Join Karl\u2019s European Pick 8 Syndicate<\/a><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This weekend we have plenty of European football on display, and Karl Matchett has previewed his European Pick 8 Syndicate for us, which you can get involved in here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leganes v Sevilla<\/a><\/p>\n

Sevilla have to keep fighting for points if they want Champions League football next season, but a win will be hardfought against Leganes who have been surprisingly impressive all year.<\/p>\n

With not much to play for now though, their form has become erratic and Sevilla<\/a> might just take advantage.<\/p>\n

\n

Prediction: Draw or Away Win<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sampdoria v Inter Milan<\/a><\/p>\n

Sampdoria\u2019s home form is exceptional, but Inter are finding form again at the right timen for a strong run-in.<\/p>\n

This should be a game where both fight for the three points<\/a> until the last whistle and it could feasibly be won by either side late on.<\/p>\n

\n

Prediction: Home Win or Away Win<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Derby v Cardiff<\/a><\/p>\n

While Cardiff surge on toward automatic promotion, Derby\u2019s play-off chances are in real danger as their form falls off a cliff.<\/p>\n

\n

Prediction: Away Win<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Torino v Fiorentina<\/a><\/p>\n

A mid-table battle where both teams are playing for very little now, with European<\/a> hopes largely extinguished.<\/p>\n

La Viola might just be favourites, but Torino\u2019s home form has been great aside from the Turin derby\u2014they\u2019re capable of sneaking a win too.<\/p>\n

\n

Prediction: Home Win,\u00a0Draw or Away Win<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"European<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Benevento v Cagliari<\/a><\/p>\n

A remarkable upsurge in home form for Serie A\u2019s bottom club<\/a> could continue here; it\u2019s too late to save them from the drop but three wins from the last four at home point to a tough afternoon for Cagliari.<\/p>\n

\n

Prediction: Home Win<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leicester v Chelsea<\/a><\/p>\n

Out of Europe and with four defeats in the last six costing them a top-four spot in the Premier League<\/a>, Chelsea\u2019s campaign is in danger of imploding\u2014at Leicester can compound that misery this weekend in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

The Foxes have the pace to hurt Chelsea<\/a> and their home form is generally very strong, so a surprise win is on the cards.<\/p>\n

\n

Prediction: Home Win<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Villarreal v Atletico Madrid<\/a><\/p>\n

Atleti are clearly intent on keeping the title race going as long as possible in La Liga<\/a> and they\u2019ve every chance of a big result at Villarreal who have been strangely inconsistent at home this term. Few goals in this one but the balance tipped in Atleti\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n

\n

Prediction: Draw or Away Win<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marseille v Lyon<\/a><\/p>\n

A huge game in Ligue 1 in terms of the Champions League; Marseille know they\u2019ll all but end Lyon\u2019s challenge for third place if they pick up a home win on Sunday night and that should be all the motivation they require to take the points<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Prediction: Home Win<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
