Both teams left the European Cups: Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League, and Celta failed in the Europa League playoffs. Now you can fully focus on the inner primacy.

Barcelona

Barcelona took advantage of the mistakes of the closest competitor and broke away from Madrid Real by 9 points. By the standards of La Liga, this is a decent gap and there is practically no championship intrigue, if you look at it realistically. But this does not mean that now the blue-garnet can completely relax, after all, they have not yet guaranteed the title.

Of course, it is impossible not to mention the Champions League, the Catalans received a red card twice in the confrontation with Atletico and eventually left the competition. At the end of the season, El Clasico awaits us, and until then it is better for the hosts not to lose points so as not to create additional problems for themselves.

Celta

Celta had a unique opportunity to make it to the semi-final stage of the Europa League. And after all, the team from Vigo dealt with a very strong opponent in the person of Lyon, but then unexpectedly easily lost to Freiburg in both matches: 3:0 away and 1:3 at home, without a chance at all.

This is the third defeat of the club in a row, in La Liga they also made a miss, losing 0:3 to Oviedo. Let's see if this is a temporary downturn, because Celta still ranks 6th, and is only 2 points behind the Europa League zone, the guests are definitely not devoid of motivation, they just need to pull themselves together at the end.

Match prediction

The face-to-face meetings of these teams are eloquent: 3:2, 1:2, 2:2, 4:3, 2:4, during this period Barcelona has never lost, but the team from Vigo constantly snapped and caused a lot of problems. Today I propose to consider the bet on both scorers, because Celta needs to be rehabilitated for recent failures, the club generally risks falling out of the top 6, despite a decent season.

The Catalans have only La Liga left, there is no need to save their strength, so I expect an active game from the hosts. As already mentioned, there is another meeting with Real Madrid ahead, it is better not to give hope to the principled opponent and not to lose points. We are waiting for another spectacular duel performed by these teams and the continuation of the effective trend.

The return match of the Portuguese Cup semi-final between Porto and Sporting. Let me remind you, the first game ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of Sporting. How will this match turn out?

Porto

Porto is forced to make up for the difference. But I have to do it on Dragau. That's already good. Will Porto run from the first minutes ahead? The question is good, but I am inclined to believe that the team will gradually increase the pressure on Sporting's goal. The reason is banal - fear for your gates. If Porto recklessly opens up from the very beginning of the match, it will give Sporting the opportunity to score in the countergame. And it will be incredibly difficult to play 2 balls.

So the task of not missing for Porto is no less important than score. And Porto is ready to solve it. On average, in the championship and cup, the team concedes only 0.39 goals per game at home. In 12 matches out of 18, she played to zero. And we just know that Porto this season is a team that plays great at its gate.

Sporting

Everything is transparent at Sporting. They don't need to play anything back. Their starting zeros on the scoreboard are completely satisfied. Maximum concentration in defense and finding your chances in the countergame. And the first is that this task is a priority. Priority and most importantly, it is executable.

Sporting is also good in defense this season. On average, he misses less than a goal per game. The team played to zero in the first match - it proved that it can. We can remember the recent games of Sporting with Arsenal in the Champions League. From the current leader of the English Premier League, the Portuguese conceded only 1 goal in 2 matches. So they are able to play back reliably with Porto.

Match prediction

This season it will be the third game between Sporting and Porto. In the first match of the championship, the teams played on TO 2.5 - Porto won Sporting on the road with a score of 1:2. But there were no goals there until the 60th minute. In the second match of the championship there was a productive draw - 1:1. But Sporting won back in it only in the 100th minute, and there were no goals again until the 75th minute. The cup has already been said - one goal for two. The teams play among themselves ineffectively and I believe that they will continue to do so. I don't see a trigger for goals in this match.

For both teams, reaching the final of the Italian Cup is an important event. The first meeting ended in a draw, and in the return match as a favorite, the team from Bergamo.

Atalanta

Atalanta played a draw with Roma on the road 1:1 in the last round. The result is not critical, but the Romans are their direct competitors in the fight for the top 6 of Serie A. Now we'll have to count on their slaughter in the remaining fights. The Bergamasks themselves are located on the 7th line and are 4 points behind the European Cup zone.

