class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Carlo Ancelotti's men begin their quest for a 35th La Liga title on Saturday evening in the Basque Country where a low-scoring game looks likely

Real Madrid begin their La Liga campaign on Saturday evening with a visit to the Estadio Mendizorroza to face Alaves.

It has been a summer of major upheaval at the Bernabeu with Sergio Ramos and Rafael Varane following manager Zinedine Zidane out of the door, three stalwarts of Los Blancos’ success over the last five years.

Carlo Ancelotti has returned to the Spanish capital for a second spell at the helm, and the Italian has been charged with trying to make the best of what he has knowing there will be little in terms of transfers coming in for the 13-time European champions. 

Alaves vs Real Madrid latest odds

Alaves ended the previous campaign strongly, winning three and drawing one of their last four league games and bet365 offer Javi Calleja’s men at 11/2 (6.50).

Real Madrid, for their part, can be backed at 2/5 (1.40) with the draw available at 15/4 (4.75).

Alaves vs Real Madrid team news

The Basques are without new signing Mamadou Loum with the Senegalese midfielder suffering a thigh injury.

Madrid are without first-choice left-back Ferland Mendy so Ancelotti will have to decide between club captain Marcelo and impressive youngster Miguel Gutierrez.

Toni Kroos is likely to miss out in midfield through injury while Dani Ceballos is back at the club after a two-season loan but unavailable with a ligament problem. 

Alaves vs Real Madrid preview

Real Madrid have not lost their opening match of the season since 2008 and Ancelotti’s men should be able to keep that unbeaten record going this weekend.

Whether they produce a scintillating performance is perhaps more in doubt and much will depend on the physical condition of Karim Benzema.

The French striker was the fulcrum of Madrid’s attacking play last season but caught coronavirus in the final week of July.

His preparation therefore for the new campaign has been hampered and Los Blancos will need him at his best given his importance to the side.

Madrid will also need other players to share the burden of scoring this term, with last season seeing them overly reliant on Benzema for goals and the side often lacking a killer instinct in the final third.

16 of Madrid’s last 19 La Liga matches have seen under 3.5 goals and a repeat on Saturday night looks likely.

Alaves vs Real Madrid tips & predictions

Real Madrid to win and under 3.5 goals in the game is priced at 5/4 (2.25) and looks like an attractive option for this weekend’s clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having both finished last season in prolific form, Al Hain-Cole expects an entertaining Premier League opener between Bruce's men and the Hammers

Newcastle United will be hoping to pick up where they left off when they welcome West Ham to St James’ Park in their opening Premier League clash on Sunday.

After flirting with relegation for much of last season, the Magpies finished strongly by claiming five wins from their last eight matches in the league.

Newcastle United vs West Ham latest odds

Having won three and lost none of their last four games against this opposition, Newcastle are priced at 11/5 (3.20) with bet365 to extend their strong record with another victory.

David Moyes’ West Ham enjoyed their best top-flight season since 1998-99 by finishing in sixth place last time out and are 23/20 (2.15) favourites to get up and running by coming out on top here.

Just one of the last 13 meetings between this duo has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Newcastle United vs West Ham team news

Martin Dubravka, Kai Darlow and Paul Dummett are all ruled out due to injury, while new signing Joe Willock completed his move from Arsenal too late to take part in this game.

Angelo Ogbonna, Arthur Masuaku and Manuel Lanzini will all face late fitness tests as they race to recover from injury in time for the season’s opener.

Newcastle United vs West Ham preview

While their final-day clash with Fulham had at one point been earmarked as a potential relegation decider, Steve Bruce’s team actually went into that game a full 14 points clear of their already-doomed opponents.

Indeed, it was not just the points on the board that impressed during that late-season surge, but the belated discovery of a cutting edge in front of goal that saw them score 18 times in the final nine fixtures – including seven goals in two matches against Leicester and Manchester City.

Meanwhile, the Hammers also finished last season in prolific fashion, hitting the net 11 times in their last five league games on the road.

Newcastle United vs West Ham predictions

With both teams maintaining that free-scoring form in their respective pre-season fixtures, odds of 3/4 (1.75) look well worth backing on both Newcastle and West Ham getting on target for their fourth encounter in five.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Boasting a strong record against this opposition, Al Hain-Cole is backing Nuno to ensure another tricky north London trip for City

Manchester City will begin the defence of their Premier League crown when they travel to north London to take on Tottenham on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola’s men secured their third title in four years last season, taking the trophy back from Liverpool and finishing top by a comfortable 12-point margin.

Tottenham vs Manchester City latest odds

Having recorded a Carabao Cup final victory over this opposition when they last met back in April, Man City are 3/5 (1.60) favourites with bet365 to getting off to a winning start here.

However, Spurs have actually come out on top in each of their last three home games against Pep Guardiola’s side and are available at 9/2 (5.50) to cause an upset by making it four in a row at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Just one of the previous 11 meetings between these sides has resulted in a draw, but there are odds of 16/5 (4.20) available on this one finishing all square.

Tottenham vs Manchester City team news

Harry Kane is a doubt as speculation over his future continues, while new signings Cristian Romero and Bryan Gil are both unlikely to feature due to injury and match fitness respectively.

Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden are both ruled out with injuries they picked up on international duty at Euro 2020 and Aymeric Laporte is not available after entering Covid-19 isolation.

Tottenham vs Manchester City preview

While Nuno Espirito Santo could on paper hardly have asked for a more difficult first game in charge, the Portuguese manager will probably be feeling quietly confident of securing a result.

