Tottenham have undergone a transformation in personnel this summer, and it is still taking them time to gel, so they could be vulnerable against Nottingham Forest, who have an excellent recent record against the Londoners.

The best bet is a Barnsley win when they host Stevenage in League One on Saturday. Barnsley come into this game in form, having won their last two League One matches, while Stevenage have gone four League One games without recording a victory.

West Ham host Derby at the London Stadium on Saturday in a game that has the potential to be a goalfest. Over 3.5 goals has been a winning bet in two of West Ham’s four Championship games this season and could be worth backing again.

Cambridge are adapting impressively to life in League One and they can remain in the top six by defeating Burton in Staffordshire. Neil Harris’s side won 2-1 at Bradford on Tuesday and they face an easier task against the Brewers, who are among the smaller clubs at the level.

Oldham sit fifth in League Two with two wins from four matches, while Tranmere are tenth and have won just one of their last six league games. Oldham have also scored in 18 of their last 20 League Two matches and have won the last two head-to-head meetings by two-goal margins.

Northampton are taking a while to adjust to League Two but they can put a first win on the board by seeing off Newport at Sixfields. The Cobblers have some decent players for the level and can secure an overdue victory against County, who looked a tired outfit in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss at Salford.

Atletico Madrid have had a solid start to the season with seven points from their opening three games and they can win at Athletic Bilbao, who have already lost 3-1 against Sevilla on their own patch. The hosts have scored once in four of their last five home league games, so back Atletico to win and concede.

Santander beat Elche 3-2 last week, and they drew 2-2 at Villarreal in their opener. Rayo have had a tough run, losing to Sevilla and Barcelona, while they were clearly second-best in a 1-1 draw at home to Alaves, giving up 2.0 xG and generating only 0.42.

Celtic eased to a fourth straight Premiership victory in midweek when they saw off Aberdeen 3-0. The Bhoys’ closest challengers are St Mirren, who have scored seven times on their way to claiming 10 points from four matches. The hosts have suffered 35 defeats in their last 42 league meetings with Celtic, so back them to get on the scoresheet in another defeat.

Each of Sporting’s first four matches this season have featured four or more goals, and they meet a Nacional side fresh from a 3-2 loss to Estrela. The visitors are facing their toughest game so far, and the hosts have netted 10 goals across their last three league outings.

Roma could hardly have been more commanding in the opening two weeks of the Serie A season and, after beating both Fiorentina and Lecce 4-0. Atalanta have the worst underlying record across the first two matches, so back a comfortable home win.

Anthony Elanga could contribute to the scoresheet after netting in both Premier League appearances this season. He has had four shots and three on target in these two games and, alongside Yoane Wissa, has been Newcastle’s main attacking threat.

Diego Gomez had five shots against Chelsea and should get opportunities against Leeds. After missing some good chances at Stamford Bridge, Gomez can make amends with an anytime effort on Saturday.

Youngster Josh King has been a bright spark for Fulham this season, scoring in the home defeat to Chelsea, and he is a player set for a big future and he can enhance his burgeoning reputation by adding another goal in this London derby.

Morgan Gibbs-White scored 18 goals for Forest last season and remains their talisman. He scored a penalty at Liverpool last week and can be a thorn in Tottenham’s side at the City Ground.

Newcastle have won their last two games and should have the confidence to get another three points against Bournemouth, who failed to beat Everton last weekend and lost to Manchester City in their opener.

Charlton look capable of landing another victory as underdogs when they visit Stoke. The unbeaten Addicks sit third after four games and have won four of their last six Championship matches, while Stoke have managed just one victory in ten. Charlton have also scored in 11 consecutive league games, and should create chances against a Stoke side without a clean sheet in 17 of their last 19.

Southampton look capable of claiming all three points at Lincoln after losing just one of their last ten Championship matches. The visitors have scored in 24 consecutive league games, netting at least twice in 15 of those, and arrive on the back of an emphatic 5-1 victory over Millwall. With two wins from their opening four matches, Southampton can justify their position as the best bet.

Wigan climbed off the bottom of League One with an excellent 3-1 win at home to MK Dons and they can follow up by avoiding defeat against Stockport. The short trip to the Brick Community Stadium could be a tricky task for County, who were largely ineffective in their 2-0 midweek loss at Luton.

Salford secured a long-overdue victory with Tuesday’s 2-1 success at home to Newport and they can follow by defeating Port Vale at AIG Stadium. The Ammies have invested heavily during the summer and should have the edge over out-of-sorts Vale, who have put just two points on the board.

