Man United v Chelsea
TV: Sky Sports Main Event, 8pm
Both Teams to Score, No
Manchester United require just a point from their final two games to be assured of Champions League football next season. Chelsea can leapfrog Crystal Palace into 11th with a win. All five of Man United’s most recent Premier League games have seen no more than two goals and all five of their most recent league games at Old Trafford have also seen no more than two goals and the Red Devils kept five clean sheets in those games.
Chelsea have failed to score in two of their last five in the league and in two of their last five on their recent travels too. With United’s record of clean sheets of late they should be keeping a goalshy Chelsea quiet come Thursday night.
Under 0.5 First Half Goals
United have averaged 0.71 goals per home league game this campaign and have conceded 0.18, by far the lowest in the Premier League this season. Chelsea have only scored 0.5 goals per first half. We’re likely to see a slow start here so we’re getting some great value for zero first half goals.
Conor Gallagher to Commit 2 or More Fouls
Conor Gallagher has been Chelsea’s main offending when it comes to yellow cards this season, collecting nine over the season so far. Sitting in front of Chelsea’s midfield he’s tasked with breaking up opposition attacks and in facing off against the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen and Casemiro he’s likely to commit at least two fouls over the course of the game.

Osasuna v Athletic Bilbao
TV: Premier Sports 1, 8:30pm
Both Teams to Score
At the time of writing Girona are just two points behind Athletic Bilbao in the chase for the final European football place and they’ll be confident of collecting the three points here against a home side who have won just one of their last five fixtures in all competitions. At home, the hosts have won three and lost two of their last five in the league, scoring eight and conceding nine.
Bilbao have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five away La Liga fixtures, scoring nine and conceding nine. With Both Teams to Score landing in eight of the last 10 combined home/away games we have to go with both teams getting on the scoresheet here.
Osasuna or Athletic Bilbao to Win
Of their last 10 combined La Liga games only one has ended level and of their last 10 combined home/away games we also see that only one has ended all square. As mentioned above, both sides are in decent goal-scoring form and with it unlikely to end level we’re backing one of the sides to take the three points.
