Newly-crowned Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are unlikely to change too much from the side that clinched their third French title at Olympique Lyonnais last week.

Marco Verratti and Salvatore Sirigu return from suspension and should feature, with Carlo Ancelotti insisting that the club will not slow down despite the title being sealed last week.

Former England captain David Beckham - who announced his intention to retire at the end of the season - will likely start on the bench for what will be his final home game of a glittering career.

Stade Brestois, who were relegated following Evian's 4-0 win over Nice last weekend, are also unlikely to differ too much in starting personnel, though coach Corentin Martins has hinted at a reshuffle.

DID YOU KNOW?
Paris Saint-Germain have won the Ligue 1 title for only the third time in their history at Lyon last weekend.
Carlo Ancelotti's side are unbeaten in their last nine Ligue 1 fixtures.
The capital club are unbeaten in their last 11 home league games, winning nine of those.
Stade Brestois became the first side to be relegated from this season's Ligue 1 following 17th-placed Evian's 4-0 win over Nice.
Brest have only won once in their last 12 visits to the capital.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has 27 goals in the top-flight, three less than the entire Brest team (30).

Prediction
The stark contrast between the two sides is evident. The newly-crowned champions take on an already- relegated side, who have nothing but pride to play for. Brest have been undeniably poor in the last two months, with consecutive losses adding to their demise. Expect a comfortable home win in front of their own fans.

PSG 3-0 Brest

Juventus have already been crowned champions and Sampdoria are safe from a final day relegation battle - which should surely mean nothing more than a pedestrian-paced dead rubber on Sunday.

But the Bianconeri were stung by their hosts this weekend back in January, going down 2-1 at Juventus Stadium thanks to Mauro Icardi's double, and that may add spice to this final day encounter.

Antonio Conte is likely to name a strong side but will again be without Nicklas Bendtner, Kwadwo Asamoah, Andrea Barzagli and Simone Pepe.

Sampdoria have enjoyed a solid first season back in Serie A and, though they are without Andrea Costa, Jonathan Rossini and Nenad Krsticic through injury, as well as the suspended Renan, they will hope to finish the campaign by ruffling Juve's feathers for a second time.

DID YOU KNOW?
Juventus have firmly sealed their status as Serie A's finest side with a second imperious campaign on the bounce & they go into Sunday's game nine points clear at the top.

The Bianconeri have achieved their domestic dominance without a prolific centre forward. Mirko Vucinic is the club's top scorer this season with 10 goals.
The first fixture between these two sides saw Sampdoria stun Juventus 2-1 back in January, with Mauro Icardi scoring twice.
Sampdoria were promoted from Serie B last season and can finish as high as their current 15th position.
Icardi is the club's top goalscorer with nine strikes to his name - with his efforts reportedly catching the eye of Inter.
Samp coach Delio Rossi replaced Ciro Ferrara as coach in December.

Prediction
The game is effectively a dead rubber, but with several Juventus players being given the opportunity to impress by Antonio Conte, expect the Bianconeri to record a reverse of the scoreline when the two teams met back in January.

Editor's Prediction
Sampdoria 1-2 Juventus

Freiburg will be without several players for the visit of S04. Key man Daniel Caligiuri will miss out, meaning that Max Kruse will play on the left, with Karim Guede partnering Jan Rosenthal up front.

Pavel Krmas (ankle), Marco Terrazzino (knee) are both out, but Mensur Mujdza could well feature at right-back but remains a doubt with a toe problem.

Schalke will be able to welcome back Julian Draxler, who sat out the 2-1 loss to Stuttgart due to suspension, with Raffael dropping to the bench.

Saed Kolasiac is also in line for a return at left-back in the place of Christian Fuchs, who has endured a disappointing season. Defenders Christoph Metzelder and Kyriakos Papadopoulos are out, along with wingers Ibrahim Afellay, Tranquillo Barnetta and Chinedu Obasi.

DID YOU KNOW?
Frieburg have recorded 11 wins over Schalke in their Bundesliga history - more than against any other side.
Only one clash between the two sides at the Mage Solar Stadion has ended all square - a 0-0 draw in February 2010.
Christian Streich's side have won their last three games at home.
Schalke star Julian Draxler is set to make his 75th Bundesliga appearance - he will become the first 19-year-old to reach this figure.
Jens Keller's side have only taken 19 points on the road this season, just two more than already-relegated Greuther Furth.
Schalke have conceded 49 goals this season, more than any of the last 14 seasons.

