Groningen are aiming to bounce back after a four-game winless run, and they can secure a result against struggling PEC Zwolle. The hosts have lost four of their six games this term by a two-goal margin or greater.

Gent have won five of their last six league games, including each of their three home matches this season. There have been 15 goals scored across Standard Liege’s three away trips, including a 4-2 defeat at Westerlo last time out.

Shelbourne are struggling for results, but their performance data suggests they are capable of turning things around. Dundalk were hammered 4-0 at home by St Pat’s in their last game. And they’ve suffered three defeats in four home league matches, while the Shels have only been beaten twice on their travels this term.

Rovers have conceded at least twice in three of their last four league games, and they host a Waterford side that is now unbeaten in 10 matches in the league. The visitors have conceded 32 times across their 15 away trips, but they are capable of getting on the scoresheet at a side that has surrendered top spot by winning only once in five.

Ayr are winless in six matches, and they’ve suffered four defeats in their last five. The visitors have suffered consecutive defeats to nil on their travels, and they head to a Queens Park side that beat Greenock Morton in their last home match.

Both teams have seen plenty of goals in their matches, with Monza seeing four of their last five end with both teams scoring, whilst all of Sassuolo’s last five have seen both teams score. This is bound to be an open match with plenty of goals each side and we fancy this game to have over 2.5 goals

Bayern have won seven of their last eight Bundesliga home games with over 3.5 goals in each. Meanwhile, Union have lost their last two Bundesliga matches 3-1 and 4-0, and they lost 4-0 here in March.

Monaco have had an excellent start to the season with three wins and a draw. They host Lens tonight and when these two play there is typically goals with over 2.5 goals in four of their last five matches. This should be a similar type of match and with Monaco at home they will be expected to come out on top.

The Blues have been full of goals and there have been 30 in Chelsea’s six competitive games this term, while both teams have scored in Brentford’s last five matches.

Cesena have seen both teams score in all four of their matches this season, and they netted twice at Entella in their last away trip. Juve Stabia have conceded in all four of their league games, but they can also get on the scoresheet.

Both teams have scored in Bristol City’s last five matches and also in six of Watford’s last eight contests. The Robins have conceded in all three home fixtures this season and may do so again while Watford’s away defensive record is not great.

Both teams have scored in five of Elche’s six games after their 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid in midweek. They head to an Espanyol side that have scored in all six of their matches this term, while these two sides drew 2-2 in March.

Each of Solihull’s three away trips have seen both teams score, and they’ve kept only one clean sheet all season. Both teams have scored in seven of Yeovil’s last eight matches, including each of their last five.

Rovers have conceded at least twice in three of their last four league games, and they host a Waterford side that is now unbeaten in 10 matches in the league. The visitors have conceded 32 times across their 15 away trips, but they are capable of getting on the scoresheet at a side that has surrendered top spot by winning only once in five.

Luis Diaz could be due a start against Union, against whom he scored last season, after starting on the bench against Elversberg last time out. He scored 15 goals in 32 Bundesliga appearances last season (27 starts).

Lens have taken one point from the last nine available in Ligue 1, drawing 2-2 with Le Mans last weekend. They’re struggling to click after a big summer of departures, while Monaco sit among the early pacesetters with 10 points from four matches. The hosts have won five of their last six across all competitions and they can take the points.

It looks set to be an entertaining start to the Premier League weekend with this London derby and it could be Chelsea, who look a real attacking force under new manager Xabi Alonso, who take the honours.

It looks set to be an entertaining start to the Premier League weekend with this London derby and it could be Chelsea, who look a real attacking force under new manager Xabi Alonso, who take the honours. However, with 30 goals scored across the Blues’ six games this term, Brentford can get on the scoresheet.

Lens have conceded at least two in four of their last five, and with Monaco looking better than the teams they have faced recently, we can be sure the home side will have no issues scoring a few here. Lens do boast a good attack though but it will likely be a consolation at best.

The Blues have been full of goals and there have been 30 in Chelsea’s six competitive games this term, so take the visitors to claim a 3-2 success.

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.

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.
