Two sides in great form meet at the Olympic Stadium. Barcelona have been solid all season long, while Betis have seriously improved lately – the arrival of Antonio has given them real flair and direction.

Barça, with Dortmund coming to town in four days, will want to manage this game efficiently and rest some big names. In their current form, Betis are more than capable of causing them some trouble on their home ground.

My take: 1X + Both teams to score – Yes – (1.91 via Stake)
Risky bet: Barcelona to win by 1 or draw – (2.40 via Stake)

Lyon vs Lille – and it’s more than just another Ligue 1 fixture. This is a direct battle for the top six. For Les Gones, it’s a shot to leapfrog the visitors. For Lille, a chance to pull clear.

Lyon under Fonseca are chaotic but fun – in their last 10 league games, they’ve scored 29 goals but also conceded plenty. That’s 52 scored and 37 conceded overall.
Compare that to Lille – only 11 scored and 12 conceded across the same stretch. In fact, only PSG have conceded fewer goals than Les Dogues all season.

So, can Lyon break down one of Ligue 1’s best defences? I think they can – but don’t expect a goal fest.

My take: Lyon to win + Under 4.5 goals – (2.60 via Stake)

Freiburg are going through a rough patch – four Bundesliga games without a win. Still, they’re just one victory away from jumping into the Champions League race. But here’s the issue: they haven’t beaten Dortmund in 14 consecutive head-to-head meetings.

This could be the moment for Christian Streich’s men to finally snap that streak.
Dortmund, meanwhile, bounced back last round with a solid 3–1 win over Mainz. They’re still in the top-four mix, but their inconsistency and shaky backline leave more questions than answers.

Both teams are better going forward than they are at the back, and with six straight BTTS games behind them, we could be in for another high-scoring clash.

My take: Over 2.5 goals – (1.80 via Stake)

Following their defeat in the Merseyside derby, Everton return home to face Arsenal, who have one eye (if not both) on their huge Champions League clash vs Real Madrid just three days later.

Under Moyes, the Toffees are well-drilled and competitive. Sure, player-for-player Arsenal have more class, but the question is: how badly do they really need all three points here? I’m not sure it’s their priority.

My take: Everton double chance (1X) – (2.20 via Stake)

It’s a solid mid-table clash, though Brighton still have a slim chance of sneaking into European contention. Palace won the reverse fixture with confidence, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they repeat that result here. That said, Brighton needs the points way more.

My take: Crystal Palace (0) handicap – (1.75 via Stake)
Risky bet: Brighton to win corners – (2.11 via Stake)

PSG were dragged through a tough Coupe de France match midweek, and four days after this one they’ll face Aston Villa in Europe. Rotation is not a possibility – it’s a guarantee.

Angers are fighting to stay up, even if it doesn’t look like it based on their form – goalless in four consecutive games. Still, I’m backing goals on both ends here. PSG’s “B-team” might be enough to win, but Angers can sneak one in.

My take: Both teams to score – Yes – (1.86 via Stake)

Werder are wobbling. Just 3 wins from their last 10 Bundesliga matches, including a 3–0 win over Holstein Kiel last time out. But at home, it’s grim – one win and four defeats in the last five.

Eintracht are moving in the opposite direction: four wins in five, including a 1–0 victory over Stuttgart. They’re in good shape overall, though their away form is patchy (3W, 2D, 5L from 10 road trips).

Werder are trying to claw their way into European contention – six points off the pace – but it’s Frankfurt who look more complete right now. Even away from home, they’ve got the edge.

My take: Eintracht Frankfurt to win – (2.53 via Stake)

It’s going to be boiling in the Eternal City on Sunday night. Roma haven’t lost in Serie A since December 22. Juventus, meanwhile, are only just getting used to life under Igor Tudor – this’ll be his second match in charge of a new team.

Neither team is distracted by Europe, meaning this one’s all-in. Juve sit just one win above Roma in the table – and with the top six race razor-thin, every point matters.
Expect tension, fouls, and cards – and a match we’ll still be talking about next week.

My take: Roma (0) handicap – (1.75 via Stake)

Juve have been the very definition of inconsistent lately: 2 wins, 2 losses, and a draw in their last five. Tudor’s arrival brings hope, but this will be his first away game in charge – and it’s at the Olimpico.

Roma, meanwhile, are on fire domestically – unbeaten in 14 and riding a seven-game win streak. But let’s be real – beating Milan isn’t the same as grinding past Lecce, Cagliari, or Empoli.

Their head-to-head history is telling: five straight matches without a goal fest — scorelines like 1–1, 0–0, 1–0 dominate the narrative.

I don’t see a goal explosion here either. Roma should avoid defeat, but expect a cagey affair.

My take: Roma double chance (1X) + Under 3.5 goals – (1.73 via Stake)

One for the La Liga purists. A direct shootout between two UCL challengers for the next season. Athletic currently lead the race by six points, but they’re off to Scotland next week for a tough European away match.

Villarreal, meanwhile, are out of European games and fully focused on the league. They also have a game in reserve – though they still need to win it.

Despite all that, I see Athletic as slight favourites and don’t expect them to lose. But the Submarine will push hard, especially on set pieces and corners.

My take: Athletic to win by 1 or draw – (2.05 via Stake)
Risky bet: Villarreal over 5 corners – (1.94 via Stake)

One of the most anticipated fixtures in the 2024/25 Premier League calendar: the Manchester Derby. This will be their fourth league meeting in recent time, and based on latest history, expect a tight, hard-fought clash.

United, under Amorim, have been surprisingly steady at home, losing just once in their last five league games at Old Trafford. They’ve shown glimpses of improvement, especially in the Europa League. But let’s not ignore the streak – they haven’t beaten City in the league since January 2023.

City aren’t flying either. Post-Champions League exit, Haaland’s form has dropped, and defensively they’ve looked vulnerable – conceding in 7 of their last 10 away games. Still, I expect both teams to approach this one with caution.

My take: Under 3 goals – (1.84 via Stake)
