Liverpool vs Everton

The Merseyside derby is rarely flowing in goals and we predict a low-scoring Liverpool victory when they host neighbours Everton on Saturday.

That was the outcome in the corresponding fixture last term, and only one of the last seven meetings has featured three or more goals while one or both sides have failed to score in six of the last seven derbies to add extra weight to backing another tight encounter.

Liverpool had to endure a gruelling scrap with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday and that 3-2 victory could have taken plenty out of red legs. That gives the home side little time to recover, while Everton had had their feet in preparation for this lunchtime showdown.

Everton boss David Moyes will set his side up to frustrate their bitter rivals so a free flowing contest looks highly unlikely.

The Toffee’s last Anfield win came in the aftermath of Covid in 2021, but they have since suffered four straight losses at the venue, failing to score in each.

Moyes’s men look in the best shape they have been in a while, so there is a chance they could improve their fortunes, but Liverpool are so strong at the moment and their never-say-die attitude could grind them to another vital victory.

Diogo Jota’s solitary strike landed Liverpool the points on a balmy evening back in May and backing another 1-0 home win looks a solid prediction for correct-score purposes.

Everton have scored in just one of their last six visits to the Reds’ stronghold and their main priority will be to stop Liverpool scoring on Saturday.

The home side will dominate possession but they will be faced with breaking down a solid blue, something the Reds have often struggled with.

Chances could be at a premium but the quality in Liverpool’s ranks suggest they will get through at some point and one moment of magic, as has been the case on several occasions this season, could be enough to seal the points on Saturday.

• Three of Liverpool’s four Premier League wins this season were by a single goal.
• Everton have won just one of the last eight Merseyside derbies.
• Mohamed Salah has four goals in his last six outings against the Toffees.

Prediction: Corner: O 6.5

Manchester United vs Chelsea

Ruben Amorim’s dismal win ratio at Manchester United looks unlikely to receive a boost on Saturday when the Red Devils entertain Chelsea in a crucial Premier League clash. It is crucial for Amorim, who may not hear his name sung as loudly – or at all – by the home fans if his side fail to impress.

And it is also crucial that Chelsea do not let this chance to bounce back after last week’s draw at Brentford pass because any more dropped points would leave them trailing in the wake of Liverpool.

United’s defeat in last weekend’s derby was not unexpected, but the manner in which they caved in was unacceptable in the eyes of their fans. The board are sticking by Amorim for now, but another performance like that could be the final straw.

The stats from the derby, which suggest it should have been a much closer result, paint a false picture because City were always comfortable. Pep Guardiola had been outmaneuvered by Thomas Frank and Fabian Hurzeler in City’s two previous league games, but Amorim was unable to find any answers.

United’s players look shackled by his system and prone to the sort of mistakes that are borne out of not being certain of their responsibilities. If the Portuguese coach has not been able to drum it into them in his first 10 months in charge, then the week he has had following Sunday’s defeat is unlikely to make a difference.

Chelsea remain a work in progress too, but they look happy in Enzo Maresca’s structure and capable of flexibility when the coach wants it. The Blues matched Bayern Munich for most of Wednesday’s 3-1 defeat at Allianz Arena only to be undone by a couple of individual mistakes at the back.

Maresca’s men scored a good goal in Munich and had another effort chalked off for a marginal offside. The Blues have scored nine goals in their last three Premier League games and could maintain that three-goal average at Old Trafford if they exploit the home side’s flaws.

One of those is in central midfield where Bruno Fernandes has been shoehorned into a position that does not suit his defensive deficiencies. When considering an anytime goalscorer bet in United games, first think about which opposing midfielder will run off the back of the United captain into space in the box

• Cole Palmer has scored four goals in four games for Chelsea against Manchester United
• Man Utd have failed to win five of their last seven home Premier League matches, losing three
• Chelsea have avoided defeat in five of their last six away league games, winning three

Prediction: 1-3 G Home

Brighton vs Tottenham Hotspur

Brighton fell to their second defeat of the season at Bournemouth last weekend, and they may find themselves on the wrong end of the result again when an in-form Tottenham pay the Amex Stadium a visit.

The Seagulls may have beaten Manchester City before the international break, but they were poor in losses to Bournemouth and Everton, and they don’t deserve to be priced up as favourites on Saturday.

