Title Race – Two Giants in Lockstep

Urawa Reds (JAP) remain at the summit on 54 points, but only by goal difference over Bolívar (BOL), who matched their win this round to keep the pressure on. Both teams have an impressive 18 wins from 19 games, and their near-perfect records mean the title race could be decided by a single slip.

FC Tokyo (JAP) sit 3rd, just one point off the top after another win, making this a thrilling three-way battle for first.

Newell’s (ARG) in 4th and Cerezo Osaka (JAP) in 5th are holding steady, but with a small gap to the leaders, their title hopes are fading without a dramatic collapse from the top three.

Top Half Climbers and Sliders

• Newcastle United (UK) rose two places to 8th after an important win.

• Unión Española (CHI) also gained two spots to 11th thanks to a solid run of form.

• Atletico Madrid (SPA) and Sevilla (SPA) continue to hover around mid-table but have shown flashes of strong play.

On the flip side, Hamburger SV (GER) and Manchester City (UK) both slipped one position, each losing crucial points in tight matches.

Relegation Scrap – Alarm Bells Ringing

The bottom three are unchanged, but the gap to safety is growing:

• Rosario (ARG) remain 31st, just above the drop zone but looking shaky.

• America (MEX) stay rooted to last with a nine-game losing streak and the joint-worst goal difference (-30).

• Zenit Saint Petersburg (RUS) are 30th and struggling to find consistency.

Babuna (MCD) and Necaxa (MEX) are also in danger, hovering just above the relegation zone with poor recent form.
