Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona: UCL Bound Hosts Look to Beat Catalans for the First Time Since 2019, While Champions Eye 100 League Goals

La Liga’s curtain falls at the iconic San Mamés as champions Barcelona visit high-flying Athletic Club on Sunday, May 25, in a celebratory clash between two of Spain’s most successful campaigns this season.

Having already sealed the La Liga title with two games to spare, Hansi Flick's treble-winning Barcelona will look to cap off a glorious season with a win. Athletic, meanwhile, have secured a top-four finish and a Champions League return for 2025/26.

Ernesto Valverde's side has enjoyed a stellar year, reaching the Europa League semis and boasting La Liga's best home defensive record—just 10 goals conceded in 18 games. They’ve also won their last three matches without conceding.

Though they fell short of a dream European final in Bilbao, the Lions will be in high spirits after guaranteeing top-four status. They are unbeaten in their last three at San Mamés and will look to end their campaign with a statement win.

🔵🔴Barca Eye 100-Goal Mark in Dominant Title Run | Away Win = 2.14💵

The Blaugrana are gunning for a fourth major trophy this season after clinching La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and Supercopa. With 99 goals in the league, they’ll want to cross the century mark in style on the final day.

Despite a surprise 3-2 loss to Villarreal last weekend—Barca’s first domestic defeat of 2025—they remain La Liga's best away team, collecting 42 points from 18 road games. Flick is expected to rotate his squad, but the intent remains the same: finish strong.

Barcelona remain without Kounde, Bernal, and Torres, while Araujo is unlikely to be risked. Frenkie de Jong and Alejandro Balde are set to return, while Dani Olmo may replace Fermin Lopez despite the latter’s strong form.

Nottm. Forest vs Chelsea:  Last Day, One Ticket, Last Chance - Forest Eye 45yrs Long UCL Return Whiles Chelsea Fight to Seal Return

Nottm. Forest vs Chelsea:  Last Day, One Ticket, Last Chance - Forest Eye 45yrs Long UCL Return Whiles Chelsea Fight to Seal Return

Nottingham Forest welcomes Chelsea to the City Ground in a dramatic Premier League finale with Champions League dreams—and heartbreak—on the line this Sunday, May 25.

With just one point separating the two sides, Chelsea sit 5th and hold the final automatic UCL qualification spot. Forest, a point behind, needs a win and help from others. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

🔴🌲Forest Look to Shock the Big Boys | Home Win = 3.25💵

Nott'm Forest Players Celebrating a Goal

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side revived their European hopes with a gritty 2-1 win over West Ham last weekend, ending a four-game winless streak. They now seek a 20th league win—something never achieved in their 38-game Premier League history.

Forest have been formidable at home, and with the Conference League at worst secured, they will throw everything at Chelsea to make a late UCL surge. Expect a roaring City Ground and fearless pressing from the Garibaldi Reds.

Nott'm Forest Players Celebrating a Goal

A win may not be enough, though. Forest also needs Aston Villa or Newcastle to drop points to sneak into the top five. That adds pressure—but also drama—on the final day.

🔵Chelsea in Control of Their Fate | Away Win = 2.26💵

The Blues need just one thing: victory. Three points seal their Champions League spot, regardless of other results. It’s a straightforward mission—but their away form complicates it.

Chelsea Players Celebrating a Goal

Despite winning six of their last seven games, including a 1-0 win over Manchester United last weekend, Chelsea have only one win in their last ten away league games. Their attack has sputtered on the road, scoring just five times across that stretch.

Still, they’re peaking at the right time. Enzo Maresca’s men also have a Conference League final in midweek but will have full focus here, looking to wrap up business in Nottingham first.

Chelsea Players Behind a Set-Piece

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰

Forest may be without Murillo, who hasn’t trained since an ankle knock, while Taiwo Awoniyi is in recovery after his medically induced coma. Milenkovic and Morato anchor the backline, with Hudson-Odoi eager to haunt his former club.

