The match against Juventus was a dull affair, often referred to as a 'San Siro snoozefest', which did not showcase the best of Italian football.

Lanus has won just a pair of their previous seven appearances across all competitions and have largely come crashing back down to earth since their brief March flurry.

San Jose Earthquakes rank second in MLS with a goal differential of +14, showcasing their offensive strength with 185 crosses attempted, ranking third in the league.

Fulham has not won in their last three games in all competitions, drawing against Nottingham Forest and losing to Southampton and West Ham, failing to score in any of those matches.

Union Berlin has been on a rollercoaster ride since mid-January, with a mix of draws, heavy defeats, and a crucial win against Bayer 04 Leverkusen. They have picked up 19 points against top-half teams, showcasing their ability to compete with stronger sides.

Starting with the hosts, last seen on Friday night putting in another sensational performance as they stormed their way to a thumping 4-1 victory at home against Drogheda, St. Patrick's will be dreaming of a repeat performance here. Despite spending the majority of last season sat in Premier Division limbo, Stephen Kenny's men have made a string of improvements this time around and have come flying out of the traps since opening up the 2026 campaign.

Al Nassr, meanwhile, currently head a thrilling three-way title battle, holding a two-point advantage over Al-Ahli and a three-point gap over Al-Hilal. The Knights of Najd have been in sensational form, winning 13 consecutive matches across all competitions while conceding just once in their last 11 games.
