After the international break, both teams returned from Peru with a very successful game. The Leeds team has crossed the 2.5 goal mark in all 3 of their matches in Peru, while Bournemouth has also done so in both of their matches. The Cherries are celebrating two great performances in Peru and are fighting for European spots, while the Leeds team does not give up easily. Both teams have a strong offensive game and knowing the first match between them, which ended in a 2-2 tie, I expect to see some goals in this one as well.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Strasbourg celebrated a 3-1 victory against Peru at home in the league, completely dominating against the Nice team, who are fighting to stay in the league. In the semi-finals of the conference league, Strasbourg looks very strong, especially at home, and an opponent like Nice must be beaten.

Both one and the other fell out of Europe and can now focus on the culmination of the Spanish league, as both have something to fight for. Barça can win the league title, while Celta is fighting with the 6th team for the 5/6 places that would secure them a spot in the Europa League or the Conference League next season. Celta's problem is that their defense has been crumbling recently, as in their last 5 games they have conceded 2+ goals 5 times, and 3+ goals in 4 of those games... and now they will face Barcelona's offense, which could easily score 5 goals in a day. Celta's advantage is their offense, which has the power to punish, while Barça's defense always gives their opponents opportunities. My prediction is a 4-2 win for Barça.

Two teams that started the season strongly, RSL has played 7 matches in the Western Conference with 5 wins and 1 loss (16 points, 5 wins, 2 draws), while Inter Miami has played 8 matches in the Eastern Conference and has 4 wins, 3 draws (15 points, 2 wins). As for the attacking tactics of both teams, RSL scores an average of 2.3 goals per match, while Inter scores an average of 2.0 goals per match. As for the over/under market, both teams are at the top, with RSL averaging 3.7 goals per match and having a home average of over 4.0 goals. Inter has an average of 3.8 goals per match, and their away average is similar at 3.7 goals. Looking at the form of both teams, I believe it is realistic to expect at least a 2-2 draw, but my prediction would be 4-2 in favor of one team or the other.

The Eagles team, who currently play very successfully at home, have a streak of 5 home games in which they scored over 3.5 goals. Although AZ is considered a major team in the Netherlands, recently they have not been playing very confidently, so their games tend to have a high number of goals as well. Both teams on average score 3 or more goals, and in their match in December they tied 2-2, so there should also be a lot of goals in this game. In their last 11 matches, AZ has scored a total of 10 goals, so they should continue their productive game.

While the European League semi-final matches are still far away, Braga team can fully focus and prepare for the local league. One of the worst teams in the league, Casa Pia, has already suffered a crushing 4-0 defeat against Braga away, and now I predict the same for their home game against Braga. With a 7-game losing streak, Pia has only scored 3 goals, which will not be enough against Braga, so the victory must be celebrated by Braga.

Germany DFB Pokal semi-final.

Both Stuttgart and Freiburg are putting a stop to their good seasons by living up to their standards. Stuttgart were honorably knocked out of the Europa League quarter-finals by a stronger Porto, and in the German league they have been showing good form all season and are currently in 4th place, which gives them a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
Freiburg's journey in the Europa League continues, and they have reached the semi-finals where they will face Braga and have a good chance of making it to the final! In the German league, they also look solid in 7th place with slim chances of going up to 6th or dropping below 8th, which is very good for their team's value.
These teams have already met twice in the German league, with Freiburg winning 3-1 at home in the first match and Stuttgart winning 1-0 at home in the second, although statistics show that there should have been more goals in both matches.
This semi-final cup match, which will decide the winner, will require both teams to sacrifice defenders in order to strengthen their offense, which could further open up the game.
My prediction would be a 3-1 victory for Stuttgart, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended in a 2-2 draw or something similar.
