class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Erling Haaland in devastating form there should be plenty of interest in backing Dortmund to keep their great scoring run going this weekend

Borussia Dortmund travel to the SC-Stadion on Saturday to face Freiburg with Marco Rose’s men looking for their second win of the Bundesliga season.

The new manager saw his side beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-2 last weekend before losing 3-1 to Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup in midweek, and Dortmund are well-fancied to rack up the goals once more on their trip to the south of the country. 

Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund latest odds

Freiburg recorded a memorable win in this fixture last season beating Dortmund 2-1 and another home success is priced at 9/2 (5.50) with bet365.

Dortmund, for their part, are offered at 1/2 (1.50) with the visitors currently on an eight-match winning streak in the Bundesliga, while the draw can be backed at 15/4 (4.75).

Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund team news

The hosts can no longer call upon the services of Baptiste Santamaria with the midfielder, who was a key part of the team last season, moving to Rennes in midweek.

Dortmund, meanwhile, are without Raphael Guerreiro, Thomas Meunier and Julian Brandt while Mats Hummels, Emre Can and Thorgan Hazard are all doubts for the clash.

Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund preview

There has been plenty of speculation surrounding the future of Erling Haaland but the Dortmund striker has not let any transfer talk affect his performances.

A hat-trick in the DFB Pokal was followed up by a brace in the first Bundesliga game of the season and there is little doubt that the Norwegian is currently one of the deadliest forwards in the game.

Indeed, Haaland is offered at just 1/3 (1.33) to score at anytime, an indication of just how impressive his form has been, although it is not just his scoring that makes him such an extraordinary player.

The 21-year-old also racked up a hat-trick of assists last weekend and with him on the pitch there is every chance that Dortmund will be involved in another high-scoring clash. 

Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund tips & predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is offered at 4/5 (1.80) while over 3.5 goals in the game looks to offer excellent value at 6/5 (2.20).

The visitors to score over 2.5 goals at 11/8 (2.38) is also worthy of serious consideration and is a selection which has paid out in six of their last eight Bundesliga matches.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Blues are well fancied to clearly beat their newly-promoted opponents and Goal is backing a high-scoring home win on Saturday in Manchester

Manchester City welcome Norwich City to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon as Pep Guardiola’s men look for their first points of the Premier League season.

The defending champions were beaten on their trip to Tottenham last weekend, although the Blues are overwhelming favourites to claim three points on Saturday against the newly-promoted Canaries.

Manchester City vs Norwich City latest odds

The last meeting between these two sides in Manchester saw City run out 5-0 winners in the 2019-20 season and another victory can be backed at 1/12 (1.08) with bet365.

Norwich are priced at 25/1 (26.00) to claim their first Premier League win since February 2020, with the draw offered at 10/1 (11.00) .

Manchester City vs Norwich City team news

City are still without Phil Foden, although they should have Ilkay Gundogan available despite the former Borussia Dortmund player suffering a shoulder injury last week.

Gundogan has trained as normal and should be available.

Norwich, meanwhile, are without Przemyslaw Placheta and Sam Byram while Onel Hernandez and Jordan Hugill are rated as 50/50.

Manchester City vs Norwich City preview

The defending champions could not have hand-picked a better match from which to bounce back from the disappointment of last week’s defeat.

Norwich were roundly beaten 3-0 by Liverpool in their opening clash and the Canaries’ daunting start to the new campaign is likely to go from bad to worse.

City were ominous in their own stadium last term, scoring 43 goals in 19 games, and Guardiola’s men should be able to rack up the goals against one of the division’s weakest-looking sides.

The Blues scored more than three goals at home in the 2020-21 season against Burnley, Crystal Palace, Everton, Wolves and Southampton and another high-scoring home win looks on the cards this weekend.

Manchester City vs Norwich City tips & predictions

The hosts can be backed at 11/8 (2.38) to win and score over 3.5 goals which looks like a good way to get City onside in an extremely one-sided market. 

