Lazio vs Parma
Serie A | Mon 28 Apr 2025 | 18:45 UTC
Tonight's match at the Stadio Olimpico pits a Lazio side with Champions League aspirations against a Parma team battling to secure their Serie A status.
Both teams enter this fixture on the back of clean-sheet victories and have shown a strong tendency to avoid defeat in recent weeks.
Lazio has been a tough team to beat recently, suffering only one loss in their last 11 Serie A matches – a heavy 5-0 defeat away to Bologna. However, their home form has seen a string of draws, with their last four games at the Olimpico ending in a stalemate.
Parma, meanwhile, boasts an impressive six-game unbeaten run in the league. Despite this streak, five of those matches have ended in draws. Their away form has also been a concern, with only one win recorded in their 16 away Serie A fixtures this season.
Lazio will be aiming to capitalize on their home advantage to secure maximum points and strengthen their push for a top-four finish, recognizing the tight competition for European qualification spots.
For Parma, the accumulation of draws has limited their ability to create significant distance from the relegation zone, where they currently sit six points clear. Their recent morale-boosting 1-0 victory against Juventus will undoubtedly fuel their desire to build on that momentum and create a more comfortable buffer above the drop zone.
Leeds Utd vs Bristol City
Championship | Mon 28 Apr 2025 | 19:00 UTC
Already assured of Premier League promotion, Leeds United have their sights set on the Championship title.
Trailing leaders Burnley by just three points with a game in hand, the Whites will be eager to close the gap in their final home match of the season.
Riding an impressive eight-game unbeaten streak, including four consecutive wins where they've scored at least twice at Elland Road, Leeds will be determined to capitalize on their momentum in front of their home faithful.
Meanwhile, Bristol City's recent 3-1 defeat at Luton Town snapped their four-game unbeaten run, a significant setback in the tight race for playoff qualification.

Arsenal vs Paris SG
Champions League | Tue 29 Apr 2025 | 19:00 UTC
Title secured in Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain arrives with a burning ambition for Champions League glory. Arsenal, their Premier League title aspirations now concluded, can channel all their focus into realising their European dreams in this semi-final.
Both teams stand on the cusp of history, seeking their maiden Champions League trophy. Arsenal's European campaign has been remarkable, having lost only once in 12 matches, including a decisive two-legged triumph over Real Madrid.
Paris Saint-Germain's journey has presented more hurdles, with five defeats in 14 games, though they have secured significant victories against Manchester City and Liverpool.
The Gunners will be looking to replicate their earlier success against the Parisians, having won their league phase encounter 2-0 back in October.

Bournemouth 1 - 1 Manchester Utd
Premier League | Sun 27 Apr 2025 | 13:00 UTC
Domination Index: 53/47
Manchester United snatched a late point as Hojlund's stoppage-time goal cancelled out Semenyo's opener for Bournemouth, dealing a blow to the Cherries' European aspirations.
Bournemouth, who have now drawn three of their last four games, had largely frustrated United's advances after taking an early lead. However, the dismissal of Evanilson in the 70th minute swung the momentum, allowing United to mount sustained pressure that eventually paid off.
While this salvaged point might offer a confidence boost for Manchester United ahead of their Europa League semi-final, it doesn't mask their ongoing struggles in the league, where they remain winless in five matches.
Liverpool 5 - 1 Tottenham
Premier League | Sun 27 Apr 2025 | 15:30 UTC
Domination Index: 78/22
Anfield erupted as Liverpool clinched their historic 20th top-flight title in emphatic fashion, delivering a commanding performance for their jubilant supporters.
In a remarkable debut season, Arne Slot has steered the Reds to league glory. This triumph also marked Liverpool's third consecutive victory, compounding Tottenham Hotspur's woes with their third straight defeat.
Alarmingly for Spurs, they've conceded a staggering 11 goals during this losing streak.
With their Europa League semi-final looming, this result serves as a stark confidence blow for a Tottenham side desperately seeking to salvage their season on the European stage.