Chelsea welcomes Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu back to the squad, boosting a frontline missing suspended Nicolas Jackson. Teen Tyrique George could be rotated out, while Sancho is also available after sitting out vs. Man United. Mudryk (suspension), Fofana, and Kellyman (thigh) remain sidelined.

Chelsea & Forest Players in Action

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 3.86💵

⚽ Forest are unbeaten in 11 of their last 14 league home games and have scored in 10 of the last 13 league matches at the City Ground. | Specials Market: (O/U & GG/NG) Over 2.5 & Yes = 1.88

Chelsea & Forest Players in Action

⚽ While Chelsea’s away league form screams trouble, their overall form is quite impressive, with 5 wins from their last 6 games in all competitions. | Specials Market: (Double Chance & O/U 1.5) Draw/Away & Over 1.5 = 1.63

⚽ The reverse fixture ended 1-1, but Chelsea won 3-2 here last season, seeking back-to-back away wins vs Forest for the first time in 103 years. | Main Market: Over 2.5 Goals = 1.69

City Ground - Forest Home & Venue for Game

With tension thick in the air, both sides are playing for more than pride. It’s UCL or bust—and 90 minutes will define their seasons.

Napoli vs Cagliari: Conte Eyes Scudetto Glory as Lukaku Leads Title Charge on Final Day

Napoli vs Cagliari: Conte Eyes Scudetto Glory as Lukaku Leads Title Charge on Final Day

Napoli host Cagliari at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Friday night in what could be a historic Serie A title decider for the Partenopei. Napoli’s fate is in their own hands. A win secures the title — anything less could force a playoff if Inter draws at Como.

Two years after lifting their third Scudetto, Napoli are one win away from sealing their fourth, edging out Inter Milan in a nail-biting title race in which they get to decide how it ends for themselves.

🔵Napoli Aim to Seal the Deal at Home | Home Win = 1.19💵

Napoli Players Celebrating a Goal

Napoli have taken 14 points from their last six games, with four wins and two draws, and they’ve kept four clean sheets in that time. Despite an underwhelming 0-0 draw at Parma, Antonio Conte’s men remain in control of their destiny.

This could be Conte’s third Serie A crown with a different club, adding to his illustrious CV alongside Juventus and Inter. Regardless of his future at Napoli, winning the Scudetto would cap a dramatic one-season turnaround after last year’s 10th-place finish.

The Napoli team, with manager Conte, in an ongoing game

Despite scoring just 57 goals, Napoli’s resilience and Lukaku’s key contributions at home have pushed them to the brink. A title here would break their tie with Roma and crown them the most successful southern club in Italian history.

🔴️Cagliari Play Spoilers with Survival Secured | Away Win = 17.09💵

Davide Nicola’s Cagliari ensured top-flight safety with a 3-0 win over Venezia last week. Roberto Piccoli netted his 10th of the season in between goals from Mina and Deiola in what was a spectacular home win for the Isolanis.

Cagliari Players Celebrating Goal

Cagliari matched last season’s 36-point tally and could finish 14th, a solid return for a team tipped to struggle. But their poor away form — just three wins on the road — casts doubt on their upset chances in Naples.

Still, recent Napoli stumbles against bottom-half sides, including Parma, Genoa, and Venezia, will give Cagliari hope they can add another twist to the title race.

Cagliari Players Celebrating Goal

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Romelu Lukaku is the man to watch for Napoli, having directly contributed to nine home goals in 2025 — the most in Serie A. He’s expected to start alongside Raspadori, with Neres likely to be used as an impact sub.

Midfield could be a concern if Lobotka is not fit enough to start. If so, Billy Gilmour would partner McTominay, who has seven goal involvements at home this year. Juan returns, but Olivera could keep his place in defence.

