Gravlen u „minusu“ Gorjan Radonjić, košarkaš francuskog Tulona

ASVEL – GRAVLEN – poeni - Biće tvrdo, igrajte minus poene. Gravlen je prvi na tabeli, ozbiljna je ekipa, uvek igra na mali broj koševa. Sa druge strane, Asvel se bori za plasman u doigravanje.

BULAZAK – NANTER 1 - Ostalo je tri kola do kraja, domaćin mora da pobedi ako želi da opstane u Prvoj ligi, odnosno za to su mu potrebna dva trijumfa. Nanter je sasvim dobar tim, trenutno je u formi, igrao je u finalu Kupa, ali Bulazak može da bude iznenađenje.

AVR – ROAN 2 - Roan juri mesto među četiri najbolja, u dobrom je ritmu, pa očekujem dvojku. Uz to, Avr je ostao u ligi, nema nikakav imperativ, ne može ni dole ni gore.

ORLEAN - LE MAN 1 - Orlean je promenio ekipu, pre sedam dana doveo dva nova Amerikanca. Poražen je u Roanu sa nekoliko koševa razlike. Le Man ne igra sjajno, pa domaćin može da dobije.

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has returned to training after a thigh injury but is unlikely to start against Levante at Camp Nou on Saturday.

Sergio Busquets (groin) should also be fit but Carles Puyol and Javier Mascherano (both knee) remain sidelined.

Levante midfielder Vicente Iborra is suspended after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season in the defeat against Deportivo La Coruna.

Boss Juan Ignacio Martinez has no other selection concerns but is likely to make changes to his starting XI after crushing back-to-back losses against Real Madrid and Deportivo.

DID YOU KNOW?

Barcelona are on a 11-match winning run in La Liga.

With 98 goals scored in their 31 matches so far, the Blaugrana boast the best attack in the Primera Division.

Lionel Messi is La Liga's top scorer this season with 43 goals in 29 appearances.

Levante are in an eight-match winless run away from home in La Liga (D3, L5).

The Valencian club have lost seven of their last eight meetings with Barcelona.

Levante have won just one of the six matches they have contested since the sale of Obafemi Martins to Major League Soccer outfit Seattle Sounders in March.

Prediction
This should be a banker home win for Barcelona, who have been in imperious form in La Liga and will look to wrap up the title as soon as possible to fully concentrate on Europe. Levante appear to have run out of steam after competing in three competitions with a small squad and could suffer another big defeat at Camp Nou.

Editor's Prediction
Barcelona 3-0 Levante

Stanić zaustavlja Poljake U subotu i nedelju prvi susreti četvrtfinala rukometne Lige šampiona

ATLETIKO M. (Špa) - BARSELONA (Špa) 2 - Katalonci su više pokazali u dosadašnjem toku sezone. Atletiko grca u dugovima, Danac Markusen je napustio ekipu i otišao u Katar. Čini se da su zvezde Madriđana Balić i Lazarov prošli zenit karijere.

METALURG (Mak) - KIELCE (Polj) 1 - Poljski šampion je kvalitetniji, ali u Skoplju vlada rukometna groznica. Hala „Boris Trajkovski” će biti krcata. Osim paklene atmosfere adut čete Lina Červara biće srpski golman Darko Stanić, koji brani u životnoj formi.

KIL (Nem) - VESPREM (Mađ) 1(h) - Ove dve ekipe igrale su u grupnoj fazi. Ostvarili su po pobedu na svojim terenina, ali je Kil bio ubedljiviji u svojoj „Šparkase areni”. Nemački šampion je i ove godine prvi favorit za osvajanje titule, pa ne sumnjamo da će pred više od deset hiljada navijača uspeti da “sruši” Mađare.

Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso will miss the Primera Division encounter against Real Betis through suspension.

Michael Essien remains sidelined with a muscle strain but Kaka (hamstring), Alvaro Arbeloa (back) and Mesut Ozil (illness) should all return after missing the win over Athletic Bilbao.