In the home championship, the hosts had weak periods, they didn't have the most stable season in general. Although in the Champions League they were able to make it to the 1/8 playoffs, where they had already naturally lost to Bayern without any chance. They continue their way in the Cup of the country.

Lazio

Lazio is in an even more vulnerable position, the club did not participate in the European Cups, while still rather failed the current season, so fully without feeling its game. It is worth paying tribute to the Romans for the last match with Napoli, they beat the favorite 0:2 away, but even the lag behind today's opponent is 7 points.

The only chance to save the season is to make it to the final of the Italian Cup. The first match between these teams ended in a 2:2 draw, the guests were close to victory, Atalanta equalized the score only in the 89th minute.

Match prediction

Even the spectacular victory of Lazio on the road over Napoli is not convincing, because I appreciate the longer distance, according to it Atalanta is seen right now as a much more balanced team, capable of fighting for the trophy. In the case of Lazio, the club can show the maximum in a separate round, and then lose points with the middleman or the outsider, we have already seen this.

Bergamaski showed themselves well in the Champions League, and in the playoffs they just got to the most powerful Bavaria, which is almost the main favorite of the competition. The hosts have a great chance to make it to the finals and take the trophy, I bet on their victory.

In the last round, Zenit was able to break out to the first place in the RPL, now the St. Petersburgers face an equally important task: to keep the advantage. A trip to Lokomotiv will be the first test of strength.

Locomotiv

The locomotiv ranks 3rd in the table, with a certain coincidence of circumstances, railwaymen could even compete for the title, there is a lack of stability at a distance. It is enough to remember the mishags at the beginning of the second round with Rubin, Moscow Spartak, a home draw with Makhachkala Dynamo.

In the extreme round, they were able to squeeze Orenburg away, Batrakov's goal helped in the 70th minute. I note that Lokomotiv scored 51 goals in 25 rounds, along with Krasnodar this is the best attack in the RPL. The railwaymen have also never lost on their field in 12 rounds. Let's see if we can extend such a spectacular series.

Zenit

Zenit took advantage of Krasnodar's long-awaited mistake and broke out to the first place, the St. Petersburgers themselves coped with Makhachkala Dynamo 0:1 in the last round on the road, allowing a minimum of danger at their goal. It is impossible not to note the dependence on the field factor, as Semak's charges scored 35 points at home and only 20 away.

The club flew out of the cup, so now all the emphasis is on the championship. Despite the serious selection of performers, Zenit in 7 of the last 10 games was limited to a maximum of one goal scored, this is the whole segment from the beginning of the second round. Reliable defense helps out, now guests often slow down to maintain a positive result.

Match prediction

If you look at it realistically, Zenit objectively has the most powerful team in the RPL, but even in duels with outsiders or middlemen, we don't see St. Petersburgers passing someone with a skating rink. There is definitely a calculation for the distance so as not to force events and distribute forces, but the current form still raises questions, especially in the line of attack. We need bright victories for confidence, everything is going too hard, given the selection of players.

Lokomotiv has never lost on its field this season. I quite admit a draw here, but the railwaymen are underestimated, there will definitely not be an easy walk for the guests, they are in the wrong conditions. And the owners generally have a unique opportunity to get closer to a direct competitor.

Real Madrid will host Santiago Bernabeu Alaves as part of the 33rd round of the Spanish championship. I bet that both teams will score in this game.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid has no real intrigue at the end of the championship. The country's cup was played without their participation. In the Champions League, Bavaria beat them. And in the Spanish championship, the lag from Barcelona is already 9 points. It's almost impossible to play this. At the same time, Real, who is in third place, is ahead of Villarreal, also by 9 points. The creamy ones will hardly move from the 2nd line.

What's left? Just play match after match, have fun, and the collections keep the game tone before the World Cup. Of course, I'm sure that Real should score its goal. Mbappe and Vini are extremely rarely left without scored. The only question is defense. And here I focus on numbers. Misses Real Madrid at least once in 8 matches in a row. In the Spanish championship, they did not miss the last time in early February. I think it's not the right situation to play for zero now.

