Odds are via Sporty Bet and correct at the time of posting.

Date: Friday, April 10, 2026

Odds: 1.86

Justification: This is a must-win match for West Ham as they fight to climb out of the bottom three.

The Hammers have shown resilience at the London Stadium recently, and with key men like Jarrod Bowen expected to lead the line, they have a significant quality edge over a Wolves side currently at the bottom.

While Wolves have rallied lately, West Ham's desperation for survival points at home makes them the favourites.

Date: Saturday, April 11, 2026

Odds: 2.01

Justification: Dortmund is currently second in the Bundesliga and are dominant at Signal Iduna Park, having lost only once at home all season.

While Leverkusen remain dangerous in attack (coming off a 6-3 win over Wolfsburg), their defence has been leaky.

Dortmund's momentum and the Yellow Wall advantage should carry them to victory in this top-six clash.

Date: Saturday, April 11, 2026

Odds: 1.35

Justification: Despite the intimidating atmosphere at the Millerntor-Stadion, the gulf in quality is vast.

Bayern Munich are hitting their traditional April peak, having just defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. St Pauli's aggressive, open style of play often leaves them exposed against elite counter-attacking teams like Bayern.

Date: Friday, April 10, 2026

Odds: 1.30

Justification: Real Madrid returns to the Bernabéu looking to close the gap at the top of La Liga and end a two-match losing streak.

Girona have struggled in the big-game atmosphere of the capital, and we expect Los Blancos to control the tempo from the start and secure a professional victory.

Date: Sunday, April 12, 2026

Odds: 2.16

Justification: The standout Premier League fixture of the weekend. Manchester City is historically perfect during the final two months of the season, and Pep Guardiola’s side currently possesses a psychological edge over Chelsea.

City’s clinical efficiency in "must-win" title matches makes the away win the strongest play here, plus Chelsea have also struggled in big games under Liam Rosenior.
