Bilbao showed that they know how to stop PAOK leader Tyree. Although it may not have been logical to expect a third win in a row for Bilbao against Peru, this is the final and PAOK will naturally feel more pressure at home to secure a tangible result before the second leg against Bilbao. Therefore, I am taking a more valuable coefficient.
The Asia CL2 final between two dominant teams. Nassr, with Ronaldo, easily won the quarterfinal against Al Wasl with a score of 4-0, while Al Ahli had a slightly tougher time with a 3-1 victory over Al Hussein, which showed that both teams arrived in Dubai in good offensive form. The clear favorite in this match is Nassr, and rightly so, as their attacking lineup is composed of well-known European players. However, Al Ahli will definitely try to fight back and if they can keep their defense strong, they may be able to score against Nassr.
Two teams that pleasantly surprise with their current opponents are Bournemouth, who have not lost 12 consecutive games and are strongly fighting for a spot in the Europa League next season. Leeds has pulled away from the relegation zone thanks to 6 unbeaten games and on top of that, secured a spot in the FA Cup semifinals where they have decent chances against an out-of-form Chelsea side. Both teams have been looking quite impressive on the attacking end, causing discomfort for the English elite with their recent performances, and they both love to score goals. In the 22-23 season, when they played each other in the EPL, Leeds won 4-3 against Bournemouth and lost 4-1 in the reverse fixture. This season, they are both back in the EPL and their first game ended in a 2-2 draw, perfectly reflecting how evenly matched these teams are. I am once again expecting an exciting game between them, and my prediction is a 4-2 win for Bournemouth.
