- English Premier League / Kickoff at 02:00 GMT+7
"The Whites" need 4 more points from their last 4 games to officially avoid relegation, currently 6 points clear of the drop zone. Their recent league form is unbeaten in 5 matches, earning 9 points (2 wins, 3 draws). Impressively, they've won all 5 games against already relegated teams this season, scoring 18 goals and conceding just 3. Latest team news: striker Noah Okafor is doubtful with a calf injury; he has scored 5 goals in his last 6 league starts. The attack also features Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Brenden Aaronson.
Burnley is the second team to be relegated after Wolverhampton. Recently, they dismissed manager Scott Parker and appointed assistant Mike Jackson for the final 4 matches. Burnley has won only 1 of their last 25 league games. Notably, one of their 4 wins this season was a 2-0 victory over Leeds in October. In their last 3 meetings, Burnley has not lost to Leeds (2 wins, 1 draw). However, they have lost their last 4 matches and despite having striker Zian Flemming, who scored 8 away league goals, overall they may struggle against Leeds, who are fighting to avoid relegation.
Prediction : Leeds to narrowly win.
- Spanish La Liga / Kickoff at 02:00 GMT+7
This match is a direct battle for points. Girona sits 4 points above the relegation zone with 5 games remaining, but has failed to win in their last 3 matches (2 losses, 1 draw). In 21 meetings against Mallorca, Girona trails with 7 wins, 9 losses, and 5 draws. Latest squad issues: key left-back Alex Moreno is suspended, and 6 players are injured including Donny van de Beek, Abel Ruiz, and Portu. However, the team is led by Axel Witsel, Azzedine Ounahi, Thomas Lemar, Viktor Tsygankov, and Claudio Echeverri.
Mallorca is just 1 point above the relegation zone but has shown improvement recently, collecting 7 points in their last 4 games, including a surprise 2-1 win over Real Madrid. However, they have the worst away record in the league this season with only 1 win, 3 draws, and 12 losses in 16 away matches. They've also lost the last 2 matches against Girona. Mallorca has 6 injured players including Lucas Bergström and Marash Kumbulla. Fortunately, they still have Vedat Muriqi, the La Liga second top scorer with 21 goals, who could be key to earning a point on the road.
Prediction : A high-scoring draw.