Boss Jose Mourinho is, however, bound to rotate his squad with an eye on Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Borussia Dortmund.

Real Betis' Nacho suffered a toe fracture in training on Wednesday and is expected to be out of action for 10 days.

Fellow defender Mario is unlikely to feature with a hamstring problem while strikier Nosa Igiebor suffered a muscle injury in the 3-3 draw against Sevilla and is a minor doubt.

DID YOU KNOW?

Real Madrid are on a seven-match winning run in La Liga at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Castilian side have kept just one clean sheet in their last seven games in the league.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in his last eight appearances for Madrid in all competitions.

Real Betis have won just three of their last 14 matches across all competitions (W3, D6, L5).

Los Verdiblancos have lost four of their last five Liga meetings with Real Madrid.

Betis' last away win against Madrid was a 1-0 success in October 1998.

Prediction
Madrid will aim to continue their rich vein of form and some of their fringe players will hope to perform well and force themselves into the reckoning for the Dortmund game. Betis are a decent side going forward but their recent away performances, bar the 5-1 win over Andalusian rivals Granada, have been poor.

Editor's Prediction
Real Madrid 2-0 Betis

Martin Jol will be desperate to get back to winning ways after suffering a crushing 3-0 defeat against Chelsea at Craven Cottage on Wednesday despite troubling the Blues for the majority of the game.

Fulham will be without Damien Duff, who is struggling with an abductor strain. This opens up a spot for the returning Alexander Kacaniklic, who scored in the reverse fixture earlier this season, after the youngster was recalled from a loan spell at Burnley.

Steve Sidwell is likely to handed a place in the starting line-up after serving a three-match suspension, particularly given that Emmanuel Frimpong is ineligible to face parent club. Ashkan Dejagah (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

Despite failing to see off Everton on Tuesday night, Arsene Wenger’s side travel to Craven Cottage in need of a win if Arsenal are to replicate their remarkable late-season charge for a third-place finish from 2011-12.

The visitors will have an almost fully fit squad at their disposal, with Jack Wilshere looking to make his third consecutive appearance after recovering from injury.

The clash comes too soon for Lukasz Fabianski, however, who is sidelined with a rib injury, meaning the out-of-favour Wojciech Szczesny will be handed a start between the posts.

Tomas Rosciky will face a late fitness test, as will Kieran Gibbs, who could make way for Nacho Monreal at right-back.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fulham are unbeaten in their last four encounters against Arsenal.

The Cottagers have recovered fewer points from losing positions (five) than any other team in the Premier League this season.

Dimitar Berbatov (pictured) has found the net four times his last four home appearances at Craven Cottage. The Bulgarian in 20/1 to open the scoring in a win for Arsenal on Saturday.

Fulham have been saved by the woodwork 18 times this season, more so than any top-flight club this season
If the Premier League table were to be composed solely on second-half performances, Arsenal would top the league table with 61 points.

Arsenal have lost just once in their last 11 top-flight encounters.

But, since the start of 2010, the Gunners have won just three of 13 London derbies away from home.

Prediction
Martin Jol will be optimistic Fulham can tear the form book apart as they did against Tottenham last month following a morale-boosting performance against Chelsea - despite the heavy loss - but the vein of form Arsena find themselves in could render victory a bridge too far for the hosts.

Arsenal’s vulnerability from set-pieces could be Fulham's best route to the scoresheet, as could the sort of magic that has become a hallmark of striker Dimitar Berbatov but, ultimately, the visitors will likely prove too strong.

Editor's Prediction
Fulham 1-3 Arsenal

“Filijala” brine Brine Bojan Zajić (Valerenga, Norveška)

Molde i mi smo važili za favorite u prvenstvu, ali smo loše startovali. Naš trener je zbog toga najavio promene u ekipi za teško gostovanje Startu. Sa ovim rivalom uvek igramo mečeve sa dosta golova. Solskjer ima neograničen “kredit” u Moldeu, pa njegovo mesto na klupi nije ugroženo. Šampion nema dobru tradiciju sa Od Grenlandom, a kada tome dodamo veštačku travu na kojoj igra domaćin, gostima se ne piše dobro.

