Real Madrid host Arsenal at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday, April 16, needing a miracle to overturn a 3-0 first-leg defeat in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

The defending champions were outclassed at the Emirates and must deliver one of their most iconic European nights to avoid elimination. Arsenal, meanwhile, are on the brink of a rare semi-final return.

⚪Real Madrid Aim for Bernabeu Magic | Home Win = 1.75💵

Los Blancos were humbled in North London, conceding three goals without reply — a rare European embarrassment for Carlo Ancelotti's side. However, Madrid’s legendary Champions League pedigree, especially at the Bernabéu, gives them hope.

They’ve overcome worse before — centuries ago against Derby County in 1976, Anderlecht in 84, and Monchengladbach in 85, with all of them being from 3 goals down or more, but most famously and recently against Man City in 2022.

Despite just a narrow 1-0 league win over Alaves at the weekend, Madrid’s stars are expected to rise on this massive night with the world watching.

🔴Arsenal Close to Historic Semi-final | Away Win = 4.61💵

Mikel Arteta’s side stunned the football world with a breathtaking first-leg performance, headlined by Declan Rice’s set-piece brilliance and a Merino strike.

Arsenal are now unbeaten in nine matches and have scored in each of their last eight. They’ll aim to finish the job despite a tricky weekend draw against Brentford.

The Gunners have never lost to Real Madrid in a competitive match, and another disciplined display, buoyed by their impeccable defensive record of not conceding more than 2 goals in a game in their last 78 matches, could seal a famous night for Arteta’s side.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Real Madrid will be without Camavinga (suspension), Militao, and Carvajal (knee injuries), while Mendy and Lunin remain doubtful. Tchouameni returns and should partner Bellingham and Kroos in midfield.  

Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham are expected to start after being rested on Sunday, with Kylian Mbappe still seeking his first UCL free-kick goal.

Arsenal have concerns over Partey, Jorginho, and Ben White after knocks vs Brentford. Calafiori and Jesus are ruled out, but Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka return to the XI.

Newcastle welcome Manchester United to St James’ Park on Sunday, April 13, in a game that could possibly be another silencing of Amorim’s Red Devils, with the Magpies having beat United 2-0 already this season in the reverse fixture.

Eddie Howe’s lads are flying high after four straight wins in all competitions including three in the league, while United’s inconsistency continues to plague their campaign.

⚫Newcastle Eye UCL Return with Home Advantage | Home Win = 1.70💵

Newcastle sit fifth in the Premier League and are well-placed to secure Champions League football, especially with a game in hand over rivals.

Eddie Howe’s side brushed aside Leicester 3-0 on Monday, showing clinical form in front of goal. They’ve also won four of their last five meetings with United, including a dominant 2-0 win earlier this season.

Sunday’s clash is pivotal to keeping their top-four hopes on track. Expect a confident, attacking Toon side in front of a roaring home crowd.

🔴Man United Seek Stability Amid Turmoil | Away Win = 5.10💵

Man United’s European hopes hang in the balance after a string of unconvincing performances. A 1-1 draw away to Lyon in midweek followed a dull 0-0 against Man City.

Defensive errors have plagued their season, with Onana again in the spotlight for costly mistakes. Manager Amorim seems to be aware of his side’s shortcomings and know his side must show grit to avoid falling embarrassingly further behind in the league, with pressure mounting as the season nears its climax.  

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Newcastle remain without Willock (head), Lewis (ankle), Botman (knee), and Hall (foot). Murphy, fresh off a brace against Leicester, will start alongside Gordon and Isak in a fluid front three.

Man United are without Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans due to injury. Bruno Fernandes is set to lead the midfield again, with Zirkzee likely to start after scoring in Lyon.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 4.40💵

⚽ Newcastle have won three (3) straight Premier League matches, scoring 6 goals during the run and conceding one. | Specials Market: Home & Over 1.5 = 1.85

⚽ Man United are unbeaten in four (4) of their last five (5) games in all competitions, drawing Arsenal and Man City and beating Real Sociedad during that time. | Specials Market: Over 2.5 & Yes = 1.96

⚽Five (5) of the last six (6) such meetings between the two teams have ended with only one team scoring. | Specials Market: Multi Correct Scores 1 (1:0, 2:0 or 2:1) = 3.20

With Newcastle pushing for a top-four finish and United desperate for form, Sunday’s encounter could be season-defining for both sides. Expect a feisty affair at St James’ Park.

Real Madrid travel to Mendizorrotza Stadium on Sunday, April 13, desperate for a response after back-to-back defeats in La Liga and Europe and with Barca pulling away with a four-point gap.

