- English Premier League / Kickoff at 02:00 GMT+7
The "Spurs" are close to escaping relegation after winning their last two matches against Wolverhampton and Aston Villa, a turnaround from a 15-game winless streak in the league since the start of 2026. Winning 2 of the remaining 3 matches will secure their safety. However, Tottenham has been the worst home team this season, with only 2 wins, 5 draws, and 10 losses in 17 home games. They also have 9 injured players, including Cristian Romero, Dominic Solanke, and Xavi Simons. James Maddison, who has been out for a long time, may make a comeback. The key players leading the team include Richarlison, Pedro Porro, and Conor Gallagher.
Leeds are already safe following West Ham's 0-1 home loss to Arsenal, leaving the "Whites" 7 points above the relegation zone, while the "Hammers" have only 2 games left. This is a result of Leeds' good form, remaining unbeaten in their last 6 league matches (3 wins, 3 draws) and not losing in their last 6 away league games (1 win, 5 draws). They have a chance to avenge 5 consecutive losses against Tottenham, but will be without Noah Okafor, who scored 4 goals in the last 4 games, due to injury. It appears the more determined "Spurs" are likely to celebrate victory.
Opinion : Tottenham narrowly clinches victory to keep their Premier League hopes alive.
- English Championship Playoff Semi-final Second Leg (first leg ended 0-0) / Kickoff at 02:00 GMT+7
Although the "London Lions" missed automatic promotion to the Premier League by just one point behind second-place Ipswich Town, they have lost only 2 of their last 14 games (8 wins, 4 draws). Their last 6 home league matches included 4 clean sheets, and across 23 home games this season, they kept 11 clean sheets, more than any other team. Despite having 6 injured players, Josh Coburn (9 goals) has recovered and is ready to score alongside Femi Azeez (11 goals) and Kamel Neglei (5 goals).
The "Tigers" have hopes of returning to the Premier League for the first time since relegation in 2017, after beating Norwich City 2-1 on the final day and narrowly overtaking Wrexham to 7th place. Although they secured the last playoff spot, they have successfully gained promotion twice before through playoffs (in 2007-08 and 2015-16). However, in their last 13 games, they have won only 3 and have not won any of their last 5 away matches. Despite this, they won their last two away games against Millwall. Led by top scorer Ollie McBurnie with 17 goals, Hull faces a strong Millwall side at home and is likely to lose.
Opinion : Millwall edges past Hull to reach the playoff final.
