Reims v Rennes

Although the Ligue 1 title is all but wrapped up, the battle for the top four is intensifying in France and Rennes are in a prime position to qualify for the Champions League.

They have enjoyed some great results recently, smashing Lyon 4-2 and Metz 6-1 as part of a run of six wins in eight games in all competitions.

With 17 goals to his name, Martin Terrier has entered the race to finish top scorer in France this season and he can help Rennes record another key win away to Reims.

Reims can be tough opponents on their day but their performance level has dipped recently. They lost 1-0 to Troyes last time out and have managed only one victory in their last four contests.

Mallorca v Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid gave a perfect demonstration of parking the bus in their 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday, operating at times with a 5-5-0 formation and failing to register a shot in the match.

However, upon their return to domestic duties they can be expected to adopt a less cautious approach and they can overpower Mallorca.

Atleti put four goals past Alaves in their last league contest and they have won each of their last six La Liga matches, scoring at least twice in all but one of those games.

Mallorca are staring down the barrel at relegation this season and will not be helped in this match by the absence of suspended defender Franco Russo.

Greuther Furth v Borussia Monchengladbach

It has been a pretty forgettable season for Borussia Monchengladbach but they have shown signs that they can finish the campaign on a strong note.

Gladbach have taken seven points from their last three matches against Hertha Berlin, Bochum and Mainz and although those games were not against top-level opposition, they stand them in good stead for Saturday's clash with Greuther Furth.

Furth have been rooted to the foot of the Bundesliga table since September and are preparing for life back in the second tier.

They have 18 defeats to their name this term and even a Gladbach team who have struggled for consistency should have no issue taking maximum points in this one.
