"Brentford bring a rugged, pressing approach under Thomas Frank, and that tenacity often sees them rack up the foul count - especially away from home. The Bees average 9.0 fouls per away game in the league and they have hit 9+ fouls in nine of their last 13 on the road.

They face an Arsenal side that not only dominates possession but also invite pressure and provoke fouls through their ball control and technical quality in tight spaces. The Gunners have drawn nine or more fouls from 11 of their 15 visitors to the Emirates in the league this season, suggesting Brentford will likely exceed this line once more in what could be a frustrating afternoon off the ball."

"Bayern Munich may have stumbled recently, but their overall home form remains commanding. Prior to two uncharacteristic setbacks in their last three at the Allianz, the Bavarians had gone 20 games at home with just one defeat (W17, D2, L1). With Leverkusen breathing down their necks - six points back heading into the weekend - every result from here is decisive.

Their opponents, meanwhile, are a far cry from the Dortmund of old. A 4–0 drubbing at the hands of Barcelona in midweek was merely the latest instalment in a series of underwhelming performances, particularly away from home. In all competitions, they’ve lost 12 of their last 20 road games and are enduring their worst league campaign since 2007/08 (when they finished 13th).

In the Bundesliga, they’ve won just four of 14 away matches (D2, L8) - a form line more befitting a mid table outfit than a European hopeful.

While Dortmund will seek inspiration from last season’s visit to Munich - where they snatched a surprise win - it bears repeating: Bayern had won seven straight at home prior to that anomaly and were unbeaten in 11 Der Klassikers clashes going into that match."

A 4-0 midweek drubbing over Dortmund marked Barcelona’s 23rd unbeaten game in 2025 (W19, D4), underlining their frightening consistency and fuelling belief in an unprecedented quadruple. With the Spanish Super Cup already secured, a Copa del Rey final ahead, a Champions League semi-final within reach, and a four-point lead in La Liga, the Catalans are peaking precisely when it matters most.

Their attacking output has been nothing short of elite - 145 goals in 48 matches this season, and averaging 2.77 per game in the league is the 3rd-best across Europe’s top five divisions. Crucially, their form away from home is as commanding as ever. Barcelona is unbeaten in 15 straight away matches in all competitions (W12, D3), winning each of their last seven, and remarkably, have lost fewer league games on the road (two) than at home.

The trip to Butarque should pose little resistance. Leganés are embedded in the relegation fight with just six league wins all season. A 1-1 draw against Osasuna on Monday extended their winless run to four (losing three), and they've taken just two wins from their last 11 in all competitions (D3, L6). Only one side has a worse attacking record, and their home form is just as concerning: two wins from 10 (D2, L6) at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
