class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Boasting a strong record against Bruce's men, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Red Devils to celebrate Ronaldo's return with a big win at Old Trafford

Manchester United will be hoping to welcome Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford in style when they take on Newcastle on Saturday.

The 36-year-old has rejoined the Red Devils 12 years after leaving for Real Madrid, where he became the club’s all-time leading scorer before moving to Juventus.

Manchester United vs Newcastle latest odds

Having won 10 and lost none of his 11 games against this opposition during his first spell in the Premier League, Man Utd are available at 2/11 (1.18) with bet365 to celebrate a victory on the Portugal international’s second debut.

Steve Bruce’s Newcastle have failed to win any of their first four competitive matches this season and are 14/1 (15.00) outsiders to spoil the party by coming out on top here.

None of the last eight encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 13/2 (7.50) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Manchester United vs Newcastle team news

Jadon Sancho is a doubt after withdrawing from international duty with a knock, while Alex Telles, Phil Jones and Scott McTominay are short of fitness, Marcus Rashford is definitely ruled out, and Fred is banned due to his failure to report for international duty with Brazil.

Callum Wilson, Paul Dummett and Isaac Hayden will all be assessed, with Martin Dubravka, Jonjo Shelvey and Ryan Fraser all injured, and Miguel Almiron banned from taking part by the Paraguayan FA.

Manchester United vs Newcastle preview

After breaking the record for shirt sales following his dramatic transfer, Ronaldo is under pressure to deliver immediate returns in front of an expectant home crowd.

This is unlikely to faze a player who arrives fresh from breaking the international scoring record during the break and who scored five goals in his last three appearances against the Magpies prior to leaving for Spain.

What’s more, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team have won each of the last three games against this opposition, scoring 11 goals and conceding three.

Manchester United vs Newcastle tips & predictions

Having beaten Leeds 5-1 in their opening home game of the season, a Ronaldo-bolstered Manchester United look well worth 5/4 (2.20) odds to beat Newcastle in a match featuring over 3.5 goals for the fourth meeting in a row.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors to the Parc des Princes have been in superb scoring form and Goal is backing that run to continue in the capital of France this weekend

Two of Ligue 1’s unbeaten sides so far in the 2021-22 campaign meet on Saturday as leaders Paris Saint-Germain host unexpected high-flyers Clermont.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men have won all four of their league matches, bouncing back from the disappointment of losing the French Super Cup to Lille in the traditional curtain-raiser of the season.

Clermont for their part have two wins and two draws from their opening four encounters in what is their debut season in France’s top flight.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Clermont latest odds

The hosts are overwhelming favourites to claim three points at the Parc des Prince with bet365 offering PSG at 2/7 (1.28) .

The visitors’ previous two away games have seen them face two of France’s most historic clubs, claiming a 2-0 win at Bordeaux and a 3-3 draw in Lyon.

Clermont can be backed at 9/1 (10.00) to record a memorable victory while the draw is priced at 5/1 (6.00) .

Paris Saint-Germain vs Clermont team news

The Parisians are likely to be missing a host of key players with Sergio Ramos, Colin Dagba and Juan Bernat are likely to be still sidelined with their respective long-term injuries while Marco Verratti is a doubt.

Kylian Mbappe picked up an injury while on international duty with France and is also a doubt, while Lionel Messi, Neymar, Angelo Di Maria and Leandro Paredes have all been in World Cup qualifying action in South American and will not be involved.

Clermont have no major injury concerns heading into this weekend. 

Paris Saint-Germain vs Clermont preview

The visitors have made a flying start to life in the upper reaches of French football with Pascal Gastien’s men scoring at least twice in each of their four games.

Indeed, only PSG have scored more goals this season than the division’s debutants and, with the Parisians missing so many important players, there is every chance that Clermont can keep their scoring run going.