Napoli's Scottish Players

Cagliari will be without Luvumbo and Gaetano, while Elia Caprile will face his parent club in goal. Pavoletti and Piccoli should spearhead the Rossoblu attack, with Viola providing support if needed.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 7.91💵

⚽ Napoli have won nine of their last 12 home games vs Cagliari, averaging 2.5 goals per match. | Specials Market: (1x2 & O/U 2.5) Home & Over 2.5 = 1.55

Results from the last game of Serie A contenders, Napoli & Inter

⚽ Cagliari have drawn three (3) of their last 6 games against Napoli, with 2021 being the last time such draws came away at Napoli. Interestingly, all 3 draws had a 1-1 score line. | Goals Market: (Away O/U) Away Over 0.5 = 2.12

Antonio Conte - Napoli Manager

⚽ Lukaku has scored or assisted in every home game since February and is Serie A’s top home performer in 2025. | Player Market: (Anytime goalscorer) Lukaku, Romelu = 1.78

A raucous Stadio Maradona awaits as Napoli chase history. Will Conte’s side finish the job, or will Cagliari crash the party on a night of destiny in Naples?

Como vs Inter Milan: Scudetto on the Line as Lautaro & Co Head to Sinigaglia for Title-Decider Needing Luck at Napoli

Como vs Inter Milan: Scudetto on the Line as Lautaro & Co Head to Sinigaglia for Title-Decider Needing Luck at Napoli

Inter Milan face a must-win clash away at Como on Friday, May 23, in the final match day of the Serie A season, knowing only three points will give them a chance to retain their crown.

With Napoli just one point ahead and facing Cagliari at home, Inter’s only route to the title involves a win and a slip-up from the Partenopei—otherwise, a historic playoff may be needed if both sides finish level on 79 points.

🔵⚪Como Out to Spoil the Party | Home Win = 5.30💵

Como Players Celebrating a Goal

Back in Serie A after 21 years, Como have turned heads, securing a top-half finish under Cesc Fabregas. They’ve won their last three home games, conceding just once in that stretch.

Currently 10th on 49 points, Como could become the first promoted team to hit 50 points since Verona in 2014. Friday is their moment to shine against Italy’s elite.

Como Players Celebrating a Goal

Though they’ve lost the last 3 league meetings with Inter, the hosts are full of belief and eager to test the champions on their home ground, where they’ve recently been near-impeccable, going eight games without a defeat.

🔵⚫Inter Milan Dream of a Successful Scudetto Title Defence | Away Win = 1.62💵

The Nerazzurri are still reeling from a dramatic 2-2 draw against Lazio, where Pedro’s stoppage-time penalty denied them top spot. Despite Dumfries’ late header that seemed to seal the win, VAR ruled otherwise.

Inter Milan Players Celebrating a Goal

Inter have won just two of their last eight domestic away games, a major dip after a streak of eight straight away victories with seven clean sheets earlier in the campaign.

Simone Inzaghi’s side must now reset and focus, just a week before the UEFA Champions League final against PSG. A win at Sinigaglia could crown them, if Napoli slips at home, but if not, a draw with a Napoli defeat could force play-offs—it’s all to play for.

Inter Milan Players Celebrating a Goal

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Inter are hopeful of having Lautaro Martinez and Davide Frattesi fit for the bench, with Pavard also nearing a return. If Lautaro starts, Taremi will make way for a reunion with Thuram.

Dumfries, with 11 goals and 5 assists this season, remains a major weapon on set pieces and in transition. Expect him to be central again in Inter’s attacking thrust.

Inter Milan Players Celebrating a Goal

Como are without top scorer Assane Diao, so young star Nico Paz will shoulder the creative burden. Goldaniga is suspended, while Reina, aged 42, will play his final professional game.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 4.46💵

⚽ Inter have scored 2+ goals in seven of their last ten league matches and have won all their last three meetings against Como. | Specials Market: (1x2 & GG/NG) Away & Yes = 3.00

Inter Boss, Inzaghi in a conversation with his player, Calhanoglu
