Primera Division 2010 2011 Athletic Bilbao Villarreal
week 29 20th march:
Villarreal defender Jose Manuel Catala believes today’s clash with Athletic Bilbao will have an impact on the race for Champions League football. The Yellow Submarine are currently three points behind third-placed Valencia despite a poor run of form that has seen them win just one of their last seven outings, but they do hold an eight-point lead over fifth-placed Espanyol.
Athletic are a further point behind, and Catala believes a win for Villarreal today would eliminate their hosts from the race for third. He said: “We have a good cushion of points, but we are going to San Mames with all the desire in the world. “It's not a decisive game, but if we beat them you could say we would discard a direct rival.” While Villarreal head into this game on the back of a Europa League victory over Bayer Leverkusen, their last domestic outing ended in a disappointing draw with Sporting Gijon. Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, were held to a 2-2 draw by Getafe last time out.Primera Division 2010 2011 Valencia Sevilla on MiamiGunners Match Of The Week
20th march 2011:
valencia v. sevilla
Valencia sit in third place. Second place looks out of reach for them, as they trail Real Madrid by 16 points. Depending on this result and others, they could be leapfrogged by Villarreal which would leave them in fourth place. Los Che have won two of their last five games, losing two and drawing one. They also found themselves dumped out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage, courtesy of German side Schalke. Valencia have won 10 of their last 12 league meetings with Sevilla.
Sevilla are currently in eighth place in La Liga after enduring a disappointing campaign so far. This weekend could see them move up to sixth, but they cannot drop any further. Los Nervionenses have also won only two of their last five games, picking up two draws, including last weekends 1-1 draw with league leaders Barcelona, and one loss. Before Jesus Navas' goal against Barcelona, the last time a Spanish player that wasn't Alvaro Negredo found the net for Sevilla was against Valencia. Goalkeeper Andres Palop has returned to full training for Sevilla after a long injury lay-off, though it is widely expected that Javi Varas will start between the sticks in this game. January signing Gary Medel is a doubt for the match, as he was allowed to return to his native Chile during the week.Sunday, March 20, 2011
Campionato 2010 2011 Inter Lecce on MiamiGunners Match Of The Week

internazionale milano v. lecce
The Nerazzurri head into tomorrow's match against Lecce in buoyant mood after advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals this week. Inter won 3-2 at Bayern Munich to progress on away goals and set up a meeting with Schalke 04 next month. "It's going to be a difficult game against Schalke," said Inter striker Goran Pandev, who scored the winner against Bayern on Tuesday.
"You have to be a strong team to reach the last eight of the competition."We expect a difficult tie but we will do all we can to defend our European title."
Leonardo's men, who have also made it through to the Coppa Italia semi-finals, must now turn their attention back to the domestic competition.
Inter go into tomorrow's match in second place, trailing five points behind Serie A leaders AC Milan after last weekend's 1-1 draw at Brescia although that could be greater come the game given their city rivals play today.
"We have to concentrate in the league," said Pandev. "Because from now on, every game will be a final."
In the last meeting, on 10 november, an injury-ravaged Inter side took a 76th minute lead thanks to a goal by Diego Milito but the champions were unable to fend off a spirited rally by Lecce who equalised through Ruben Olivera's header 10 minutes from time.
P.L. 2010 2011 Tottenham West Ham on MiamiGunners Match Of The Week
2010/11 week 3019th march 2011:
tottenham hotspur v. west ham united
The game could have huge ramifications for both clubs, with three points very much a must for each side.
Harry Redknapp faces his former club, looking for his current side Spurs to go level with fourth placed Chelsea.
West Ham are currently sitting third from bottom in the Premier League, so points are obviously in desperate need for the Hammers. But history is not on West Ham's side as they have not won at White Hart Lane since 1999. Should West Ham seal victory, they could in theory move as high as 12th with a win - which shows just how close the bottom of the Premier League is.

Tottenham are almost certain to welcome back Gareth Bale to their starting line-up. The Welsh ace has not started a game since the end of January but he is now fit again and should face West Ham. Redknapp will wait until Saturday morning before deciding on William Gallas, who picked up a hamstring injury earlier in the week. Jermain Defoe will also be hoping for a recall to face his former club. West Ham welcome back Gary O'Neil into the their squad as he was cup-tied for their match with Stoke last week.
