The last matchday of the Premier League season\u00a0has little on the line, as most\u00a0of the\u00a0teams have settled their positions on the board. However, there are some emotions left at the top of the table.\u00a0Apart from the title fight, we refer to the duels involving the teams from 5th to 8th place, as the\u00a0spots for the\u00a0Europa League and Conference League are at stake.\u00a0Currently, things are as follows:

5th. Tottenham, 63 pts

6th. Chelsea, 60 pts

7th. Newcastle, 57 pts

8th. Manchester United, 57 pts

Chelsea is looking to overtake Tottenham. Even if it\u00a0looks\u00a0almost impossible due to the Spurs facing the worst team in the league, they must beat a tricky Bournemouth.

Why Bet on Chelsea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Chelsea hosting their last match of the Premier League season, <\/a>there is a chance that they will be able to get away with their share of the plan.\u00a0However, they also need Sheffield United to do the performance of their season and stop Tottenham from getting even a draw.<\/strong>

We have to point out the\u00a0great\u00a0momentum of the\u00a0Blues,\u00a0following four straight wins.\u00a0<\/strong>Mauricio Pochettino\u00a0and his players are finally hitting form after a largely frustrating campaign, and that\u00a0late burst has seen them move up the table in the hunt for European qualification.

A Spurs defeat at Sheffield United is needed if Chelsea are to finish fifth and reach the Europa League, but\u00a0sixth\u00a0in the\u00a0Premier League\u00a0will be secured\u00a0if the Blues can pick up at least a point at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.\u00a0

In case Manchester United lose the FA Cup final, they would get their Europa League ticket either way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Bournemouth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bournemouth, the 11th-placed team on the scoreboards, will be the judge for Chelsea’s last presentation. They have had an excellent campaign compared to the\u00a0expectations,\u00a0but come from a two-match losing streak, and they have\u00a0not much\u00a0to play for.\u00a0Maybe finishing inside the top ten for the second time in their Premier League history could be a good motivation.<\/strong>

Then again, the Cherries have enjoyed a superb campaign, as they are four spots higher than they were in their last season.\u00a0They are level on points with Brighton, so they could finish ten if they take points and the Seagulls fail to do so against Manchester United.<\/strong>

However, in front, they have a needy Chelsea team with\u00a0great\u00a0momentum, so the club must prioritize being solid at the back to prevent Cole Palmer and Co from doing too much damage.\u00a0Those from the South Coast have received five goals in the last two games, and the defense has been their Achilles Heel all season.\u00a0Their 65 goals against make them the second-worst defense outside the relegation zone (they just received one less than Nottingham Forest).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
