class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Marsch's men struggling so far this season, Al Hain-Cole expects the hosts to extend their strong group-stage record with a comfortable win

Manchester City will once again begin their quest for Champions League glory when they welcome RB Leipzig to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola’s men came painstakingly close to finally matching their recent domestic dominance with continental success last season, suffering a defeat against Chelsea in the final.

Manchester City vs RB Leipzig latest odds

However, Man City are 2/7 (1.29) favourites with bet365 to start putting that disappointment behind them by coming out on top in their opening Group A encounter.

Leipzig were knocked out by Liverpool in the first knockout round last time out but are available at 9/1 (10.00) to cause an upset against another Premier League opponent here.

Just one of the hosts’ last 17 fixtures in this competition has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 9/2 (5.50) on them being forced to settle for a single point in this one.

Manchester City vs RB Leipzig team news

Kevin De Bruyne is in contention to start after being fit enough to take his place on the bench in Saturday’s win over Leicester, although Zak Steffen remains absent due to Covid-19.

Marcelo Saracchi and Marcel Halstenberg are both ruled out due to injury, while Angelino will be aiming to start against his former club after returning from injury against Bayern at the weekend.

Manchester City vs RB Leipzig preview

Despite City’s numerous upsets in recent knockout stages, they have proved extremely consistent in group games over the last few years – winning 13 and losing none of their previous 17.

They will be confident of maintaining that record against a team that have struggled so far under new boss Jesse Marsch, losing three of their opening four Bundesliga matches following a summer of high-profile departures.

What’s more, the Germans did not actually have much luck on the road in this competition under previous boss Julian Nagelsmann, having lost three of their four away matches last season without scoring a goal in any of those defeats.

Manchester City vs RB Leipzig tips & predictions

Having won each of their last three games while scoring 11 goals and conceding none, City look well worth 8/11 (1.73) odds to beat a Leipzig team by two goals or more that is struggling for form at the moment.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both sides have been finding the back of the net with ease so far this season and that run of form should continue in the Champions League this week

Real Madrid travel to Milan on Wednesday evening to face Inter in the first round of matches in Group D of the Champions League.

These two sides met at the same stage last season with Los Blancos topping the group and Inter ending bottom, while both of their meetings ended in victories for the side from the Spanish capital. 

Inter Milan vs Real Madrid latest odds

The two sides have started their respective domestic seasons in strong fashion with Inter claiming two wins and a draw from their opening three Serie A games, while Madrid sit top of La Liga with 10 points from a possible 12.

Inter on Wednesday night can be backed at 11/8 (2.38) with bet365 to record a victory, with Carlo Ancelotti’s Madrid team available at 9/5 (2.80) and the draw at 13/5 (3.60).

Inter Milan vs Real Madrid team news

The Italian champions are without midfielder Stefano Sensi who has a knee injury, but they should be boosted by the return of centre-back Alessandro Bastoni who missed the weekend draw at Sampdoria with a thigh issue.

Madrid meanwhile have David Alaba back in the squad after the Austrian was sidelined for Sunday’s victory over Celta Vigo, although Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos and Marcelo remain injured. 

Inter Milan vs Real Madrid preview

Both outfits have kicked off the 2021-22 campaign in impressive scoring form, with Inter netting nine times in their three games and Madrid racking up 13 goals in their four clashes.

There remain question marks about both defences, however, and this looks like a recipe for another high-scoring meeting between these teams.

Last season Los Blancos reached the semi-finals of the competition but only kept four clean sheets in their 12 matches, and while one of those shutouts did come in Milan, Madrid look much weaker defensively this season.

Inter meanwhile have scored in 27 of their last 29 home games in all competitions, with their last blank in their own stadium coming in December last year.

Backing a game with goals at both ends on Wednesday at San Siro therefore makes plenty of sense. 

