Sassuolo have only one clean sheet in their last eight, which, honestly, tends to invite problems sooner or later. You can picture a back line that never quite settles. Milan might not be flawless, but with players like Pulisic and Leão, the Rossoneri usually find a way through, so both sides scoring feels quite believable.

Man United have had the upper hand in this fixture recently, including a 2-1 win at Anfield earlier this season. They've also lost just one of their last six meetings with Liverpool across all competitions. The Red Devils have been solid as well, winning three of their last five league games.

Liverpool come in with similar momentum, also winning three of their last five in the league. Just like United, their games tend to produce goals, with both teams scoring in six of their last eight matches. Given United's strong record in this matchup and their consistency at home, they look slightly better placed to edge this contest.

Aston Villa have been fantastic at home, winning four in a row and scoring 12 goals. Meanwhile, Tottenham went over 2.5 goals in 65% of their PL games. Additionally, seven of the past eight H2H games ended with three or more goals.

Lyon won three in a row, while Rennes won four in a row. However, looking further back, over the past ten Ligue 1 games, Rennes have been the best team in the league. We expect them to win at least one point in this game.

Espanyol's league form in 2026 has been abysmal - they are still winless. Real Madrid, on the other hand, will be eager to get back to winning ways and should simply be too much for Espanyol’s defence to handle, with the hosts having failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last seven league home outings.

Espanyol's lack of goalscoring form does not, fortunately, translate into poor defensive displays, as they remain relatively solid at the back. The last two head-to-head meetings between Espanyol and Real have seen under 2.5 goals, while Espanyol's last two league matches have also produced fewer than 2.5 goals in total.