City to win and over 3.5 goals in the game could also appeal at 10/11 (1.91) .

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both sides providing plenty of goalmouth action at both ends, Al Hain-Cole expects the Seagulls and Xisco's men to each get on the scoresheet

Brighton and Watford will both be aiming to maintain their winning starts to the Premier League campaign when they meet at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

The Seagulls came from behind to beat Burnley in their opening encounter last weekend, with goals from Neal Maupay and Alexis Mac Allister overturning James Tarkowski’s early opener.

Brighton vs Watford latest odds

Unbeaten in five league matches on home turf, Brighton are 7/10 (1.70) favourites with bet365 to make it six points from six with another victory here.

Xisco’s Watford enjoyed an impressive return to the top flight by beating Aston Villa 3-2 at Vicarage Road but are 17/4 (5.25) outsiders to make it two wins in a row.

Both of the last two meetings between this duo at this ground have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them playing out yet another stalemate in this one.

Brighton vs Watford team news

Joel Veltman, Tariq Lamptey, Danny Welbeck  and Aaron Connolly could be in contention after missing the first game, although Kjell Scherpen and  Dan Burn  remain sidelined.

Josh King and Joao Pedro are both ruled out due to injury, while Nathaniel Chalobah could be back following illness and Domingos Quina will be assessed after returning to training.

Brighton vs Watford preview

Having gone three goals up within the first two-thirds of the match, the Hornets were grateful to eventually hold on to victory as Villa scored twice to make for a slightly nervy finish last time out.

While the attacking endeavour will have given them plenty of confidence for a trip to a Brighton team that have now gone seven matches without a clean sheet, they may need to improve their defensive game if they are to extend their winning start.

Indeed, Graham Potter’s team have only failed to score in one of their last six league games and put three goals past champions Manchester City in their final home game of the last campaign.

Brighton vs Watford predictions

On current form, odds of 21/20 (2.05) seem generous on both the hosts and Watford getting on target in an entertaining clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Catalans got off to a winning start last weekend and they should be able to record another victory in their first away game of the Liga season

Barcelona travel to the Estadio San Mames on Saturday evening to face Athletic Club with Ronald Koeman’s men aiming to keep up their positive start to the Liga season.

The Blaugrana put in a strong performance last weekend at Camp Nou to win 4-2 against Real Sociedad in what was the first encounter in the post-Lionel Messi era.

Athletic, meanwhile, were held to a goalless draw at Elche in their season opener, although the Basques always tend to raise their game when Barcelona visit Bilbao. 

Athletic Club vs Barcelona latest odds

The two league meetings between these sides last season saw Barca triumph by a one-goal margin on both occasions, winning 3-2 in Bilbao and 2-1 at Camp Nou.

Another victory for Barcelona is priced at 17/20 (1.85) with bet365 while Athletic can be backed at 3/1 (4.00) and Marcelino Garcia’s team recorded a memorable win over the Blaugrana in the Spanish Super Cup in January.

Athletic Club vs Barcelona team news

The hosts remain without Yuri Berchiche and Inigo Cordoba, while Ander Capa is a major doubt at right-back.

Raul Garcia should return up front after missing the opening game through suspension while Yeray Alvarez could also return having been sidelined through injury for the opening match.

Goalkeeper Unai Simon has taken some time off after a busy summer with the Spain national team.

Barca are still without goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen as well as forwards Ousmane Dembele, Ansu Fati and Sergio Aguero.

Athletic Club vs Barcelona preview

The first game without Lionel Messi was extremely promising from Barcelona, with the front three of Martin Braithwaite, Memphis Depay and Antoine Griezmann all playing and combining well.

The attacking trident for the Catalans will be the same on Saturday and will surely find some joy against an Athletic side who could be missing three of their first-choice back four as well as their number one goalkeeper.

The Basques also have a problem in the final third and a lack of a killer instinct cost them in plenty of matches last season.