Pochettino’s team have kept just one clean sheet in the five competitive matches they have contested so far this term and there should be plenty of interest in backing the visitors to get on the score sheet at the Parc des Princes.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Clermont tips & predictions

Both teams to score can be backed at 4/5 (1.80) while Clermont are offered at 10/3 (4.33) to score over 1.5 goals, something that both Strasbourg and Brest have already managed against PSG this campaign.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors scored in both of their Premier League games against the Blues last term and there is value in backing them to do so again

Chelsea welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge on Saturday with Thomas Tuchel’s men looking to continue their strong start to the Premier League season.

The Blues have seven points from a possible nine after three matches and face a Villa team who are looking for their first away win of the campaign having been beaten at Watford in their previous match on the road.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa latest odds

Dean Smith’s side were the last team to beat Chelsea in any competition, overcoming them 2-1 in Birmingham on the final day of the last Premier League season.

Aston Villa on Saturday can be backed at 10/1 (11.00) with bet365 to claim another success, with the hosts available at 2/7 (1.28) and the draw at 9/2 (5.50).

Chelsea vs Aston Villa team news

The Blues have N’Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic missing through injury, and Romelu Lukaku is a doubt, while Reece James is suspended and Thiago Silva looks set to miss out because of FIFA regulations.

Villa are missing a host of players, with Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia both in quarantine while Mahmoud Hasan, Keinan Davis and Jacob Ramsey are all still injured.

The away side could be boosted by the return of Leon Bailey and Bertrand Traore who are both nearing a recovery from their respective problems.  

Chelsea vs Aston Villa preview

Last season Villa had an exceptional scoring record on the road, netting in 16 of their last 19 games away from Villa Park.

The side have started the current campaign in similar fashion netting twice in their first away game of the term at Watford last month and there could be some interest in backing them to find the net in the capital this weekend.

Chelsea will provide stern opposition of course, but Villa managed to score against them in both matches last season, while the Blues conceded in home games in the previous campaign against the likes of Sheffield United, West Brom, Southampton and Leeds. 

Chelsea vs Aston Villa tips & predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 6/5 (2.20) and looks like an excellent option. This selection has paid out in both of the most recent meetings between the sides as well as in each of Villa’s last six away league clashes.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Jesse Marsch's side will be aiming to keep up their strong record against the Bundesliga champions and there is value in backing them to score

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich travel to the Red Bull Arena on Saturday to face RB Leipzig, with Julian Nagelsmann’s side looking for their third league win of the season.

After drawing their opening match of the campaign, the Bavarians have bounced back with two consecutive wins, but this weekend they face a Leipzig side against whom they hold a poor record.

RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich latest odds

With Julian Nagelsmann at the helm, Leipzig made life extremely difficult over the last few years for Bayern, with the champions only winning three of the last eight meetings. 

With the young manager now swapping dugout it remains to be seen how competitive Leipzig will be and bet365 price a home win at 21/10 (3.10).

Bayern, meanwhile, can be backed at 23/20 (2.15) with the draw at 14/5 (3.80).

RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich team news

The hosts remain without injured full-back Angelino, while summer signing from Barcelona – Ilaix Moriba – could get his first minutes with his new club.

Bayern remain without Benjamin Pavard and Kingsley Coman who are both injured, but otherwise have a full squad to choose from.

RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich preview

While their away form last season was patchy, Leipzig remain a strong prospect at home where they have lost just one Bundesliga game since January.

That defeat did come against Bayern in April, although it was a tight game decided by a solitary Leon Goretzka strike.

The hosts boast a strong scoring record in front of their own fans and will feel they can get on the score sheet once more this weekend against a Bayern side that have conceded goals already this term.

Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach and Koln have all scored in competitive games against Bayern so far this season and backing Leipzig to do so as well makes plenty of sense this weekend.

RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich tips & predictions

Both teams to score is offered at just 2/5 (1.40) but both teams to score in the first half looks like an appealing option at 12/5 (3.40) with this selection paying out in two of the last four meetings. 

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly. 