Alaves, hovering just above the relegation zone, are fighting for survival and will hope to take advantage of a potentially rotated Madrid side with a certain Arsenal on their minds ahead of a vital Champions League second leg.

🔵Alaves Seek Safety Amid Survival Battle | Home Win = 5.30💵 

Alaves sit 17th in La Liga, two points clear of the drop zone, but recent form suggests resilience. A huge 1-0 win at Girona last time out ended a rough patch and lifted morale.

Despite poor home form—just 16 points from 14 games—Eduardo Coudet’s men have lost only one of their last five league matches. Now they will have to repeat the trick against defending champions to keep their hopes alive.

⚪Real Madrid Need a Response After Back-to-Back Defeats | Away Win = 1.65💵

Los Blancos are four points behind leaders Barcelona and cannot afford more dropped points. A 2-1 loss to Valencia in La Liga, followed by a shocking 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League, has raised alarms.

With El Clásico looming and a Copa del Rey final ahead, this fixture is a must-win for Ancelotti’s men to remain in the title race and stay within touching distance of their Catalan rivals while keeping the team fresh for Wednesday.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Alaves welcome Nahuel Tenaglia back from suspension but lose Jon Guridi, Antonio Sivera, and Tomas Conechny due to bans. Jesus Owono will start in goal, with Kike Garcia leading the attack after an 11-goal league season.

For Real Madrid, Dani Ceballos and Ferland Mendy return to contention, but Carvajal, Militao, and potentially Alaba remain out. Key players like Bellingham, Mbappe, and Vinicius are expected to be rested, with rotation likely from Ancelotti.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 4.28💵

⚽ Real Madrid has won six straight La Liga meetings against Alavés. | Specials Market: Away & Clean Sheet = 2.32

⚽ Alaves have lost just one of their last five (5) games in La Liga, beating Villarreal and Girona during that time. | Specials Market: Over 2.5 & Yes (GG/NG) = 2.13

⚽ Los Blancos have scored 2+ goals in five of their last six visits to Alaves. | Goals Market: Away Over 1.5 = 1.62  

With Alaves desperate to avoid the drop and Madrid eager to bounce back, Sunday’s clash offers intensity from both ends of the table—expect a battle of survival versus silverware ambitions.

Chelsea will look to maintain their top-four push in the Premier League when they host Ipswich Town at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, April 13.

The Blues are fresh off a commanding 3-0 win over Legia Warsaw in the Europa Conference League and aim to carry that momentum into a crucial domestic clash. Ipswich, meanwhile, are fighting to avoid relegation and need a miracle to survive.

🔵Chelsea Push for Champions League Return | Home Win = 1.30💵

Enzo Maresca’s side are unbeaten in their last eight home matches in all competitions and have won five in a row at Stamford Bridge in the league. The Blues have also kept four clean sheets in their last five games, demonstrating their defensive solidity.

With Newcastle, City, and Villa breathing down their necks, Chelsea know that every point counts. A win on Sunday would further solidify their top-four position and keep them on course for Champions League qualification.

⚪Ipswich in Deep Trouble but Cling to Hope | Away Win = 10.66💵

Ipswich are 18th in the table and 12 points from safety with just seven matches remaining. After a defeat to Wolves last weekend, their Premier League status hangs by a thread.

However, Kieran McKenna’s side stunned Chelsea 2-0 earlier this season and will hope to channel that spirit. Completing a league double over the Blues would be historic – the last promoted side to do so was Charlton in 2000-01.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Cole Palmer, who is still searching for his first goal in 12 matches, was rested last weekend but started in Poland and is expected to return to the Premier League XI. Jackson, Cucurella, and Colwill are also likely to be recalled, while Fofana and Lavia remain sidelined.

Ipswich are without Giraud-Hutchinson, Szmodics, Burns, and Ogbene due to injuries. All eyes will be on a former Chelsea academy player, Hutchinson, and Delap, who’s attracting interest from Chelsea and other top clubs as he leads the line for the visitors.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 6.71💵

⚽Chelsea has won five straight league games at home with an 11-2 aggregate. | Specials Market: Home & Over 2.5 = 1.64

⚽Ipswich beat Chelsea 2-0 the last time the two sides met in the league this season. | Specials Market: Over 2.5 & Yes (GG/NG) = 2.10

⚽The Blues have produced huge wins over Ipswich at Stamford Bridge in all their last four (4) such meetings (7-0, 3-1, 2-1, & 4-1). | Main Market: Over 3.5 =2.19 

With Chelsea chasing a Champions League return and Ipswich desperate to avoid the drop, this clash promises intensity, pressure, and high stakes under the Stamford Bridge lights.
