Take a look at the league matches and see who you are against in game 26, it's a pretty good bet you will be either above or below that team.
It's happened to me every season so far.
Team 1 is currently in 2nd place 2 points clear of 3rd place. 1st place is out of reach. Who am I playing? 3rd place of course.
Team 2 is in 1st place, leading by........ 2 points. No prizes for guessing who I have to play today.
Both teams had much better leads, but after some strange results recently, it is all tight at the end of the season, once again.
It is quite a coincidence that it happens EVERY season.
