Zhou Yuelong recently made it through to the quarter-finals of the Welsh Open, where he lost to John Higgins. He is ranked eighty-six places higher than today's opponent. With four wins in his last five matches, I'm taking Zhou Yuelong to win.

Thepchaiya Un-Nooh is ranked twenty places higher than his opponent, Michael Holt. Un-Nooh has won the last five meetings between these two players, the latest being back in 2021. He had a convincing four-frame win in his last match, so take Un-Nooh to progress to the next round.

Having lost the first leg by a couple of goals, Portuguese side Braga will have to come out in search of goals as they seek to overturn the defeat they suffered in Hungary at the hands of Ferencvárosi. The Hungarian side have won their last six games, three of which were away from home. Braga are strong at home and might once again dominate possession of the football, but if Ferencvárosi can again restrict Braga to very few goal-scoring opportunities, they have every chance to hit them on the break and win the game.

Newcastle played well in the first leg, restricting Barcelona to very few opportunities. It was almost the last kick of the game from the penalty spot that saw Barcelona grab an equaliser. Having won away at Chelsea in their last game, taking Newcastle to outwit Barcelona and get the win.

Both these teams are making a late push to get into the play-offs. A win for Southampton would move them into sixth, while a win for Norwich would keep their momentum going and keep them within six points of a top-six position. Norwich have won five of their last six away Championship games. In three of their last four away league games they kept a clean sheet. If they once again put in a good defensive display, then they have every chance of winning this game.

Galatasaray have won their last five games. They have beaten Liverpool the last couple of times they have played Liverpool. Each of those games was at home. With Liverpool unable to beat Tottenham at home at the weekend, take Galatasaray to break the hearts of the Liverpool faithful and knock them out of the competition.

MK Dons have taken thirteen points from their last five home games and sit second in the table. Colchester are down in thirteenth, and in their last five away games they have recorded three defeats, one draw, and one win.
