Sevilla vs. Real Madrid
1 of 6
Alex Livie: Sevilla 1-2 Real Madrid
First goalscorer: Carlos Bacca
Sevilla are still in the hunt for fourth place, but Real will keep their title push on track with a win.
Karl Matchett: Sevilla 2-3 Real Madrid
First goalscorer: Cristiano Ronaldo
Sevilla are unbeaten at home all season and will make it tremendously hard for Real Madrid—but I'll back Real's superior strike power to win the day again when it matters most.
Sam Tighe: Sevilla 1-1 Real Madrid
First goalscorer: Carlos Bacca
Sevilla are the only unbeaten La Liga team at home this year, and I'm not about to go against the grain.
Will Tidey: Sevilla 1-3 Real Madrid
First goalscorer: Javier Hernandez
Madrid to continue their forceful form ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Juventus.
Michael Cummings: Sevilla 2-2 Real Madrid
First goalscorer: Cristiano Ronaldo
Real might need to win all of their remaining games if they're going to catch Barcelona, but this could be a tricky one for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
Sampdoria vs. Juventus
2 of 6
Alex Livie: Sampdoria 0-2 Juventus
First goalscorer: Carlos Tevez
Juventus suffered a shock defeat to neighbours Torino in their last away fixture, but there will be no repeat here.
Karl Matchett: Sampdoria 1-1 Juventus
First goalscorer: Carlos Tevez
Juve are cruising in end-of-season mode, and it's understandable if most of their focus is on Europe. A draw.
Sam Tighe: Sampdoria 1-2 Juventus
First goalscorer: Fernando Llorente
Sampdoria haven't won in five attempts, and Juventus, while cruising and resting ahead of the Champions League semi-finals, find another win.
Will Tidey: Sampdoria 0-1 Juventus
First goalscorer: Carlos Tevez
Juve to edge this one, with Tevez predictably the man on target.
Mike Cummings: Sampdoria 1-1 Juventus
First goalscorer: Andrea Pirlo
With the title race long finished, Juve are looking a little less than impressive lately. Not that Sampdoria have been in form either. Score draw.
Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich
3 of 6
Alex Livie: Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 Bayern Munich
First goalscorer: Stefan Kiessling
Bayern will suffer a title hangover by slipping to defeat at Leverkusen.
Karl Matchett: Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 Bayern Munich
First goalscorer: Stefan Kiessling
Same goes for Bayern as for Juve. League games are now there to give game time to those who need it and rest time for others. Leverkusen can take advantage.
Sam Tighe: Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 Bayern Munich
First goalscorer: Stefan Kiessling
Leverkusen have cooled off just at the wrong moment, and that gives banged-up Bayern a chance to steal a draw and continue their title march.
Will Tidey: Bayer Leverkusen 0-2 Bayern Munich
First goalscorer: Thomas Muller
Bayern will head into their clash with Barcelona with a routine win on the road.
Mike Cummings: Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Bayern Munich
First goalscorer: Thomas Muller
Like Juventus, Bayern don't have too much to play for in the league at this point of the season. Still, Pep Guardiola and company won't want to lose to Leverkusen.
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City
4 of 6
Alex Livie: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester City
First goalscorer: David Silva
The title may be slipping away from City, but they show their class with victory at White Hart Lane.
Karl Matchett: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester City
First goalscorer: Sergio Aguero
This game really could go either way, but City will keep themselves in second with the win.
Sam Tighe: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester City
First goalscorer: Sergio Aguero
Very few players on the pitch have anything to play for, but Aguero wants that golden boot.
Will Tidey: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Manchester City
First goalscorer: Harry Kane
Man City's season badly needs a strong finish, but I'm predicting a Spurs win in this one. It's about time Harry Kane got his Harrikane on again.
Mike Cummings: Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 Manchester City
First goalscorer: Sergio Aguero
Which side is less thrilled to be where they are in the table? And which side has more motivation to win? It could go either way.
Napoli vs. AC Milan
5 of 6
Alex Livie: Napoli 0-1 AC Milan
First goalscorer: Jeremy Menez
It's been a poor season for AC Milan, and there is internal strife, but they can show some green shoots of recovery with a win in Naples.
Karl Matchett: Napoli 3-0 AC Milan
First goalscorer: Gonzalo Higuain
Napoli's late charge to retake third place in Serie A means a win here is a must.
Sam Tighe: Napoli 2-0 AC Milan
First goalscorer: Gonzalo Higuain
Milan look absolutely shocking, whereas Napoli—despite a blip vs. Empoli—are a reasonably safe bet.
Will Tidey: Napoli 2-0 AC Milan
First goalscorer: Gonzalo Higuain
Napoli are in good form and will dispatch Milan in this one.
Mike Cummings: Napoli 2-0 AC Milan
First goalscorer: Gonzalo Higuain
Milan are a mess, and Napoli should be able to take full advantage.