Prediction
Schalke have had a topsy-turvy season by anyone's definition but they have one final chance for redemption on Saturday. With Draxler back in the side and Huntelaar leading the line, their superior quality should see them through.

SC Freiburg 1-2 Schalke

Jupp Heynckes will bow out of the Bundesliga in his hometown when he takes his treble-chasing Bayern Munich to face Borussia Monchengladbach on the final day of the season.

The outgoing coach will take charge of die Roten for the final time in Germany’s top flight, facing the side that he was almost synonymous with throughout his playing career.

On the pitch, Bayern’s line-up is expected to reflect their imminent Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund and the visitors will be hoping to rest a number of key figures ahead of next week’s final in London.

That means the likes of Mario Gomez, Xherdan Shaqiri and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk are all likely to get the nod for the visit to Stadion im Borussia-Park, however full-back Rafinha is still suspended after his dismissal in the 1-1 draw with Dortmund earlier in the month.

Gladbach still have faint hopes of securing a Europa League spot going into the final day but they need other results to go their way and a six-goal swing if they are to pip either Eintracht Frankfurt or Hamburg to sixth place.

Coach Lucien Favre is sweating over the fitness of Alvaro Dominguez after the central defender sat out of training most of this week with a thigh injury, while it remains to be seen if last week’s hat-trick hero, 20-year-old Branimir Hrgota, will retain his place up top.

DID YOU KNOW?
A win in their final league match would see Bayern Munich become the first team in Bundesliga history to break the 90 points barrier.
Heynckes' men are also likely to set a new record for the tightest defence in German history having only conceded 15 goals the entire season - the current record is 21.
Brazilian defender Dante is set to return to Borussia Park for the first time since he left Gladbach for Munich last summer.
Borussia Monchengladbach held Bayern to a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena when these two sides met earlier in the season.
You have to go back to January 2006 to find die Roten's last league triumph over die Fohlen at Borussia Park.
Branimir Hrgota blasted himself into Bundesliga history last weekend against Mainz by becoming only the seventh player to score a hat-trick on his full league debut.

Prediction
I expect Bayern to end their league campaign on a high and march into their Champions League showdown with Dortmund on the back of a comfortable win in Gladbach, despite the home side still clinging on to the hope of clinching European football next season.

Editor's Prediction
Mönchengladbach 1-3 Bayern

Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane will miss the Copa del Rey final against Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu after suffering a knee injury in the 1-1 draw at Espanyol last weekend.

However, Alvaro Arbeloa (back), Sergio Ramos (hamstring), Marcelo (muscle tear) and Mesut Ozil (ankle) are all expected to be available after overcoming injuries, while Pepe could be recalled after being ostracised from the squad for publicly criticising boss Jose Mourinho.

Atletico midfielder Mario Suarez has recovered from a back problem and is set to return to the starting line-up in place of Tiago.

Coach Diego Simeone has no other injury concerns and could name a similar side to the one that lost 2-1 at home to Real in La Liga in April.

DID YOU KNOW?
Real Madrid are on a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions, winning four.
Los Blancos are the only side to remain unbeaten at home across all competitions in Europe's top five leagues this season (W23, D5).
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored eight goals in as many appearances for Real against Atletico Madrid.
Real have scored in 19 consecutive Copa del Rey games stretching back to January 2011.
Atletico Madrid have won just one of their last four matches in La Liga (W1, D1, L2).
The nine-time Copa del Rey winners are on a 25-match winless run against Real in all competitions stretching back to October 1999.
Eight of Atletico's nine cup triumphs were secured at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Diego Costa is the Copa del Rey's top scorer this season with seven goals.

Prediction
Atletico have done well in finals in recent seasons having won the Europa League and the Uefa Super Cup in both 2010 and 2012, but they will start Friday's final as underdogs owing to their appalling record against their city rivals in recent derbies. An understrength and distracted Real outfit managed to best Atletico in April and the former will be confident of doing the same again in the familiar surroundings of the Bernabeu.

Editor's Prediction
Real Madrid 2-1 Atl. Madrid
