Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos is likely to miss the Primera Division encounter against Real Valladolid after picking up a hamstring injury in the win over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

Defenders Alvaro Arbeloa (back), Marcelo (muscle tear) and Raul Albiol (suspension) are all sidelined, while Cristiano Ronaldo (hamstring) is a doubt.

Real Valladolid have no fresh injury worries for the trip to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Boss Miroslav Dukic could name the same team that played out a 1-1 draw with Sevilla last Sunday.

DID YOU KNOW?

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

Los Merengues are on a 28-match unbeaten streak on home soil in La Liga stretching back to December 2011.

Mesut Ozil has scored four goals in his last two Liga appearances.

Real Valladolid have won just one of their last eight matches in La Liga (W1, D4, L3).

The Pucela have lost their last four Liga encounters with Real Madrid.

Valladolid's last away win over Madrid was a 1-0 success in May 2000.

Prediction
Valladolid are on a three-match unbeaten run in La Liga but do not travel well, having picked up just one win in their last nine away outings. Madrid have little to play for after their Champions League exit but they should have enough in the tank to put the visitors to the sword.

Editor's Prediction
Real Madrid 2-0 Valladolid

04.05. (Sat) 18:30 Borussia D. - Bayern Munchen


PROBABLE LINEUPS

BORUSSIA DORTMUND
Weidenfeller
Großkreutz • Santana • Hummels • Schmelzer
Kehl • Şahin
Hofmann • Gündogan • Reus
Schieber

BAYERN MUNICH
Neuer
Lahm • Buyten • Dante • Alaba
Martínez • Schweinsteiger
Müller • Pizarro • Shaqiri
Gómez

Borussia Dortmund are expected to make a few changes to the side who lost 2-0 to Real Madrid on Tuesday, but still progressed to the Champions League final.

Lukasz Piszczek has been carrying a knock for months and will undergo surgery at the end of the season, so will be rested, with Kevin Grosskreutz replacing him at right-back. Neven Subotic is also likely to come out of the XI to give Felipe Santana a start.

A late challenge in Madrid saw Sven Bender pick up an injury while Mario Gotze has a torn hamstring muscle, so Ilkay Gundogan will fill in behind the striker with Nuri Sahin and Sebastian Kehl in the deep-lying midfield roles.

Finally, Jonas Hofmann will get a run out on the right wing, with Julian Schieber starting in Robert Lewandowski's place.

Bayern, meanwhile, are likely to name a stronger line-up than they have in recent Bundesliga games, with the likes of Philipp Lahm, David Alaba, Javi Martinez and Bastian Schweinsteiger starting.

However, after their midweek exertions at Camp Nou, Mario Mandzukic, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben should get a rest, with Claudio Pizarro, Mario Gomez and Xherdan Shaqiri filling in.

Holger Badstuber (knee) and Toni Kroos (hamstring) will be out for the rest of the season.

DID YOU KNOW?

Borussia Dortmund have not lost any of their last five Bundesliga games against Bayern, winning four in a row before December's 1-1 Allianz Arena draw.

This will be the 100th official meeting between the two sides. Bayern have triumphed on 45 occasions, BVB 25 and there have been 29 draws.

Mats Hummels started his career at the Allianz Arena before making the permanent move to Dortmund in 2009 after a loan spell the previous year.

Bayern Munich have not lost any of their three games against Borussia Dortmund this season, beating them 2-1 in the Supercup and 1-0 in the Pokal and drawing in the Bundesliga.

Their 1-0 win over Freiburg last week saw them beat BVB's record points total.

Bayern have kept a clean sheet and won in 20 games this season, a national best.

Prediction
Bayern and BVB have both enjoyed phenomenal campaigns and sit on the brink of history later this month. Despite the points gap in the league, the two teams are fairly evenly matched and I'd expect them to cancel each other out in a thrilling encounter.

Editor's Prediction
Dortmund 2-2 Bayern

04.05. (Sat) 18:30 QPR - Arsenal


PROBABLE LINEUPS

QPR
Green
Fabio, Onuoha, Hill, Traore
Jenas, M'bia, Granero
Remy, Zamora, Townsend

ARSENAL
Szczesny
Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal
Ramsey, Arteta, Rosicky
Walcott, Podolski, Cazorla

QPR welcome back Bobby Zamora from suspension and he could take his place in a three-pronged frontline alongside Loic Remy and Andros Townsend, who is looks likely to overcome a hamstring injury.

Christopher Samba is a doubt with a knee problem, while Shaun Wright-Phillips (ankle) and DJ Campbell (foot) are long-term absentees.

Arsenal will remain without the suspended Olivier Giroud, meaning that Lukas Podolski should again start as the focal attacking output, although he faces competition from Gervinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Elsewhere, Jack Wilshere and Nacho Monreal are vying for first-team places ahead of Kieran Gibbs and Tomas Rosicky respectively as Arsene Wenger faces the luxury of a near-fully fit squad.

DID YOU KNOW?

QPR have two former Arsenal players in their ranks, Armand Traore and Jay Bothroyd.

Park Ji-Sung has scored five goals against Arsenal in his career, all coming for Manchester United.

Since QPR's return to the Premier League in August 2011, the Gunners have failed to score more than a single goal in any of their three encounters with them.

The Rs won the same fixture 2-1 last term thanks to goals from Adel Taarabt and Samba Diakite.

Arsenal are top of the Premier League form table with 14 points from their last six matches, one ahead of London rivals Chelsea.

