This week's Tournament consists of Premier League, Serie A, LaLiga matches. Picks for the week:

This Week's Match Predictions:

✧ Brentford vs Brighton: 2-2
A Draw. Brentford, currently 11th, will host Brighton, currently 10th, in a matchup between two sides whose seasons have been defined by inconsistency. In the past 5 games, both teams have seen 1 win, 2 losses, and 2 draws. Brighton, notorious for dropping points from winning positions, will welcome Jan Paul van Hecke back from suspension but are missing several defenders. Despite home ground advantage, Brenftord has not shown formidable home form lately. With both teams leaky at the back and desperate for a win, I'm expecting an open contest where both teams score, but neither wins.

✧ Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth: 2-1
Crystal Palace wins. Palace sits at 12th while Bournemouth sits at 8th. Despite sitting lower on the table at time of writing, Palace has shown remarkable consistency lately, unbeaten in the last 4 games. On the other hand, Bournemouth has struggled with consistency with 2 losses and 2 draws in the last 4 matches. Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta has been on fire with 9 goals this year, a significant figure as the Eagles aim to push for a top-half finish. Possibly still reeling from their FA Cup exit, Bournemouth continues to fight with key absentees like Enes Unal. Expect both teams to find the net, but Palace's momentum and home form will see them edge a win.

✧ Everton vs Manchester City: 1-2
Manchester City wins. Everton has shown resilience at Goodison but face City, desperate to climb back into the top 4. City will likely be without goalkeeper Ederson, currently a major doubt with a groin injury. Everton’s direct, physical style under Moyes could trouble a City side that’s sometimes vulnerable to set pieces, especially with a backup keeper. However, City’s attacking firepower and the urgency to avoid dropping points in a tight race for Champions League places should see them through—albeit not without a scare.

✧ West Ham vs Southampton: 2-0
West Ham wins. West Ham sits mid-table and safe from relegation, but they'll be eager to end a their winless run and finish the season on a high. Southampton has struggled all season and are already relegated, with poor defence and only 2 wins for the whole season. The Hammers have struggled for goals at home recently, but the Saints’ lack of fight and leaky defence should offer ample opportunity for a confidence-boosting win. I'm banking on West Ham’s eagerness to perform for home fans to secure them a win.

✧ Barcelona vs Celta Vigo: 2-1
Barcelona wins. Barca will be focused on maintaining their LaLiga lead as well as their impressive winning streak. They'll be close to full strength coming into this match, with a few minor injury doubts. Meanwhile, Celta sits at 7th, solidly mid-table, but have struggled for goals against top defences. With the home crowd behind them, Barca is expected to dominate possession and create chances. Celta’s resilience could keep it close for a while, but Barca will take the victory.

✧ Aston Villa vs Newcastle: 2-2
A Draw. Villa sits at 7th and are in excellent form, having won 4 of the last 5 games. They'll be pushing for a top 4 finish once again. On the other hand, Newcastle sits high on the table at 3rd, hopeful for key players returning from injury, including Isak and Gordon, also having won 4 of the last 5 games. Newcastle have dominated recent head-to-heads, but Villa’s home form and momentum could make this a true toss-up. In this high-stakes, high-energy match, a draw feels likely.

✧ Fulham vs Chelsea: 0-3
Fulham wins. Fulham and Chelsea meet in a West London derby this Sunday with European implications. Both teams have shown inconsistency in recent games, with Fulham losing 3 games and winning 2 in the last 5 matches, while Chelsea saw 1 loss, 2 draws, and 2 wins in the last 5 matches. Chelsea has dominated this fixture historically, but Fulham has won 2 of the last 5 meetings and are strong at home. This will be a close fight with both teams chasing Europe, but I think home advantage could cause Fulham to edge a win.

✧ Ipswich vs Arsenal: 2-1
Arsenal wins. Ipswich, sitting at 18th, hosts Arsenal, chasing the title at 2nd, this Sunday at Portman Road. They'll be fighting for survival, languishing near the bottom of the table and having lost 7 of the last 10 matches while being ravaged by injuries. Meanwhile, Arsenal continues to chase Liverpool, displaying greater quality and depth through the season. The Gunners' attack should overwhelm Ipswich's makeshift defence. A comfortable win for Arsenal should be no surprise.

✧ Manchester United vs Wolves: 2-1
Manchester United wins. United, sitting at 14th, is under pressure after a disappointing season where they find themselves in an unfamiliar spot mid-table. United's home form has also been patchy, only winning 1 of the last 5 games at home. Meanwhile, Wolves sit closely at 16th, having had an inconsistent start to the season. However, they have shown a recent pick up in performance, winning 4 of the last 5 matches. Additionally, both teams are equally affected by injuries. I expect a close fight though United will edge a win with the home crowd's support.

✧ Empoli vs Venezia: 2-1
Empoli wins. Both teams sit closely at the bottom of the table—Empoli at 19th and Venezia at 18th, locked in a fight against relegation. Both teams have struggled for goals and wins, with Empoli slightly better at home. Conversely, Venezia has had poor away form with no victories on their travels this season. In the last 5 games, Empoli has seen 3 losses and 2 draws, while Venezia has seen 1 loss, 3 draws, and 1 win. Their last 5 H2H encounters saw 3 wins to Venezia and 2 draws to Empoli, with the last one being a 1-1 result, showing how closely matches the teams are. I expect a tense, cagey affair where Empoli takes a close win with added home ground advantage.

✧ Leicester vs Liverpool: 0-3
Liverpool wins. Leicester will host Liverpool this Sunday on home ground at King Power Stadium. With an odds gap this large, it's hard to imagine an upset or loss for Liverpool, leading the league in 1st place with an impressive 76 points at time of writing. Meanwhile, Leicester is all but down at 19th with a mere 18 points. Liverpool's attack, led by season standout Salah and team mate Luis Díaz, should have no trouble breaking down Leicester's poor defence. Unfortunately for the the Foxes, their only hope is to frustrate early though their recent form and lack of confidence make an upset almost impossible.

✧ Bologna vs Inter: 2-1
Bologna wins. A slightly risky pick here, giving the win to Bologna, sitting at 5th, against current Serie A leaders Inter. Bologna has been Serie A's surprise package with commendable recent form, and especially tough to beat at home. Meanwhile, Inter will be focused on maintaining their position while closing in on the title, boasting the league's best attack and defence this season. However, Inter has faced a couple of losses on the road this season which questions if their away form could give Bologna a slight edge on home ground. I'm betting that it'll be an intense fight but Bologna could see a victory here.

✧ AC Milan vs Atalanta: 1-2
Atalanta wins. Absolutely looking forward to this Serie A match between Milan, sitting at 9th, and Atalanta at 3rd. Milan will be focused on making a final push for Europe, under pressure after a disappointing campaign. Atalanta holding steady in top 3 will be pushing for a Champions League spot. Both teams will be very motivated to take the win in this match, but Atalanta's high-pressing, attacking style could expose Milan's defensive frailties. Their last H2H encounter saw a home win for Atalanta. This will give Atalanta added confidence in facing Milan again. Expect goals and drama, but Atalanta’s edge in form could see them nick it late.

What do you think of these picks?