Henry: Sheffield United were mighty fortunate to beat Bolton 3-2 at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night and the Blades could be heading for a home defeat when Norwich come to the Steel City. Norwich are going to set up well on the counter-attack this season, as they showed in wins against Burnley in the Championship and Cardiff in the EFL Cup.

Ian: There was enough to like about Fulham’s performance in losing their opener 3-2 at home to Chelsea to suggest they can see off London rivals Crystal Palace. Palace, now winless in their last nine Premier League matches, have more work to do following a 2-0 defeat at Everton and a 4-1 home humbling by Manchester City.

Tom: Newly-promoted Elversberg sent shockwaves round the Bundesliga with their 3-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on the opening weekend, a match that saw them race into a 3-0 lead. Gladbach were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by RB Leipzig in their league opener, and they have finished in the bottom half of the Bundesliga in each of the last five years.

Alex: PSV’s four Eredivisie games this season have featured a massive 20 goals and another thriller is expected in 2026/27’s first De Topper tie. Three of the last four meetings between these two rivals have featured at least four goals and both sides head into this tie in Amsterdam in fine goalscoring form.

Gareth: The visitors carry a serious threat in attack in veteran forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and the Yellow Submarine look vulnerable at the back with five goals conceded so far. Aubameyang has scored in all of Depor’s games this season and is the only member of their squad who has got off the mark.

Aaron: Malen has been a revelation in Italy, netting 14 goals in 18 league appearances on loan at Roma last season. He has made a red-hot start to the new campaign, scoring five times across his first two matches. Visitors Atalanta rank last in the Expected Points table after two matches.

Brentford were dominant in their 3-0 win over Spurs in their first game of the season and put Birmingham to the sword shortly after. They can bounce back from their draw at Leeds against a Sunderland side that were thrashed 3-0 at this ground in January.

Burnley may be winless after four Championship games, but they look capable of upsetting sixth-placed Bristol City at Turf Moor. The visitors have shown defensive vulnerability, failing to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight league matches. Despite the contrasting starts, home advantage could help Burnley secure their first victory of the campaign.

Huddersfield have enjoyed two straight League One successes at home and they should be backed to win again when Notts County visit the John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday.

Bristol Rovers are a force to be reckoned with on home soil and they can get the better of Rotherham in an entertaining encounter. Rotherham are showing more positive signs but they face a tough task at the Memorial Stadium, where Rovers have won all of their last nine league fixtures.

Roma could hardly have been more commanding in the opening two weeks of the Serie A season and, after beating both Fiorentina and Lecce 4-0. Atalanta have looked shaky in their first two games, and the Giallorossi can claim another win.

Atletico Madrid have had a solid start to the season with seven points from their opening three games and they can win at Athletic Bilbao, who have already lost 3-1 against Sevilla on their own patch.

A statement 3-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach in their curtain-raiser suggests Leipzig can succeed under Martin Demichelis, and they look far too strong for a Werder Bremen side who have conceded 10 goals in losing their last four league matches dating back to the end of last season.

Brest are one point ahead of Le Havre but there was more to like about the hosts’ 1-1 draw at Lyon and narrow 1-0 defeat to Monaco than the visitors’ stalemates with Le Mans and Toulouse. Expect Brest’s Ligue 1 winless run to be extended to 12 by a solid Le Havre.

Both of these teams have made dismal starts to the new campaign but it’s hard to see Kilmarnock getting anything from their trip to Pittodrie. Neil McCann’s visitors have shipped 14 goals in four matches and could be exactly the sort of opponents Aberdeen need to start a revival.Both of these teams have made dismal starts to the new campaign but it’s hard to see Kilmarnock getting anything from their trip to Pittodrie. Neil McCann’s visitors have shipped 14 goals in four matches and could be exactly the sort of opponents Aberdeen need to start a revival.

Rosenborg have picked up five home wins this season, and they’ve won five of seven league games following the World Cup break. HamKam have lost all of their five away trips to sides above them in the table, and they look vulnerable after winning once in eight matches.

Brentford were dominant in their 3-0 win over Spurs in their first game of the season and put Birmingham to the sword shortly after. They can bounce back from their draw at Leeds against a Sunderland side that were thrashed 3-0 at this ground in January.

Brighton are unbeaten at the Amex this season, having claimed a pair of 4-0 wins, and they have an excellent record against Leeds as the home side. Albion have won seven of their last eight home games against Leeds and haven’t conceded in that run. Leeds were fortunate to secure a draw with Brentford at home last time out and a similar level of performance is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat at Albion.