Without an out-an-out striker Athletic’s forward problems are likely to continue this term and Barcelona should be able to record another victory this weekend against Basque opposition. 

Athletic Club vs Barcelona tips & predictions

The price of 17/20 (1.85) for an away win looks tempting, while backing Barca to win and score over 1.5 goals at 5/4 (2.25) should also appeal.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having put 12 goals past the Saints in two games last season, Al Hain-Cole is backing Solskjaer's men to enjoy a high-scoring win at St Mary's

Southampton could be forgiven for fearing the worst when Manchester United visit St Mary’s for Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The Saints were thrashed 9-0 in their last encounter with this opposition, who kicked off this campaign with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Leeds last weekend.

Southampton vs Manchester United latest odds

Having opened their season with a 3-1 defeat at Everton, Southampton are 19/4 (5.75) outsiders with bet365 to go some way to banishing the memories of that record defeat by pulling off a victory here.

Unbeaten in 26 league matches on the road, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Man Utd are clear 4/7 (1.57) favourites to come back to haunt their opponents by coming out on top.

Three of the last five meetings between this pair at this ground have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 3/1 (4.0) available on them cancelling each other out once again on this occasion.

Long-term absentees Sam McQueen and Will Smallbone remain the only injury concerns for the home team coming into this clash.

Dean Henderson and Jesse Lingard could return following Covid-19-related absences, with Raphael Varane hoping to make his debut and Edinson Cavani in contention. Marcus Rashford and Alex Telles remain out through injury.

Southampton vs Manchester United preview

Having shipped 12 goals over the course of two league matches against the Red Devils last season, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men will have been spooked to see them open the campaign in free-scoring form against Leeds.

With the likes of Cavani and new signing Jadon Sancho potentially adding their dangerous talents to the attack, a Southampton defence that is yet to replace Leicester-bound Jannik Vestergaard could be in for another chastening 90 minutes.

Nevertheless, having failed to score in just two of their last 11 league matches in their own backyard, the hosts will also back themselves to contribute to an entertaining game between two sides that have averaged almost five goals per game over the last six meetings.

Southampton vs Manchester United tips & predictions

Considering United’s excellent away record and array of in-form attackers, odds of 7/5 (2.40) look too good to pass up on them getting the better of a game that features over 2.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having overseen an impressive victory against the champions on his debut, Al Hain-Cole expects Nuno to come back to haunt his former club

Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping to enjoy a winning return to Molineux when his Tottenham team take on Wolves on Sunday.

The Portuguese manager left the Black Country in the summer after four successful years that saw him guide the team from the Championship back into the Premier League and European qualification.

Wolves vs Tottenham latest odds

Having overseen an impressive 1-0 victory over Manchester City in his first match in charge of his new side, Nuno’s Tottenham are available at 13/10 (2.30) with bet365 to come back to haunt his old fans with another win here.

Wolves slumped to a 1-0 defeat at Leicester in their opening game but can be backed at 23/10 (3.30) to bounce back with a big win against their former boss.

Last season’s meeting at this ground resulted in a 1-1 draw, and there are odds of 11/5 (3.20) available on this one also finishing up all square.

Wolves vs Tottenham team news

Willy Boly, Yerson Mosquera, Jonny, Daniel Podence and Pedro Neto are all ruled out through injury for the home team.

It remains to be seen whether Harry Kane will be involved after missing the opening win against City, having been left out of the squad for Thursday’s Europa League defeat against Pacos de Ferreira apparently to work on his match fitness.

Wolves vs Tottenham preview

While his departure was not greeted with universal despair among the Molineux faithful, there is no question that Nuno has left big shoes to fill after all he achieved at the club.

Indeed, his replacement Bruno Lage is faced with a difficult challenge to match the expectations of at least a mid-table finish, particularly given the injuries he is forced to contend with as he begins life in a new league.

Lage has also taken over a team that looked on a downwards trajectory after finishing last season with just three wins from the final 13 league matches, and has overseen some mixed results in pre-season.

