These sides have met five times this season, with Aberdeen managing to score in three of those games, including the most recent meeting between the sides in the Premiership Championship Group, which saw Celtic run out 5-1 winners.

Despite Celtic dominance, Aberdeen still managed to register an xG of 1.09 whilst only having 31% possession. They’ve posted an xG of 0.85 or higher in each of their five meetings with Celtic this season, which indicates that they can create chances against the obvious favourites in this final.

Sunderland face off against Sheffield United at Wembley in the Championship Play-Off Final, having beaten Coventry 3-2 over two legs. Regis Le Bris’ side had a poor end to the regular season, having long secured their place in the play-offs, but have shown impressive resolve in the recent games against Coventry to suggest that they can break down the Sheffield United backline.

Sunderland scored two goals against Sheffield United in the most recent head-to-head meeting between the sides at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland generated an xG of 0.96 despite only having 34% of the ball on that occasion, which indicates that the Black Cats can create chances even if they don’t dominate the ball. This was evident in both of their games against Coventry as they deliberately ceded possession against the Sky Blues. 

Sunderland didn’t score in the first league meeting between the sides but had a penalty saved and 16 shots in the game, culminating in an xG of 1.78 with both sides reduced to 10 men before half time. Sheffield United weren’t really tested in their semi-final games against Bristol City and will face more of an attacking threat from Regis Le Bris’ team, likely to be during moments of transition. Eliezer Mayenda's dribbling ability in the Black Cats frontline could be a key component in this final.

Genoa have proven effective disruptors at the end of the season despite not having much material left to play for. They’ve scored 2+ goals in each of their last two games, which were against Atalanta and title-chasing Napoli, they notably managed to hold Antonio Conte’s side to a 2-2 draw. 

On the other hand, Bologna have plenty to play for with a spot in the Conference League up for grabs, a competition they will feel they are at a level to win, if they can better Lazio’s result on the final gameweek and correct the goal difference where they are just one goal behind. 

Genoa scored two goals against Bologna in the initial league meeting between these sides earlier in the season. Their recent strong goalscoring record against some of the league's best sides indicates that they still are full of life despite settling in mid table at the end of the Serie A season.

Celta Vigo have had a decent season but face a battle to keep their European spot on the final day of the La Liga season. Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna are both on 51 points, just one point behind Celta Vigo, which shows how tight the race is for a spot in the Europa League next season; one of these sides will miss out on Europe altogether. 

Getafe have only won four of their 18 home games in La Liga this season; only Las Palmas and Real Valladolid have amassed fewer points at home in the Spanish top-flight than Jose Bordalas’ side. Getafe have attempted to rely on their defensive resilience, but this has been undone by a complete lack of an attacking threat, which has left them with this poor home record. 

Celta Vigo managed to break the Getafe resolve in the initial meeting between the sides with a 1-0 win. They registered an xG of 1.95 in the game and come into this season defining game having scored in each of their last five league outings.