Inter Milan vs Real Madrid tips & predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is offered at 20/21 (1.98) and looks a solid option given how both teams have started their respective campaigns.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Boasting an intimidating record at the Stadion Maksimir, Al Hain-Cole is backing Krznar’s men to make life difficult for the Hammers on Thursday

West Ham will be hoping to make a winning return to European competition when they travel to the Stadion Maksimir to take on Dinamo Zagreb in Thursday’s Europa League clash.

The Hammers have not taken part in this competition since 2016, when they were knocked out by Romania’s Astra at the qualification stage.

Dinamo Zagreb vs West Ham latest odds

Having started the Premier League season in strong form with two wins and two draws, West Ham are available at 6/5 (2.20) with bet365 to come out on top in Croatia.

Damir Krznar’s men were knocked out of the Champions League play-offs by Sheriff Tiraspol but Dinamo Zagreb are available at 21/10 (3.10) to put that disappointment behind them by pulling off an impressive win here.

The hosts’ last two European fixtures on home turf have both finished all square, and you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them playing out another stalemate in this one.

Dinamo Zagreb vs West Ham team news

Dominik Livakovic is doubtful while Dino Peric is ruled out, although captain Arijan Ademi should be available after returning from injury off the substitutes’ bench at the weekend.

With a fully-fit squad to choose from, the visitors could offer new signings Alphonse Areola, Kurt Zouma and Nikola Vlasic their first starts in a rotated line-up.

Dinamo Zagreb vs West Ham preview

Having started the league season in prolific form with 10 goals from the opening three fixtures, David Moyes’ team were frustrated to draw 0-0 at Southampton at the weekend.

They could be in for another tough challenge against Dinamo, who have kept six clean sheets in their last seven fixtures and gone four games in a row without conceding a single goal.

What’s more, the Croatian champions are a tough nut to crack in front of their own fans in the Europa League, losing just one of their last 15 home fixtures and conceding only three goals in their most recent 10.

Dinamo Zagreb vs West Ham tips & predictions

All in all, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem generous on Dinamo making life difficult for West Ham on their return to the European stage and ensuring under 2.5 goals for their eighth fixture in nine.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With neither team at full strength, Al Hain-Cole isn't expecting much action when Genesio's men welcome Spurs to Roazhon Park in the Conference League

Tottenham will be determined to bounce back from their disappointing defeat against Crystal Palace when they travel to Roazhon Park to take on Rennes in Thursday’s Europa Conference League clash.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men saw their perfect Premier League start brought to a thudding halt at Selhurst Park on Saturday, going down 3-0 against their London rivals.

Rennes vs Tottenham latest odds

Nevertheless, Spurs are 7/5 (2.40) favourites with bet365 to put that behind them by coming out on top in their opening Group G clash.

Rennes come into this match on the back of two successive Ligue 1 defeats but are available at 17/10 (2.70) to pull off a big win against their Premier League guests.

The visitors are yet to draw any of their six matches in all competitions this season, but there are odds of 23/10 (3.30) available on them playing out a stalemate in this one.

Rennes vs Tottenham team news

Martin Terrier is unlikely to feature after coming off injured in Sunday’s defeat against Reims, with Alfred Gomis, Birger Meling, Lovro Majer and Jeremy Doku also unavailable.

Eric Dier, Ryan Sessegnon, Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-min are all injured, while Davinson Sanchez, Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso remain unavailable due to quarantine regulations.

Rennes vs Tottenham preview

With big games against Marseille and Chelsea coming up in their respective league calendars at the weekend, it seems fair to predict that neither team will go into this game at full strength – particularly when you consider both injury lists.

Having limped to a 1-0 defeat away to Pacos Ferreira in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off without the likes of Son and Harry Kane, a similarly under-strength Spurs side are likely to look less than inspired once again in Brittany.

Similarly, Bruno Genesio’s injury-hit attack does not inspire much confidence after drawing a blank in their last two games, meaning goalmouth action could be rather limited at both ends of the pitch.

