League: Champions League – Semi Final

Prediction: Barcelona to qualify (Inter Milan vs Barcelona)

Inter Milan host Barcelona in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, with the tie finely balanced at 3-3 from the first encounter. Inter’s recent form has been underwhelming, going five matches without a win, including three losses. Their defence has looked shaky, and they’ll face a tough challenge containing Barcelona’s attack once again.

Barcelona, on the other hand, head into this match with momentum on their side after three wins in their last five outings. Their ability to rise to the occasion in big games was on display in the first leg, and they’ll back themselves to finish the job in Italy. Back Barcelona to qualify for the final.

League: Champions League – Semi Final

Prediction: PSG to qualify (PSG vs Arsenal)

PSG take a narrow 1-0 advantage into the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal after securing a crucial away win in London. The French side have been a dominant force all season, suffering just one loss in Ligue 1, and their European campaign has been marked by consistency and resilience.

Arsenal face an uphill battle trying to overturn the deficit at the Parc des Princes, where PSG have been formidable. With home advantage and strong recent form, PSG are well positioned to finish the job and progress to the final. Back PSG to qualify.

League: Europa League

Prediction: Man-United to qualify (Man-United vs Athletico Bilbao)

Manchester United delivered a commanding 3-0 victory in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao, putting one foot firmly in the final. Despite a turbulent domestic season, United showed their quality and composure on the European stage with a dominant display.

With the second leg taking place at Old Trafford, it’s difficult to see Bilbao mounting a comeback against a side full of confidence and backed by a home crowd. Back Manchester United to qualify.

Kick-off: 17.30 pm

League: English Premier League

Prediction: Over 1.5 goals (Liverpool vs Arsenal)

Liverpool have been the standout team this Premier League season, already securing the title with dominant performances throughout. With four wins in their last five matches, their form remains strong, despite a narrow 3-2 loss to Fulham. Arsenal, currently in second place, have struggled for consistency with just two wins from their last five games. Playing at Anfield, where Liverpool have been nearly unstoppable, it’s hard to see past a home victory. Back a Liverpool win, which looks the most likely outcome.
