Leverkusen vs Freiburg
Leverkusen came from behind twice against Hoffenheim last weekend to cement their place in next season’s Champions League, with three consecutive wins ensuring a third-place finish. They host Freiburg in the final game of the season following the visitors’ 4-1 collapse at home against Union Berlin, a result which allowed Leipzig to climb above them into the top four.
Although Freiburg still have an outside chance of sneaking back into the top four, they would need Leipzig to lose against an already relegated Bielefeld side. There’s a good chance morale will have been shattered in that recent outing, and our football prediction is that Leverkusen will end the campaign on a high, especially considering the purple patch Patrik Schick is enjoying.
Leverkusen win – 2.55
Troyes vs Lens
Three points on the road is imperative if Lens are to keep their European dreams alive heading into the final fixture of the season. They would need some results above them to go their way, but a six-game unbeaten run has left them with a slim chance of breaching the top five. The visitors will be favourites in the football predictions against a Troyes side that have won just once in six.
The hosts are all but mathematically safe from slipping into the bottom three, and they’ll be eying up their final league game against 17th place Lorient as the ideal time to solidify their top-flight status. Troyes were hammered 4-0 in the reverse fixture in Lens, and although this should be a tighter affair, the gulf in quality will likely still be apparent.
Lens win – 2.25
AC Milan vs Atalanta
The race for the Serie A title is well and truly on. With their neighbours Inter facing bottom half opposition in their remaining two games, this is the clash which could decide the title. Anything other than victory would likely see Milan surrender the initiative due to their inferior goal difference. However, the Rossoneri have won four league games in a row and haven’t lost in Serie A since January – they’ll be brimming with confidence heading into this mammoth fixture.
Remarkably, AC Milan have not won a home game against Atalanta since 2014, but our football predictions expect that to change this weekend. The stakes have rarely been higher for an Italian giant that have not won a league title in over a decade, and victory this weekend would leave them in pole position for the final day of the season.
AC Milan win – 1.80
Cadiz vs Real Madrid
Now we know that Madrid already have the title wrapped up and will likely be rotating, but these are still huge odds against a relegation-threatened team with the worst home record in La Liga. Even if Carlo Ancelotti picked a completely rotated eleven, the bookies’ football predictions would still have them as favourites thanks to their abundance of quality throughout.
We don’t expect Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior will want to warm the bench for too long given the impressive numbers they are accumulating this season, and the manager will not want to see Los Blancos lose momentum ahead of the Champions League final. They should be far too good for Cadiz this weekend.
Real Madrid win – 2.15
