It's difficult to separate these two in what should be a competitive and disciplined encounter. Bragantino have been strong at home and continue to look organized defensively, while Internacional have shown enough quality on their travels to stay competitive against most sides in the division. Neither team tends to lose control of matches easily, and this feels more like a tactical battle than an end-to-end contest. I expect chances to be limited for both sides while still having their moments. I'd say a low-scoring draw is on the cards here.

Many would put Flamengo as a banker here, but I have reservations. They've been strong at home and should create opportunities. Yet Coritiba continue to carry enough attacking threat to make life uncomfortable. The visitors have shown they can find the net on their travels, while Flamengo's matches have not always been as straightforward as the league table implies. With both sides averaging over a goal per game at home and away respectively, this looks like a fixture where the hosts can win while still conceding. BTTS appeals and offers far better value than taking short odds on the home side to win.

Derry City and Shelbourne both arrive carrying profiles that point strongly toward goals at both ends. The hosts may be struggling for consistency, but they continue to score regularly on home soil, averaging 1.8 goals across their last five at the Brandywell. Defensively, Derry have looked vulnerable, conceding the same average during that spell and keeping very few games under control. Shelbourne travel north in far stronger overall form, taking 13 points from their last five away matches while averaging 1.6 goals scored per game on the road. However, the visitors have also been showing signs of finishing below expected levels recently, suggesting there may still be more attacking output to come. All signals point toward BTTS as the standout angle.

HamKam arrive in strong attacking form after averaging 2 goals across their last 5 home matches. Recent games involving Lillestrøm have also produced chances at both ends. The hosts carry the strongest recent form ranking in this set of fixtures, and their aggressive approach at home has regularly created open contests. Although the visitors have defended reasonably well overall, they still possess enough quality going forward to contribute. With both sides showing positive attacking indicators and the chaos ratio sitting high, this looks a strong candidate for another lively Norwegian Eliteserien game featuring at least 3 goals.

This has the feeling of a closely fought contest where neither side does quite enough to pull away. Both teams are averaging identical scoring and defensive numbers across recent matches, while current form indicators suggest confidence is lacking on both sides. Valerenga's long wait for a victory highlights their struggles, but Start have hardly looked convincing themselves. Recent performances point toward a game likely to remain competitive throughout rather than becoming open or one-sided. With little separating the sides statistically and both carrying inconsistent form into the fixture, the draw looks appealing.

Man City look well positioned to close the season with a home victory in what could also become an emotional occasion surrounding Pep's expected farewell. The hosts arrive in elite form, taking 13 points from their last five home matches, averaging over two goals per game and just 0.8 conceded at the Etihad. Villa may arrive on a high following their European triumph midweek, but that can often work both ways on a final Premier League weekend. Emotionally and physically, there is a chance the visitors struggle to match the intensity of a City side still capable of producing ruthless home performances when momentum builds. The visitors have also failed to score in two of their last five away matches, while City continue to carry one of the strongest overall home profiles in the league. With the Etihad crowd likely fully engaged for the occasion, the hosts look strong favourites to finish the campaign with another win. It's also worth noting Villa have not won an away league game since January, against Newcastle, while City have not lost at home in the league since August against Spurs.

Two sides limping toward the finish line defensively could produce one of the most entertaining games of the final La Liga weekend. The hosts have conceded 2.6 goals per game across their last five at home, while the visitors arrive with an away defensive average of 2.4 conceded. That is a dangerous mix on a final day where structure often disappears quickly once the first goal lands. The underlying numbers also support goals. Combined xG figures are high, and both teams continue to create chances regularly. I'm going to say finishing has actually underperformed the opportunities being created. This feels like the type of fixture where a tense opening 15 minutes suddenly turns into chaos. It has that "nobody can defend and nobody cares anymore" feel.

Arsenal look well placed to deliver both a victory and goals when they host Burnley. The Gunners continue to post strong attacking numbers at the Emirates and face a Burnley side that has struggled badly away from home defensively, conceding an average of 2.6 goals across their last five away fixtures. While Arsenal have looked slightly less ruthless in recent weeks, the underlying data still suggests they should create a high volume of chances here. Burnley's defensive setup has struggled against stronger attacking sides, and this could be another difficult afternoon if Arsenal establish early control. These visitors may still offer occasional attacking moments of their own, but the main expectation is Arsenal generating enough pressure to push the total beyond the line themselves. Scorelines such as 3-0 or 3-1 look realistic given the current profiles of both teams.