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having provided plenty of drama in their two encounters last season, Al Hain-Cole expects an exciting clash between Bielsa's men and the Reds

Leeds will be hoping to record their first win of the Premier League season when they welcome Liverpool to Elland Road on Sunday.

After opening the season with a heavy 5-1 defeat against Manchester United, Marcelo Bielsa’s men have been held to successive draws by Everton and Burnley.

Leeds United vs Liverpool latest odds

Without a win in 10 games against this opposition, Leeds are priced at 7/2 (4.50) with bet365 to get up and running by coming out on top.

Liverpool’s winning start to the season was halted by a draw against Chelsea last time out but they are 7/10 (1.70) favourites to return to form with a victory here.

The last two league meetings between this duo at this ground have both resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 16/5 (4.20) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Mateusz Klich and Junior Firpo will be assessed after testing positive for Covid-19 before the break, while Robin Koch is also a doubt due to a hip injury.

James Milner and Takumi Minamino will face late fitness tests, although Roberto Firmino is definitely ruled out due to the hamstring injury he picked up against Chelsea.

Leeds United vs Liverpool preview

There was plenty of entertainment on display in the two meetings between these sides last season, with Jurgen Klopp’s team scoring a late winner in a 4-3 victory at Anfield before conceding late on to surrender two points in the 1-1 draw here in Yorkshire.

It seems likely to be more of the same considering the Whites’ form so far this season, conceding eight times in their opening three league fixtures but also finding the net at least once in each.

On target in each of their last 13 matches in the league, Liverpool will certainly feel confident of causing more problems for a home defence that has looked shaky so far.

Leeds United vs Liverpool tips & predictions

Having struck 16 times in their last seven league games in a run going back to last season, Leeds look more than capable of delivering on 4/5 (1.80) odds to join their opponents on the scoresheet in their fourth match in five this campaign to see over 2.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Los Blancos have been in superb scoring form in the second halves of their games so far and Sunday's match should spring into life after the break

Real Madrid return to the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday evening more than 500 days since their last match there, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side taking on Celta Vigo in La Liga.

Los Blancos have claimed seven points from their first three games and face a Celta team who have started the campaign in disappointing fashion.

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo latest odds

The side from Vigo are yet to win this term, recording a draw and two defeats in their opening three games.

Celta are offered at 7/1 (8.00) with bet365 to spoil Madrid’s homecoming party by claiming their first victory of the campaign, while the hosts are priced at 4/11 (1.44) and the draw at 17/4 (5.25).

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo team news 

Los Blancos remain without Toni Kroos, with Isco likely to take his place in midfield, while new signing Eduardo Camavinga is available to make his debut after joining on the final day of the transfer window.

The visitors have no major injury concerns heading into the game, although holding midfielder Renato Tapia was away on international duty with Peru and only returned on Friday hampering his preparation for the clash.

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo preview

One point from their opening three matches was not the start that Celta were expecting, especially having ended the previous campaign as one of the most in-form sides in La Liga.

Not only have Celta failed to win this season they have also really failed to test the opposition goalkeeper.

Eduardo Coudet’s men have managed just two shots on target this term, both of which came in their first match, one of them being a penalty.

Two consecutive games against Osasuna and Athletic Club without a shot on target is a worrying trend and things are likely to get tougher for them this weekend.

Madrid for their part have scored in all three of their matches, a total of eight goals and seven of those strikes have come after the break.

With Celta’s only goal of the season coming in the second half as well there could be some interest in backing the game to explode into life the second 45 minutes. 

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo tips & predictions

The second half is offered at 20/21 (1.98) to be the highest scoring half and looks like an interesting selection for the game.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Ronaldo now leading the line in a star-studded attack, Al Hain-Cole expects the Red Devils to ease to a high-scoring win over Wagner's men

Manchester United will be aiming to get their Champions League campaign off to a winning start when they travel to the Wankdorf Stadium to take on Young Boys on Tuesday.

The Red Devils have enjoyed a strong start to the Premier League following an exciting summer transfer window, collecting 10 points from a possible 12.

