It looks tragically for Pulis, that I even think there would be fights against PSG, a 4-0 defeat against City doesn't add any confidence, and overall with 4 defeats out of 6 in the away games this spring, it's not looking good. PSG has started to show their champion form since the series with Chelsea, helped by Chelsea's foolish mistakes in that match, but PSG's attack was intense and I don't think Liverpool will be able to withstand it because their defense is just unreliable. Adding to this the hot support for Paris and I think that another loss is in store for the visitors.

Barca is simply a better team, as for the Copa semifinals, I won't mention many thoughts because it was just a cosmic 1st half for Atleti, but then Barca barely avoided a loss at home and won 3-0 in the end, by the way 3 out of 4 overall H2H wins for Barca this season, including another 3-1 win at home. Barca is simply unbeatable at home, with only 1 home loss this season in all tournaments recently, scoring 2+ goals in 9 matches in a row. Atletico themselves haven't been playing well away, losing 4 out of their last 6 away matches, only against the strongest opponents apart from Real. I believe Barca will have the advantage even without Raphinho, who is a big loss, but I trust that Rashford can fill in, as he is a reliable player for the big games in his career. As for other options for Barca's attack, it's not even worth talking about, as we all know what kind of machine it is. I predict a 3-0 win.

After being eliminated from the European tournament, another Turkish club lost points in the local league, but now they have to play with confidence in Turkey again. Although Samsunspor team has a history of injuries, they are, in my opinion, the favorites for this match. The weaker average teams in the league are not in good form and struggle to win against stronger opponents. Samsunspor is a good team that performed impressively in Europe, which affected their performance in the league, but now they are focusing solely on Turkey and their game should improve, as well as their results, especially against a strong team like Rizespor.

Two defensive-oriented teams and the first match indicate an under. The difficult period for Aston Villa is already in the past, where the team used to concede a lot of goals, and even the English club itself does not score many goals. Bologna, representing Italy, is known for its dominant playing style in this country's teams. In their past 4 playoff matches, Bologna has not exceeded 3 overs, and Aston Villa has not been able to play with results in both games. The first of the two matches is usually more calm in recent years, so I believe there will be an under in this clash of teams.

Two interesting and well-formed teams. Like myself, I also saw periods where they were able to predict that the match will be high-scoring. Porto is in good form and should dominate at home and score goals, while Nottingham's defense is weak. The English club is capable of scoring goals, whether it's City or Tottenham - this team can score goals. Therefore, from the first match, I believe we will see attacking football with many opportunities and clear goals.

Tragic knights, I believe, came at an inopportune time against Vilnius Žalgiris, who, after losing to Kaunas, have been performing very strongly. The composition of Žalgiris is unmatched and even though the team is struggling, they are playing in their home stadium against a tragic team that is unable to score and is constantly conceding goals. Žalgiris is capable of both scoring and playing successfully, so after such a tough period, I believe they must win and do so confidently.

I believe that the tragic knights showed up at an inconvenient time for Vilnius Žalgiris, who, after losing to Kaunas, must win very solidly. The composition of Žalgiris is extraordinary and although the team is not doing well, they play at their home stadium against a tragic team that is constantly losing and cannot score. Žalgiris is capable of scoring and playing successfully, and after such a stretch, I believe they must win and do it confidently.

The worst league team against one of the better league teams. Marseille hasn't been doing very well lately, but this team has played against very strong opponents and has not scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches. However, now they have a chance to redeem themselves and secure a win. In October, Marseille beat Metz 3-0 away and now they should have a similar level of confidence. Even though Metz has been struggling against lower-ranked teams, they are able to fight back, but against teams of this caliber, they simply crumble. So, it is worth expecting the same here.
