The Premier League heads into its final weekend with the focus firmly on the race for European qualification and teams looking to end the season on a high before the summer break. Although the title race has already been decided, the battle for UEFA Champions League and Europa League spots remains intense, with every result carrying major significance.

The final is being seen as a meeting between two of the continent’s strongest modern clubs, with Sundowns aiming to turn their domestic success into continental glory once again.

Best Bet

12/10 AS FAR | Draw 2/1 | Mamelodi Sundowns 22/10 – Sunday, 24 May 2026 (21:00)

Prediction:AS FAR to win at 12/10

Mamelodi Sundowns are a match away from becoming the first South African team to lift two CAF Champions League titles, but face a daunting task of overcoming AS FAR at their backyard in a sold-out Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium.

The Brazilians managed a 1-0 victory at home in the first leg encounter, with Brayan Leon missing three clear-cut chances which could’ve eased the pressure on Masandawana heading to the final showdown. It remains to be seen whether Miguel Cardoso will start with Leon or opt for a more experienced attacker, Peter Shalulile or Iqraam Rayners.

The Portuguese mentor has reached three Champions League finals and is yet to lift the trophy; he is expected to go all out to ensure that Downs doesn’t finish the season trophyless.

The home team were underwhelming in the first leg, even though they were dubbed as the favourites to come out victorious. They have an advantage as they will have the backing of their home fans and need to score at least two goals to seal the deal.

The return of defender Fallou Mendy and Marouane Louadni, who missed the first leg, is a welcome boost for Alexandre Santos, who needs all his soldiers to overcome the 2016 winners of this competition.

Downs dominated the first leg with 71% ball possession and 11 shots, while AS FAR managed just six shots. The home team is expected to be more aggressive, while Sundowns will aim to protect their lead. Expect a highly-contested match.

Value Bet

8/10 Liverpool | Draw 11/4 | Brentford 3/1 – Sunday, 24 May 2026 (17:00)

Prediction:Brentford to win & at 3/1

This is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing fixtures of the Premier League’s final weekend. The Reds head into the match under pressure to secure UEFA Champions League qualification after a season marked by inconsistency under Arne Slot. Defensive mistakes and uneven performances in recent weeks have left little margin for error, and the atmosphere at Anfield is expected to reflect how much is riding on the result, both on and off the pitch this summer.

Liverpool’s attacking threat continues to revolve around Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah, with Dominik Szoboszlai and the rest of the midfield expected to provide creativity and control. However, Liverpool’s biggest weakness this season has been their vulnerability during defensive transitions, particularly against fast counterattacking sides.

The Bees arrive with confidence and genuine motivation of their own, still in the conversation for European qualification, depending on how results elsewhere unfold. In an unusual twist, certain outcomes across the league could even strengthen Brentford’s chances of reaching Europe regardless of the result at Anfield.

Since Keith Andrews' arrival, Brentford have maintained their aggressive and disciplined style despite major squad changes over the past two seasons. Igor Thiago has become a key figure in attack, and Brentford remain especially dangerous from set pieces and quick breaks. Their earlier 3–2 win over Liverpool this season will also give them the belief that they can trouble Liverpool again.

From a tactical perspective, Liverpool are expected to dominate possession and push for an early goal to energise the home crowd. At the same time, Brentford will likely stay compact, absorb pressure, and look to exploit spaces on the counterattack. If Liverpool start strongly, Anfield could become a major advantage, but if the match remains close late into the game, the tension and pressure could dramatically influence the occasion.
