TV: BT Sport ESPN
Atalanta have become something of a mainstay in the Champions League over the last few seasons but, as we head into the final round of matches of the Serie A season, they’re fighting tooth and nail for either a Europa League or a Europa Conference League place. Empoli, on the other hand, have little to play for and have only won one of their last 10 Serie A matches.
The home side have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five in the league, scoring 11 and conceding nine with Over 2.5 goals landing in four of those five.
Empoli have won just one of their last five in Serie A, scoring nine and conceding 13 with Over 2.5 goals landing in four as well.
With such stats we should see goals here and, of course, Atalanta have to go all out. With Empoli’s goal-scoring stats too good to dismiss, the value here is with the hosts winning and both teams scoring.
19:45 Fiorentina vs Juventus: Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals
TV: BT Sport 1
Fiorentina are also involved in the fight with Atalanta for the final European spots and will be confident against Juve, a team who traditionally don’t tend to show up for their final Serie A match of the season.
The home side have won just one of their last five in the league, losing the other four. However, on their own patch, they have been strong, winning four and losing one of their last five at home.
The Old Lady have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five in the league while away from home they’ve won four and lost one of their last five. Juventus have a good record on this ground, with the Gigliati beating Juve only once in the last 10 encounters at Stadio Artemio Franchi in all competitions and while Juventus are known for taking it easy in their final game their form suggests otherwise.
Both teams should get on the scoresheet here and particularly as the hosts have European football as the dangling carrot we should see a third goal; Both Teams to Score & Overs has the best value here.

20:00 Marseille vs Strasbourg: Marseille to Win
TV: BT Sport Extra
Marseille could finish the season second behind PSG and secure a straight passage to the Champions League group stage or down in fourth and having to settle for the Europa League. Or, things could stay the same and they’ll finish third and will have to try their luck in the Champions League qualification stages.
The hosts have won one of their last five in all competitions, drawing one and losing three. In the league they have won three and lost two of their last five while they share the same record over their last five played at home.
Strasbourg are in decent overall form, winning three, drawing one and losing one of their last five Ligue 1 fixtures but on their away jaunts have won just one, drawing three and losing one.
While the away side have proven tough to beat on the road, Marseille’s home form should see them taking the three points here and a price of Evens for them to Win is pretty good considering the hosts have won this league fixtures in four of the last five meetings here.
20:00 PSG vs Metz: PSG to Win & Both Teams To Score
Already-relegated Metz have little to play for but will want to go down with a fight and try to put a dampener on PSG’s ongoing Ligue 1 celebrations. The away side have won two of their last five in the league, drawing one and losing two but their away form is terrible with four losses and one draw.
PSG are undefeated over their last eight games and of their last five have won two and drawn three.
At the Parc des Princes they’ve won three and drawn two of their last five with Overs landing in four of those five games and in three of Matz’s last five on the road too.
The Parisians have only kept one clean sheet over their last six home league fixtures and Metz have scored six over their last three league games and four over their last five away games. PSG to Win and Both Teams To Score has the value with those stats.
20:30 Columbus Crew vs LAFC: Both Teams to Score
TV: Sky Sports Football
Columbus Crew have won just one of their last five MLS games, drawing two and losing two but at home have been decent with three wins and two losses, scoring nine and conceding four. LA have won two, drawn one and lost two over their five most recent league encounters and away from home have won three and lost two, scoring nine and conceding seven.
While LA’s league position would suggest an easy win here they’ve not won any of their three most recent games but with both in good goal-scoring form, and conceding plenty too, the best bet here is Both Teams to Score.
