Fürth
Currently, Fürth occupies 14th place in the table with 36 points. The team has scored 42 goals but conceded 57 goals, which means a negative goal difference of -15 and underlines weaknesses in defense. In the last five games, they have not won, instead drawing twice and losing three times. The defense appears very vulnerable, often allowing opponents a lot of space on the wings and in the center. The offense is not very dangerous, playing slowly and without impact. Fürth seems to have mentally already written off the season and shows little motivation, although they appear somewhat more secure at home.

Hamburg
Hamburg is in 1st place with 59 points and boasts the best offense in the league with 76 goals scored. The defense is not perfect, having conceded 41 goals, but the positive goal difference of +35 reflects their dominant style of play. The last five matches yielded two wins, one draw, and two losses – not top form, but clearly superior compared to Fürth. Hamburg plays offensively fast and vertical, making strong use of the wings and applying high intensity pressure on opponents. However, there are defensive weaknesses, especially due to the absence of captain Schonlau, who is missing because of a yellow card suspension. This gap in central defense could cause problems.

Injuries
Fürth must do without Banse, Sacha (knee), Koerber, N. (muscle), and Calhanoglu, Kerim (knee). Although these absences are unpleasant, they are not decisive in a team that is already weak. Hamburg is missing a central leadership player in defense as captain Schonlau is suspended due to yellow cards; additionally, Katterbach, Noah (cruciate ligament injury), and Soumahoro, Aboubaka are sidelined due to injuries. The captain's absence particularly weighs heavily and significantly weakens defensive stability.

Head-to-Head
In recent years, Hamburg has clearly dominated direct encounters with Fürth. In the first meeting of this season they won 5-0; other matches mostly ended in victories for Hamburg (2-0, 2-1). A draw (1-1) and a rare win for Fürth (1-0) are exceptions. Hamburg thus has a psychological advantage and knows exactly how to exploit Fürth's weaknesses.

Match Prediction
The situation is clear: Hamburg goes into this game highly motivated, fighting for promotion and will play to win from the start. Fürth, on the other hand, appears without ideas, extremely vulnerable defensively, and rarely shows offensive drive. Despite the absence of Hamburg captain Schonlau, it is expected that Hamburg will continue to press offensively to compensate defensive uncertainty with goals. The encounter promises many goals and action, so a dominant performance from Hamburg is to be expected. A win for Fürth is unlikely, the risk of a clear home defeat is high. The best choice is the bet "Double Chance Hamburg" with odds of 1.40, as Hamburg will at least secure a point and the chance to win is predominant.

My tip: Double Chance Hamburg (1.40)

Darmstadt 98
Darmstadt 98 currently occupies 12th place in the table and is known for its open style of play. With 53 goals scored and 54 conceded in 33 games, the team shows an almost balanced goal record, although with a negative goal difference (-1). Darmstadt's games tend to be high-scoring, averaging 3.24 goals per match, with over 2.5 total goals in 64% of cases. Additionally, both teams have scored in nearly 67% of the matches. The home side usually presents itself confidently at home and tries to control the game, although there are occasional defensive weaknesses.

Regensburg
Regensburg sits at the bottom of the table (18th) and shows a very poor season record with only 22 goals scored and 68 conceded. Their offensive thrust is extremely limited, averaging less than one goal per match, and defensively there are significant weaknesses. The attack often relies on the center and lacks variety and precision, while many mistakes occur in defense. Despite some surprising recent results, Regensburg remains a very weak opponent who struggles to impress away from home.

Injuries
Darmstadt has to do without Maglica, Mueller, and Vukotic due to yellow card suspensions. Additionally, Holland, Zimmermann, Bader, and Will are out injured, all suffering from cruciate ligament or knee injuries. Regensburg also has several absences: Geipl, Proeger, Breunig, and Bittroff are unavailable. Despite the personnel problems especially in Darmstadt's defense, Regensburg is offensively too weak to exploit this.

Head-to-Head
In the last five direct encounters, Darmstadt 98 and Regensburg have alternated wins, often in high-scoring games, especially in Darmstadt's home stadium (2:0, 4:2). The last meeting ended with a win for Regensburg, which should further motivate Darmstadt to gain the upper hand this time.

