After some huge European midweek ties - including Arsenal knocking out Real Madrid in the Champions League, attention now returns to domestic competitions and here at FIRST, we’ve put together a tidy four-fold!

Leg 1 – Barcelona -1 on the handicap vs Celta Vigo @ 33/50 [Saturday 3:15pm]

Barcelona just booked their place in the Champions League semi-finals and they'll be full of confidence as they return to La Liga action.

Hansi Flick's side are four points clear of Real Madrid with seven games remaining - including an El Clasico - and Barcelona will be desperate to put on a dominant display against seventh-placed Celta Vigo.

We're on Barcelona -1 (to win by two or more goals) which has happened in five of their last seven wins.

Celta Vigo just lost 2-0 against Espanyol who are 15th in La Liga and while they're still fighting for a Europa League or Conference League spot, Barcelona will have too much quality here.

Barcelona have scored a league-high 89 goals and they also boast the best defence in La Liga. It should be a routine victory.

Leg 2 – Napoli -1 on the handicap vs Monza @ 18/25 [Saturday 5pm]

Second travels to bottom in Serie A on Saturday as Napoli and Monza face off.

Antonio Conte's side are three points behind leaders Inter Milan with six games remaining and Napoli want to keep the pressure on.

Napoli are unbeaten in their last six games and a win will leave them level on points with Inter.

Monza are bottom of Serie A and 11 points off safety. They’ve lost four of their last five with the Lombardy-based outfit winning just two of their 32 games.

Napoli -1 is the pick. Monza have conceded the second-most goals in Serie A and that trend should continue.

Leg 3 – Roma to beat Verona and under 3.5 goals @ 4/5 [Saturday 7:45pm]

Elsewhere in Serie A, Roma host Verona with Claudio Ranieri's side eyeing a European spot.

Roma, who are seventh and just five points off fourth, are in fine form and they're currently unbeaten in their last 16 league games.

Verona, meanwhile, are 14th in Serie A with little to play for after drawing their last three games.

Roma to win and under 3.5 goals is the play. The home side are unbeaten in their last 14 at the Stadio Olimpico (won 12, drawn two) and it should be comfortable against Verona.

Backing under 3.5 goals makes sense as the selection has been a winner in 10 of Roma's last 11 games. There have also been under 3.5 goals in Verona's last eight outings.

Leg 4 – Liverpool -1 on the handicap vs Leicester @ 57/100 [Sunday 4:30pm]

Liverpool are cruising to the Premier League title and they have the perfect chance to put on a show as they travel to Leicester.

The Reds have scored a league-high 74 goals in their 32 outings so far and Arne Slot's side could run riot.

Leicester have had an abysmal season and their relegation will be confirmed soon. They've won just four times all campaign and they've lost nine of their last 10.

Liverpool -1 is the shout as the Foxes have lost by two or more goals in their last eight consecutive home games. Expect Mohamed Salah and company to have a field day.
