As a majority of the European league seasons are coming to an end, it has reached time for the conclusion of each of their domestic cups to take place.
This weekend hosts three finals from across Europe with the FA Cup, DFB Pokal and Coupe de France finals all happening.
These finals are sure to provide plenty of drama as each side battles it out to become the victors, and we’ve picked out our top tips and booking codes below:
Manchester City vs Manchester United
A replay of last year’s all-Manchester FA Cup Final takes place on Sunday, pitting the English Premier League champions up against eighth-placed Manchester United.
Man City won 2-1 last season in a much tighter game than they would have anticipated, but this year the gap between the two sides has grown massively. A 31-point difference between the two side’s eventual finishes in the league shows Man City’s massive superiority coming into this game, and with Pep Guardiola’s side not losing in domestic competition since December it’s hard not to back the blue side of Manchester to win this one.

FC Kaiserslautern vs Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen’s phenomenal unbeaten run came to an end in the first of two finals they are set to play in, being decimated 3-0 by Atalanta with a hat-trick from Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman in the UEFA Europa League Final.
They will come into this one as much bigger favourites than the Europa League final though, coming up against second-division side Kaiserslautern, who have made their first German Cup Final in 21 years.
While the underdogs will be looking to defeat Leverkusen in a David vs Goliath story, Leverkusen hosts plenty more quality throughout their ranks, and we believe the Bundesliga champions will win this one.

Olympique Lyonnais vs Paris Saint-Germain
PSG are set to face Olympique Lyonnais in their final game of the French football season, pitting them up against a side who have been one of the best in the second half of the season after a disastrous start to the campaign.
After matchday 19 Lyon remained in the relegation zone, where they had spent all but two matchdays since the beginning of the season, but an incredible turn in form saw them fly up the table and secure European football on the final day thanks to a 96th minute winner from Alexandre Lacazette.
As for PSG, they finally put an end to a run of four matches without victory, including two defeats to Borussia Dortmund as they crashed out of the UEFA Champions League, when they beat Nice 2-1, following that up with a 2-0 win on the last day against Metz.
While PSG will still be the favourites, star players Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe, who is leaving the club in the summer, are set to miss out through injuries, leaving the Ligue 1 champions significantly weakened.
Lyon lost both meetings between these two sides 4-1 during the league season, but we believe their momentum will help take them over the line against a PSG side that have faltered in recent weeks.