Match Prediction
Given Darmstadt 98’s clearly better season performance, home advantage, and strong offensive potential, combined with Regensburg’s poor form and defensive problems, a home win for Darmstadt is very likely. Although Darmstadt suffers from some absences, the team’s quality is sufficient to dominate Regensburg. Moreover, a relatively high-scoring match is expected, with the visitors barely able to respond effectively. The recommendation is therefore to bet on a Darmstadt 98 win.

My tip: Win Darmstadt 98 (1.38)

Everton
Everton currently occupy 13th place with 42 points from 36 games. Their goal difference is slightly negative with 39 goals scored and 44 conceded. Offensively, they score an average of 1.08 goals per game, while defensively they concede 1.22. Their form is inconsistent: in the last five games they have recorded two wins, one draw, and two losses, showing some instability. At home, Everton traditionally shows a stronger performance, stamping their mark on the game, especially against weaker opponents like Southampton. However, they often lack creativity in attack and their offense sometimes appears clueless against deep-lying defenses.

Southampton
Southampton are at the bottom of the table in 20th place with only 12 points after 36 games. Their record of 25 goals scored and 82 conceded is alarming. Their form in the last five matches is poor, with two draws and three losses. The defense is particularly vulnerable; there is a lack of organization and discipline, while the attack rarely poses a threat. Away from home, the team presents a lost and discouraged image, exacerbating ongoing problems. Competitiveness is barely present, which is also reflected in the absence of their key goalkeeper.

Injuries
Everton are missing Jesper Lindstrøm (groin injury), Orel Mangala (knee injury), and key defender James Tarkowski (thigh tendon injury), weakening their defense. Southampton must do without backup goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, which adds to their already fragile defense.

Head-to-Head
The last five Premier League clashes show a mixed picture with victories for both teams; most recently, Southampton won 1-0 against Everton on November 2, 2024. However, these results do not reflect Everton’s current dominance, as Southampton has significantly declined in performance since then.

Match Prediction
Given the clear differences in form, squad quality, and motivation, everything points toward a home win with a certain number of goals. Nevertheless, Everton is expected not to concede too many goals and to provide few opportunities for Southampton. Defensive issues on both sides suggest some goals, but the limit of 3.5 goals is unlikely to be exceeded. Therefore, the bet on “Under 3.5 goals” at odds of 1.40 appears optimal and very sensible.

My Tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.40)

Barcelona
Barcelona stands confidently at the top of the table with 82 points from 35 games. The team boasts an impressive record of 95 goals scored and 36 conceded, resulting in a +59 goal difference. On average, Barcelona scores 2.71 goals per game and is currently in top form with five consecutive wins. Tactically, Barcelona favors a 4-3-3 system with strong ball possession and intense wing play. The defense has improved despite occasional transitions, especially strong at home in the Camp Nou.

Villarreal
Villarreal currently occupies 5th place with 64 points from 36 games, with 18 wins, 10 draws, and 8 losses. They have scored 64 goals and conceded 47, averaging 1.78 goals scored and 1.31 conceded per game. The team shows strong form with four wins out of the last five matches. Tactically variable between 4-4-2 and 4-3-3, Villarreal relies on intense pressing and quick attacks but occasionally reveals defensive weaknesses against strong wing attacks.

Injuries
Barcelona will be missing Ferran Torres (appendicitis), Jules Koundé (thigh injury until May 21) – an important defender – and Marc Bernal (ACL tear until the end of June). Villarreal must do without Ilias Akhomach (ACL tear until August). The absence of Koundé could particularly make Barcelona’s defense more vulnerable, giving Villarreal hope for scoring goals.

Head-to-Head
The recent encounters between Barcelona and Villarreal were extremely high scoring and exciting: 5-1, 5-3, 4-3 from recent matches show an offensive openness of both teams. Only two of the last five matches stayed under 3.5 goals, making a goal festival likely.

Match Prediction
Considering the strong offensive performances of both teams, the defensive weaknesses due to absences, and the high-scoring direct duels, we expect an exciting game with many goals. Barcelona is the home favorite and wants to celebrate with another win, while Villarreal, as a team in strong form with lots of offensive potential, is hunting points. Betting odds reflect a clear favorite role for Barcelona (Barcelona win at 1.88). Due to current form and home advantage, a bet on a Barcelona victory is highly recommended.

