Crystal Palace Vs Everton, Sunday 2pm
What a Thursday night, what a season and what an era it is turning out to be for Crystal Palace after they reached the Europa Conference League final.
And the Eagles have a great chance of an unprecedented second straight season of silverware.
League Comparison
Position | Team | Played | Points | GD |
10th | Everton | 35 | 48 | 0 |
15th | C Palace | 34 | 43 | -6 |
Their Premier League form has suffered, understandably, given the focus on Europe, but they host an Everton side who haven’t won in four matches.
With that said, David Moyes’ team were excellent against Manchester City on Monday and they could still make European competition if they motor - and they could take advantage of some weary Palace legs on betting apps.

Barcelona Vs Real Madrid, Sunday 8pm
This fixture has everything you could want from a late season edition of El Clasico - or, to be more accurate, everything Barcelona could want from it, as they go into the game knowing that even a point will secure the La Liga title for the second successive season.
They are imperious at home (and were so even before November’s move back to Camp Nou) and they still have a 100% home record.
League Comparison
Position | Team | Played | Points | GD |
1st | Barcelona | 34 | 88 | +58 |
2nd | Real Madrid | 34 | 77 | +39 |
Real Madrid, meanwhile, arrive in crisis (and without Federico Valverde) after this week’s training ground disturbance, and they are still without Kylian Mbappe.
Hansi Flick’s side have conceded only nine goals at home and are capable of edging their visitors out - even if they don’t find the levels to totally outclass them with Lamine Yamal missing.
Andy's Panel Selection 2: Barcelona Vs Real Madrid: Barcelona To Win To Nil - 33/10 With Grosvenor
Le Havre Vs Marseille, Sunday 8pm
Marseille’s season has fallen through the floor, with last week’s thrashing at doomed Nantes a fourth defeat in six.
Having been dark horses to challenge Paris Saint-Germain for the title, that defeat meant Marseille are now mathematically incapable of making any of the three automatic Champions League places and are very unlikely to even finish fourth, which would provide passage to the qualifiers.
League Comparison
Position | Team | Played | Points | GD |
7th | Marseille | 32 | 53 | +15 |
14th | Le Havre | 32 | 32 | -13 |
A trip to La Havre will be tough, with Didier Digard’s team really difficult to break down and edging to safety from relegation after last week’s commendable draw at Lille (and if it hadn’t been for that result, Marseille wouldn’t have even an outside chance of making fourth place).
It was their fifth stalemate in a row and a home win might be a touch ambitious, though, given Le Havre have won only six games all season.
Andy's Panel Selection 3: Le Havre Vs Marseille: Le Havre Win/Draw Double Chance - 10/13 With Grosvenor
Andy's weekend treble pays out at around 18/1 with Grosvenor.
