League: English Premier League

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals (Aston Villa vs Tottenham)

Aston Villa and Tottenham face off in what promises to be a closely contested encounter. Villa have picked up three wins from their last five matches, while Tottenham have been less consistent with two wins, two losses and a draw.

Their previous meeting ended 2-1 to Villa, but both sides have shown signs of tightening up defensively in recent weeks. With neither team showing overwhelming attacking dominance, this fixture could see limited chances. Back under 2.5 goals scored in this match.

League: English Premier League

Prediction: Draw (Chelsea vs Man-United)

Chelsea and Manchester United meet in what is expected to be a tightly balanced Premier League clash. Both sides are enjoying strong runs, with Chelsea reaching the Conference League final and United progressing to the Europa League final.

Playing at Stamford Bridge gives Chelsea a slight edge, but United’s resilience and attacking options make this a well-matched contest. With both teams riding high on recent success, backing a draw is a sensible choice.

League: FA CupFinal

Prediction: Man-City to win (Crystal Palace vs Man-City)

Crystal Palace face a huge challenge as they take on Manchester City in the FA Cup final. Palace come into this fixture unbeaten in their last five, but with just two wins, while City have been clinical, winning four of their last five and conceding just once in that stretch.

City’s experience in major finals and their current form make them clear favourites for this clash. With their defensive solidity and attacking depth, backing a Manchester City win looks like the smart call.

Prediction: Over 1.5 goals (Arsenal vs Newcastle)

Arsenal take on Newcastle in what promises to be a high-stakes clash between second and third in the Premier League. With both teams pushing for a strong finish to the season, the intensity will be high and chances likely to be plenty.

Despite Arsenal’s recent Champions League disappointment against PSG, their attacking quality remains strong, while Newcastle will look to capitalise and apply pressure. Back over 1.5 goals being scored in this exciting encounter.
