The finals of the Swiss and Czech ice hockey championships start this weekend, while the best teams in European football chase the main prize in matches taking place over the weekend. The best odds and betting markets are available at bet365 Sport, Stake, 1xbet and 22bet, alongside attractive betting options on esports.
Mid-April will be a deciding point for many football and ice hockey teams in Europe, who will have played their final games for the trophy. In major European football leagues, the top two teams are locking horns in games that could well decide the winner of the championship. Esports fans have their sights locked on a red-hot League of Legends team trying to extend its winning streak. You can bet on all these highly anticipated matches at bet365 Sport, Stake, 1xbet and 22bet, both pregame and live.
Manchester City has staged an incredible comeback and is now trailing Arsenal by just six points, with a game in hand. Victory over the Gunners on Sunday would bring them within striking distance, with possibly a slightly better goal average. Arsenal are known chokers, and they have a couple of key players unavailable for this fixture, so we like Manchester City to win at odds of 1.85 at bet365 Sport.
PSG is well-positioned to play and possibly win another Champions League final, and is also leading Ligue 1. They can't afford to fail at home against Lyon, as they only have 4 points over Lens and a busy schedule ahead. Lyon are in awful form, having won just 1 of their last 10 games, and are in danger of finishing outside the Champions League spots. The odds on PSG to win by two goals or more are 1.80 with 1xbet.
Napoli have only theoretical chances of winning the Serie A, as they trail Inter Milan, but they will keep trying. The first step is to defeat Lazio at home, a place where they are invincible this season. The visitors are outside the Champions League places and struggle to win back-to-back games regardless of opponents. That's why we trust Napoli to confirm the odds of 1.60 at 22bet.
Benfica and Sporting play the Derby of Lisbon in a final push for an elusive trophy. A draw wouldn't help either team, since Porto leads the table by 5 points, while Benfica desperately needs a win to secure a Champions League Qualifier. They are the only team in the Portuguese top flight to lose a match this season, but we think they will crumble under pressure and lose, at odds of 2.10 at Stake.
Pardubice cruised through the playoffs to confirm its first seed status and takes on Trinec in the final. The fifth seed plays on the road after dropping just two games throughout the entire postseason, but has a poor head-to-head record against Saturday's opponents. This is likely to be a high-scoring game, probably decided by the odd goal, but odds of 1.80 on Pardubice at 22bet are too good to ignore.
Davos and Fribourg lock horns in the Swiss NHL final, hardly a surprise, since these were the top 2 seeds at the start of the postseason. Fribourg turned the ship around after a shaky start, but faces its nemesis on the road in the opening match of the series. Davos has been impeccable throughout the playoffs, and we expect them to prevail at odds of 1.85 at Stake, possibly by two goals or more.
GIANTX is one of the hottest European League of Legends teams, riding a four-game winning streak in the LEC. This weekend, they have the chance to claim sole first place by defeating the other two teams currently on the podium. They are credited with the first chance and odds of 1.75 by 1xbet to win back-to-back games, and we fancy the accumulator at combined odds of 3.00.
Risk-averse punters should start with a bet on GIANTX to defeat the current leader, Vitality, on Saturday evening. Their rivals have miraculously rebounded from two wins seemingly lost games in April, but their luck will run out this weekend. On Sunday, GIANTX should double down with another victory over Natus Vincere, the team they have defeated in all the head-to-head games played so far.