West Brom look well placed to take advantage of Watford’s dreadful away form. The Baggies are unbeaten in nine Championship home games and have scored in five straight at The Hawthorns. Watford, meanwhile, are winless in eight away matches, losing six of their last seven, and have gone 11 consecutive away games without keeping a clean sheet.

Bristol Rovers are a force to be reckoned with on home soil and they can get the better of Rotherham in an entertaining encounter. Rotherham are showing more positive signs but they face a tough task at the Memorial Stadium, where Rovers have won all of their last nine league fixtures.

Manchester City have been busy in the transfer window this summer, but the squad doesn’t appear to be any stronger than last term. Rodri’s departure means City’s suspect defence could be exposed and Coventry can find the net in Manchester.

Tottenham have undergone a transformation in personnel this summer, and it is still taking them time to gel, so they could be vulnerable against Nottingham Forest, who have an excellent recent record against the Londoners.

Hull have scored in all three of their games this season and are have only failed to score in one of their last 10 competitive games stretching back to last term. The Tigers are yet to concede but they have faced a lot of attempts, and Villa can get their first goal of the new season. Villa have so far faced defensively solid teams and should enjoy more success against a promoted side, while Unai Emery’s visitors scored on average over a goal per game on their travels last term.

Manchester City have been busy in the transfer window this summer, but the squad doesn’t appear to be any stronger than last term. Rodri’s departure means City’s suspect defence could be exposed and Coventry can find the net in Manchester.

Both teams to score looks the standout bet at Bramall Lane. Sheffield United have seen goals at both ends in 14 of their last 16 Championship home games, while Norwich are without a clean sheet in 11 league matches. Seven of the last nine meetings have also seen both sides score, and another open encounter looks likely.

Three points in two games is a decent return for Lens after a summer of upheaval, although the departures of midfield duo Mamadou Sangare and Adrien Thomasson have seen them struggle to control games. They have shipped three goals in two games and Lorient have enough to net alongside their hosts.

Hull have scored in all three of their games this season and are have only failed to score in one of their last 10 competitive games stretching back to last term. The Tigers are yet to concede but they have faced a lot of attempts, and Villa can get their first goal of the new season. Villa have so far faced defensively solid teams and should enjoy more success against a promoted side, while Unai Emery’s visitors scored on average over a goal per game on their travels last term.

Both teams have scored in all three of Deportivo’s games so far and they have struck five times themselves. Villarreal are yet to keep a clean sheet but have scored four goals in their three games, and they are on an eight-game scoring streak at home.

Brighton are unbeaten at the Amex this season, having claimed a pair of 4-0 wins, and they have an excellent record against Leeds as the home side. Albion have won seven of their last eight home games against Leeds and haven’t conceded in that run. Leeds were fortunate to secure a draw with Brentford at home last time out and a similar level of performance is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat at Albion.

Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz have all started the season strongly, so expect Bayern to rack up the goals. The Bavarians have conceded in all three of their outings this term, though, so Schalke may give their fans a moment to cheer in their first Bundesliga home game since 2023.

Both of last season’s Eredivisie meetings ended in 2-2 draws and the goalscoring expolits of both teams suggests we could see a repeat of that scenario.

Bayern Munich kicked off the season with a sensational 5-1 rout of Stuttgart and the champions look set for another dominant success at Schalke. The hosts are playing their first home game since returning to the top-flight, after generating 2.1 xG in last week’s 3-0 loss at Augsburg. Including preseason, Bayern have now won and conceded in seven straight matches.

Utrecht have lost three of their four matches, shipping 15 goals along the way. They have suffered 6-1 and 4-1 defeats at home, with BTTS landing in all four of their games. Go Ahead have claimed seven points this term, and they’ve scored twice in all of their matches, so back them to edge a high-scoring encounter.

Celtic eased to a fourth straight Premiership victory in midweek when they saw off Aberdeen 3-0. The Bhoys’ closest challengers are St Mirren, who have scored seven times on their way to claiming 10 points from four matches. The hosts have suffered 35 defeats in their last 42 league meetings with Celtic, so back them to get on the scoresheet in another defeat.

Both PSV and Ajax have been full of goals in the early weeks of the season and there is big potential that their meeting in Amsterdam can produce at least four on Saturday.

The visiting Bhoys have already scored 11 goals in just four league outings this term while St Mirren have also caught the eye going forward. Side with over 3.5 goals in Saturday’s clash between the early top two.