Rennes vs Tottenham tips & predictions

All in all, odds of 10/11 (1.91) could prove strong value on a tepid Europa Conference clash seeing no more than one of Rennes or Spurs on target.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Europa League meeting of two sides in green and white on Thursday evening in the Andalusian city of Seville should see goals scored at both ends

Real Betis welcome Celtic to the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Thursday evening in Group G of the Europa League.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men recorded their first win of the Liga season on Monday with a strong showing against Granada, while Celtic come into the game off the back of a 3-0 victory over Ross County, their third of the SPL campaign. 

Real Betis vs Celtic latest odds

Los Verdiblancos’ last Europa League campaign ended in the round of 32 back in 2019 when they were knocked out by Rennes.

Betis can be backed at 4/6 (1.66) with bet365 to get their latest European adventure off to a winning start, while Celtic are priced at 4/1 (5.00) and the draw at 14/5 (3.80).

Real Betis vs Celtic team news

The hosts have a relatively clean bill of health with only Diego Lainez and Youssouf Sabaly missing through injury.

Celtic meanwhile are missing Kyogo Furuhashi, with the Japanese forward picking up a knee injury while on international duty and his absence will be a major blow with the striker having made a great start to life in Glasgow already scoring seven times in all competitions. 

Real Betis vs Celtic preview

Betis have started the season slowly and defensively they have been disappointing, conceding in each of their four matches so far in La Liga.

Their 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid was perhaps the game in which they have defended the best, with Pellegrini’s side conceding against the likes of Cadiz, Granada and Mallorca, some of La Liga’s most modest attacking sides.

Celtic will miss Furuhashi in the final third but the Scottish outfit will feel they can find the back of the net in Spain as they did in the Netherlands in the qualifying round against AZ.

Albian Ajeti and Liel Abada have both been in solid scoring form already for Ange Postecoglu’s team and backing the visitors to net should appeal on Thursday evening.

Real Betis vs Celtic tips & predictions

Celtic are offered at 1/2 (1.50) to score, while both teams to find the back of the net is priced at an attractive 4/5 (1.80).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors boast an extremely strong squad and they are likely to make it a long evening for the Scottish champions in Glasgow on Thursday night

Rangers welcome Lyon to Ibrox as Steven Gerrard’s side begin their Europa League Group A campaign on Thursday evening.

The hosts have begun the domestic season strongly and sit top of the table after five matches played, yet the visit of the Ligue 1 side to Glasgow will surely be a real test for the Scottish champions. 

Rangers vs Lyon latest odds

Rangers have only lost two home matches in the last 18 months with both of those defeats coming in Europe.

The Glasgow outfit went down 2-1 at home to Malmo in Champions League qualifying in August, while Slavia Prague won 2-0 at Ibrox in March on their way to knocking out Rangers of last season’s Europa League.

A home win for Rangers is priced at 8/5 (2.60) with bet365 while Lyon are available at the same odds and the draw can be backed at 5/2 (3.50).

Rangers are without Ianis Hagi and Ryan Jack, while defender Connor Goldson is self-isolating and remains a serious doubt for the game.

The visitors for their part are without injured quartet Lenny Pintor, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Tino Kadewere and Leo Dubois, while former Celtic striker Moussa Dembele misses out on a return to Glasgow.

Rangers vs Lyon preview

Julien Stephan’s side took a while to get going in Ligue 1 but their last two games have seen them record their first two victories of the campaign.

The Lyon squad is full of established international players and they should be able to cope with the fierce Ibrox atmosphere which will surely await them on Thursday evening.

Lucas Paqueta has both started the season well, and also started both of Brazil’s most recent World Cup qualifiers, and Les Gones surely have enough firepower to trouble a Rangers defence which has conceded in three of their five Scottish Premier League matches this term. 