Wolves vs Tottenham predictions

In contrast, Spurs are on a high after an extremely positive summer and the excellent win over Manchester City, so could well be worth backing at those 13/10 (2.30) odds on Sunday.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Bavarians boast an excellent record in this fixture and should be able to record another high-scoring victory against Steffen Baumgart's team

Bayern Munich welcome Koln to the Allianz Arena on Sunday afternoon with the defending Bundesliga champions looking for their first league win of the new season.

Julian Nagelsman’s side were held to a 1-1 draw by Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend but are clear favourites to pick up three points on matchday two as they face a team against whom they boast an excellent record.

Bayern Munich vs Koln latest odds

The last 14 Bundesliga clashes between these two historic clubs have brought 13 Bayern wins and one draw, and another triumph for the Bavarians is priced at 1/9 (1.11) with bet365.

Koln’s last win in Munich came in 2009 and they are available at 15/1 (16.00) with the draw at 10/1 (11.00).

Bayern Munich vs Koln team news

Manuel Neuer is a doubt for the hosts having picked up a knock in training, meaning there could be a rare outing for Sven Ulreich.

French defenders Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez remain sidelined while their compatriot Kingsley Coman is unlikely to feature after coming off against Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup in midweek.

Koln are missing defenders Jannes Horn and Timo Hubers. 

Bayern Munich vs Koln preview

Bayern are unbeaten at home in the Bundesliga since November 2019 and that record is unlikely to be threatened this weekend.

Koln’s last visit to the Allianz Arena saw them beaten 5-1 and that was one of 10 matches last season where Bayern scored at least four times in their own stadium.

Nagelsman’s men will look to follow up their midweek Super Cup triumph with their first league win of the season and Robert Lewandowski will be confident of adding to his tally of seven goals in his last six games against Koln.

Steffen Baumgart’s side narrowly avoided relegation last season and on the road they managed just 14 goals in 17 matches.

Bayern Munich vs Koln tips & predictions

Bayern to win with a -2 handicap at 10/11 (1.91) looks like the best way of getting the hosts onside, with this selection paying out comfortably on numerous occasions at the Allianz Arena last season.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Gunners at a low ebb after their opening defeat, Al Hain-Cole is backing Tuchel's men to ease to victory at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday

Click Here: Marquinhos Jersey Sale

Arsenal will be determined to bounce back from their disappointing opening defeat to Brentford when they welcome Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s men were soundly beaten 2-0 by their newly-promoted opponents, putting early pressure on the under-fire manager.

Arsenal vs Chelsea latest odds

However, having come out on top in each of the last three meetings with this opposition, Arsenal are available at 15/4 (4.75)   with bet365 to put that result behind them with a high-profile victory here.

Chelsea eased to a 3-0 victory at home to Crystal Palace in their opener and are clear 3/4 (1.75)  favourites to build on that with a victory over their London rivals.

Just one of the last nine meetings between this duo has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 11/4 (3.75)   on them sharing the spoils in this one.

Arsenal vs Chelsea team news

Alexandre Lacazette will miss out after testing positive for coronavirus before the Brentford game but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be assessed, while Gabriel Magalhaes, Thomas Partey and Eddie Nketiah are injured.

N’Golo Kante and new signing Romelu Lukaku are in contention to play, although Ruben Loftus-Cheek is unavailable due to Covid-19 and Hakim Ziyech injured.

Arsenal vs Chelsea preview

After finishing the last season in strong form with five successive wins, the Gunners will have started the summer in an optimistic mood ahead of the upcoming campaign.

However, a run of disappointing pre-season friendly defeats against Hibs, Chelsea and Tottenham may have caused slight concern, which was only reinforced by the poor display at the Brentford Community Stadium last week.

With confidence at a low, they will be up against it to frustrate a team that are on a high after last season’s Champions League success and which have just welcomed back Lukaku in a club-record deal.

