The final showdown of the Europa League phase is here, and what a fixture. Ajax host Galatasaray, and a win would cement their place in the knockout playoffs, while a win for the Turkish giants will guarantee them a place in the playoffs. It is worth noting that Ajax have scored in 15 consecutive matches (all competitions) when playing at home, while Galatasaray have also found the back of the net in 15 consecutive matches (all competitions) when playing away. That leaves us with one conclusion: both teams should find the back of the net here in what should be an entertaining fixture. Good luck.

Two teams whose fate in the Europa League remains unknown as they sit in tricky positions ahead of this fixture. Simply put, both teams must win to guarantee them a place in the last 16, and this fixture will be of immense magnitude for both teams. Right from kick-off, both teams will be looking for one goal - to win the match, as any other result will lead to elimination. None of the teams will sit back, and this will lead to many chances created. The banker tip here is both teams to find the back of the net, which should land with ease. Good luck.

It all comes down to the wire as City host Brugge in a 'must-win' fixture if their Champions League ambitions are to stay alive. Man City have seen over 2.5 in all 6 consecutive fixtures in all competitions heading into this fixture. While they have been in red-hot form lately, don't expect the visiting side to just sit back and do nothing. The head-to-head matches involving these two witnessed a combined 11 goals in just two fixtures, and this should be the same heading into tonight's important fixture for both teams. Good luck.

A chili hot fixture is on the cards as the Farmers host the Scousers in a fixture that promises to be a blockbuster, at least in my books. Let's cover the stats here, shall we? Liverpool arrive in red hot form, sitting confidently at the top of the UCL league table, having won all 7 matches. This makes Arne Slot the only second manager in the history of UCL to win his first 7 matches in this competition as a new manager. They will be hosted by PSV, a side boasting a 10-game unbeaten streak at the Philips Stadion in European competition, while only losing one game in their 53 games at the same stadium. Quite impressive, right? While Liverpool will be looking to create history by winning all 8, PSV will know that losing here will put their qualification hopes in limbo and may want to secure a win here. Given the context of this fixture, I expect goals at both ends. Good luck.

The fixture of the day sees City host Chelsea at Etihad. Things may have seemed to be back on track for City following their 6-0 demolition against Ipswich, but they threw away a 2-goal lead during their midweek fixture against PSG. It's not the first time that City have gone ahead to "give away" a lead in recent times. Remember the Brentford late comeback when City were 2 goals up? Yeah. They host a rested Chelsea side who had no engagements during the week and are clearly the better-rested team of the two. City have found form at Etihad, but keeping clean sheets is a problem. There will be goals in this fixture, and this is why our pick for today is the over market, which should hit easily. Good luck.

Easy win for Newcastle here, lads. Nothing is going well for Southampton in the Premier League with only one win to their name, which came against Everton back in November. They are almost sure of heading back to the Championship unless a "miracle" happens. They host a Newcastle side who will be seeking revenge following their 1-4 thrashing by Bournemouth last time out. A wounded Newcastle visiting will not be any easier for Southampton. Expect a comfortable win for the away side. Good luck.

A nightmare in the name of Arsenal will be hosted by Wolves, and this match-up hasn't been easy for the home side in recent times, with Wolves losing in 7 consecutive H2H games against Arsenal dating back to 10th Feb 2022. Arsenal do not have the 'luxury' of letting points slip past them if they are to catch up with league leaders Liverpool, who lead by 6 points with a game in hand. Arsenal must simply win here, given the historical advantage they hold heading into this fixture and the hot-cold form of the hosts. I expect Arsenal to take all 3 points here. Good luck.

Zvezda must simply win their remaining two games and hope the results go in favor of them elsewhere in order to have a chance to get into the next round. Goals haven't been a problem for them at home, and with both teams needing victories, this should be a good game where goals at both ends should be expected. PSV are yet to keep a clean sheet when traveling in the UCL. Therefore, BTTS should be the banker bet here. Good luck.

Monday night fixture is here with us as Chelsea host Wolves. Both teams will be eager to get to winning ways after Chelsea drew last time out with Bournemouth while Wolves were thrashed by Newcastle. It is worth noting that the last 3 head-to-head fixtures all saw the goals going over. With the importance of this match for both teams, goals should be on the cards in this fixture right from kick-off. The banker bet here is over 2.5. Good luck.

Going for 2nd placed Inter win as they face a side they have comfortably beaten in the last 4 head-to-head fixtures. Empoli's form when playing away is not good, and I expect Inter to win here and close the gap on league leaders Napoli, who have played 2 more games. This should be a perfect opportunity for Inter to get all 3 maximum points. Good luck.

Man City were on the verge of a 0-2 win against Brentford when a disaster class by the Man City defenders allowed 2 late goals from Brentford to force the match into a 2-2 draw. They now face an Ipswich side and goals should rain in this fixture. Historically, this fixture has not lacked goals and I expect the same trend to continue here. Good luck.

Next on the tip is Utd vs Brighton, and I will be taking the goals at both ends option. United did look very shaky in their mid-week fixture against bottom club Southampton before 'a-madness' in the final ten minutes by star boy Amad saved what would have been an embarrassment at Old Trafford. Brighton have scored in 10 straight away consecutive matches and should find the back of the net against a shaky United defense. Both teams should score with ease. Good luck.

No one could've predicted that Forest would be sitting third in the EPL currently, as they were massive relegation contenders prior to the start of this season. Hard work and consistency do pay off indeed. They face a Southampton side languishing at the bottom of the league, having only amassed 6 points having played 21 matches. Southampton were left licking their wounds after Amad Diallo stole the show in a late midweek thriller at Old Trafford, and meeting Forest, who are glowing in confidence, will not be any easier. I expect the home team to win with ease. Good luck.

Villa have found the net in the last 4 games at Emirates, and I see this trend going on. Arsenal are struggling for goals amidst an injury-stricken strike force, and I see Villa having a point to prove against a not-so-confident Arsenal team. Goals at both ends is the banker tip here. Good luck.

Fulham will be willing to get back into winning ways after their blockbuster midweek fixture that had 5 goals, which saw them lose to West Ham. They travel to face relegation contenders Leicester, who are very low in confidence after a string of poor results, and I see Fulham going with the 3 points comfortably. Good luck.

A meeting between what I would say are two in-form teams, and goals at both ends should be the banker tip here. GL

Only a point separates these two teams having played 17 games in the French Ligue 1. There isn't much to separate these two teams, and therefore I will be going for the GG market. Each of the pair's last three meetings has ended with both teams finding the back of the net, and with Champions League ambitions for both teams, this would be the best tip for this match. Good luck.

Expect a highly offensive game. Arsenal is aiming to close the gap on leaders Liverpool, and with Spurs also looking not to slump further down, none of the teams will sit back. This will lead to many offensive chances, which will result in corners. Also, the last 3 head-to-head games all featured over 11 corners. Good luck.
