The relegation battle remains tense. Marcos are bottom, ФК Анђелија are three points from safety, and Arsenal sit in the last relegation place only on goal difference.

Vladimir Daher scored five to join Milorad Nikolic at the top of the scoring chart on 13 league goals, while Mikolaj Pawlowski and Bozidar Krkac also added to the total. With three rounds left and an eight-point lead, Red Bull are almost there in the Champions Cup race. A win today would secure it.
Grosuplje Dreamteam remain second and still hold the Challenge Cup place, but their 0:0 draw with FC Loče Soccer Academy opened the door behind them.

The cup picture keeps Merchtem2016 in the international story as well. They beat SC Betekom2:1 and sit sixth, but their national cup final against Goldstar gives them a second route. If Goldstar finish first and also win the cup, Merchtem would be in line to benefit from the cup path to the Challenge Cup; if Merchtem win the final themselves, the route is direct.
At the bottom, AS Beveren and Forza Gellik can no longer reach safety after defeats to Fc Bijou and EA SERREKES. Club Internationale still have a mathematical chance, but they are five points behind both Betekom and Serrekes with only three rounds left.
The next round brings hammertime against kfc de preistampers in a major test for second place, while Goldstar visit Club Internationale. Betekom against Serrekes could also shape the final survival picture.

The reigning champions are now second, only one point behind Sá City, and still hold the Challenge Cup place. Porto, Sumolix Stars, Sá FC and S. C. Pena d´Alva are all on 31 points, making the chase behind the top two unusually crowded.

The national cup final between Galacticos and Sá FC could still influence the international picture. Galacticos currently have the league route, while Sá FC remain close enough to fight for second and also have the direct cup route available if they win the final.
At the bottom, Sport Lisboa e Benfica are close to the drop after losing 2:0 to Vale Pisão. Desidrogenase and Grupo Desportivo remain in danger too, with Grupo three points above the relegation line before their meeting with Sá City.
The next round brings Galacticos against Machados, Porto away to Pena d´Alva, and Sá City against Grupo Desportivo, with pressure now spread across both ends of the table.

The next round brings a major title test as FC Albisrieden meet The steelheads. A win for the leaders would bring them close to sealing the crown, while Albisrieden need a response to protect second place. Fc Black Panther against fc schönspieler is another direct duel, with third place and the wider Challenge Cup picture in play. At the bottom, Stadtaffe’s point helped, but Fussballclub Zürich and Swiss Dribblers remain under heavy pressure.
Kouba Seal the Premiere Division Crown as Second Place Tightens
RC Kouba made the Champions Cup race official with a 3:1 win over Itihad.Riadi.Ouled.Nail. With three matches left and a ten-point lead, Kouba can no longer be caught, turning the final weeks into a question of how strongly they finish the league before their national cup final against USM.GAZA.
The fight behind them is still wide open. alger united remain second after edging Banu Zayan FC2:1, with Hamza Le Roux and Salah Lahmar adding to their totals. That win keeps the defending champions two points clear of Itihad and four ahead of Mouloudia Club Oran, who strengthened their own case with a 3:0 win over Kahla & Hamra.
USM Alger also stayed within range by beating WATlemcen & CCSig3:1, with Musa Tumer scoring twice to reach 12 league goals. M.C.Algiers improved their position sharply with a heavy win over USM.GAZA, but the cup picture means GAZA’s season still has a very different route: with Kouba already secured as league champions, USM.GAZA will have the cup path to the Challenge Cup if Kouba win the final, while winning it themselves would make the route direct.
The relegation battle remains tense. Kahla & Hamra, MPAlger and USM.GAZA are in the bottom three, but only four points separate seventh from last. MPAlger’s 1:1 draw with Ouchène Irougueln kept both sides in the fight.
The next round brings Kouba against M.C.Algiers, while Mouloudia host Itihad in a key match for the chase behind second. At the bottom, USM.GAZA against WATlemcen and Banu Zayan against MPAlger could reshape the survival picture.

Udi City F.C remain in control of the title race, but their 1:1 draw with Geny F.C gave the chase a little more life. The defending champions are five points clear with three matches left, so the Champions Cup ticket is still firmly in their hands, but they have now drawn two league games in a row — perhaps understandable with their upcoming Champions Cup final against Croatian champions Fight United Elite?
Guará E.C made the most of that slip by edging Avanti Palestra!2:1. Amir Levinstein and Matej Smrdel scored for Guará, while Henrique Matsuda replied for Avanti. The result keeps Guará second and strengthens their grip on the Challenge Cup place, though Touro do Sertão are still close enough to matter after a 1:0 win over Na Canela™, with Manuel Sagardoy Arce reaching seven league goals.
Nivek United also stayed in the upper-half fight with a 1:0 win at Candal FC, while Sport Club Flecha earned one of the round’s most important results by beating São Paulo F.C.1:0. That win carried extra weight at the bottom, where every point is now decisive.

The Lads face FC Newmarket in another important match near the top, while Étoile Bordjienne meet NorVan FC. Quebec’s national cup final against North Mississauga still keeps a separate Challenge Cup route open.
Fc MEWA made the clearest move in the title race, beating C.D. Guadalajara 5:0 to stay two points clear in the Champions Cup position. Alejandro Quintana and Maykon Tavares both scored twice, while Octopus MX kept close with a 2:0 win over C. D. Jorge Campos. The slip came from reigning champions Assisi Lagos Nueva Galicia, who were held 1:1 by Panteras Negras UAM and now sit four points off the top.
The next round brings a major showdown as Assisi Lagos Nueva Galicia host Fc MEWA, with the leaders able to push the former champions further from first place. Octopus MX visit Real Geminis, while C.D. Guadalajara and Ocelotes del Sur meet in a useful mid-table test.
