Today's football tips for 13 May 2026: analysis of 3 matches worth following, featuring 5 teams chasing championships and today's match schedule.
On 13 May 2026, today's football tips focus sharply on 3 competitions featuring 5 teams still in contention for titles across the English Premier League, French Ligue 1, and the Coppa Italia final. Here is the football analysis along with expert views on 3 interesting matches as follows.
- English Premier League / Kick-off at 02:00 GMT+7
The "Sky Blues" ended a 6-match winning streak in all competitions with a 3-3 draw against Everton. Although they bounced back with a 3-0 win over Brentford, they remain 5 points behind Arsenal. However, a win in this postponed match would reduce the gap to 2 points. Manchester City have not lost to Palace in 8 consecutive Premier League matches (5 wins, 3 draws) and remain unbeaten in their last 16 home games (13 wins, 3 draws). Rodri and Abdoulaye Kouyaté are still injured, but Jérémy Doku, who scored 4 goals in the last 2 games, is ready to partner with Erling Haaland in attack.
Crystal Palace are aiming for their first European cup after defeating Shakhtar Donetsk to reach the UEFA Conference League final (5-2 aggregate). Recently, they drew 2-2 twice against Everton. Interestingly, in their last 7 away games at Manchester City, they scored at least 2 goals in 6 matches (2 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses). However, with their league position safe from relegation and no other stakes, Oliver Glasner may rest key players such as Daniel Muñoz and Jean-Philippe Mateta, possibly handing the advantage to Manchester City.
Expert opinion : Manchester City to narrowly defeat Crystal Palace.
- Coppa Italia Final / Kick-off at 02:00 GMT+7
The "Sky Blues" (Lazio) seek revenge against the "Nerazzurri" (Inter) after a 0-3 home loss last Saturday that included a red card. Prior to that, Lazio had a good run, losing only once in 10 games. With European qualification out of reach in the league, Lazio are focused on this cup final. Recently, Lazio have struggled against Inter, failing to win in their last 9 encounters (7 losses, 2 draws). Captain Mattia Zaccagni returns from injury to support the attack alongside Tijan Noslin and Gustaf Isacsen, while Alessio Romagnoli is suspended only for league matches.
Inter Milan are chasing their first double in 16 years since José Mourinho's era when they won 3 trophies. Having already secured the Serie A title, Inter are in great form, unbeaten in 9 matches (6 wins, 3 draws) and scoring at least 2 goals in their last 7 games. They have beaten Lazio 3 times in Rome recently with an aggregate score of 11-0. Injured Hakan Çalhanoğlu is the only absentee; otherwise, Nicolò Barella, Federico Dimarco, Marcus Thuram, and Lautaro Martínez are ready to reinforce the attack to secure another win over Lazio.
Expert opinion : Inter Milan to outplay Lazio and claim the title.
- French Ligue 1 / Kick-off at 02:00 GMT+7
Paris Saint-Germain (73 points) need just 1 point from their remaining 2 matches to secure their 14th Ligue 1 title and fifth consecutive championship, also reaching the UCL final. PSG are in good form, unbeaten in their last 6 matches across all competitions (4 wins, 2 draws). They have won 6 and drawn 1 of their last 7 matches against Lens (including a penalty shootout win in the French Cup). Last season, they won 2-1 away. This match sees 4 injured players: Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, and Warren Zaire-Emery, but attackers Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia are ready to play.
Lens (67 points) must win this match to keep their title hopes alive, relying on goal difference (+29 compared to PSG's +44). However, Lens have earned 42 points at home (14 wins, 2 losses) — more than any other team this season — and have scored in every home match since losing 0-1 to Lyon in the opener. The problem is that key forwards Allan Saint-Maximin and Florian Thauvin, as well as defender Jonathan Gradit, have injury issues. It seems unlikely they can hold off PSG.
Expert opinion : Paris Saint-Germain to remain unbeaten and clinch the championship.
