After the Round of 16 in the Champions League and Europa League, Europe's top leagues resume with Matchday 25, featuring Friday's opening fixtures and Sunday’s closing games. In the Bundesliga, the action kicks off with Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. Mainz, a match promising goals and excitement. Both teams are battling for a spot in the top four, with Mainz enjoying a remarkable season and currently sitting in the Champions League zone.
Another key matchup sees Freiburg face RB Leipzig, with just two points separating the sides in fifth and sixth place. Bayern Munich is set for a seemingly straightforward home fixture against Bochum, while league leaders Bayer Leverkusen take on a struggling Werder Bremen. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund vs. Augsburg is a classic do-or-die encounter, with both teams aiming to break into the top seven. Finally, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg have an opportunity to climb the standings in their respective fixtures against Holstein Kiel and St. Pauli, both of whom are fighting to avoid relegation.
In Ligue 1, Monaco faces a tricky test in the Friday night fixture against Toulouse. The Monegasques are pushing for third place but will have to contend with a side that has lost just once in its last five games. Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, travels to a difficult away match at Rennes, aiming to maintain both its lead at the top and its unbeaten league record. However, it won’t be easy against a team that has collected 12 points from its last five matches. Lille could take advantage of the situation with a favorable home clash against bottom-placed Montpellier, while Saturday’s action concludes with a pivotal encounter between Marseille and Lens. De Zerbi’s men are determined to hold onto second place, while the visitors are eager to snap a four-match losing streak.
