“ That 2-0 first-leg score seemed harsh on Torquay. However, I saw enough in that first match to suggest this tie is far from done and dusted. ”

Key Stat: Chelsea have scored two goals or more in four of their last six fixtures
Expert Verdict: Chelsea have battled their way through to the Champions League final against all the odds and look decent value to lift the trophy. The Blues have rediscovered a winning mentality under Roberto Di Matteo and can take advantage of an overrated Bayern Munich team who were outclassed by Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup final.
Recommendation: Chelsea

Key Stat: Cheltenham have lost six of their last seven away matches
Expert Verdict: With no wins in their last six games Torquay look too short to make inroads into Cheltenham's 2-0 first-leg lead. The out-of-form Gulls may be unable to manage any better than a draw in what looks likely to be a tightly contested clash.
Recommendation: Draw

Key Stat: Blackpool have failed to score in only one of their last 24 league games
Expert Verdict: West Ham have twice put four goals past Blackpool this season and have won seven of their last ten matches. However, Blackpool’s only defeat in 12 was at Reading so they also head to Wembley in sparkling form. Expect goals in this Championship play-off final and back the Tangerines at big odds.
Recommendation: Balckpool

Key Stat: Hearts did the treble over Hibs this season
Expert Verdict: Hearts haven’t lost any of the last ten games against their Edinburgh neighbours over the last three seasons and Paulo Sergio’s side, who were 19 points superior to Hibernian in the SPL, look decent value to win the Scottish Cup. Hibs lost 12 and drew the other three of their 15 SPL games against top-five sides.
Recommendation: Hearts

Key Stat: Luton have kept clean sheets in six of their last seven matches
Expert Verdict: Luton have played some of their most assured football of the season in recent weeks and can end a three-year exile from the Football League by beating York at Wembley. The Hatters have defeated champions Fleetwood and second-placed Wrexham over the past fortnight and look too strong for York, who have struggled for goals recently.
Recommendation: Luton

Key Stat: Juventus have kept seven clean sheets in their last ten fixtures
Expert Verdict: Napoli fell just short in the battle for Champions League qualification and they may suffer another major blow by losing to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final. Juve will be full of confidence after landing the Scuedetto and their defensive strength couldhelp them negate the threat of Napoli danger man Edinson Cavani.
Recommendation: Juventus
