Football tips for 3 Apr 2026: Analysis of 2 promising matches featuring top teams - today's football schedule. The day's fixtures include notable teams worth watching.
On 3 April 2026, football tips return with Europe's major leagues resuming after the international break. Two prominent teams, Paris Saint-Germain and Leicester City, are in action. Here is the analysis and outlook for these two intriguing matches.
- France's Ligue 1 / Kickoff at 01:45 GMT+7
PSG aims to stay ahead of Lens, the second-placed team trailing by just one point, though PSG has played one fewer match. They have won their last three games in all competitions and remain unbeaten at home for two matches this 2023-24 season. In their last three meetings with Toulouse, PSG won all, including a 6-3 away victory and a 3-0 home win last season. However, PSG will miss Fabian Ruiz and must monitor Bradley Barcola's ankle injury. It remains to be seen if they will field a full attack including Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Toulouse has won its last two Ligue 1 matches after losing 0-1 at home to Marseille. A win at PSG would mark their first three-match winning streak in the league since October-November 2024. However, in their last seven away games at PSG, they lost six and won once in May 2024 (3-1). The team faces six injuries, including Charlie Creswell, and Santiago Hidalgo is suspended. Although PSG might rest players ahead of their Champions League match against Liverpool, they are expected to secure three points at home.
Outlook : PSG to win comfortably.
- England's Championship / Kickoff at 21:00 GMT+7
The "Foxes" are struggling both on and off the pitch, having won only one of their last 13 league matches (7 losses, 5 draws). Financial sanctions have docked 6 points, placing them in the relegation zone, one point below safety but with one more game played than Portsmouth. Home form is poor, with five losses and one win in the last six matches. The good news is that top scorer Jordan James, with 10 goals and recently injured with the Wales national team, is fit to play and will partner with Abdul Fatawu and Jordan Ayew.
Preston recently ended a seven-game winless streak (5 losses, 2 draws) by beating Stoke City 3-1 before the international break, earning only 3 of 15 possible points in the last five matches. They sit 11 points outside the playoff zone. Crucially, Preston has not won in six away matches (4 losses, 2 draws). They are missing Alistair McCann and Callum Lang due to injury, although Alfie Devine, on loan from Tottenham, has scored 8 goals. Leicester is likely to muster all efforts to win and avoid relegation.
Outlook : The Foxes to edge a narrow victory.
