Birmingham have already secured the League One title after winning eight of their last ten matches. They are a win away from a record-breaking points haul and face a Mansfield side that have taken one point from the last 15 on offer. The Stags have at least scored in each of their last seven games and can strike in defeat here. 

Roma haven’t lost in Serie A since the middle of December, a run which has pushed them into the European mix. Inter Milan have lost 1-0 to Bologna and 3-0 to AC Milan in their last two games, while they’ve fallen short in their clashes with the top sides in Serie A this season.

Tottenham were hammered 4-0 when they visited Anfield in the EFL Cup earlier this year and they could suffer another heavy defeat against Liverpool on Sunday. The Reds require just a point to win the Premier League title but can go a step further with a comprehensive win.

Benfica have won seven of their last eight matches and are fresh from booking their place in the final of the Taca de Portugal. However, they shipped twice in their most recent home league fixture against Arouca and could be breached in victory against AVS.

Espanyol have taken 11 points from a possible 15 in their last five matches in La Liga and the fact they have nothing to play for in the league means they are playing without fear. Back them to take at least a point off Villarreal, who were stunned in a 3-0 loss to Celta Vigo last time out.

Looking to bounce back from their shock 1-0 defeat to Parma on Wednesday, Juventus can get back on track in their push for the Champions League places in Serie A with victory over basement boys Monza, who could fail to net in defeat.

The Cavs topped the Eastern Conference, putting up impressive numbers against the NBA’s strongest sides. They finished the season with the league’s best offensive rating, while they boast contenders for Defensive Player of the Year and Coach of the Year. The Cavs have a talented roster, which looks more cohesive under Kenny Atkinson’s watch. They head into the playoffs having put together three win streaks of 12 games or more this term, making this a standout price.

Justin Thomas has struggled in his last two Masters starts – no surprise given the downturn in his form generally – but he ended 2024 by finishing second and third in his last two events. He’s well suited to Augusta, where his approach play and scrambling ability are huge assets.

Rory McIlroy’s first PGA Tour title came at the Charlotte venue in 2010 and he’s gone on to win the Wells Fargo Championship at the course on a further three occasions. He is comfortable at Quail Hollow and looks an obvious title threat if he can hold it together mentally.

A runner-up in 2022 and third in 2023, the exacting test which the US Open usually provides should prove to be ideal for such a marvellous ball-striker as Scottie Scheffler.

Tommy Fleetwood is one of the best exponents of links golf in the world, finishing in the top 12 in four of the last six Opens. Expect him to make another bold run at the Claret Jug come July.

Aryna Sabalenka dominated the hard courts on the WTA tour last year, winning 40 of her 49 matches on the surface, and she claimed both the Australian Open and US Open titles. She can be devastating in Melbourne, winning 27 of her last 28 matches at the Grand Slam in the last three seasons.

Iga Swiatek remains the undisputed queen of clay on the WTA tour. The Pole has won the title at Roland Garros three seasons running as well as in 2020 and she has lost just twice in 37 matches at the clay-court Grand Slam.

Last season’s ATP Tour was pretty much dominated by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who each won two of the four Grand Slam titles, and between them it should be another stellar year. Alcaraz reigned supreme at Wimbledon, making it back-to-back titles at the All England Club, and Novak Djokovic’s obvious decline at 37 years of age makes the Spaniard a worthy favourite to rack up the hat-trick.

At the back end of a gruelling season, the US Open can sometimes throw up strange results and there are often surprises before the September silverware is eventually secured. It could, therefore, be worth going against the head of the market and hard-court specialist Daniil Medvedev ticks plenty of boxes at a nice price.

Goals could be on the cards when AC Milan visit Venezia in Serie A. Venezia have to attack their remaining games in Serie A as they look to stave off relegation, while AC Milan put three past rivals Inter in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday. Back both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.

Both Nantes and Toulouse have allowed their form to slip in the closing weeks of the Ligue 1 season and, as they look to claw their way from any potential relegation problems, we could be in for a nervy encounter on Sunday with few goals.

Neither of this sides are in great form and a cagey encounter can be expected. Under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in five of Auxerre’s last seven games and five of Lens’ last six, with another tight match expected when the two face off on Sunday.

Under 2.5 goals has landed in seven of St Pauli’s last eight trips in the Bundesliga and in Bremen’s last two home games.

Napoli have posted four wins in their last six matches and are the team to beat in the Serie A title race right now given Inter’s slip-up in form. The club from Naples can keep their winning run going with a low-scoring victory over Torino.

Evanilson has enjoyed a decent season at the forefront of Bournemouth’s attack and can add to his tally of nine goals in this season’s Premier League when his side clash with Manchester United.

Enjoying the best season of his career, Mo Salah can net his 28th league goal of the season when Liverpool welcome Tottenham to Anfield with the chance to win their second Premier League title.

Omar Marmoush has bagged six goals in this season’s Premier League since his arrival at the start of the year and, having scored in the FA Cup quarter-finals, he can net in this semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest.

