Urs Fischer's Union Berlin are fancied to see off Werder Bremen this weekend

RB Leipzig and Lazio have enjoyed excellent seasons in the Bundesliga and Serie A and the in-form pair feature along with Union Berlin, Rennes and Monza in our five-strong weekend European accumulator.

Saturday, 2.30pm

Bet 1: Back RB Leipzig to beat Schalke at 5/8

Schalke are scrapping for survival at the bottom of the Bundesliga but they lost 6-0 at Bayern Munich in their last away fixture and face a tough trip to RB Leipzig on the final day of term.

Leipzig dented Bayern's title hopes with a 3-1 win at the Allianz Arena last weekend, extending their impressive run to six victories in seven games, and they thrashed Schalke 6-1 in January's reverse fixture.

Saturday, 2.30pm

Bet 2: Back Union Berlin to beat Werder Bremen at 5/12

Union Berlin's push for Champions League qualification in the Bundesliga has been hampered by recent away defeats at Augsburg and Hoffenheim but they should make no mistake at home to Werder Bremen on the final day of term.

Union have been outstanding on home turf this season, winning 10 and drawing six of their 16 league matches. They have beaten leaders Borussia Dortmund 2-0 and saw off top-four rivals Freiburg 4-2 in their last home game so should be confident of securing three points against a Werder side who have lost eight of their nine fixtures against top-five clubs.

Saturday, 8pm

Bet 3: Back Rennes to beat Monaco at 11/10

Rennes have won 14 of their 18 home matches in Ligue 1 and another victory on Saturday would take them level on points with fourth-placed visitors Monaco with just one game remaining.

Monaco have done well to stay in the hunt for European qualification given this season's defensive frailties but they run into an in-form Rennes side who have won four of their last six games by 3-0, 4-2, 4-0 and 5-0 scorelines.

Rennes have done the double over table-topping Paris Saint-Germain this term, keeping clean sheets in both of those wins, and they can see off Monaco in their final home fixture of an impressive campaign.

Sunday, 2pm

Bet 4: Back Monza to beat Lecce at 31/20

Monza have been one of the surprise packages in Serie A and a run of five wins in seven, including victories over Italian champions Napoli and Champions League finalists Inter Milan, has taken them into the top eight.

Sunday's visitors Lecce are still fighting to secure their top-flight status but their motivation is factored into the prices and Monza look a tempting bet to beat opponents who have taken just one point from their last six away matches.

Sunday, 5pm

Bet 5: Back Lazio to beat Cremonese at 2/9

Lazio are in pole position to finish as runners-up to Serie A champions Napoli and they have every chance of ending the season with wins at home to Cremonese and away to Empoli.

The Romans have conceded only 28 goals in 36 matches, beating three of the bottom four to zero at home, and they should be far too strong for relegated Cremonese on Sunday.

The visitors' only away win of the campaign came at bottom club Sampdoria and they were hammered 5-1 at home to Bologna last weekend.
