Following the conclusion of the Skygate saga, Middlesbrough have replaced Southampton in the Championship playoff final, so they will face Hull this weekend at Wembley.

It will be a clash between two of the strongest attacking units in the division - Middlesbrough bagged 72 goals in their 46 regular-season matches, while Hull were not too far behind with 70 goals. Neither side are lacking firepower in the final third, and an entertaining encounter is expected this weekend. 

Hull managed to keep two clean sheets against Millwall during the semi-finals, which came as a surprise given that the Tigers conceded 66 goals during the regular season. They like to commit bodies forward into their attacks, which explains why they have managed to score so often, but that has sometimes left them exposed in defensive areas.

Playoff finals can sometimes be cagey, but that is not how Hull games usually play out. 

Bayern Munich have been crowned Bundesliga champions this season, and they will now be aiming to end their campaign by securing the league double. Stuttgart will be the side standing in their way, and they are the current DFB Pokal title holders. 

The two Bundesliga meetings between these sides this season have produced 11 goals - Bayern secured a 5-0 victory at the MHP Arena, before their 4-2 triumph in the reverse fixture. They cleared this line on their own in both matches. 

Bayern scored a record-breaking 116 goals in their 34 league matches this season, averaging 3.4 goals per game on their own, which shows just how strong they are going forward. Stuttgart ranked second in the Bundesliga for total goals scored, with 71.

Even though that is quite some distance behind, Stuttgart can also pose a threat going forward, which Bayern will have to be wary of.

Westerlo beat Antwerp by a 2-0 scoreline in both regular-season league meetings, but Antwerp got some retribution in the Conference League group a few weeks ago, as they won 4-2.

Westerlo currently sit four points behind Standard Liege, while Antwerp are nine points behind, so there isn’t much riding on this fixture for either side, and we are likely to get quite an open contest. 

Westerlo have seen a notable increase in goals since the Conference League group started, and over 2.5 goals has landed in six of their last eight matches. In fact, they have seen 29 goals in their nine matches - averaging 3.22 goals per game which is the highest in the group.

Antwerp’s average of 2.89 goals per game is not too far behind, making this a clash between two of the most entertaining sides to watch in the Belgian top flight. 

Real Betis haven’t got much to play for this weekend, as they are safely sitting in fifth spot - six points above Celta Vigo, but 12 points behind Atletico Madrid. Los Verdiblancos have released the handbrake in recent weeks, and their last four games have all produced at least three goals - they were beaten 3-1 by Barcelona last time out. 

By contrast, Levante are still not yet completely safe from relegation - they are just two points above Girona in the bottom two. The La Liga survival fight has gone right down to the wire, and Levante will be desperate for a positive result here just to be sure.

Their recent form has been encouraging, with three wins on the bounce, and Levante have scored eight goals on their own in that period. They have looked succinct in the final third at the perfect time, and will need to maintain that progressive approach here.