Alaves

Alaves is weaker. No one disputes that. The team is fighting to preserve the residence permit. He is on the 17th line and ahead of Elche by only 1 point. But I want to note that 5 rounds ago there was a coaching rock in the team. Instead of Eduard Kude came the Spaniard Kike Sanchez Flores. And under him Alaves plays especially effectively.

In 5 matches played, the team scored 12 goals. At least a goal is scored in each of the games. In 4 out of 5 matches - at least two goals each. We have gained a cool move and there is no reason to wait for the deterioration of the results. At the same time, Alaves always misses. In each of the mentioned 5 matches at least once, and the last time the team played for zero in La Liga on December 6.

Match prediction

I think the chances of scoring in this match from both sides are great. Real's goal seems to go to Santiago Bernabeu by default. And Alaves in the extreme segment proves his capabilities in the attack. And Real rarely plays for zero.

The first cup match between these teams never pleased the audience with goals, in the return match Inter is set as the favorite, but Como has repeatedly surprised in the current season, so Fabregas' charges cannot be discounted.

Inter

Inter flew out of the Champions League, but this season the club has a good opportunity to take two trophies in the domestic arena. In the Italian Cup we reached the semi-final stage, in the first match they drew with Como on the road 0:0, looked frankly weak, playing only at 0.07 xG, this is generally an anti-record for the nerazurri.

In fact, Inter just moved the match to itself, spending a minimum of effort. In the last round, Kivu's charges defeated Cagliari's houses 3:0, finally consolidated the leadership in Serie A and now there is no need to resort to rotation of the composition in the cup. Inter is distinguished by at least 3 goals in the last 3 matches.

Como

But Como has a decline in results, and this can now smear the club's impressive season. In the last round, they sensationally lost to Sassuolo 2:1, earlier there was another face-to-face meeting with Inter. Fabregas' charges then led 2-0, but the leader of Serie A made a comeback and scored another 3 points.

In the table, Como is on the 5th line, but competitors are pressing. In a short period of time, you can return to the Champions League zone or even fall out of the top 6 if you can't stabilize the results. The ending will largely determine the current season of Como.

Match prediction

I proceed from the current form of both teams: Inter under less pressure, the future championship of the nerazurri is only a matter of time, and at the same time they can hook the cup. But Como had a downturn in the end and it is very important to keep his mood and concentration. Inter made a clear bet on the return match, in the first game the team did not even try to come up with anything in the attack.

I take the victory of the favorite, after all, the difference in class should affect. There is also such a moment that for Como this is a unique opportunity to take the trophy, while in Serie A they can still fail. Of course, the underdog is not devoid of motivation, but it will be extremely difficult to cope with the current Inter.

Chelsea has already made 4 defeats in a row in the Premier League, during this period the blues could not score a single goal. Home Brighton is unlikely to be an easy walk for Londoners.

Brighton

In the middle of the APL table, tough competition is now unfolding, at least 5 clubs claim the 6th place, including Brighton, which is only 1 point behind Chelsea. The seagulls broke a series of 3 victories in a row, in the last round they shared points with Tottenham playing 2:2 away, and earlier defeated Liverpool, Sunderland and Burnley.

I would also note the fact that Brighton has lost three times on his field this season, each time with a minimal difference, very unyielding guys, go without significant failures in defense. In the past seasons we were used to seeing the club more adventurous, now there is more pragmatism in the actions of the hosts.

Chelsea

Chelsea lost again in the last round, the aristocrats lost to Stamford Bridge Manchester United with a score of 0:1. Of course, statistics show that the result is not the fairest for the hosts, created opportunities at 1.57 xG, struck 21 shots on the opponent's goal, but the completion stage suffers.

For Chelsea, this is the fourth defeat in a row in the Premier League, at this rate you can gradually forget about the Champions League zone, now you can fall out of the top 6 and remain basically without European Cups. Given the transfer costs and the ambitions of the blues, this is a real failure. Moreover, the team does not score in the last 4 rounds, it is necessary to add urgently in the attack.