Bournemouth have taken four points from their last two games and look the more likely to win this game but goals could be at a premium so opt for a 1-0 win to the Cherries.

No team has kept more Premier League clean sheets than Liverpool (14) this campaign and the Reds should shut out struggling Tottenham with 3-0 to the Reds appealing in the correct-score betting.

Rotherham have scored in four of their last five games and have also conceded in four of those fixtures. Stevenage have just one clean sheet in their last 10 and both teams have scored in four of their last five home games.

Espanyol have shown recently they can hold firm against some of the division’s stronger sides and they can get something out of this game. Goals at both ends looks likely as both teams have scored in four of Villarreal’s last six games.

Benfica have won seven of their last eight matches and are fresh from booking their place in the final of the Taca de Portugal. However, they shipped twice in their most recent home league fixture against Arouca and could be breached in victory against AVS.

Both teams have scored in each of Castellon’s last eight games and that pattern could continue at Malaga, who have gone four games without a clean sheet.

Five straight defeats has left Bochum in a precarious position in the Bundesliga and their scrap for survival could suffer another blow with a loss to Union Berlin, who are finishing the campaign strongly.

Malaga have won two of their last four home games and they’ve only lost three of their last 13 at this venue. Castellon are the team in the better form, but they’ve not been picking up points on the road and have won just once on their travels since October. Malaga are only four points clear of the drop zone and they can give their survival hopes a big boost by grinding out a win here.

Bochum look destined to finish in the bottom two and they come into this game after five successive defeats, and four consecutive losses at home. Union are on a six-game unbeaten run and they look capable of leaving with maximum points here.

Espanyol are unbeaten in five, while Villarreal lost 3-0 at Celta Vigo last time out and haven’t won any of their last four home league matches.

Nantes are just four points ahead of 17th-places Saint-Etienne after struggling to string two decent results together in recent weeks and their recent home matches have not been sparkling affairs – just two of their last nine on their own patch have featured more than two goals.

Reims, who won the reverse fixture 3-2, have a Coupe de France final to enjoy next month and have quietly picked up some decent results of late, winning four of their last five matches.

Marseille’s bright start under Roberto De Zerbi slowly succumbed to the inconsistency that has plagued the club but they are usually excellent at home and can stay second in Ligue 1 by beating Brest in a high-scoring contest.

Montpellier’s losing streak was extended to 11 thanks to a 5-1 thrashing at Marseille last Saturday and they are set to finally be relegated on Sunday. Their visitors, Reims, have won four of their last five matches and continue building momentum ahead of next month’s Coupe de France final. Four of Montpellier’s last five defeats have been by two or more goals, and Reims can cover a -1 handicap against a side who are going down without showing any fight.

Five wins in their last six matches have propelled Werder Bremen into contention for the European places in this season’s Bundesliga and they should be too strong for St Pauli, who are nearly home and dry in the relegation battle.

Birmingham have already secured the League One title after winning eight of their last ten matches. They are a win away from a record-breaking points haul and face a Mansfield side that have taken one point from the last 15 on offer.

Manchester City are on the up with four wins from their last five matches, downing Aston Villa in the Premier League most recently, and they can make their experience count in this FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest. Back City to win in 90 minutes.

Their visitors, Reims, have won four of their last five matches and continue building momentum ahead of next month’s Coupe de France final. Four of Montpellier’s last five defeats have been by two or more goals, and Reims can cover a -1 handicap against a side who are going down without showing any fight.

Zaragoza are hovering just above the drop zone and Huesca are looking to force their way into the promotion spots. Zaragoza have won just one of their last 12 games, losing six, and could be vulnerable against a side who have won two of their last four – although Huesca have just one clean sheet in their last seven and may concede in victory.

Marseille are strong at home and should utilise that advantage, but they have conceded in 13 of their 15 matches on their own patch this season. With both teams having also scored in eight of the last ten meetings between the pair, taking OM to win but concede is the approach to take.

Benfica have won seven of their last eight matches and are fresh from booking their place in the final of the Taca de Portugal. However, they shipped twice in their most recent home league fixture against Arouca and could be breached in victory against AVS.

Boavista are on course for relegation from the Primeira Liga this season and their struggles in attack have undoubtedly played their part with the club failing to score in 16 of their 30 matches in the top flight. They could be shut out in defeat to title-chasing Sporting Lisbon.

Marseille are strong at home and should utilise that advantage, but they have conceded in 13 of their 15 matches on their own patch this season. With both teams having also scored in eight of the last ten meetings between the pair, taking OM to win but concede is the approach to take.

Napoli have posted four wins in their last six matches and are the team to beat in the Serie A title race right now given Inter’s slip-up in form. The club from Naples have won their last two games without conceding and can claim another three points and a clean sheet against.

Both teams have scored in seven of Zaragoza’s last nine games and in five of Huesca’s last six.