Each of Sporting’s first four matches this season have featured four or more goals, and they meet a Nacional side fresh from a 3-2 loss to Estrela. The visitors are facing their toughest game so far, and the hosts have netted 10 goals across their last three league outings.

Both PSV and Ajax have been full of goals in the early weeks of the season and there is big potential that their meeting in Amsterdam can produce at least four on Saturday.

Roma could hardly have been more commanding in the opening two weeks of the Serie A season and, after beating both Fiorentina and Lecce 4-0. Atalanta have looked shaky in their first two games, and the Giallorossi can claim another win.

Swansea have enjoyed a fantastic start to the season and head into this game with ten points from a possible 12. They have won their last two outings by a 5-0 aggregate scoreline and Wrexham have only won once this term.

Both teams have scored in all three of Deportivo’s games so far and they have struck five times themselves. Villarreal are yet to keep a clean sheet but have scored four goals in their three games, and they are on an eight-game scoring streak at home.

Malen has been a revelation in Italy, netting 14 goals in 18 league appearances on loan at Roma last season. He has made a red-hot start to the new campaign, scoring five times across his first two matches. Visitors Atalanta rank last in the Expected Points table after two matches.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been key to Depor’s strong start as he has scored in every game so far and is the only member of their squad to strike this season, with their others being own goals. The evergreen forward can continue his hot-streak with a strike at Villarreal.

City aren’t quite right yet under Enzo Maresca. They may well come good but Lens away was arguably the worst road trip from Pot 4 while Napoli and Leipzig represent stern tests from Pot 3. And then there’s PSG and Barcelona. Altogether a tough test.

The home game against Bodo/Glimt and trip to Slavia ought to be the bedrock of a campaign in which Dino Toppmoller’s impressive group – who have already beaten PSG in the French Champions Trophy – can emerge successfully.

Barcelona could easily lose in Paris, legitimately drop points at Galatasaray and at home to Man City. One more slip and the top eight could feasibly elude them.

Arsenal were flawless 12 months ago and should have no difficulty getting to the 16 points which are probably required.

BVB came close to the top eight last season and have a great draw this year with Betis, AEK Athens, Sabah and even Inter Milan at home looks winnable.

PSV’s hammerings of Napoli and Liverpool last term were rare highs in an otherwise disappointing campaign. This season’s draw looks far kindlier for Peter Bosz and his Eredivisie big-hitters.

The final is in Madrid next spring and a Madrid side may well be there.

Real, 15-time winners, were quarter-finalists last year when they went out in a shooting spree against Bayern Munich and they look better equipped this time.

Jose Mourinho, a two-time winner of the tournament with two different clubs, is back at the helm and whether or not that is a positive will forever be debated.

But just look at the group of players at The Special One’s disposal.

That front three of Jude Bellingham playing in and around Vinicius Junior and the extraordinary Kylian Mbappe, with any of Arda Guler, Endrick, Yan Diomande, Rodrygo and so on and so on, makes mouths water.

Mourinho has also looked to improve them defensively though the likes of full-backs Denzel Dumfries and Marc Cucurella will do far more bombing forward than sitting back in this team.

It is desperately hard to make a case for sides outside the top six.

Inter Milan, possibly, at 28-1 or Atletico at 40-1 given Diego Simeone’s men have become such a major player in Europe.

Three-figure runners are clearly easier to ignore but PSV have a puncher’s chance and will be desperate to avenge last season’s flop when they finished 28th in the league phase despite scoring more goals than Man City.

This was a team capable of thrashing Napoli 6-2 and Liverpool (away) 4-1, but a 3-0 loss at Newcastle in between home losses to Atletico and Bayern did for them. This time round, their draw looks far easier and if nine points is the benchmark then it is easy enough to see them getting those from home games against Brugge and Shakhtar with a trip to newcomers Viking a massive plus.

Peter Bosz has held on to last season’s top scorer Ricardo Pepi and added defensive quality in Filip Kostic and Lutsharel Geertruida.

Guus Til, Sergino Dest and Ivan Perisic are big players in a team who should make the top 24 and, with a kindly draw, have a slim chance of outrunning their odds.

Kylian Mbappe had an explosive World Cup winning the Golden Boot with 10 goals.

That followed a season in which he scored 42 goals for Real Madrid – plus several more for France – and he has started this season with a hat-trick in his second club game, a 4-1 win over Sociedad.

