League: Indian Premier League
Prediction: Challengers Bengaluru win (Lucknow Giants vs Challengers Bengaluru)
Lucknow Giants have struggled to find consistency in recent weeks, managing just one win in their last five matches. Their recent victory may offer a glimmer of hope, but four straight losses before that highlight a team still searching for form at a crucial stage in the tournament.
RCB, on the other hand, come into this clash riding a strong wave of momentum with four wins in their last five. Their squad is further bolstered by the arrival of Zimbabwean pacer Blessing Muzarabani, adding depth to their bowling attack. With form and confidence on their side, back RCB to take the win.

League: Conference League Final
Prediction: Chelsea win (Real Betis vs Chelsea)
Real Betis approach the Conference League final without much momentum, failing to secure a single win in their last four matches. With two draws and two defeats, including a heavy 4-1 loss to Atletico Madrid, their form offers little encouragement ahead of this crucial fixture.
Chelsea, in contrast, have hit their stride at the right time, winning four of their last five games and looking far more composed on the pitch. With confidence and quality on their side, expect a Chelsea win.

League: Champions League Final
Prediction: PSG win (PSG vs Inter Milan)
PSG enter the Champions League final in red-hot form, having won four of their last five matches and building strong momentum with three consecutive victories. Their commanding run in Ligue 1 and impressive performance against Arsenal in the semi-finals underline their credentials as strong favourites for the title.
Inter Milan have also been outstanding, unbeaten in their last five games and pulling off a dramatic aggregate win over Barcelona in the semi-finals. However, the pressure of facing a side as consistent and clinical as PSG could weigh heavily. With their attacking depth and recent form, expect a PSG win.