Tottenham lost the UEFA Super Cup in Thomas Frank’s first game in charge, but since then, they have won four of their five games, including a 1-0 win over Villarreal in their Champions League opener on Tuesday.

They have kept clean sheets in each of these four victories and have beaten both West Ham and Manchester City without conceding away from home, so they look a good price to take another three points on the south coast.

• Tottenham have won four of their last five games without conceding.
• Brighton have lost two of their last three Premier League games.

Prediction: O 2.5

West Ham United vs Crystal Palace

West Ham got off the mark for the 2025/26 season against Nottingham Forest before the international break, but their celebrations were short-lived as they were brought crashing back down to earth in their all-London affair against Spurs last weekend.

The Hammers were beaten 3-0 by their capital rivals, marking their fourth defeat in five competitive matches this term, and Crystal Palace could be the next London club to inflict a defeat upon the beleaguered side.

The Eagles required a penalty shootout to beat Millwall in the EFL Cup in midweek, but they remain unbeaten after eight competitive games this season and look good value for three points on Saturday.

Oliver Glasner’s side have already lifted the Community Shield and have taken points off three of last season’s top seven sides, including a stunning 3-0 win at Aston Villa at the end of August.

They have conceded just twice in seven competitive games since the Premier League began, and that defensive resilience could play a big part against a West Ham side that have failed to score in two of their three league games this term.

• West Ham have lost four of their five competitive games this season, conceding three or more goals in each of them.
• Crystal Palace are unbeaten in eight competitive matches this season.
• Jean-Phillipe Mateta scored both goals in a 2-0 win here last season.

Prediction: Corner: O 4.5 Away

Verona vs Juventus

Relegation candidates Verona missed a chance to strike an early blow in the battle for survival when they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at home by Cremonese on Monday evening, and their lot is unlikely to improve against Juventus.

Verona missed a glut of good opportunities on Monday with attackers, Giovane (eight shots) and Gift Orbane (five shots), the chief culprits, though they are unlikely to see anywhere near as many openings against Juve.

Verona conceded 4.10 in expected goals and 22 shots in a 4-0 loss to Lazio just before the international break, so bettors should expect them to toil against a Juventus side with similar class.

Juve have won a perfect three games out of three in Serie A so far, and their thrilling 4-3 triumph in the Derby d’Italia over rivals Inter Milan last weekend felt like a defining moment for head coach Igor Tudor, who has been trying to break the club free from their cautious tactical traditions.

Juventus enjoyed another four-goal flurry on Tuesday evening, scoring twice deep into injury time to earn a dramatic share of the spoils against Dortmund (4-4) in the Champions League, and with momentum building, the Old Lady should be difficult to stop on Saturday.

• Juventus have won each of their first three fixtures of the new Serie A campaign, keeping two clean sheets along the way.
• Verona are still winless meanwhile, and have scored only once in three Serie A assignments.
• Juventus beat Verona twice last term, running up an aggregate score of 5-0 in the process.

Prediction: 1-3 G Away

Udinese vs AC Milan

AC Milan limped to a shock 2-1 reverse at home to Cremonese on the opening weekend of the new Serie A campaign, though the Rossoneri have played with all the hallmarks of a typical Max Allegri team since.

Back-to-back wins over Lecce (2-0) and Bologna (1-0), either side of the international break, were both accompanied by clean sheets, with Allegri’s famed back-three defensive system at Milan beginning to take shape.

Milan restricted Lecce to just two shots on target in late August, while Bologna failed to land a single accurate effort on goal in their 1-0 loss to Allegri’s side on Sunday. That was the first time Bologna failed to score in a fixture against Milan since 2021.

With Allegri starting to carve this side in his image, we expect a defensive focus from Milan again on Saturday and the under 2.5 goal market offers plenty of appeal as a result.

Unbeaten Udinese have conceded only twice in three Serie A fixtures so far and are similarly risk-averse, so margins are likely to be slim at the Bluenergy Stadium.

Udinese’s unblemished record could be under threat on Saturday, however. They’ve lost each of their last three meetings with Milan and failed to score in two encounters between the clubs last term. With Milan’s 1-0 win over Bologna last weekend providing the blueprint, the defensively robust visitors can prevail by a similar scoreline at Udinese.

• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of AC Milan’s last four matches in league and cup.
• AC Milan have won to nil in each of their last two Serie A fixtures (vs Lecce and Bologna).
• Udinese have lost each of their last three meetings with AC Milan.

Prediction: 1-3 G Away

TSG Hoffenheim vs Bayern Munich

Hoffenheim will give it a go but Bayern Munich’s superior quality should see them run out winners at PreZero Arena on Saturday afternoon. The Sinsheim side have made a superb start to the campaign with three wins out of four in all competitions and a brave display in defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt before the international break.

Christian Ilzer’s side appear to be more clinical in attack and less prone to defensive lapses than last season when they avoided dropping into the relegation play-off position on the Bundesliga’s final weekend.

They bounced back from their loss against Frankfurt with a good win over Union Berlin and have a couple of new stars emerging in the team. Forward Fisnik Asllani impressed on loan at second-tier Elversberg last season and has now hit the ground running in the big league with four goals in four games across all competitions.

Fellow Kosovan kid Leon Avdullahu has made an impact in midfield too and there is renewed hope that Hoffenheim could be heading for a European challenge again. But there is no getting away from how difficult this Saturday’s clash with the reigning champions looks likely to be.

Vincent Kompany’s side saw off Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday to make it six wins on the bounce this season. Harry Kane remains deadly as ever, Michael Olise has blossomed into one of the best wingers in Europe and a defence that looked vulnerable in games last season is now much tighter.

Despite that, Hoffenheim have a good chance of registering on Saturday because of the attacking interplay of Asllani and Andrej Kramaric. Back Bayern to win and both teams to score.

• Bayern Munich have won five of their last seven away Bundesliga matches
• Both teams have scored in five of Bayern’s last seven away league trips
• Hoffenheim have scored in six of their last seven home Bundesliga matches, losing each of their last three

Prediction: Away Win & O 2.5

Real Madrid vs Espanyol

Real Madrid look likely to overwhelm an Espanyol side without their most in-form player when the Parakeets land at the Bernabeu on Saturday. Xabi Alonso’s side have won five matches in a row and demonstrated all the qualities they will need to fight on all fronts when beating Marseille with 10 men on Tuesday.

It was not looking good for Los Blancos when Dani Carvajal was sent off with the scores level at 1-1, but Kylian Mbappe converted a hotly-disputed penalty to ensure they got their Champions League campaign off to a winning start.

The Frenchman now has six goals in five club games this season and, although his anytime goalscorer odds are short, he currently looks like he is going to score every time he walks onto the pitch.  With Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga back in contention to start after injury lay-offs, Alonso can rotate and refresh his line-up from midweek.

Espanyol are also unbeaten this season after battling to a 3-2 home win over Real Mallorca on Monday. They looked comfortable at 2-0 up in the first half, but a penalty/red card incident gifted Mallorca a route back into the game on the stroke of half-time.

The Parakeets dug deep to find a way, despite facing a barrage of shots in the second half. However, they will now miss suspended in-form star Pere Milla at the Bernabeu and that will significantly reduce their chances of earning any points.

• Real Madrid have won all five matches this season, scoring multiple goals in each of the last four
• Espanyol have conceded at least two goals in two of their last three La Liga matches
• Kylian Mbappe has scored six goals in five games for Real Madrid this season

Prediction: Corner: O 4.5 Home

Arsenal vs Manchester City

Arsenal and Manchester City both opened their Champions League campaigns with a win in midweek, but the going may be tougher on Sunday when they meet in this huge clash at the top of the Premier League table.

The Citizens have already lost twice this season and could fall nine points behind Liverpool if they lose at the Emirates, while the hosting Gunners will hope to keep pace with the defending champions by inflicting another defeat on Pep Guardiola’s side.

However, goals may be difficult to come by after both teams kept their second successive clean sheet in midweek.

Mikel Arteta’s side have conceded just one goal in five competitive matches this season, with three of those outings featuring fewer than three goals, while Manchester City have kept three clean sheets in their five fixtures.

While last season’s meetings between this pair produced a massive ten goals, the three encounters before that featured three goals in total, and another low-scoring affair looks the best bet on Sunday.

While a lot of criticism has been levelled at Manchester City, they have only lost one more game than their opponents and have only been beaten by Arsenal in one of their last 13 meetings.

