In the upcoming round of matches, there are several teams in various leagues that will face critical games, where a must-win result is necessary to either stay in the race for European spots, avoid relegation, or maintain momentum in their respective campaigns. Here are some teams that urgently need a win in their next matches:

1. Leeds United (Premier League)

• Why it’s a must-win: Leeds is fighting against relegation, and every point counts for them. The Premier League is unforgiving, and they are dangerously close to the drop zone. A win against a mid-table or lower-team side is crucial to staying clear of the relegation zone.
• Next match: Leeds needs to secure three points in any upcoming match, especially when facing a team below them in the standings.

2. Everton (Premier League)

• Why it’s a must-win: Much like Leeds, Everton is also in a relegation battle and needs to get points to avoid slipping further down the table. With managerial instability and inconsistency in their performances, a win is crucial to rebuilding confidence and survival hopes.
• Next match: Facing a direct relegation rival or a team with similar aspirations (such as Nottingham Forest or Southampton) will be a pivotal encounter.

3. Valencia (La Liga)

• Why it’s a must-win: Valencia is in danger of relegation, currently in the bottom half of the La Liga table. They have underperformed this season and need to pick up points quickly to avoid dropping into the relegation zone.
• Next match: A win against a mid-table team or one of their relegation rivals will be crucial. Matches against teams like Elche or Getafe are must-win for their survival.

4. Borussia Mönchengladbach (Bundesliga)

• Why it’s a must-win: Borussia Mönchengladbach is in a similar situation to Valencia, struggling in the Bundesliga. They are fighting to stay out of the relegation zone, and the upcoming match could determine their survival chances.
• Next match: A key match against VfL Bochum or Schalke 04 (teams in the lower half of the table) could be decisive. A win here would provide breathing room in the league.

5. Sevilla FC (La Liga)

• Why it’s a must-win: Sevilla, despite their historic success, has been inconsistent in La Liga this season. They are fighting for a top-half finish and securing European football for next season. A slip-up in the next few games could end their hopes of a top-six finish.
• Next match: A win against teams like Real Betis or Villarreal (both in the mid-to-lower end of the table) would give Sevilla the boost they need to stay competitive for European spots.

6. AS Roma (Serie A)

• Why it’s a must-win: Roma is in the race for a top-four finish in Serie A, which would guarantee them a Champions League spot next season. With Juventus and Atalanta competing for the same positions, Roma needs to maintain their form and secure crucial wins.
• Next match: Their upcoming clash against a team like Atalanta or Lazio will be key to staying in the Champions League race. Dropping points in such fixtures could see them fall behind in the race for Europe.

7. Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga)

• Why it’s a must-win: Borussia Dortmund is aiming for a Champions League spot, but with tight competition from teams like Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig, a loss in any of their upcoming matches could derail their top-four hopes.
• Next match: Matches against mid-table teams like Hoffenheim or Wolfsburg are must-wins to stay competitive at the top of the table and maintain pressure on the leaders.

8. Crystal Palace (Premier League)

• Why it’s a must-win: Crystal Palace has been in poor form and is hovering near the relegation zone in the Premier League. A loss would increase their anxiety about falling into the bottom three.
• Next match: A game against a struggling side like Southampton or Nottingham Forest would be a vital match in their bid to remain in the Premier League. They need to take advantage of games against direct relegation rivals.

9. Roma (Serie A)

• Why it’s a must-win: Roma is fighting for a top-four finish in Serie A, which would secure Champions League qualification. They need to keep pace with rivals like Juventus, Atalanta, and Lazio.
• Next match: Games against direct rivals for European spots, like Atalanta or Lazio, will be crucial. Dropping points in such matches could have major implications for their top-four hopes.

10. FC Barcelona (La Liga)

• Why it’s a must-win: While Barcelona is currently performing well at the top of the La Liga table, their next match is critical in maintaining their grip on first place. Any slip-up could allow teams like Real Madrid to close the gap and make the title race tighter.
• Next match: A victory against teams like Real Sociedad or Atletico Madrid is essential for keeping their momentum going, particularly when facing direct competitors.