Young Boys vs Manchester United latest odds

Having won both previous meetings with this opposition back in the 2018-19 group stage, Man Utd are clear 4/11 (1.36) favourites with bet365 to maintain the feelgood factor by coming out on top in Bern.

Appointed by Young Boys to replace the Bayer Leverkusen-bound Gerardo Seoane in the summer, David Wagner can be backed at 7/1 (8.00) to mastermind a shock victory over a team he beat 2-1 while manager of newly-promoted Huddersfield Town four years ago.

None of the visitors’ last 14 matches in this competition have finished in a draw, but you can get odds of 17/4 (5.25) on them being forced to settle for a single point here.

Fabian Lustenberger, Jean-Pierre Nsame, Esteban Petignat, Joel Monteiro and Nico Mainer are all sidelined for the home side.

Scott McTominay and Edinson Cavani have not travelled, while Dean Henderson, Alex Telles, Phil Jones and Marcus Rashford are also ruled out.

Young Boys vs Manchester United preview

Having added Cristiano Ronaldo to a team that already includes the in-form Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba, last season’s Europa League runners-up are surely now among the favourites for Champions League glory.

It certainly spells trouble for a Swiss side that failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five qualification matches against Slovan Bratislava, CFR Cluj and Ferencvaros, conceding twice in three of those games.

Nevertheless, Young Boys will at least back themselves to cause problems of their own after scoring 18 goals in their six most recent fixtures, albeit keeping just one clean sheet over that run.

Young Boys vs Manchester United predictions

All in all, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem generous on United coming out on top in their eighth consecutive Champions League game to produce over 2.5 goals, as well as a seventh game in a row for their opponents.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have problems in attack while the visitors are in rampant form and there should be plenty of interest in backing an away win at Camp Nou

Barcelona welcome Bayern Munich to Camp Nou on Tuesday evening in the first game in Group E of the Champions League.

The last time these sides met, the Bundesliga champions recorded a historic humiliation, thrashing the Catalans 8-2 in August last year and the Blaugrana will be desperate to erase the memory of that semi-final defeat with a win this week.

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich latest odds

Ronald Koeman’s men have lost both of their last two Champions League home matches, going down 3-0 to Juventus in the final group game of last season’s tournament before being demolished 4-1 by Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16.

Barcelona are ranked as clear outsiders at 5/2 (3.50) with bet365, while Bayern are available at 19/20 (1.95) and the draw can be backed at 3/1 (4.00).

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich team news

The hosts have serious problems up front where Danish striker Martin Braithwaite has become the latest injury concern.

The former Leganes forward requires knee surgery and there are reports suggesting he could be out for several months.

Braithwaite will miss the game along with fellow forwards Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembele and Sergio Aguero while the departure of Antoine Griezmann to Atletico Madrid has left the Catalans looking lightweight up front.

Luuk de Jong is likely to make his debut alongside compatriot Memphis Depay, while at the back Sergino Dest hopes to overcome a sprained ankle.

Bayern for their part missed Corentin Tolisso and Kingsley Coman from their weekend win over RB Leipzig but otherwise Julian Nagelsmann has a fully-fit squad from which to choose.

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich preview

It has been a long time since Barcelona went into a home group game in the Champions League as rank outsiders, but the Blaugrana are considerably weaker than they have been for many years.

Last season the squad lacked depth, but they still had Lionel Messi, a luxury no longer afforded to Koeman and his coaching staff and there are few hopes for Barca to achieve anything notable in European competition this term.

Bayern for their part have responded superbly from the disappointment of drawing their opening Bundesliga game to Borussia Monchengladbach and the Bavarians have looked ominous in the final third.

Bayern are on the longest undefeated away run in the history of the Champions League having not lost on the road since September 2017 and another successful trip looks likely for the Bundesliga champions this week.

