Brighton – Manchester United
Brighton remains in the European cup zone, but two May defeats seriously hit the chances of getting the coveted ticket. A defeat in the match with MU will almost certainly leave Fabian Hürteler's guys outside the top-8. Despite the fact that the last three duels of the teams took place at "Old Trafford", the "seagulls" won two victories. The "red devils" have no tournament motivation, as they will not move from the 3rd place. But the motivation to make Bruno Fernandes the Premier League record holder for the number of assists in a season will drive the guests forward. Therefore, a goal exchange is quite obvious, which played in 5 out of the last 6 head-to-head confrontations of the opponents.

Bet: both will score (yes)
Burnley – Wolverhampton
It is symbolic that the worst teams of the season will meet in the final round. And the match, despite the early departure of both, has tournament significance. Wolverhampton, in case of victory, will bypass Burnley, slightly sweetening the end of a failed campaign. However, the "wolves" did not win a single away victory this season, scoring only five points. For this reason, such an outcome seems unlikely. We suggest using the bookmaker's quotes and play the non-defeat of the "claret", who drew in the last home match with the winner of the Europa League.

Bet: Burnley will not lose
Fulham – Newcastle
At "Craven Cottage", table neighbors will meet, however, this meeting does not carry any tournament significance as such. Fulham and Newcastle have already lost chances to get into the European cups. The "magpies" twice defeated the "cottagers" this season and look more confident at the finish, but it is still surprising to see them as favorites in London. The last head-to-head meetingLight" the match ended with a 3:1 victory for the hosts, so our editorial team expects a competitive, mutually sharp football. We believe that the teams will exceed the total score for the fifth time in a row.

Bet: total over 2.5 goals
Crystal Palace – Arsenal
Welcome the new champions! Arsenal, after 22 years, took the title and will go to "Selhurst Park" in a great mood. After losing to City (1:2), Mikel Arteta's proteges not only didn't fall apart, but showed the best pace of points accumulation in the league, achieving four consecutive "clean" victories. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, hasn't won for six rounds in a row, and just three days after the London derby, the "glaziers" are facing the most important match in club history - the Conference League final. Oliver Glasner will surely save his leaders, while the "gunners" will make the maximum effort to put a full stop in the championship season.

Bet: Arsenal to win
Nottingham Forest – Bournemouth
Bournemouth failed to hold onto a victory over Man City, which would have allowed them to seriously consider breaking into the top-5. However, the Europa League is already guaranteed for the "cherries", so next season they will start their first ever European campaign. But for now, they need to visit unmotivated Nottingham. The teams have had 11 head-to-head meetings in the current decade, and in none of them did the "foresters" celebrate a victory. However, in the last four battles at "City Ground", there was always an exchange of goals. All factors now also point to goals on both sides.

Bet: both teams to score (yes)
Liverpool – Brentford
Arne Slot's team was lucky to maintain a three-point lead over the "cherries", so nothing pressures them in the final round - too significant an advantage in goal difference. However, the motivation is extreme: to win the last home match of the season, giving a grand farewell to their legends - Mo Salah and Andy Robertson. Brentford, who still have chances to get into Europe, desperately needs a win, but in the last four visits to "Anfield", the "bees" didn't even manage to score a goal, let alone accumulate points. This is a case where the favorite should justify its status.

Sunderland – Chelsea
At the "Stadium OfThe atmosphere at the "Light" will surely be heated as a clash for a place in the European cups is set to take place. Sunderland has been on a non-losing streak and is only one point behind Chelsea. In the first round, the "Black Cats" beat the "Blues" at "Stamford" (2:1), so they definitely have a chance at home. The victory of Calum McFarlane's boys over Tottenham, who are struggling near the relegation zone (2:1), does not indicate a full recovery, and our editorial team does not believe that the "Pensioners" will take three points on such a tough away game.

Manchester City – Aston Villa
Guardiola, in his final season at the helm of Man City, did not become the champion. The "Citizens" held on to Arsenal until the very end, but had a weak match in Bournemouth and lost their chances for the title. Probably, the reason for this was the leak of information about the departure of the head coach. However, winning the final game of the season, which will be a farewell for Pep after ten years at the club, is a sacred duty of the players, regardless of the opponent. Especially since City has been beating Aston Villa at the "Etihad" for ten matches in a row. The Birmingham team, with a winning hangover after the LE final, has already fulfilled their mission, so they will not resist much.

Bet: Manchester City to win
Tottenham – Everton
We've saved the sweetest for last. This is a battle for survival that promises to keep the tension until the last minutes. Tottenham only needs to draw with Everton to stay in the league. However, the same was true in the last round, when the "Spurs" lost to Chelsea (1:2). Everton, who hasn't won in six consecutive matches but scores a lot, will visit "Tottenham Hotspur Stadium". This is an opponent who can cause serious problems for Roberto De Zerbi's boys. Considering the motivation of the teams and the presence of many trends for goal exchange, we choose this betting option.

Bet: both teams to score (yes)
West Ham – Leeds
The "Hammers" will try to pull off a miracle, but little depends on them. Even a victory does not guarantee salvation. Moreover, there are big doubts about the fact of victory. The thing is that Leeds has not lost in the last seven away Premier League matches and has twice defeated West Ham this season. Interestingly, in the five previous head-to-head meetings, the teams consistently hit the "over", often with a margin, scoring more than three goals. In the final round, neither of them makes sense to play for a draw, so we can expect the usual high scoring for this confrontation.

Bet: total over 2.5 goals
Tour Summary
Two big teams are on the brink of relegation, so the spotlight is on the matches that will determine the future participant of the Championship. They promise to be emotional and rich in goals. A separate story is the European cup duel at the "Stadium of Light", where the hosts are clear underdogs. If you don't have club preferences, choose these games to watch and bet responsibly!
