League: Champions League – Semi Final
Prediction: Arsenal win (Arsenal vs PSG)
Arsenal host PSG at the Emirates Stadium in what promises to be a thrilling Champions League semi-final clash. Riding high after a dominant display against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, where they won 3-0 in the first leg and 2-1 in the second, Mikel Arteta’s side have been in outstanding form. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last five matches and will be looking to carry that momentum into one of their biggest games of the season.
PSG arrive in North London having only lost once in their last five outings, a 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa, though they had comfortably beaten the same side 3-1 in the first leg. However, the Emirates has been a fortress for Arsenal this season, and with the backing of a fired-up home crowd and confidence soaring after dispatching Madrid, the hosts look well-placed to take a crucial step toward the final. Backing an Arsenal win here could be the smart move.

League: Champions League – Semi Final
Prediction: Barcelona win (Barcelona vs Inter Milan)
Barcelona welcome Inter Milan to the iconic Camp Nou for a high-stakes Champions League semi-final showdown. Despite a 3-1 defeat to Dortmund after a commanding 4-0 first leg victory, Barcelona have maintained a winning rhythm, recently edging past Celta Vigo 4-3 and securing a solid 1-0 win over Mallorca. Their ability to grind out results even when not at their dominant best shows the resilience and attacking edge they bring into this crucial fixture.
Inter Milan, on the other hand, enter the match off the back of two disappointing defeats — a 1-0 loss to Bologna followed by a heavy 3-0 defeat to city rivals AC Milan. With their recent form faltering and momentum slipping, the Italians will face an uphill battle against a Barcelona side eager to reclaim European glory. Playing at home and with their confidence building, now is the perfect time to back a Barcelona win.

League: Europa League – Semi Final
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals (Athletico Bilbao vs Man-United)
Athletic Bilbao take on Manchester United in a Europa League semi-final that promises to be tightly contested. History supports a low-scoring affair, with each of their last three meetings producing under 2.5 goals. While United did register a dramatic 5-4 win over Lyon, such attacking fireworks are unlikely to be repeated against a more defensively disciplined Bilbao side.
Bilbao’s recent form also points towards a low-scoring encounter, with no more than four goals shared in any of their last five matches. Their most notable result in that run was a 3-1 win over Rayo Vallecano, and they have consistently prioritised structure and stability over flair. With both teams likely to be cautious in such a high-stakes fixture, backing under 2.5 goals is the smart play.

League: English Premier League
Prediction: Liverpool win (Cheslea vs Liverpool)
Chelsea face a tough challenge at Stamford Bridge as they host a high-flying Liverpool side in Premier League action. Sitting sixth in the table, Chelsea have shown flashes of form but have struggled for consistency all season. Liverpool, on the other hand, remain top of the table and have lost just two matches all campaign, both within the last two months.
With three wins from their last five outings, Liverpool continue to showcase their title credentials, while Chelsea’s recent run of two wins, two draws and a loss highlights their ongoing inconsistency. Given the gap in form and momentum, it’s worth backing Liverpool to take all three points.

League: League 1
Prediction: Over 1.5 goals (Lille vs Marseille)
Lille and Marseille face off in a key Ligue 1 fixture with plenty at stake for both sides. While Lille have had the upper hand in recent meetings, including a 3-1 and 2-1 victory, Marseille’s strong position at second in the table sets the stage for a potentially competitive clash. Both teams are known for producing goals when they meet, and this encounter should be no different.
With Lille pushing to close the gap and Marseille looking to maintain their top-two standing, an open game is expected. Given their recent head-to-head record and attacking tendencies, this match is primed for goals. Back over 1.5 goals in this encounter.