My Tip: Barcelona win (1.88)

Sevilla
Sevilla currently occupies 13th place in the table with 41 points from 36 matches. The record of 40 goals scored to 49 conceded clearly shows difficulties in both offense and defense. The last five games have been sobering, with only one win, two losses, and two draws. The team often appears without a clear plan and frequently loses the ball in midfield, which favors quick counterattacks by the opponent. The defense appears insecure with large gaps, and the offense often acts chaotically with many long, easily intercepted passes. At home, Sevilla does not show convincing performances, but against a weakened defense of the opponent, they could create chances.

Real Madrid
Real Madrid is in 2nd place with 78 points from 36 games and boasts one of the best records in the league with 74 goals scored and 38 conceded. The recent form shows four wins and only one loss in the last five matches. Despite injury-related absences, especially in defense, the attacking strength remains high. The team shows tactical flexibility and can both dominate possession and quickly switch from a deeper position. However, the defensive weaknesses, caused by the absence of key players like Alaba, Rüdiger, or Militão, lead to a certain vulnerability in the back line.

Injuries
Sevilla has to do without Ruben Vargas, Akor Adams, and Tanguy Nianzou, which, however, is not decisive for the overall picture. Real Madrid faces a more difficult situation with several absences of key defenders (Alaba, Rüdiger, Militão) as well as offensive mainstays like Vinicius Junior. These many injuries significantly weaken the defense and reduce the firepower in attack.

Head-to-head
In the last five encounters, Real Madrid has mostly had the upper hand, including wins of 4-2, 1-0, and 3-1. However, there was also a 1-1 draw and a narrow 2-1 win for Real. Three of the last five games were high-scoring (over 2.5 goals), and three matches also ended with goals from both sides. This shows that despite the below-average form, especially at home, Sevilla is always capable of scoring even against Real.

Game prediction
Real Madrid is the clear favorite, but the numerous injuries in defense noticeably weaken the team. This opens chances for Sevilla, especially on set pieces or quick counterattacks. Real’s offense remains strong enough to score regularly, while Sevilla can also find the net at home. The statistical figures and the current situation of the teams suggest a match in which both teams will score at least once.

My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.60)

AS Roma
AS Roma is currently in 6th place with 63 points from 36 matches. The team has recently shown stable results, although not always convincing in playing style. Roma is traditionally strong at home, scoring the majority of their points there. Tactically, the team varies between a back three and a classic 4-3-3 to control the midfield and launch quick attacks. It becomes more difficult against teams with well-organized defensive blocks, as the final decisive pass is often missing. Without the injured key players in attack, there is a lack of creativity and penetration. Nevertheless, Roma is always offensively dangerous in front of their home crowd and looks for gaps in the opponent's defense.

AC Milan
AC Milan stands 8th with 60 points. The offensive performance is solid with 58 goals scored, but the defense reveals weaknesses which often lead to conceding goals. The last five league matches brought four wins and only one defeat, indicating good form. Milan mostly plays in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system with active use of the wings and offensive fullbacks. In transition play, the team shows dynamism, but the defense sometimes appears disorganized and vulnerable against fast counters. Away, stability is sometimes lacking, but they are always capable of scoring goals.

Injuries
AS Roma has to do without important players: Pierluigi Gollini (shoulder injury), captain Lorenzo Pellegrini (strain), and Paulo Dybala (tendon rupture) are out for a long time. Especially the absence of playmaker Pellegrini and creative star Dybala significantly weakens the offense. AC Milan has less severe absences: Riccardo Sottil and Warren Bondo are out but are not crucial to the starting eleven.

Head-to-head encounters
The recent meetings between AS Roma and AC Milan have been balanced and sometimes high-scoring. Results ranged from clear wins (e.g. 5-2 for Roma, 3-1 for Milan) to close games and draws. Statistically, both teams tend to score goals, with matches rarely being boring and always offering chances for many goals.

Match forecast
Due to current form, the offensive strengths of both teams, and especially Milan’s defensive weaknesses, a high-scoring match is expected. Roma will do everything at home to act creatively and pose a goal threat despite injury worries. Milan, in very good form upfront, has defensive flaws that Roma can exploit. Thus, it is very likely that both teams will score at least one goal. Bookmaker odds confirm this assessment and suggest a game with goals on both sides.

My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.50)
