Espanyol have been atrocious in the second part of the season, failing to win in the past 18 games. Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao haven't been great but still managed to win two of the past four. Moreover, Bilbao won three of the past five H2H games.

Three of the last four meetings between these sides finished under 2.5 goals, and the tempo in this fixture is often slower than expected. Brest averaged just one goal per game across the last four matches, so a tight scoreline still feels more likely than a shootout.

Villarreal enters this match as the heavy favorite, currently holding 3rd place with 69 points and a formidable home record at the Estadio de la Ceramica, where they have claimed 14 wins in 17 matches. Under Marcelino, the Yellow Submarine is on a five-match winning home run and recently defeated Sevilla 2-1 in their previous encounter this season. While Sevilla is currently on a two-match winning streak, their away form remains a significant concern, having recorded four consecutive defeats on the road and managed only one win in their last 11 away games. Villarreal’s superior tactical structure and motivation to maintain their top-three standing make a home victory the most probable outcome.

Lazio failed to score in the previous game against Inter, but were really good offensively recently, scoring in four games before the Inter match. Meanwhile, Inter were amazing offensively, scoring 2+ goals in seven consecutive games.

Both teams could get on the scoresheet at the Etihad Stadium. Four of the last five EPL encounters between these sides have seen BTTS land. Six of Crystal Palace’s last eight games also saw both teams on the scoresheet. 

Alaves were solid lately, but they still won only one of the last six matches. On the other hand, Barcelona won the previous six games in a row. Also, Barca won 3-1 in the only meeting between the two teams this season. We should expect Barcelona to win in the upcoming tie.
