FOOTBALL – CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Four English clubs are in the semi-finals of European competitions this week, and it all starts this evening as Arsenal host PSG, while Barcelona face Inter Milan tomorrow night.

In the Champions League outright market, Hansi Flick’s Barcelona are favourites to add a sixth Champions League trophy to their Copa del Rey and potential La Liga title haul, priced at 15/8.

PSG, still chasing their first-ever Champions League title, are 9/4, while their semi-final opponents Arsenal—also seeking their first—are priced at 27/10.

Inter Milan will hope to channel the spirit of Jose Mourinho’s 2010 triumph, when they knocked out Barcelona en route to lifting the trophy. However, they are the outsiders this time around, priced at 23/5.

Arsenal and PSG get this round underway at the Emirates tonight, with both teams looking to replicate their dominant quarter-final first-leg performances, each having scored three goals. Notably, five of those six goals were scored in the second half, making our Total Goal Minutes and Total Goal Markets worth a close look.

CRICKET – INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE

Next, we turn to the IPL, where 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi made history last night, becoming the youngest player to hit a century in men’s T20s and scoring the second-fastest IPL century ever—from just 35 balls.

Tonight, the Delhi Capitals take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in what promises to be a tightly contested match. Delhi are priced at 4/5, with the visitors available at even money. We're also offering odds of 11/2 for any player to replicate Suryavanshi’s feat and score a century in the game.

FOOTBALL – CHAMPIONSHIP

Fianlly, we head to the EFL Championship, where the 2024/25 season reaches its dramatic final day on Saturday. The title is still up for grabs, with Leeds United and Burnley tied on 97 points.

Leeds are strong favourites at 1/5 to win the Championship as they travel to face struggling Plymouth Argyle. With a 15-goal lead in goal difference over Burnley, a win would all but seal the title. However, this won’t be a straightforward task—Plymouth, who stunned Premier League champions Liverpool in the FA Cup earlier this season, are fighting for survival and are priced at 15/2 to upset the leaders.

Burnley, needing to better Leeds’ result or overturn the 15-goal deficit, host Millwall at Turf Moor. Unbeaten in 32 league games, Burnley are 8/13 to beat Millwall and 10/3 to win the title. Millwall, meanwhile, still have an outside shot at the play-offs and are priced at 17/4 to end The Clarets’ unbeaten run.

With the title, play-offs, and relegation all still undecided, the final day of the Championship is sure to deliver drama.
