Match Overview: The day’s highlight kicks off at 18:30, marking the 13th round of the Premier League. The teams are separated by just a single point on the standings, setting the stage for a crucial battle for the 4th spot. This position is critical, as it offers a path to Champions League action for the next season. Chelsea currently sits 4th in the league with 20 points and a goal difference of 15:10. Just one point behind them is United, who unfortunately has a less favorable goal difference of 15:15. Arsenal leads the league with 27 points. Recently, United faced Spurs in a tough match, securing a 2-0 victory in front of their home crowd, and they will need to replicate that performance away now. United is on a positive streak, having achieved four wins and a draw in their last five games. Chelsea is mirroring that performance, boasting four consecutive wins. However, in their most recent match, the London club settled for a disappointing draw against Brentford. Their last four encounters saw United and Chelsea end up drawing, so could we see another stalemate today?
This season, Chelsea's home record stands at: 3 wins, 1 draw, and 0 losses.
United has not lost in the last 5 matches
Chelsea has not lost in their last 7 matches across all competitions.
Betting odds: Betting Bet-at-home A draw in this match is priced at 3.55. A home victory stands at odds of 2.09, while a United win is at 3.35.

Tip: X
1.78 Prva Liga NK Maribor – NK Domžale
Tip: 1
Match Overview: In the top Slovenian league, round 14 features a matchup at 20:15 between two teams currently in 5th and 6th place. Maribor appears to be having a challenging season, struggling against the league's best. They currently hold the 5th spot with 17 points and a goal difference of 21:19. To secure at least a European slot, Maribor must outpace Celje, who sits at 3rd with 25 points. While the championship battle seems out of reach, as Olimpija has a commanding lead, Domžale ranked 6th with 15 points, could leapfrog Maribor if they secure an away victory today. Domžale are currently on a streak of three consecutive draws in the league. Recently, they triumphed over Ilirija in the cup with a 3:1 scoreline. Maribor, on the other hand, faced setbacks in the league with losses against Koper and the eternal derby against Olimpija, both ending with a score of 0:1. As mentioned earlier, it looks like Maribor is struggling and can’t compete with the top-tier teams, and this pattern is becoming increasingly evident. Their last match in the cup saw them crush a lower-division team with a staggering 9:0, although that result carries little significance.
Domžale has not won in their last 5 matches.
Roko Baturina leads the scoring chart for Maribor with 5 goals.
Maribor has gone 6 consecutive home matches without a win.
Betting odds: On PartyPoker Slovenia A home win is priced at 1.78. A draw is valued at 3.50, while a Domžale win is at odds of 3.60.

3.20 La Liga Betis Sevilla – Atlético Madrid
Tip: X
Match Overview: In the 11th round of La Liga, Betis will host Atlético Madrid, with kickoff set for 16:15. Both clubs are level on points in the standings, suggesting a fierce contest for the 4th position. Jan Oblak and his Atlético are currently in 4th place with 20 points and a goal difference of 16:8. Betis sits just below them, also with 20 points but a slightly weaker goal difference of 13:6. In their last league outings, both teams played to draws. Atlético managed a 1:1 against Rayo, which was surely disappointing. Prior to that, they had a mixed bag of results with two wins, a loss, and a draw. Betis, meanwhile, drew 0:0 away against Cádiz in their most recent league match and had accumulated two draws and two wins leading up to that. Therefore, it’s fair to say that Betis is displaying somewhat better form than Atlético, making it difficult for the visitors to claim a win today. Last season, Atlético triumphed in both encounters against Betis Sevilla (3:0 at home and 1:3 away).
This season, Betis's home results are: 5 wins, 0 draws, and 0 losses.
Atlético’s away results this season are: 4 wins, 1 draw, and 0 losses.
Borja Iglesias is the top scorer for Betis, netting 7 goals.
Betting odds: 22Bet Slovenia A win for the home side offers odds of 3.20. The same odds apply for a draw, while the win for the Madrid club stands at 2.24.
