Get ready for another thrilling weekend of sports packed with essential football matches as the local season reaches its climax, along with the grand finale of the esteemed World Snooker Championship.
Saturday, 3rd May
RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich – 15:30 CET
Harry Kane is often regarded as the best footballer to have never lifted a trophy—sorry, Antonio Di Natale—but the Bayern Munich forward might finally change that this weekend with the Bundesliga title so close at hand.
Bayern Munich enter their clash against RB Leipzig aware that a victory will secure them the national championship for the 33rd time. This would mark their return to the pinnacle of German football after finishing behind Bayer Leverkusen last season and putting an end to one of the sport’s most notorious trophy droughts.
However, securing those vital three points won’t be a walk in the park for Vincent Kompany’s squad. With RB Leipzig also vying for Champions League qualification, they won’t be making things easy.
Unfortunately for Kane, he won’t be able to influence the outcome of the match due to suspension, but he’ll surely be desperate to see his teammates lift the Meisterschale by the end of the day.

World Snooker Championship final – 14:00 CET
The climax of snooker’s premier tournament arrives this Sunday and Monday, featuring China’s Zhao Xintong against either the world number one Judd Trump or three-time champion Mark Williams in the final showdown.
Zhao showcased his exceptional skills by defeating the legendary Ronnie O’Sullivan in a spectacular semi-final display on Friday, continuing his remarkable return from a two-year ban due to match-fixing.
Awaiting the talented 28-year-old in the final will either be Trump or Williams, who will resume their heated contest on Saturday morning, with the score poised at 8-8.
Trump aims to secure a second world title to complement his illustrious career, while Williams, fresh from celebrating his 50th birthday, is pursuing his fourth crown in Sheffield.
This weekend at the Crucible promises to be exhilarating—make sure you’re tuned in!

Club Brugge vs Anderlecht, Belgian Cup final – 18:00 CET
In their fourth encounter, Club Brugge and Anderlecht will clash once again in the Belgian Cup final. A decade since Blauw-Zwart‘s dramatic last-minute goal that sent the purple and white side into heartbreak, these two teams will battle it out at the national stadium in Brussels.
Club Brugge aims to clinch their third domestic double. Following a commanding victory against Gent in the Battle of Flanders on Thursday, leading them to the top of the league, the record cup holders are feeling optimistic heading into this fixture.
Having secured victories in the last five meetings, including three this season, Nicky Hayen’s men will enter the match as strong favourites.
Meanwhile, this encounter holds greater significance for Anderlecht. Unable to finish higher than fourth in the league, a cup triumph—which would be their first since 2008—is their best chance to salvage what has been a disappointing season so far.
Success in this match would also earn them a spot in the Europa League playoff round, which would be quite beneficial.

Bologna vs Juventus – 20:45 CET
This weekend, the competition for European qualification is intensifying, and no match is richer in storyline than Juventus’ visit to Bologna on Sunday.
The two sides are separated by just a point, with Juventus currently holding the final Champions League qualifying spot.
With everything at stake for entry into Europe’s top club competition, both teams will be eager to secure a win. However, historical outcomes suggest that may be an uphill battle—
their last four encounters have all ended in draws, including an earlier match this season that concluded 2-2.
Given the closely contested nature of previous matchups, this one promises to be an intriguing end to your weekend.