Drugoligaš Ranhajm jedini ima dve pobede, pa mislim da će “filijala” Rozenborga ponovo da trijumfuje. Bodo ima velike ambicije i dobar tim.

PROBABLE LINEUPS

HANNOVER

Ya Konan, Diouf

BAYERN
Neuer
Rafinha, Boateng, Dante, Alaba
Schweinsteiger, Gustavo
Shaqiri, Pizarro, Ribery
Gomez

With their Champions League date with Barcelona looming large, Bayern will once again look to rest some key players, with the likes of Philipp Lahm, Daniel Van Buyten, Javi Martinez, Mario Gomez, Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben likely to be left out this weekend.

That means Rafinha, Luiz Gustavo, Xherdan Shaqiri and Claudio Pizarro will all start, while Mario Mandzukic will miss out due to a minor knock. Toni Kroos and Holger Badstuber remain long-term absentees.

Meanwhile, Hannover will be without a host of players for the visit of the new German champions, with Leon Andreasen, Mario Eggimann and Szabolcs Huszti all nursing their way back from injury and lacking fitness.

Felipe has a hamstring problem and Franca is recovering after suffering from tuberculosis.

DID YOU KNOW?

Hannover are yet to lose a home Bundesliga game in 2013, recording five wins and two draws.

However, in their Bundesliga history, H96 have lost more times to Bayern (30) and conceded the most goals against them (125) than any other side.

Their 5-0 defeat in the reverse fixture was their heaviest of the last three years.

Bayern Munich can reach 81 points with victory and equal the record tally for a Bundesliga season.

The Bavarians have only dropped points in four of their 30 games this Bundesliga campaign.

Jerome Boateng has scored two goals in his last five games having failed to net in his first 129 Bundesliga appearances.

Prediction
Hannover might boast a formidable home record this season but Bayern have been a cut above the rest, beating good teams with considerable ease as they stride towards a season of silverware and they should be able to triumph at the AWD Arena.

Hannover 96 0-2 Bayern

With a place in the Champions League for the coming season all but guaranteed, and a crucial home semi-final clash in this year's edition against Real Madrid on the horizon, Jurgen Klopp may well decide to rest several stars to ensure they arrive in peak condition. Marco Reus, currently suffering a thigh strain, is one player almost certain to start from the bench against Mainz.

Coming off the back of two straight defeats, and having won just twice in the whole of 2013, Mainz will hope for an improvement in the final encounters of the season, safely ensconced in mid-table. Shawn Parker came off the bench in a 2-1 reverse to Hamburg, and could get the nod from the start on Saturday afternoon.

DID YOU KNOW?

Borussia Dortmund had to give up their dreams of recording a third-successive Bundesliga title, after Bayern Munich claimed the title with six games to spare two weeks ago.

A win on Saturday, however, would guarantee the second-placed team a spot in the Champions League next year; five games from the end, they lie 12 points clear of Schalke (in fourth) and with a far superior goal difference.

With 72 goals scored, BVB could still beat their tally for 2012-13, where they netted 80 times on the way to the title. The real drop has been in defence; 35 goals conceded this year, compared to just 22 at the end of 2011-12.

Mainz are another club still entertaining hopes of European football, sitting just three points off the Europa League places in ninth.

On the other hand, they are close enough to the relegation fight to still need four more points to be absolutely safe from the drop.

While Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski (22) leads the Bundesliga scoring charts, Mainz have their own high-scoring representative: Hungarian Adam Szalai, with 13 goals so far.

Prediction
Dortmund will almost inevitably have one eye on Jose Mourinho's men, but even still they should have more than enough to take down an out of form Mainz outfit and record a comfortable victory.

Editor's Prediction
Dortmund 3-1 Mainz
