The European soccer calendar is in a full on sprint to the finish, as title races, top four, and relegation are starting to be decided. With only a few weeks left in the season it is important to know the motivation for each club. Some clubs have nothing left to play for in terms of Champions League, Europa League and relegation, while others have everything up for grabs.

The European soccer calendar is so congested at the moment. With some teams playing three matches in a 10-day span, some managers might rotate their squads to rest some players. It would probably be a good idea to wait until starting lineups come out an hour before kickoff before placing a wager.