Santi Cazorla (pictured right) has been Arsenal's only ever-present in the Premier League this season, starting 34 of their 35 matches played so far and appearing as a substitute in the other.

Jack Wilshere returned to first-team action for Arsenal in the reverse fixture with QPR earlier this season. He has gone on to make 32 more appearances for club and country since then. Bet365 offer 3/1 on Wilshere scoring at anytime v QPR.

Povrede muče Rejkjavik SRĐAN TUFEGDŽIĆ (AKUREJRI) PRED POČETAK PRVENSTVA ISLANDA

Mnogi završavaju prvenstva, a u ligi Islanda na programu je prvo kolo. Tajne tamošnjeg fudbala i ove sezone otkrivaće nam Srđan Tufegdžić, pomoćni trener drugoligaša Akurejrija.
- Lokalni mediji su ovih dana izdvojili četiri favorita za titulu – otkriva nam Tufegdžić. – To su Rejkjavik, Breidablik, Hafnarfjordur i Stjarnan.
U kakvoj formi su klubovi i da li je bilo promena u njima?
- Rejkjavik je najtrofejniji klub na Islandu, ali bi mogao da ima problema na početku prvenstva zbog brojnih povreda. Breidablik je godinama u usponu, a bio je najuspešniji u pripremnom periodu. Hafnarfjordur je standardno jak, a Stjarnan se „opasno” pojačao. Ova ekipa je dovela dvojicu povratnika iz inostranstva, ima odličnog trenera, a igrači su iskusni i dugo su na okupu.

MOJ TIP
Vestmanejar – Akranes 1
BREIDABLIK – TOR 1
Vikingur – Fram 0-2
HAFNARFJORDUR – KEFLAVIK 1
Filkir – Valur 3+
Rejkjavik – Stjarnan 2, 2-3

04.05. (Sat) 16:00 Tottenham - Southampton

PROBABLE LINEUPS

TOTTENHAM
Lloris
Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Assou-Ekotto
Dembele, Parker
Lennon, Holtby, Bale
Defoe

SOUTHAMPTON
Boruc
Clyne, Yoshida, Hooiveld, Shaw
Davis, Schneiderlin, Cork
Lallana, Lambert, Rodriguez

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has a few first-team members missing for the visit of Southampton on Saturday but has no new injury concerns.

Brazilian midfielder Sandro (knee) is not expected to play again this season, while Younes Kaboul (also knee) and William Gallas (calf) are still doubtful.

Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino does not have many fitness issues with which to contend but two red cards last time out against West Brom have ensued selection problems.

Left-back Danny Fox and Gaston Ramirez were both sent off in the defeat to Steve Clarke's team, meaning that neither will be available at White Hart Lane.

The Saints' only injury worry is Richard Chaplow (back) but he could make an appearance on the bench.

DID YOU KNOW?

Out of the last 11 previous clashes between these two sides at White Hart Lane, Tottenham have won nine and lost just twice.

Spurs have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last nine league matches. Tottenham are 6/5 with Bet365 to keep a clean sheet in this game.

No other Premier League player has scored more goals from outside of the penalty area than Gareth Bale. He has seven.

Meanwhile, no other team has more goals scored from outside of the area than Spurs (12).

Southampton have not conceded a goal away from home in league for 281 minutes.

However, they have only won two of their last 11 matches on the road.

West Brom are the only side to beat Mauricio Pochettino's team in their last seven fixtures.

Prediction
With just a handful of matches left to secure Champions League football, Spurs will be all-out for three points against a Southampton side with little for which to play, meaning that a home win looks the most likely outcome.

Editor's Prediction
Tottenham 3-1 Southampton

04.05. (Sat) 16:00 Swansea - Manchester City


PROBABLE LINEUPS

SWANSEA CITY
Vorm
Rangel, Chico, Williams, Taylor
Ki, Britton
Routledge, De Guzman, Hernandez
Michu

MANCHESTER CITY
Hart
Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy
Yaya Toure, Barry
Silva, Tevez, Milner
Aguero

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup is unlikely to make too many changes from the side who lost 2-0 in their previous match away to Chelsea. Neil Taylor came off the bench in that game to make his comeback from a long spell on the sidelines and he could start in place of Ben Davies.

Michu is again set to start up front with support expected to come from fellow Spaniard Pablo Hernandez. The Swans should have a fully fit squad from which to choose against last season's Premier League title winners.

As for the visitors, Roberto Mancini could make a couple of changes from the starting XI which beat West Ham 2-1. Matija Nastasic may come in in place of Joleon Lescott.

Further forward, James Milner and Javi Garcia are both pushing for starts. Sergio Aguero is set to keep his place in attack, with Mancini likely to rest him for their midweek game ahead of the FA Cup final against Wigan.

DID YOU KNOW?

Swansea City have failed to win any of their last six league matches, losing four and drawing two.

The Swans have scored 43 goals in the Premier League this season - the lowest amount of any of the sides inside the top nine.

The game between the two sides earlier in the season finished in a 1-0 win to City, with Carlos Tevez scoring in the second half.

Tevez is his side's highest scorer this season, with 17 goals, as well as having provided the joint-highest number of assists with seven, the same as Samir Nasri and David Silva. Tevez is 8/1 with Bet365 to score two or more goals in this game.

Manchester City are the fifth-highest scorers in the league away from home this season with 23 goals. Manchester United (36) have scored the most.

Mancini's side have only lost five games in the league this season, just one more than United.
