A particularly boring conclusion to most domestic leagues around Europe but some relegation battles still to be decided:
The Bundesliga could see both Hamburg and Stuttgart relegated. The bottom of the table currently looks like this with one game to play:

Paderborn are at home to Stuttgart and so can overtake them and move to the playoff spot.
Hamburg are at home to a dysfunctional Schalke and might fancy their chances of getting 3 points there. That would mean even a draw for Stuttgart would leave Stuttgart in trouble. Hamburg have never been relegated and pride themselves on that fact:
All games are at 1430 today. Hamburg v Schalke is on BT Sport 2.
@Horsebox will provide a summary of what’s at play in other leagues presently.
I’m not sure BT Sport are allowed to show a match at that time on a Saturday - Sky always have to defer their La Liga coverage because of the blackout when it crosses that 3pm slot. Anyway doesn’t seem to bother BT.
The huns are in the playoff, Zlatan has won yet another league title, hopefully Newcastle are going to be relegated tomorrow, the bianconeri won Serie A at christmas, Dundalk are top of the league and my beloved Videoton have won the Hungarian league. Huzzah!
Excellent drama in the Bundesliga. Think Hamburg will survive via the playoffs for the second straight year. Stuttgart won their last 3, including recovering from 0-1 deficits in their last two games against relegation rivals.

Second leg of Karlsruher v HSV is on BT Sport 1 tonight right now. It’s 1-1 on aggregate - away goals count*.
*Not only do they count, but the team with more of them progresses in the event of a tie.
