Football Betting Tips

Montse Tome’s side look to have a much easier group that contains Italy, Portugal and Belgium, especially as they put 19 goals past the latter two in four Nations League meetings this season. Spain have demonstrated they know how to bottle a winning formula and they look strong candidates to add to their trophy collection.

Spain have demonstrated they know how to bottle a winning formula and they look strong candidates to add to their trophy collection.

Tadej Pogacar has been nigh on unbeatable since winning a third yellow jersey, claiming the world championship title and three Monuments, and he looks capable of landing this year’s Tour de France.

Lando Norris is yet to win around Silverstone, but the 25-year-old has outperformed team-mate Oscar Piastri in each of their two British Grands Prix at McLaren, finishing third here last year and second the year before, both times over 12 seconds ahead of the Australian.

Ryan Fox looks an excellent each-way bet at generous odds. Fox has claimed PGA Tour titles at the Myrtle Beach Classic and the Canadian Open since the start of May. He is a proven links specialist, winning the Dunhill Links in 2022 – where three of the four rounds are played on Open venues – and he was 16th at Portrush in 2019.

Oleksandr Usyk already has one KO win over Daniel Dubois on his CV and he can remove any controversy over that result with another stoppage in the rematch. The Ukrainian is too slick to get caught by Dubois and has the power and accuracy to win without needing the scorecards.

Toronto sit third bottom of the Eastern Conference, despite the fact that they’ve outperformed their xG tally so far this season. The team have the lowest xG tally in the East, along with the worst xG tally on the road of any MLS side.

Mexico eliminated Saudi Arabia in the quarter-finals of the Gold Cup, leaving them 90 minutes away from a return to the final. The defending champions have an incredible defensive record at the tournament so far, conceding just 1.4 Expected Goals across four matches, the lowest tally of any side.

Haugesund are sinking without a trace in the Eliteserien, earning only two points from their first 12 matches of the campaign. The visitors have scored only four times in that stretch, which makes them heavy outsiders ahead of this visit to midtable Sarpsborg.

Oster have lost to nil in each of their three home clashes with the top four this season. They’ve scored only five times across their six home games in total, so back them to fall short against the title-chasing visitors.

Derry City are on a roll in the Irish top-flight, winning three consecutive matches without conceding. They have jumped into second place, 11 points shy of Shamrock Rovers with two games in hand.

The Swiss have warmed up for the tournament with a poor run, losing six of their previous nine. Norway account for two of those defeats, while the Swiss have failed to score in six of those nine matches.

Belgium have lost six of their previous nine matches, conceding over two goals per game in that stretch. Italy have won six of their last 10 matches and can kick off their Euro 2025 bid with a win, although a clean sheet may be beyond them as Belgium have turned into an impressive counter-attacking side under Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir.

Spain put 11 goals past Portugal in two meetings and were unfortunate to concede against them. They have scored exactly four goals in two of their last four meetings, while Portugal have failed to score in their last three games. La Roja may be able to win with plenty of room to spare against their Iberian rivals.

Belgium have lost six of their previous nine matches, conceding over two goals per game in that stretch. Italy have won six of their last 10 matches and can kick off their Euro 2025 bid with a win, although a clean sheet may be beyond them as Belgium have turned into an impressive counter-attacking side under Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir.

Belgium have turned into an impressive counter-attacking side under Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir, but they’ve conceded 22 times in their nine matches in 2025. Italy have scored in eight of their last nine, so BTTS appeals.

Both of these teams should be able to contribute and combine for at least three goals. Over 2.5 goals has landed in five of Belgium’s last six games and in four of Italy’s last five. Belgium have lost six of their previous nine matches, conceding over two goals per game in that stretch. Italy have won six of their last 10 matches, so back them to begin with a 2-1 victory.

Claudio Pina hit 24 goals in 42 games for Barcelona across all competitions last season – including 10 in nine Champions League games. Pina comes into this tournament in sensational form with five goals in her last three games for club and country, and she can help Spain see off Portugal in Group B.

La Roja may be able to win with plenty of room to spare against their Iberian rivals. 

Liverpool won by at least two goals in nine of their 14 home victories last season, while they comfortably saw off Bournemouth home and away. The Cherries lost 3-0 at Anfield and 2-0 at home to the Reds, despite enjoying a successful campaign.Bournemouth have already sold Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, while Liverpool are pursuing their left-back Milos Kerkez. The Reds will have plenty of time to bed in their new signings, while Andoni Iraola’s side will likely start this campaign weakened at the back. Back the champions to lay down a marker in their opener.

Despite little expectation, there was plenty of promise in Fabian Hurzeler’s first season at the Amex and it would be no surprise to see a young Brighton side take another forward step next term.The Seagulls saw out the campaign by drawing with Newcastle and beating West Ham, Wolves, Liverpool and Tottenham in their final five matches and they have already added Sunderland’s playoff hero Tommy Watson and Italy Under-21 centre-back Diego Coppola to a strong squad.Fulham, meanwhile, lost five of their last seven matches of the season, only beating Southampton and Brentford, and are yet to bring in any new faces, suggesting an opening-day defeat may be on the cards for the Cottagers.

Brentford have a busy summer ahead as they plan for a future after Thomas Frank but they should be ready for the opening weekend of the season and can start with a win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.The Bees might be without Bryan Mbeumo, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, but they are usually a step ahead when it comes to player recruitment and are likely to assemble a strong squad over the next few weeks.Forest will be in for a tough game and they might struggle to shrug off the disappointment of missing out on Champions League qualification.The Tricky Trees have taken one point from their last four home games and they could be stung by the Bees.

Only champions Liverpool are a shorter price than Tottenham to win their opening Premier League fixture and I think I would look to oppose Spurs.Of course, a home tie against Burnley appears a fairly kind fixture, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Clarets, who conceded only 16 goals in 46 Championship matches last term, were difficult to break down.The decision to replace Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank wasn’t met with unanimous euphoria in north London and it could take a while for Spurs to find their stride.

Pep Guardiola must adapt his usual pre-season plans due to Manchester City’s involvement in the Club World Cup and the Citizens could drop points in a tricky opening assignment at Wolves.City made hard work of May’s 1-0 home victory over Wolves, who hit the woodwork twice at the Etihad Stadium, and they needed a 95th-minute John Stones winner at Molineux in October.Wolves sold forward Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri to City but their recruitment has been good in recent years and they won ten of their 22 league matches after Vitor Pereira’s arrival in December.

Leeds were the highest-scoring side in last season’s Championship, but they may find the going tougher in the top flight, and they could kick off their season with a low-scoring affair at Elland Road.Ten of Everton’s final 12 games of 2024/25 featured fewer than three goals, and their away games throughout last season averaged a Premier League low of 1.95 goals per game. A mere 26 per cent of them went over 2.5 goals, and no team outside the top four conceded fewer goals than the Toffees.
