1. Salzburg v Admira
Preview:
Salzburg are at the top of the table with 46 pints, five more than the second palced Rapid Vienna and have secured their place in the Championship - playoff.
Admira are last with 13 points and are in a four match winless run, one draw and three defeats.
Head to head, Salzburg have won their last five matches at home, scoring two or more goals and also their last four matches finished with over 2.5 goals.
Salzburg are clear favorites for the three points in this match and anything else than a home win would be unexpected. I'll bet on the home win and also over 2.5 goals seems reasonable.
Bet: Home win
Odd: 1.07-1.08
2. Everton v Burnley
Preview:
This match is very importnat for Everton, as they are fighting for a place that leads in one of the European competitions, especially the Champions League. Last week they lost very important match from their rivals for one of these places, Chelsea. Beside that defeat, they are still in the game for one of the Champions League places, as they have 46 points, four less than the fourth placed Chelsea, but with a match less. Delph, Doucoure and Rodriguez are injured, while Mina, Coleman and Sigurdsoon are doubtful.
Burnley are 15th with 30 points and are only four points above the relegation zone. They are winless in their last five matches, drawing four and loosing one.
Head to head, Everton have won four from their last five home matches in the League and lost one.
I expect high motivation from the home side as the season is coming close to the end and not dropping points at home, at least not against the lower placed teams. Still, i am betting with caution, cause the odd for a double chance for the home team is good.
Bet: Double chance (home win or draw)
Odd: 1.20-1.25
3. Benfica v Boavista
Preview:
If someone have told me before the start of the season that Benfica and Porto would fight for the second and even the third place, so they can play in the Champions League next season, i would have told him that he is an amateur. But even if at the half of the season was clear that Sporting is the main favorite for the title and after their draw away against their rivals Porto they simply confirmed that, i think that no one expected that Braga will be second this time of the year. Benfica have won their last two matches in the League and they must continue winning till the end of the season if they want to secure the second place that will secure them direct entrance in the Champions League group stage. Almeida and Nunes are injured for tonight.
Boavista are 15th and are only two points above the relegation zone, but have prooven earlier against Porto away (2:2), that they can play against the elite in the League.
Head to head, Benfica have won four from their last five home matches and draw once. Also, their last four matches in lisbon finished with over 2.5 goals.
I expect Benfica to win this match and continue their fight for the second place.
Bet: Home win
Odd: 1.28-1.32
4. Leicester v Sheffield Utd
Preview:
This could be a very good season for Leicester if they continue playing like they are so far. They are third with 53 points, one less than the second placed Manchester United and five more than the fifth placed West Ham, but have one match more than them. Vardy is not at his best when it comes to scoring lately, but Ineanacho is here to fill that void, and if Vardy gets his goalscoring form back, together with Ineanacho, they can make sure that they dont repeat the mistakes from the finish of the last season and finish in the top four. Leicester will miss some of their first team players and stars for this match, as Barnes, Maddison, Morgan and Under are injured, while Praet is doubtful.
Sheffield Utd are already relegated, maybe not officially, but it's hard to imagine that they can win every match till the end, and the other candidates for relegation to loose a lot of matches. They'll play till the end of the season for prestige and disturb some teams in their bid for success this season.
Head to head, Leicester won their home match last season with 2:0.
Beside that Leicester will miss some of their first team players and stars, i expect them to win this match against the already relegated Sheffield Utd.
Bet: Home win
Odd: 1.48-1.57
5. PSG v Nantes
Preview:
PSG are maybe through the quarter finals in the Champions League, but they are second in the League, two points less than the leaders Lille, who are playing against Monaco away. With a win, PSG will be three points clear above Lyon, who only draw yesterday with Reims, and will maybe get the top spot if Lille drops points against Monaco. PSG will be without Bernat and Kean, while Neymar is doubtful.
Nantes season is not as they wanted and expected and a loss from PSG will make their situation worse. They are second from behind, three points below the safe zone and are winless three matches in a row, two draws and one defeat.
Head to head, PSG won their last five home matches.
After PSG advanced in the Champions League quarter finals, beside their poor display in the rematch against Barcelona at home, i expect a high motivation from the PSG players and staff and a win for the Parisians.
Bet: Home win
Odd: 1.17-1.23
6. Barcelona v Huesca
Preview:
Barcelona maybe were dropped from the Champions League, but their performance in Paris against PSG was very promising for the team and the new President Laporta. Now when they are out from the Champions League, they can totally concentrate on La Liga, as they closed the gap with Atletico on six points. Araujo, Coutinho, Fati, Pique and Roberto are injured and will miss the match.
Huesca are last, but not without a chance for survival. They are only four pints below the safe zone and with a series of good results they can hope on securing a place in La Liga next year.
I expect Barcelona to continue playing good in La Liga and perform on the same level as they performed in Paris. A win against the bottom Huesca will put pressure on Atletico and Real Madrid, that they are not giving up and will fight for the title till the end. I expect a home win and over 2.5 goals also.
Bet: Home win
Odd: 1.16-1.21