Match prediction

Let's look realistic: Chelsea is really in crisis and far from optimal form, but the club has definitely played at least one goal in the last 4 rounds. The series without goals is very delayed, I'm counting on its interruption, there are prerequisites. In addition, there is nowhere to retreat, very soon the Londoners will fall out of the top 6 and will be left without European Cups.

Brighton beat the opponent in the extreme 3 personal meetings. Also not the most stable guys, judging by the current season, but for them there comes a decisive segment, when every mistake can become fatal. The best option in this situation: Brighton will not lose and both will score.

Crystal Palace continues its journey in the Conference League, the eagles have already reached the semi-final stage. Obviously, at the end of the season, priority will be given to the European Cup, but their today's rival West Ham is fighting for survival.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace ranks 13th in the Premier League, and in the last 5 rounds the Eagles made only one defeat. That is, the club even began to add in the end, even if it was already devoid of strict tournament motivation. The hosts are not in danger of departure, they are 10 points ahead of today's opponent, and this can be considered a comfortable advantage.

It is more important to mention the path of Crystal Palace in the League of Conferences. It all started not in the best way, at the group stage they acted too carefully, could not fully reveal the full attacking potential, even in the playoffs they passed with a squeak. In the previous round, they defeated Fiorentina 2:4 in the sum of two meetings, now they are one step away from the final.

West Ham

West Ham solves its tasks for the season, the hammer fighters are on the 17th line, still one step away from the relegat zone. In the last round, the outsider Wolverhampton was defeated with a score of 4:0, but continue to depend on the results of competitors. It is likely that Tottenham will add in the last fights, the whole fight is ahead.

Previously, the club could have made it to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but lost to Leeds on penalties, now finally all efforts are aimed at preserving the residence in the elite. There are definitely prerequisites for this, at home, for example, they took away points from Manchester City, playing 1:1, you can't discount the hammer breakers.

Match prediction

I look at the upcoming fight from the point of view of the motivation of both clubs. Crystal Palace is in the middle of the table and no longer claims anything, if you look at it realistically. The eagles are not in danger of flying, they will definitely not get to the European Cup zone, although they are always able to impose a fight at home, the stands drive their guys forward.

West Ham is on the verge of relegation, at the end of the season the situation can still turn sharply, you need to use all chances to score points. A trip to the Palace is a great opportunity, especially since the hosts are mentally focused on the semi-finals of the Conference League, it is better to protect the players and direct all their efforts there.

Dunkerque took 4th place in League 2 last season, now the club is far from that form. Stade Lavallois, in turn, fights for survival, being located in the play-off zone.

Dunkerque

Dunkerque won only one victory in the last 10 rounds in the French League 2, the club defeated Amiens 1:4 on the road. Of course, with such unstable results it is difficult to count on the fight for the playoff zone. Although last season the hosts took the 4th place, and then flew out of Metz.

Even native walls do not help: draws with Gangam, Bastia, Rodez, Reims and defeat from Annecy. In all these meetings, Dunkirk failed to score more than one goal. Now there is a huge probability that they will finish the current season in the role of middlemen.

Stade Lavallois

Stade Lavallois is in the playoff zone, there is also a downturn compared to last season, then the guests were only 5 points away from the playoffs. Now they are at risk of flying to the 3rd strongest division of the country. Some progress in the results is still visible, but there are not enough victories, there are too many draws.

In the last 10 rounds, Stade Lavallois played a draw 6 times, winning only one victory over Grenoble at home 3:2 during this period. In the last two outings, they could not print the opponent's goal: 2:0 defeat from Montpellier and 0:0 with Red Star.

Match prediction

I propose to consider the bet that the guests will not lose in this tour. Dunkerque has a series of 4 home draws in a row in League 2. You can see that the club has potential, but problems with motivation, because they are too far behind the playoffs. Taking into account the competition, they will hardly be able to compete for anything.

Stade Lavallois tries, the club keeps the mood and is able to surprise in the end. The team also often plays a draw, so I won't be surprised by this result. With the current quotes, it is more logical to consider a bet on an underdog.