• Arsenal and Manchester City have kept eight clean sheets in ten combined matches this season.
• Manchester City have only lost one of their last 13 meetings with Arsenal.
• Erling Haaland has 12 goals in seven competitive games for club and country this season.

Prediction: Corner O 8.5

Lazio vs Roma

City rivals Lazio and Roma will renew their century-long rivalry in the Derby della Capitale on Sunday, though the fixture’s recent history suggests we should expect little goalmouth action at the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma are still adapting to life under Gian Piero Gasperini, and though their new coach had a reputation for building attack-minded teams at former club Atalanta, defensive solidity has been the hallmark of Roma’s performances under his direction so far.

The Giallorossi started the Serie A campaign with back-to-back 1-0 wins over Bologna and Pisa, before conceding just once in a surprise loss to Torino just after the international break.

Six points from nine represents a solid start for Gasperini however, who currently hold the division’s joint-best defensive record alongside defending champions Napoli.

• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in 100% of the last seven meetings between Lazio and Roma.
• Roma have lost only one of the last five editions of the Derby della Capitale.
• Both of Roma’s two Serie A victories this season have finished 1-0 in their favour.

Prediction: U 3.5

Inter Milan vs Sassuolo

Inter Milan welcomed the chance to escape their domestic frustrations in midweek when they travelled to Amsterdam to beat Ajax 2-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

A period of adjustment was expected for Inter following the departure of popular boss and serial winner Simone Inzaghi in June, though a return of two defeats from three Serie A fixtures was still seen as an underperformance.

There are likely to be more bumps in the road for new head coach Cristian Chivu in the season’s early exchanges while he settles into the role, and Sunday’s encounter with newly-promoted Sassuolo has the makings of another awkward test.

Sassuolo have lost twice in three Serie A fixtures since their return to the top of the Italian football pyramid, though they were far from disgraced in a 2-0 loss to Napoli in their first fixture of the campaign.

They couldn’t match those heights against Cremonese (3-2), but rebounded to beat Lazio (1-0) last weekend and buoyed by that showing, they could score again against an Inter side that conceded six times in their last two Serie A fixtures.

Inter have the quality to bite back, however. French forward Marcus Thuram is in excellent form and bagged his fourth and fifth goals of the season against Ajax in midweek, while his usual foil in attack, Lautaro Martinez, was fit enough to earn a place on the bench in Amsterdam.

• Both teams have scored in each of Inter Milan’s last two Premier League matches.
• Sassuolo have lost two of their first three fixtures of the new Serie A campaign.
• Sassuolo have scored at least once in three of their four games in league and cup this term.

Prediction: Inter Wins

Barcelona vs Getafe

With Marcus Rashford providing inspiration, Barcelona opened their account in the Champions League with a hard-earned 2-1 win at Newcastle on Thursday evening, and their meeting with Getafe on Sunday could present similar challenges.

An electric Rashford scored both of Barca’s goals at St. James’ Park in midweek, though his stunning second – a thunderbolt from distance – proved decisive and Barcelona might need some more individual brilliance to crack a well-marshalled Getafe defence.

Getafe have been tricky opponents for Barcelona in recent seasons. They held the La Liga champions to a 1-1 draw when the teams last met in January and limited Barca to a 1-0 win when the teams last met in Catalonia.

In fact, six of the last seven tussles between the clubs have produced under 2.5 goals, so a wide-margin victory for Barcelona on Sunday shouldn’t be expected, especially with fatigue likely to take effect following their taxing trip to Newcastle.

Getafe have conceded just four goals in four La Liga fixtures since the summer and while they might eventually lose at the Estadi Johan Cruyff Stadium, they are fancied to keep the score to respectable levels.

With that in mind, combining a home win with under 4.5 goals looks like a decent route to profit, while a 1-0 Barcelona victory is advised for our correct score prediction. Barca eked out a 1-0 win in two of their last three home meetings with Getafe and a similar outcome looks possible on Sunday.

• Barcelona have won four and drawn one of their last five matches in all competitions.
• Two of the last three meetings between the clubs in Catalonia have finished 1-0 to Barcelona.
• Six of the last seven encounters between Barcelona and Getafe have produced under 2.5 goals.
