There are also chances to impact the EPL title race and the possibility of head-to-head matchups in Germany and England.

That’s a lot and the action starts Friday afternoon so let’s get rolling. Friday Leeds United v Burnley – 3p on USA Network: Brenden Aaronson and Leeds United are in a decent spot in the relegation battle with three teams between them and the drop zone and a six point lead over Tottenham with four matches to play. Leeds can all but mathematically clinch safety with a win this weekend and a Spurs loss which would leave them nine points up with three to play.

Leeds fell to Chelsea last weekend in the FA Cup Semifinals and will look to bounce back against a Burnley side that saw their relegation fate officially sealed last weekend. Saturday Wrexham v Middlesbrough – 7:30a on Paramount+: Heading into the final weekend of English Championship play Aiden Morris and Middlesbrough have clinched no worse than a promotion playoff position. Middlesbrough could straight qualify with a win and an Ipswich Town loss combined with a loss or draw by Millwall.

Middlesbrough are facing a Wrexham side that currently sit in sixth place, the final playoff position, but are tied at seventy points with Hull City and having just a single point advantage in the goal differential column. Villarreal v Levante – 8a on ESPN Select: Alex Freeman received his first La Liga start last weekend and played 90’ as Villarreal defeated Celta Vigo 2-1. There are still five matches to play in Spain’s top flight and Villarreal have locked in a top four finish and Champions League qualification, though they are 20 points back of league leading Barcelona.
