegation spot towards promotion. Also, from a distance, it will be decided between the reserves of BVB and VfB who will be allowed to go into extra time for relegation. You can get each game for €4.99 in our app.

It's also about a title in England. Manchester City meets Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final. Kickoff is at 5:30 pm. So, you can switch directly after the Bundesliga.

Sunday, May 18

In the completely crazy second division, the final curtain falls. Elversberg, Paderborn, and Köln can still promote directly. Düsseldorf and Kaiserslautern are also in the running for third place. At the bottom, Braunschweig, Fürth, and Münster want to avoid 16th place. The spectacle starts at 1:30 pm, and you can be there via stream for €4.99 per game.

Meanwhile, it's worth taking a look at the Netherlands. Ajax is about to blow the championship. From a nine-point lead over PSV Eindhoven, they have now fallen to a one-point deficit. So, on the last matchday, the Amsterdam team is dependent on help from Sparta Rotterdam from 2:30 pm.

In the direct duel against third-placed Newcastle, Arsenal can secure the vice-championship with a win (from 5:30 pm).

After that, your eyes should wander to Italy. 18 of the 20 Serie A teams are in action simultaneously - and the championship can be decided! If Inter loses to Lazio and Napoli beats Parma in parallel, the Neapolitans will have the Scudetto secure.
