prediction and reasoning

Chelsea vs Brighton — Both Teams to Score — Chelsea opened the Xabi Alonso era with a breathless 3-2 win at Fulham, with Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer all on target, before a 2-0 League Cup win over Luton. Brighton arrive in buoyant mood after back-to-back 4-0 wins over Aston Villa and Tromso, and the Seagulls have won their last three league meetings with the Blues, scoring three in each. With both attacks in full flow, goals at both ends at 1.57 is the opening leg.

Leeds vs Brentford — Both Teams to Score — Leeds began life back in the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest before a 2-0 EFL Cup triumph at the City Ground. Brentford were the statement-makers of the opening weekend, hammering Tottenham 3-0 before a 6-1 cup rout of Birmingham. The Bees carry real attacking threat through Igor Thiago and Keane Lewis-Potter, while Leeds will fancy their chances at a rocking Elland Road. Both sides scoring at 1.66 makes plenty of appeal.

Sunderland vs Fulham — Over 2.5 Goals — Sunderland's return to the top flight brought a 2-1 defeat at Ipswich, while Fulham pushed Chelsea all the way in a 3-2 West London derby loss, with Joshua King and Gonzalo Garcia both scoring. The Cottagers then hit three past Wimbledon in the EFL Cup. Neither defence has looked watertight, so Over 2.5 at 2.00 is the value leg of the card.

Manchester United to Win — United were stunned 2-0 at Hull on the opening day, but a response is expected at Old Trafford against newly-promoted Ipswich, who edged Sunderland 2-1 at Portman Road. Home advantage against a side tipped for a relegation battle, with Marcus Rashford pushing for a start, makes the Red Devils a solid anchor at 1.38.

SC Freiburg to Win — Freiburg open their Bundesliga campaign at the Europa-Park Stadion in fine fettle, coming off an emphatic European qualifying run and a commanding cup outing. Werder Bremen arrive having closed their own pre-season strongly, but the hosts' home record and momentum make them a confident pick at 1.85.

Inter Milan to Win — The champions started their title defence with a 4-1 demolition of Monza and have taken 28 points from the last 30 available against Cagliari, averaging 2.6 goals per game in the process. Cagliari have lost six straight home games to Inter, failing to score in the last three, and Lautaro Martinez has 12 goals in 12 Serie A meetings with the Rossoblu. Inter to win at 1.40 closes the acca.
