Forecast: 1X (Real Sociedad win or draw) and total less than 3.5 for 1.89.

Having defeated Barça in the Clasico, Real Madrid actually closed all questions about the championship, and this is important for Arsen Zakharyan’s club, because four days after the meeting of the two Real Madrid, Madrid will have to fight in the semi-finals of the Champions League with Bayern. After the success in the Clasico, Carlo Ancelotti can, with a clear conscience, field a reserve squad in San Sebastian, and no one will blame him for this. Bellingham, Rodrigo and a number of other key players may miss the match.

Sociedad will no longer be able to get into the top 4, but staying in the top 6 is also important. On their home field in the match with the champion at five minutes to none, Imanol Alguacil’s team will try not to lose face, and Arsen Zakharyan will most likely start. Even a mixed composition of the “royal club” – this is a serious force with ambitions to prove itself in order to get into the starting lineup more often, so it’s not worth “ordering” a clean victory for the hosts. The guests will agree to a draw and will definitely not allow the Basques to score many goals.

Forecast: Double chance 1X (West Ham win or draw) for 2.64.

It’s difficult for Liverpool. The derby defeat to Everton was a huge blow and there is a feeling that neither Klopp nor his players believe in a happy ending and a title. The coach leaving the club at the end of the season talks about the task of maintaining a place in the top four, and this is not a joke: all four remaining rivals are very serious. First, David Moyes’s West Ham, who have been unable to win for almost a month, and at the same time as Liverpool, were knocked out of the Europa League, although they forced the invincible Bayer Leverkusen to seriously strain.

The Hammers also need points to qualify for European competition next season, no matter what their opponents are Liverpool. They are also in a crisis, so we see odds of 1.51 for Liverpool’s victory, as if the “Reds” are in perfect order, they are victoriously flying towards the title, and three defeats in two weeks from Atalanta, Crystal Palace and Everton” were from someone else. It’s tempting to do the opposite, especially since West Ham had more time to recover and prepare for the match, and at the end of the season this is perhaps the key factor.

Forecast: Juventus victory in 2.05.

The match between the eternal rivals in Italy will influence who will take the final second place behind champion Inter. “Juventus” may also end up outside the top three, where “Bologna” is knocking without any respect for the “old lady”. Both teams are currently out of form, judging by the latest results, but although Milan are 5 points higher in the table, morale is better for Juventus: Allegri’s team can still lift the trophy this season — On May 15, the final is with Atalanta, and it dropped out of the race for the Scudetto a long time ago, and the club is even happy with third place in the current situation.

Milan is in complete depression. Inter mercilessly showed in the derby who is now the main club in Italy and Milan, and the elimination from the Europa League, which the Rossoneri dreamed of winning, from Roma was also offensive. The streak without a win has dragged on, and the players understand that the era of Stefano Pioli, which began so joyfully, is close to sunset. The Turin public misses their team and will push it forward, but at home Juventus almost always dominates, and Juve won away from Milan this season.

Forecast: Arsenal’s victory and the total is over 2.5 in 2.40.

Tottenham will take part in the Premier League title race, and this is no joke. “Spurs” will be happy to help “City” take the lead in the most important derby in England, if, of course, they have enough skill for this, because, unlike “Arsenal”, stability is not at all about Tottenham. As soon as Ang Postecoglou’s team confidently plays a couple of matches, it follows a failure, like the one that happened in Newcastle.

Arsenal were upset by the failure against Bayern, but they focused on fighting for the title, and Wolverhampton and Chelsea felt it. Derby – this is a special story, the double of the brilliant Son Heung-min did not allow Arsenal to take the lead at home in the first round – 2:2. But a lot has changed since September. North London derbies are usually high-scoring. It is very likely that this will be the case this time too, but Arsenal’s success depends more on a solid defense. Arteta’s team makes mistakes, but quickly learns from them and still concedes the fewest goals in England, while Tottenham have problems with this, so the visitors will score more.

Forecast: total less than 2.5 for 2.18.

After the derby between Spartak and CSKA, which was easy to fall asleep to, the Lokomotiv media service could not resist and used their match in Nizhny as an example: a comeback from 0:2 and three goals in the last 20 minutes. Pari NN conceded in almost every attack in April, and Vladimir Slishkovich, having taken Abaskal’s place in Spartak, decided to dance away from the stove: in three games, Spartak allowed Zenit, Rostov and CSKA to create two or three scoring chances. If it weren’t for Khlusevich’s mistake in giving the ball to Oblyakov in the derby, and one lost set piece in Rostov, the defensive game could have been called ideal.

In the first round, Spartak and Lokomotiv played 1:1, although higher results were expected from the meeting. They are still waiting for it, but the match again may not live up to expectations, and instead of a spectacle it will turn out to be a cautious tactical fight. Sliskovic seems to be a pragmatic coach. Why break something that started working? Maksimenko caught the courage in the goal. The opponent actually has one of the best goalkeepers in the league, Ilya Lantratov, the teams put a lot of effort into the midweek tour and will save what little energy they have left. The outcome can be decided by a penalty kick, a corner kick or a mistake by one of the teams, and there are unlikely to be many goals.

Forecast: Zenit’s victory in 2.08.

If Dynamo still claims first place, the blue and white need to go out and beat Zenit, especially since they have already done it twice this season. Zenit suffered a home defeat from Rubin as punishment for its sluggishness against both Baltika and Orenburg, but that scenario cannot be repeated: the opponent will play differently. Rather, it makes sense to remember the Zenit match in Krasnodar, where the reigning champions managed to defeat their direct competitor in a strong-willed manner.

Dynamo beat Orenburg away this week in a controversial match. Tyukawin and Ngamale snatched victory, although the hosts looked much better and squandered a lot of chances. Zenit won the last head-to-head meeting with Dynamo confidently, although before that they lost twice in a row. It’s a difficult match to predict, but Zenit’s class is higher, and Dynamo’s defensive organization raises many more questions than Rubin’s. A click on the nose from the Kazan team will wake up the Zenit Brazilians, who have relaxed after the success in Krasnodar, and they will show their class again.
