Paris St-Germain v Marseille

Title-chasing Paris St-Germain have racked up the goals in Ligue 1 since returning from the international break, thrashing Lorient 5-1 and Clermont 6-1 in their last two games, but they could face more resistance against Marseille in Le Classique.

PSG's formidable home record in the league this term – 14 wins and one draw from 15 games – coupled with the fact that Marseille had to travel more than 2,000 km to Thessaloniki on Thursday means the Ligue 1 leaders are around 4-11 to take maximum points.

But Marseille should return from Greece in great spirits having booked their spot in the Europa Conference League semi-finals, extending their winning run to eight matches in all competitions.

It is only a matter of time before PSG are confirmed as champions but they have not been without their faults, losing to Nice, Real Madrid and Monaco since the start of March, and Marseille can at least avoid defeat in the capital.

Sevilla v Real Madrid

At the turn of the year, Sevilla were Real Madrid's closest competitors for the title in La Liga but they are now 12 points adrift of Los Blancos going into their meeting at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday.

The Andalusians should still secure Champions League football and enjoyed a decent 4-2 win over Granada last time out but they have generally found goals hard to come by.

Sevilla have fired blanks in four of their last seven matches although their defence is reliable, well marshalled by the much-admired pairing of Jules Kounde and Diego Carlos.

With that in mind, they may focus on keeping things tight against leaders Real, who could shuffle their pack after Tuesday's pulsating extra-time win over Chelsea. Backing under 2.5 goals looks the way to go.

Bayer Leverkusen v Leipzig

Bayer Leverkusen were held to a 0-0 draw by Bochum last Sunday and could again struggle against resurgent Leipzig.

As well as guiding Leipzig to the semi-finals of the Europa League and the German Cup, manager Domenico Tedesco, who arrived in December, has his side in contention for a top-four berth in the Bundesliga.

They have seen off Borussia Dortmund, Hoffenheim and Atalanta since the start of April and look a value bet to win again at the BayArena.