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich tips & predictions

Backing an away win at 19/20 (1.95) makes plenty of sense, while combining this selection with Bayern to score over 1.5 goals sees the odds rise to 11/10 (2.10).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having added a dangerous attack to the backline that earned them Champions League glory, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Blues to kick off with a big win

Chelsea will begin the defence of their Champions League crown by welcoming Zenit St Petersburg to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Thomas Tuchel’s men look in strong shape to follow up last season’s final win over Manchester City, having added Romelu Lukaku to an already star-studded team over the summer.

Chelsea vs Zenit latest odds

Having won three and lost none of their four opening league fixtures, Chelsea are clear 2/11 (1.18) favourites with bet365 to get up and running with a victory on home soil.

Zenit have lost eight of their last 10 fixtures in this competition and are hefty 16/1 (17.00) outsiders to upset the champions with a shock win in west London, or priced at 6/1 (7.00) to earn even a single point.

Chelsea vs Zenit team news

N’Golo Kante will face a late fitness test as he struggles with an ankle injury, while Christian Pulisic is definitely ruled out.

Dmitri Christyakov is a doubt due to an ankle injury, with Magomed Ozdoev unavailable after damaging his knee ligaments on the opening day of the Russian league season.

Chelsea vs Zenit preview

While they lifted their second Champions League trophy as slight outsiders last season, the Blues will certainly be one of the favourites to go all the way this time out.

Having looked solid but sometimes unspectacular in their first half-season under Tuchel, Lukaku’s arrival has already added a major goal threat to go with their extremely solid defensive set-up.

This does not bode well for Sergei Semak’s men, who have struggled to match their extremely dominant recent domestic performances with competitive displays in European competition.

Indeed, the Russian champions have lost their last five successive away matches in the Champions League against RB Leipzig, Benfica, Borussia Dortmund and Club Brugge, conceding 13 goals and scoring just twice.

It is therefore hard to see them stepping up against a home team that have eased to successive 3-0 victories in their first two home games of the Premier League season.

Chelsea vs Zenit tips & predictions

In fact, Chelsea look well worth 6/4 (2.50) odds to win by at least three clear goals once again when they face a Zenit side that have not travelled well in Europe of late.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both sides have started the season strongly and their first game in the Champions League should bring more goals on Wednesday night on Merseyside

Liverpool welcome AC Milan to Anfield on Wednesday evening in Group B of the Champions League as the Rossoneri make their return to Europe’s premier club competition after seven years.

The Reds meanwhile were quarter-finalists last season, knocked out in convincing fashion by Real Madrid, and Jurgen Klopp’s men will be aiming to reach the latter stages of the tournament once more.

Liverpool vs Milan latest odds

The last two editions of the Champions League have seen Italian sides take points from their group-stage visits to Merseyside.

Atalanta won 2-0 at Anfield last year while Napoli recorded a 1-1 draw in 2019.

Milan are priced at 5/1 (6.00) with bet365 to pick up a victory, with a Liverpool success offered at 1/2 (1.50) and the draw at 7/2 (4.50).

The hosts are without teenager Harvey Elliott who suffered a serious ankle injury in the weekend win over Leeds United, while Roberto Firmino and Neco Williams also remain sidelined.

Former Chelsea man Tiemoue Bakayako had to go off injured during Milan’s victory over Lazio on Sunday and is unlikely to be able to feature, although another ex-Blues player Olivier Giroud should be clear to feature having recovered from coronavirus. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been ruled out through injury.

Liverpool vs Milan preview

Both teams have begun their respective domestic seasons strongly, with Liverpool claiming 10 points from a possible 12 and Milan recording three wins from three games.

The Reds’ three victories have all come without conceding a goal yet they were against modest opponents in Norwich City, Burnley, and Leeds.

The most challenging game Liverpool have faced was against Chelsea which ended 1-1 and Milan will feel they can score on Wednesday night.

Stefano Pioli’s team have scored eight goals in their three games, with five different players finding the back of the net and the seven-time champions of Europe should be backed to get on the score sheet once more. 

Liverpool vs Milan tips & predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 7/10 (1.70) while combining this with over 2.5 goals sees the odds rise to evens (2.00).