Indeed, Thomas Tuchel was able to field an under-strength side and still enjoy a comfortable 3-0 victory over Palace last weekend, underlining the strength in depth at his disposal.

Arsenal vs Chelsea tips & predictions

All in all, those 3/4 (1.75)   odds look like good value on the visitors compounding Arsenal’s misery by coming out on top at the Emirates Stadium.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The 37-time Serie A champions begin the 2021-22 campaign in the north-east corner of Italy and they are good value to record a solid victory

Juventus travel to the Dacia Arena on Sunday to face Udinese on the opening weekend of the Serie A season.

After last season’s highly-disappointing campaign which saw them scrape fourth place on the final day of the season, the Turin giants will be looking to reclaim the title they had won in each of the nine previous years.

Udinese for their part have had some high-profile departures over the summer and may find it difficult to improve on last season’s 14th place.

Udinese vs Juventus latest odds

Juve won both meetings between the sides last season triumphing 2-1 in Udine and 4-1 in Turin.

Another victory for Allegri’s side can be backed at 9/20 (1.45)   with bet365 while Udinese  are offered at 13/2 (7.50)   with the draw at 10/3 (4.33).

The hosts for their part have few injury concerns with Ilija Nestorovski the only player missing with a long-term problem.

Udinese vs Juventus preview

It is imperative for Juve that they get off to a winning start and convert some of the disappointing draws from last term on the road into wins.

The 2020-21 campaign saw Juve drop points away to the likes of Crotone, Benevento, Verona and Torino, and Allegri will be looking to regain the side’s winning mentality which saw them grind out wins even without playing to their best.

During the coach’s first spell in charge, the club won five consecutive titles and Allegri knows how to get the best out of his players.

Against an Udinese team weakened by the departures of Rodrigo de Paul and Juan Musso, Juve should be able to get off to a solid winning start.

Udinese vs Juventus tips & predictions

The price of 11/10 (2.10)   for the visitors to keep a clean sheet should appeal, while Juve to win and under 3.5 goals looks a strong selection at 23/20 (2.15).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The side from Valencia beat Los Blancos at the start of the year and Goal is backing them to be involved in another exciting encounter this weekend

Real Madrid travel to the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia to face Levante on Sunday evening with Carlo Ancelotti’s men looking for their second win of the season.

Los Blancos were victorious by a 4-1 scoreline in their season opener against Alaves last weekend but will be wary of a Levante team who in recent years have caused them real problems.

Indeed, Madrid have only won three of their last eight meetings with Los Granotas and another tough evening could be in prospect for the side from the Spanish capital. 

Levante vs Real Madrid latest odds

Paco Lopez’s men were the last side to beat Real Madrid in La Liga, with Los Blancos unbeaten since that 2-1 defeat at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano in January.

The hosts began their campaign last weekend with a 1-1 draw at Cadiz, although it was a game they should have comfortably put to bed before conceding a 97th minute equaliser.

Levante are offered at 4/1 (5.00) with bet365 to claim a success on Sunday night while Madrid are priced at 3/5 (1.60) and the draw at 10/3 (4.33).

Levante vs Real Madrid team news

New signing Roberto Soldado picked up an injury in his debut for Levante last weekend at Cadiz and will be out for a month.

Madrid for their part are without Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Ferland Mendy, while Dani Carvajal is a doubt. 

Levante vs Real Madrid preview

Few teams have been able to compete as consistently against the division’s biggest sides as Levante have done under Paco Lopez.

Last season they beat both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid while drawing with Barcelona, and their fearless attacking style has certainly paid dividends.

In Roger Marti and Jose Luis Morales they boast two strikers who are genuine goal threats, with the latter having scored some of La Liga’s best strikes in recent seasons.

This should be an open, entertaining encounter and the hosts are likely to make Madrid work extremely hard. 

Levante vs Real Madrid tips & predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is offered at the healthy price of 20/21 (1.98) and has paid out in five of the last seven meetings between these two teams.