Mbappe fired off 18 shots in his first two games for Real this season and will rack up chances. And if he racks up chances he racks up goals, quite likely enough to win the Golden Boot.

Top goalscorer betting in the Champions League invites each-way bets given the number of potential runners with so many teams looking to get 10, 12 maybe even more games under their belts.

Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy took full advantage of that in the first instalment of the new-look Champions League in 2024/24.

Again, the German powerhouses only reached the quarter-finals but in that time the Guinea international popped in 13 goals, tying top-scorer honours for the competition with Raphinha of Barcelona.

He scored 22 goals for Dortmund last term and is a major threat in this market at a fancy price.

And finally – and this is trusting PSV to get to the last 16 as a bare minimum – how about the Dutch side’s American frontman Ricardo Pepe.

Eindhoven boss Peter Bosz was delighted to see Pepe stay this summer and the 23-year-old is already among the goals in the Eredivisie.

Pepe scored 19 times for PSV last season and in a side who will score plenty of goals in the mood, especially at home, he again could outrun his odds.

You’ll never win anything challenging on two fronts, they said. You’ll never win anything playing the way you do, they sniped.

Arsenal proved the doubters wrong with the latter, almost wrong with the former and stronger this season than they were last, expect the Gunners to have a real shot at going one better in Europe.

Mikel Arteta’s men were simply fabulous in the Champions League last year, winning all eight group games – 3-1 wins over Inter Milan and Bayern and a 4-0 drubbing of Atletico the highlights – and gutsily squeezing past Leverkusen, Sporting and Atletico before succumbing to PSG in the final in Budapest.

That game finished 1-1 and went to penalties but we all know it was a mismatch.

Arteta knows, therefore, the gap between his side and PSG needs to close and shrewd summer transfer work might have enabled him to do that.

The arrivals of Ezri Konsa, Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis add quality and, critically, depth and if Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka can stay injury free – something the Norwegian wasn’t often enough – then there is everything to like about this most solid of groups.

You absolutely can challenge on two fronts – Arsenal have proved that and bear a Premier League winner’s rosette as proof.

The next step is conquering Europe and having come so close on May 30 take them to get it right this time.

After leading Manchester United to the Europa League final in 2025, Ruben Amorim is aiming to go one better with new side AC Milan.

The Rossoneri have literally bought into Amorim’s tactical approach, breaking their transfer record to sign Goncalo Ramos to lead the line. They’ve also spent £42million on Diego Moreira, a winger converted to a wing-back at Strasbourg.

Amorim can lean on the experience of Luka Modric in midfield and Mike Maignan in goal, while the club have some young talents who look suited to Amorim’s approach in Davide Bartesaghi and Alphadjo Cisse.

While Amorim underwhelmed in England, his United side secured some impressive European results, as did his Sporting outfit. Armed with one of the stronger squads in Europe’s second-tier competition, Amorim can help Milan lift this trophy for the first time.

Monaco have spent the last couple of seasons in the Champions League, losing 5-4 on aggregate to PSG in last season’s knockouts.

They’ve appointed former Flamengo boss Filipe Luiz as their new manager, and the former Chelsea defender has an impressive track record. He led the Brazilian side to their domestic title, and brought continental success in the Copa Libertadores.

Strasbourg reached the last four of the Conference League last term, and this Monaco side are capable of going even further under a highly-rated young manager.

Arsenal won all eight of their League Phase games last season, before seeing off Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting Lisbon and Atletico Madrid in the knockouts to reach the final.

The Gunners lost on penalties to PSG in Budapest, but they’re well-positioned for another strong showing in Europe.

Arsenal’s squad depth helped them balance their Champions League run alongside their Premier League success, and they’ve added Ezri Konsa, Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis this summer.

Last season’s title success should shed some of the tension that has gripped Arsenal in big moments, and they’ll hope Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka can stay fit enough to add cutting edge in the final third.

Defensively, the Gunners look like the strongest side in the competition, and they’ve gone a step further year-on-year in Europe across the previous three seasons.

With Malick Fofana gone, the onus will fall on Juventus loanee Lois Openda to provide Lyon’s goals. He has scored in two of his last three appearances for the club and scored 21 Ligue 1 goals in his last campaign in the French top flight in 2022/23.

Alexander Isak scored his first goal of the season against Nottingham Forest last time out and has registered a Liverpool-high seven shots and three on target so far.

Auxerre have lost both Ligue 1 games this season and conceded eight in the process. They have found the net in both of these defeats, though, and should be able to strike a consolation against a Lyon side that have conceded in four of their six competitive fixtures.