Rangers vs Lyon tips & predictions

The price of 8/5 (2.60) for an away win will surely be of interest, while backing the visitors to score over 1.5 goals 6/5 (2.20) could also appeal.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have a strong scoring record at home in Europe while the visitors have begun their domestic season impressively so there should be goals

Thursday night sees Leicester City welcome Napoli to the King Power Stadium in Group C of the Europa League, with Brendan Rodgers’ men looking forward to the glamour tie against the Serie A giants.

The visitors have started the season strongly, winning their three opening matches in the Italian top flight, yet the Foxes are favourites to claim a win in the first competitive meeting between the sides.

Leicester City vs Napoli latest odds

The hosts have lost two of their first four Premier League matches this term but Leicester are offered at 6/5 (2.20) with bet365 to begin their European campaign with a victory.

Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli, meanwhile, enjoyed a 2-1 win over Juventus at the weekend to maintain their 100 per cent start and are offered at 11/5 (3.20) with the draw at 5/2 (3.50).

Leicester City vs Napoli team news

The hosts are without long-term absentees James Justin and Wesley Fofana, while full-back Ricardo Pereira was only fit enough to be an unused substitute against Manchester City at the weekend and is a doubt.

Napoli look set to be without captain Lorenzo Insigne who limped off injured during the win over Juventus, while goalkeeper Alex Meret, midfielder Stanislav Lobotka and record scorer Dries Mertens are all sidelined.

Leicester City vs Napoli preview

Napoli’s start to the season has seen them net at least twice in each of their three matches and the Italians are likely to contribute to an open exciting game on Thursday night.

Last season the Serie A side were surprisingly knocked out of the competition in the last 32 by European debutants Granada, but the appointment of Luciano Spalletti as coach should bring more stability to the side and the Partenopei will be hoping to advance to the latter stages of the competition.

Leicester for their part were extremely strong at home in last season’s tournament, winning their three group games without conceding a goal and scoring nine times in the process, and Rodgers’ team will fancy their chances despite being up against strong opposition.

Leicester City vs Napoli tips & predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at evens (2.00) and looks an obvious selection given that both sides are more impressive going forward than they are defensively.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams looking shaky at the back, Al Hain-Cole expects another high-scoring Premier League clash between the Magpies and Bielsa's men

Newcastle and Leeds will both be hoping for their first wins of the Premier League season when they meet at St James’ Park on Friday.

Steve Bruce’s men have taken just one point from their opening four league fixtures, as well as suffering a penalty shootout defeat to Burnley in the Carabao Cup.

Newcastle vs Leeds latest odds

Having won just three of their last 15 league matches on home turf, Newcastle are 2/1 (3.00) outsiders with bet365 to get up and running with a long-awaited victory here.

Leeds are ahead of their opponents by a point after two defeats and two draws but can be backed at 13/10 (2.30) to go four points ahead by coming out on top.

The hosts conceded a late equaliser to draw 2-2 with Southampton in their last home game, and you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them being held to another stalemate in this one.

Paul Dummett, Ciaran Clark, Javier Manquillo, Joe Willock, Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson will all face late fitness tests, while Martin Dubravka and Jonjo Shelvey are definitely ruled out.

Pascal Struijk is suspended after his red card against Liverpool, while Diego Llorente, Robin Koch and Adam Forshaw are all injured.

Newcastle vs Leeds preview

Last season’s meetings between this pair were both entertaining affairs, with Marcelo Bielsa’s men running out 5-2 winners at Elland Road before edging the away clash 2-1.

More goalmouth action seems likely considering both teams’ poor defensive displays so far this season, conceding 23 goals between them after just four fixtures.

What’s more, the visitors could be forced to field a makeshift backline given their injuries and suspensions, while the Magpies are also still far from full strength at the moment.

On the other hand, there shouldn’t be too much wrong with either team’s attack given Newcastle have only failed to score in four of their last 26 league matches in their own backyard and Leeds have found the net in four of their five matches this campaign.

