It seemed like only yesterday Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Monaco were being crowned league champions, but in a few short weeks they will begin to defend their titles. With the Ligue 1 season kicking off on 4 August, Serie A following on 11 August, and La Liga and the Bundesliga beginning a week later, now is the time to tell us how your club will fare in the coming year.

Has your team looked good in pre-season? Has your manager invested heavily in new players or is the squad in need of a few minor tweaks? How will Serie A newcomers Benevento and SPAL perform this season? Will Girona make La Liga a better place? How will Hannover 96 and VfB Stuttgart cope after a year away from the Bundesliga? Whichever club you follow, we’d like to hear your reasons for optimism and pessimism. We’ll feature a round-up of your responses on the site before the leagues kick off in August.
