This week's Tournament consists of Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 matches. Picks for the week:

This Week's Match Predictions:

✦ Manchester City vs Crystal Palace:2-1
Manchester City wins. Manchester City will be focused on climbing back into the Champions League spots as they host Crystal Palace this Saturday at the Etihad. Pep Guardiola’s side has struggled for consistency this season, but their home form remains formidable with 9 home wins this season. Star player Haaland is out due to ankle injury so it's uncertain how City will deal with this against Palace's attack. We'll certainly see a spirited Palace performance, but I think City will secure a narrow win.

✦ Brighton vs Leicester: 3-0
Brighton wins. Brighton is still in contention for European football as they face relegation-threatened Leicester. Fabian Hürzeler team has been impressive at home with 6 home wins and only 3 home losses all season, supported by forwards João Pedro and Danny Welbeck and midfielder Kaoru Mitoma. Meanwhile, Leicester faces struggles with defensive vulnerabilities, even more so away from home. Should be an easy win for the Seagulls.

✦ Nottingham Forest vs Everton: 2-1
Forest wins. At which point do we stop calling Forest an underdog of the season, considering their remarkable performance these past months? Nottingham Forest hosts Everton this Saturday with strong home record, winning 4 of the last 5 matches at City Ground. Morgan Gibbs-White will remain pivotal in Forest's attacking play, especially with rumours of Chris Wood's and Anthony Elanga's absence due to recent injuries. Meanwhile, Everton rely heavily on set-pieces under David Moyes, though struggling with consistency on the road with a lack of wins in the last 5 games. We'll see Forest win this one, but not without a fight if their key players are out for this weekend.

✦ Southampton vs Aston Villa: 0-2
Aston Villa wins. Southampton are all but relegated as they host Aston Villa who are chasing European football. Villa has been in excellent form under Unai Emery with 4 wins in the last 5 games. On the other hand, Southampton's defence has been porous and their morale, unsurprisingly, at rock bottom after a streak of losses. Despite home advantage for Southampton at St Mary's and relegation desperation, I think Villa will take this, easy.

✦ Monaco vs Marseille: 1-1
A Draw. A crucial clash for Champions League qualifications with Monaco sitting at 3rd and Marseille sitting at 2nd, currently. Mika Biereth leads Monaco with 12 goals this season, but will need support from Maghnes Akliouche to break down Marseille's organised defence. Marseille comes into this match with Mason Greenwood in fine form (16 goals), but their away record has been inconsistent. Both teams will fight just as hard for a spot in Champions League and I think their comparable drive will result in a stalemate at Stade Louis II this Saturday.

✦ Inter vs Cagliari: 3-0
Inter wins. Inter Milan will look to maintain their title charge against relegation-threatened Cagliari. Inter has shown impressive performance with Lautaro Martínez leading the goals, and they will likely exploit Cagliari's defensive weaknesses this weekend. Meanwhile Cagliari has only won twice away all season and should not trouble Inter's league-best defence. Inter will cruise this win.

✦ Arsenal vs Brentford: 2-0
Arsenal wins. Arsenal will be focused on keeping pace with Liverpool at the top as they host mid-table Brentford this Saturday at the Emirates Stadium. Bukayo Saka remains Arsenal's key player and will look to exploit Brentford's defensive lapses on the flanks. Bryan Mbeumo has been Brentford's standout performer this season, along with forward Yoane Wissa. They'll face a tough challenge against Arsenal's well-organised backline and superior home form. Despite Brentford's proven ability to trouble bigger sides on occasion, I've no doubt that Arsenal will win.

✦ Bayern München vs Borussia Dortmund: 3-1
Bayern wins. Der Klassiker sees Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich host Borussia Dortmund in a classic face-off. Harry Kane has been unstoppable for Bayern with a league-leading 23 goals and will relish facing Dortmund's shaky defence that has conceded far too many goals this season. Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy has shown flashes of brilliance but lacks consistent support from his teammates in big games. Bayern's home dominance and confidence at the top of the table makes them overwhelming favorites here despite Dortmund's potential on the counterattack.

✦ Juventus vs Lecce: 2-0
Juventus wins. At time of writing, Juventus sits at 5th and will aim to strengthen their grip on a European spot as they host Lecce facing relegation struggles. Dusan Vlahović has endured a frustrating spell but should find opportunities against Lecce's leaky defense that has conceded 50 goals this season. Lecce has struggled both at home and on the road this year and will probably lack the firepower to trouble Juve at Allianz Stadium where Igor Tudor's side has been solid defensively all season long.

✦ Chelsea vs Ipswich: 3-0
Chelsea wins. Chelsea sits in the top 4 while they host Ipswich at the other end of the table. Cole Palmer's performance in goals and assists fuel Chelsea's top 4 push while Ipswich's injury crisis deepens. The Blues have also been in solid form, particularly at Stamford Bridge with only 2 home defeats this season. On the other hand, Kieran McKenna's side has faced with much challenges, Ipswich bringing in 8 losses away from home. Despite a surprising home win for Town in their last H2H encounter, Chelsea's recent dominance should reflect in an easy win here.

✦ Liverpool vs West Ham: 3-0
Liverpool wins. Leaders Liverpool, with an impressive 73 points at the time of writing, will host West Ham at Anfield. Their performance will also be boosted by their remarkable home form—12 wins and only 1 home defeat this season. Despite revealing some vulnerability in a recent loss against Fulham, this season's wins more than outweigh this small setback. Arend Martijn Slot's high-pressing aggressive style and strategy has allowed for the Reds' dominance this season. Meanwhile, West Ham fights for survival in 15th position, with recent form offering little consolation and encouragement—1 win in the last 5 games. Liverpool will win again this Sunday.

✦ Wolves vs Tottenham: 2-1
Wolves wins. Wolves host Spurs at Molineux this Sunday. Was seriously considering between a draw and a Wolves win here but decided with the latter considering their recent form of 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 5 games. This is in contrast with Spurs 1 win and 3 losses in their last 5 matches. Wolves' recent upturn in form could see them through a successful battle against relegation this season. Meanwhile, Spurs find themselves in an unfamiliar position at 14th. Expecting to see Wolves' Matheus Cunha, with support from teammates, bring another win for the team here.

✦ Newcastle vs Manchester United: 2-1
Newcastle wins. This Sunday at the iconic St James' Park, Newcastle, at 5th, will host inconsistent United, currently sitting at 13th. Just shy of top 4, the Magpies will be looking to push for a Champions League spot. They've also had impressive recent form with 4 wins in the last 5 games, and a strong home record to complement that. Eddie Howe's aggressive and high-pressing style has seemed to pay off this season. Meanwhile, United finds themselves in an unfamiliar position, languishing mid table. On the road, Manchester United's form has also been inconsistent with 6 losses and only 4 wins. In their last H2H encounter, Newcastle bagged a 2-0 win and we could see a similar repeat this Sunday.
