Real Madrid travel to Mendizorrotza Stadium on Sunday, April 13, desperate for a response after back-to-back defeats in La Liga and Europe and with Barca pulling away with a four-point gap.

Alaves, hovering just above the relegation zone, are fighting for survival and will hope to take advantage of a potentially rotated Madrid side with a certain Arsenal on their minds ahead of a vital Champions League second leg.

🔵Alaves Seek Safety Amid Survival Battle | Home Win = 5.30💵 

Alaves sit 17th in La Liga, two points clear of the drop zone, but recent form suggests resilience. A huge 1-0 win at Girona last time out ended a rough patch and lifted morale.

Despite poor home form—just 16 points from 14 games—Eduardo Coudet’s men have lost only one of their last five league matches. Now they will have to repeat the trick against defending champions to keep their hopes alive.

⚪Real Madrid Need a Response After Back-to-Back Defeats | Away Win = 1.65💵

Los Blancos are four points behind leaders Barcelona and cannot afford more dropped points. A 2-1 loss to Valencia in La Liga, followed by a shocking 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League, has raised alarms.

With El Clásico looming and a Copa del Rey final ahead, this fixture is a must-win for Ancelotti’s men to remain in the title race and stay within touching distance of their Catalan rivals while keeping the team fresh for Wednesday.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Alaves welcome Nahuel Tenaglia back from suspension but lose Jon Guridi, Antonio Sivera, and Tomas Conechny due to bans. Jesus Owono will start in goal, with Kike Garcia leading the attack after an 11-goal league season.

For Real Madrid, Dani Ceballos and Ferland Mendy return to contention, but Carvajal, Militao, and potentially Alaba remain out. Key players like Bellingham, Mbappe, and Vinicius are expected to be rested, with rotation likely from Ancelotti.

Chelsea will look to maintain their top-four push in the Premier League when they host Ipswich Town at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, April 13.

The Blues are fresh off a commanding 3-0 win over Legia Warsaw in the Europa Conference League and aim to carry that momentum into a crucial domestic clash. Ipswich, meanwhile, are fighting to avoid relegation and need a miracle to survive.

🔵Chelsea Push for Champions League Return | Home Win = 1.30💵

Enzo Maresca’s side are unbeaten in their last eight home matches in all competitions and have won five in a row at Stamford Bridge in the league. The Blues have also kept four clean sheets in their last five games, demonstrating their defensive solidity.

With Newcastle, City, and Villa breathing down their necks, Chelsea know that every point counts. A win on Sunday would further solidify their top-four position and keep them on course for Champions League qualification.

⚪Ipswich in Deep Trouble but Cling to Hope | Away Win = 10.66💵

Ipswich are 18th in the table and 12 points from safety with just seven matches remaining. After a defeat to Wolves last weekend, their Premier League status hangs by a thread.

However, Kieran McKenna’s side stunned Chelsea 2-0 earlier this season and will hope to channel that spirit. Completing a league double over the Blues would be historic – the last promoted side to do so was Charlton in 2000-01.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Cole Palmer, who is still searching for his first goal in 12 matches, was rested last weekend but started in Poland and is expected to return to the Premier League XI. Jackson, Cucurella, and Colwill are also likely to be recalled, while Fofana and Lavia remain sidelined.

Ipswich are without Giraud-Hutchinson, Szmodics, Burns, and Ogbene due to injuries. All eyes will be on a former Chelsea academy player, Hutchinson, and Delap, who’s attracting interest from Chelsea and other top clubs as he leads the line for the visitors.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 6.71💵

⚽Chelsea has won five straight league games at home with an 11-2 aggregate. | Specials Market: Home & Over 2.5 = 1.64

⚽Ipswich beat Chelsea 2-0 the last time the two sides met in the league this season. | Specials Market: Over 2.5 & Yes (GG/NG) = 2.10

⚽The Blues have produced huge wins over Ipswich at Stamford Bridge in all their last four (4) such meetings (7-0, 3-1, 2-1, & 4-1). | Main Market: Over 3.5 =2.19 

With Chelsea chasing a Champions League return and Ipswich desperate to avoid the drop, this clash promises intensity, pressure, and high stakes under the Stamford Bridge lights.

Chelsea travel to the Polish capital on Thursday night to face Legia Warsaw in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League quarterfinal clash at Stadion Wojska Polskiego.

The Blues have been dominant in Europe this season, winning every game so far, while Legia are looking to upset the odds and continue their strong home form in Europe.

🔴Legia Warsaw Eye Giant-Killing at Home | Home Win = 5.80💵

Legia have lost just once at home since mid-September, showing resilience in both domestic and European matches. Their 5-0 Polish Cup win over Ruch and 2-1 weekend victory over Gornik Zabrze show they are in fine form.

The Polish side only just scraped into the quarterfinals after back-to-back losses to close the league phase, but a dramatic extra-time win over Molde showed their fighting spirit. Chelsea’s shaky away league record may give them confidence of a David-Goliath kind of triumph.

🔵Chelsea Seek European Dominance | Away Win = 1.58💵

Chelsea cruised through the group stage and last-16 with a 100% win record, including home and away victories over Copenhagen last month. Enzo Maresca’s men are clear tournament favourites and are aiming to win a fourth different UEFA competition.

Despite their domestic inconsistency, Chelsea remain focused in Europe and are unbeaten away from home in the Conference League. A favourable route to the final also adds pressure to get the job done early in Warsaw.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Chelsea rested key players at the weekend, including Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, and Marc Cucurella. Maresca is expected to go full strength, with Palmer and Pedro Neto likely returning to the starting XI.

Romeo Lavia is ineligible, and Wesley Fofana remains a long-term absentee. For Legia, Marc Gual and Bartosz Kapustka are doubtful, while Jan Ziolkowski and Artur Jedrzejczyk are suspended. Luquinhas, who scored twice on Sunday, is set to start.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 4.46💵

⚽ Chelsea has won all 8 games in the Conference League this season. | Specials Market: Away & Over 2.5 = 2.20

⚽ Legia are unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 home matches in all competitions. | Specials Market: Over 2.5 & Yes (GG/NG) = 2.13

Chelsea's superior European record and squad depth give them the edge, but Legia’s strong home form and attacking threat make this a tricky first-leg test for the English side.
