As you can see the battle to avoid relegation is very tight so every point matters in these last few rounds left. I think the two teams don't want to lose points here so I hope that each one is satisfied with the draw (both teams made a lot of them during the season) so I think this is a probable outcome.

4 Austria Wien (Am.) 30 14 8 8 46:29 50
5 Kärnten FC 30 13 5 12 45:36 44
6 FC Gratkorn 30 11 11 8 37:34 44

Guests are 3rd place(1 point behind 1st place) and need points here if they want to fight for first place. Home team has nothing to play for so the players are not under stress. These two teams have the most draws in their league so this outcome is probable so I will bet on it.

Arezzo (9-7-2 at home) are 3 points behind 6th place which is a playoff spot. They really need to win this game if they want to take a shot at Serie A. Rimini are sitting 5 points clear of relegation and they have no worries. Home team in need of points while away team can afford to lose => sure home win.

Steaua will score first and will play to keep the result. For more info see previous comment.

This is the classic romanian derby between the country's biggest teams. Dinamo was eliminated from the Uefa Cup and the domestic cup and they are concentrating on the championship. In the winter break they brought back some players to try to reconstruct the team that dominated the Romanian championship a couple of seasons ago. They failed miserably and the team is now a joke. They fired their coach Ioan Andone during the winter break although the team was in first place. They appointed a spanish one and after the team had some very bad results in some frendlies the executive director Ioan Becali (who brought the spanish coach) left and the coach was fired. One week before the season started they appointed their former coach Ion Marin but he was fired because he did not manage a win on home ground in 2 matches. Now the team is coached by Florin Marin and they struggled in midweek against the poorest team in the league FCM Bacau, managing to score in the 90th minute. As I said the team is a joke and they are not as good as they were in the first half of the season when they managed to come back from 2-0 and manage a draw 2-2 with Steaua in Ghencea.
Steaua is playing very well and has a solid team. Their goal is to win the Uefa Cup and the championship so they can try to qualify for the Champion's League group stage next season. They are 3 points behind Dinamo but have a game in hand so they must win. If they don't win Dinamo's lead will be hard to recuperate because Steaua also plays in the Uefa Cup. I don't know why the bookies are making Dinamo favorite here but the odds on Steaua are too attractive.

Inter have a one goal advantage from the first leg but Villareal scored the away goal. So a 1-0 victory of the home team means Villareal qualify. I think Inter will try to score the away goal to even it up and home team will score one for sure. I think it will end in a 1-1 draw with Inter going to the semifinals.

I think away team is more motivated to win this one. They are 1 point clear of 4th place Lorient and a game in hand. 3rd place is the last place which leads to 1st League. Home team has nothing to play for. They are 12th and are safe from relegation. Last game between these 2 teams ended 2-0 for Bastia.

Home team is on a good run. They need points in order to avoid relegation which is 5 points away. Away team is on a bad run losing 3 of their last 5 matches. They are not safe from relegation either. This is a low odd even for Serie B so I think this match is fixed on draw.

Steaua will be missing some regulars: Carlos, Goian, Paraschiv, Dica, Bostina and Iacob. Otelul are on a good run and they need points to avoid relegation. I think Otelul can hold Steaua at least until half time.

The end of this year's serie A is comming and a lot of teams in danger of relegation are starting to fix matches in order to avoid it. I remember last year when I saw an 1.4 odd on draw in an AS Roma match. These two teams are 13th and 14th and a friendly draw would help both of them.

Statisticaly both teams end most of their first halves draw. This is an even match. Nantes will not want to lose this one because the gap between them and the relegation spots will be smaller. Marseille will not want to lose this match because they are 1 point behind 5th place which goes to Uefa next year. If Marseille is going to win I think they will do it by scoring one in the second half.