Almere City have taken 10 points from their first four matches, winning each of the last three. However, the hosts have managed only one clean sheet in that run, and they host an Ajax Reserves side that has already suffered 6-4, 3-2, and 2-1 defeats this season.

Real Madrid have registered expected goals figures of 2.71, 3.18 and 2.62 in their three La Liga matches this season and Jose Mourinho has a plethora of attacking talent at his disposal. It’s tricky to see how Betis can stop the Madrid men.

Shamrock Rovers have seen BTTS land in six of their last seven matches, with their season going off the boil in that run. However, they remain top of the Irish Premier Division, and they can pick off a Shels side that has taken one point from their last nine available, while the visitors were beaten 3-2 at Rovers earlier this season.

Galatasaray have scored nine goals across their first three matches, and each of their matches have featured four or more goals. They put three goals past Istanbul Basaksehir in March, and there should be another few goals in this clash.

Viborg have been in fine form of late, winning three straight league games, netting nine goals in total. They host a Lyngby side that have lost three from three on their travels this term, shipping at least two goals in each of those.

The bottom two in the Eliteserien meet in a crucial clash, but their respective track records suggest this will be an open game. Aalesund’s last home match finished 5-5, while Start boosted their survival hopes with a 4-1 victory on Sunday. The hosts have scored and conceded in their last 11 matches, so back goals in this encounter.

Stuttgart were beaten 5-1 at Bayern Munich in their opening Bundesliga contest, but they are in calmer waters against Cologne. Both sides are likely to be on the front foot and backing overs rates a play in this spot.

PSG have drawn 2-2 in both of their Ligue 1 matches this term, falling 2-0 down in each before fighting back. Monaco have a fitness edge having got minutes under their belt in Europe, and they’ve won four straight games while scoring 10 times. The visitors won 3-1 at PSG earlier this year, shortly after losing 5-4 on aggregate to them in a Champions League knockout tie.

Sparta have only failed to score in a home defeat to Feyenoord this term, and each of their previous three Eredivisie matches have seen BTTS land. PEC Zwolle have scored in both of their trips this term, and they lost 3-1 at home to NEC Nijmegen last weekend.

Ipswich have scored and conceded seven goals in three games this season and both teams have scored in each of them. They face a Liverpool side that have played out two 2-2 draws so far, with both teams scoring in each of their last eight Premier League games.

PSG have conceded four goals in their opening two Ligue 1 games against Rennes and Lille and Monaco can at least have hopes of finding the net in Paris. Taking both teams to score in a high-scoring contest looks the play.

Shamrock Rovers have had a tough run of form across recent matches, mainly in Europe. Both teams have scored in six of their last seven matches, including a 3-3 draw at Derry City in their return to league action. They host the Shels, who lost 3-2 at Rovers earlier this term, while nine of their 13 trips have seen both teams score.

Real Madrid have registered expected goals figures of 2.71, 3.18 and 2.62 in their three La Liga matches this season. However, they’ve conceded in two of those matches, and faced 14 shots in their one shutout against Malaga.

VVV have won three straight games, after starting the campaign with a 4-3 defeat to early leaders Heracles. The hosts have taken only two points from their first four fixtures, and they look vulnerable to a defeat against the in-form visitors.

Stuttgart were beaten 5-1 at Bayern Munich in their opening Bundesliga contest, but they are in calmer waters against Cologne. Both sides are likely to be on the front foot and backing overs rates a play in this spot.

PSG have drawn 2-2 in both of their Ligue 1 matches this term, falling 2-0 down in each before fighting back. Monaco have a fitness edge having got minutes under their belt in Europe, and they’ve won four straight games while scoring 10 times. The visitors won 3-1 at PSG earlier this year, shortly after losing 5-4 on aggregate to them in a Champions League knockout tie.

Porto have won all four of their league matches this term, which have all finished either 2-0 or 3-0. They can claim a routine win over Moreirense, who lost 4-0 at Arouca in their first away trip of the campaign.

Genoa have started the 2026-27 Serie A campaign with a pair of defeats to Napoli and Lazio and things are unlikely to get any better when Como visit Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Friday. Cesc Fabregas’s visitors have won ten of their last 15 Serie A games and look far too strong for Daniele De Rossi’s men.

Ipswich have scored and conceded seven goals in three games this season and both teams have scored in each of them. They face a Liverpool side that have played out two 2-2 draws so far, with both teams scoring in each of their last eight Premier League games.