Newcastle vs Leeds tips & predictions

Indeed, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem like decent value on both teams getting on target and over 2.5 goals being scored for the third encounter in a row between this duo.

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

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Al Hain-Cole has put together a four-fold accumulator from across this weekend's Premier League games, with the odds adding up to just under 7/1

Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea have made impressive starts to the season and they all feature in  Goal’s four-fold accumulator featuring bets from across the Premier League weekend.

Wolves vs Brentford – Under 2.5 goals at 8/15 (1.53)

It has been a slow start for Bruno Lage at Molineux, having seen his side slip to three consecutive 1-0 Premier League defeats before finally getting off the mark with a 2-0 victory over Watford last time out.

Another tight game looks likely when they take on a Brentford team that have scored just three goals and conceded only two since gaining promotion, making odds of 8/15 (1.53) look solid on under 2.5 goals being scored for both teams’ fifth successive league game.

Man City vs Southampton – Man City to score over 2.5 goals at 4/6 (1.67)

With 16 goals to their name in their three home matches this season, Pep Guardiola’s men will be confident of more action when they take on a Southampton team that they beat 5-2 in last season’s encounter at the Etihad Stadium.

Indeed, the Saints have conceded 38 times in their last 13 away matches in the league, with 4/6 (1.67) odds seeming generous on them shipping three or more against the champions.

West Ham vs Man Utd – Man Utd to win at 3/4 (1.75)

With Michail Antonio suspended, West Ham’s chances of recording a first win in five attempts against Manchester United have taken a significant blow.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are currently enjoying a record 28-match unbeaten run on the road in the Premier League and look well worth 3/4 (1.75) odds to record their third consecutive league win over this opposition.

Tottenham vs Chelsea – Chelsea to win at 3/4 (1.75)

After a strong start under Nuno Espirito Santo, Spurs saw it all come crashing down in a damaging 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace that saw them lose important players to injury and suspension.

With Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura limping off in Thursday’s Europa Conference League draw in Rennes to join Son Heung-Min and Eric Dier on a lengthy injury list, it is hard to see Tottenham avoiding a fifth defeat in six meetings with a Chelsea side that have claimed 10 points from 12 this season and who are available at 3/4 (1.75) .

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Reds boast a superb record in this fixture having scored nine goals against the Eagles last season and another strong showing from them is likely

Liverpool welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon with Jurgen Klopp’s men looking to continue their strong start to the season.

The Reds produced an excellent comeback against AC Milan to win their first Champions League game of the campaign on Wednesday and face a Palace team buoyant after their first victory this term against Tottenham last weekend.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace latest odds

Liverpool have recorded four wins and two draws in their last six home league matches and bet365 price a home win at 1/5 (1.20).

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have lost each of their last 12 games against Liverpool and are offered at 12/1 (13.00) to end that run with a win, while the draw can be backed at 6/1 (7.00). 

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace team news

The hosts are without Roberto Firmino who has not featured since the international break with a thigh injury and Harvey Elliott who suffered a serious ankle injury against Leeds United last weekend and faces an extended period on the sidelines.

Divock Origi was substituted against Milan with cramps but should be available while Neco Williams is a doubt.

The Eagles for their part are without injured trio Jeffrey Schlupp, Nathan Ferguson and Eberechi Eze.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace preview

Klopp’s side have been in strong scoring form this season, netting at least twice in four of their five competitive matches and backing them to get among the goals against Palace makes plenty of sense.

This fixture has seen Liverpool run riot in recent seasons, netting 19 times in their last five games against the side from Selhurst Park and this season Patrick Vieira’s men have already conceded three goals against Chelsea and two goals against West Ham.

Palace have endured some difficult away defeats in 2021 and another tough afternoon looks in store for the capital club at Anfield.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace tips & predictions

The Reds are offered at 5/6 (1.83) to score over 2.5 goals and should be backed once again to put in a strong showing in the final third against the Eagles.
