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.

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.

Over 3.5 goals has landed in 71% of Oulu’s home matches, while KTP have conceded 18 times across their six away trips. The visitors have also averaged a goal per game on the road, so expect a high-scoring encounter.

Botsani won when these two met in March, with the hosts closing the league out with four wins from nine to stave off the drop. The visitors had a poor away record last term, so back Botsani to win.

Mjallby lead the way in the Allsvenskan with 34 points from 15 games, winning 10 of those fixtures. The Swedish pacesetters should have too much for Sirius, who have lost three of their six home assignments.

The visitors picked up five away wins last term and they won five of six clashes with the bottom three. They face a side who were promoted despite winning only three of their final 13 matches. Back Dinamo to start with a victory.

Deportivo Riestra have won the last two meetings between these sides, while Lanus have won one of their last eight league games, scoring only four times. The hosts were unbeaten at home through the first-half of the campaign, so back them to avoid defeat again.

Mjallby have scored exactly three goals in four of their last five games against Sirius and they’ve also netted three times in three of their eight trips in the Allsvenskan this season. Sirius can get on the scoresheet as they have found the back of the net in 11 successive games but a solitary consolation strike may be as good as it gets for the home side, take a chance on a 3-1 away win.

Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc won promotion last term, but their season fell apart down the stretch when they faced sides in the top six. They were beaten home and away by champions Arges, so the step up to the top tier could be tough. Dinamo conceded in four of their trips to the bottom five, so back a comfortable 3-1 win for the visitors.

Mjallby’s Elliot Stroud is available following a suspension and he appeals as a potential anytime scorer. Stroud was on target against Malmo in his last appearance and has three goals in his last seven games.

Mjallby lead the way in the Allsvenskan with 34 points from 15 games, winning 10 of those fixtures. The Swedish pacesetters should have too much for Sirius, who have lost three of their six home assignments. Sirius can get on the scoresheet as they have found the back of the net in 11 successive games.

El Nacional have won only twice on their travels this season, while they were beaten 1-0 at home by Aucas earlier this term. The hosts have a solid home record, so back them to secure all three points.

Peterhead were beaten 4-2 by Scottish Championship side Morton in their opener and lost their final two away games in League Two last season. Motherwell won three and drew two of their final five home matches.

Norway topped their group in impressive fashion, scoring eight times as they won all three matches. However, their defensive issues were notable, as they shipped five goals and failed to keep a clean sheet. Italy scored in all three games, but they were unable to shut out Portugal and Spain in their previous two matches.

These two sides drew 2-2 in the first leg, while St Joseph’s scored home and away against Shelbourne in Europe last season.

Spain scored 14 times in the group stage, but they’ve conceded in 10 of their last 11 games. With home advantage, the Swiss can get on the scoresheet.

KFUM have scored in all but one of their home matches this term, while Brann have kept only one clean sheet on their travels. The hosts have conceded in all but three of their Eliteserien matches so far, so back both teams to score.

Bottom side Haugesund are cut adrift at the bottom, but they’ve scored in four of their seven trips. Valerenga have seen BTTS in their last four home matches, so back goals.

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.