The former Wolves boss lost just three of his seven meetings against this opposition during his time at Molineux, and oversaw a memorable league double during the 2019-20 campaign.

Having slumped to a 1-0 Community Shield defeat against Leicester last weekend with an admittedly weakened line-up, a City side missing some key players are not in the best shape to improve on their poor record in this part of north London.

Tottenham vs Manchester City tips & predictions

With Kane potentially missing in action too, odds of 10/11 (1.91) look like decent value on a tight match producing under 2.5 goals for the fourth meeting in five between Tottenham and Manchester City.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>For the first time in 17 years Barcelona begin a La Liga season without Lionel Messi and their opponents on Sunday are likely to cause them problems

It has been a tumultuous summer for Barcelona but the start of the new La Liga season offers a chance for Ronald Koeman’s side to try and put Lionel Messi’s departure behind them.

The Catalans welcome Real Sociedad to Camp Nou on Sunday evening and know they will face a stern test against one of the division’s most impressive sides last term.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad latest odds

Barcelona boast an extraordinary home record against the team from the city of San Sebastian with La Real’s last victory at Camp Nou coming in 1991.

Sociedad are priced at 7/2 (4.50) with bet365 to end the 30-year wait for a win, while the hosts are offered at 8/11 (1.72) a price that will surely attract attention.

The draw can be backed at 3/1 (4.00).

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad team news

Problems off the field mean that Barcelona have been so far unable to register three of their new signings.

Eric Garcia and Memphis Depay are fit and ready to make their debuts for Barca but the club are unlikely to have registered them in time for the clash.

The other new face Sergio Aguero has picked up an injury and will not be registered until he is fully fit.

The absence of Depay will be keenly felt, with the departure of Messi and the injuries to Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati making Antoine Griezmann and Martin Braithwaite the only fit forwards available.

La Real meanwhile had three players competing with Spain at the Olympics and it remains to be seen whether Mikel Merino, Mikel Oyarzabal and Martin Zubimendi will feature.

Full-back Diego Rico is injured for the visitors as is new signing goalkeeper Matthew Ryan.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad preview

Barca are at their lowest ebb for many years, with the loss of Messi set to have a major impact on the side.

Last season he led the team in goals scored, assists, shots per game, dribbles per game, as well as several other metrics and the side will have to find a new way of playing without the man who has been their attacking fulcrum for over a decade.

La Real meanwhile will feel they may never have a better chance to end their long winless streak at Camp Nou, with Imanol Alguacil boasting an extremely talented squad and facing a Blaugrana side low on confidence.

Last season the Basques were one of the top scoring sides in the division as well as being one of the best attacking outfits and there should be plenty of interest in backing them to find the back of the net on Sunday.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad tips & predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 4/7 (1.57) but more appealing is backing Real Sociedad to score in the first half at 5/4 (2.25).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Jansen's men struggling after losing some key players, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Hoops to continue their fine form with a Europa League win

Celtic will be looking to extend their winning streak when they welcome AZ to Glasgow for Wednesday’s Europa League qualification play-off.

After failing to win any of his first four games in charge during a difficult start to life at Parkhead, Ange Postecoglou has now overseen four wins in a row.

Celtic vs AZ latest odds

With confidence high, Celtic are even money (2.00) favourites with bet365 to continue that fine form by coming out on top here.

AZ have lost four of their last five away matches in this competition but can be backed at 13/5 (3.60) to take the upper hand in this clash by emerging victorious.

Two of the visitors’ last three Europa League fixtures have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them playing out another stalemate in this one.

Owen Wijndal is unlikely to feature as he struggles with a groin problem, while Jesper Karlsson will miss out due to suspension.

Celtic vs AZ preview

While the Hoops are in high spirits after their fourth win in succession against Hearts – a run that has seen them score 16 goals along the way – their opponents come into this clash with morale fairly low.

Having achieved an impressive third-placed finish in his first season at the helm last campaign, Pascal Jansen has seen key players Myron Boadu and Calvin Stengs leave this summer and faces a battle to keep hold of captain Teeun Koopmeiners.

After opening the new Eredivisie season with a disappointing 1-0 defeat to RKC Waalwijk, his team will be up against it to turn things around against their high-flying opponents.

Celtic vs AZ predictions

Realistically, a Celtic side that have already played seven more matches of competitive football so far this season and finds themselves in strong form look well worth backing at even money (2.00) to see off an AZ team that have struggled on the road in European competition at the best of times.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The side from north London travel to northern Portugal for their first European match of the season and should return with a comfortable victory

Tottenham travel to the Estadio da Capital do Movel on Thursday evening for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League play-off against Pacos de Ferreira. 

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side began the Premier League in superb fashion at the weekend by defeating Manchester City 1-0 and the new manager will be hoping his side can carry that momentum into European competition. 

Pacos de Ferreira vs Tottenham latest odds

This will be the hosts’ sixth competitive match of the season having already played two games to get to this stage of UEFA Conference League qualifying as well as three official domestic encounters. 

Pacos de Ferreira, who finished fifth in the Primeira Liga last season, are offered at 9/2 (5.50) by bet365, while Spurs can be backed at 4/7 (1.57) and the draw at 3/1 (4.00) .

Pacos de Ferreira vs Tottenham team news

The north Londoners are likely to make some changes to the side that played on Sunday against Manchester City and there could be first starts for new signings Bryan Gil and Cristian Romero.

Harry Kane did not play at the weekend, and the Man City-linked striker will again be missing in Portugal.

The hosts, meanwhile, have no major injury concerns heading into the game and are likely to field as strong a side as possible in what is one of their biggest ever matches. 

Pacos de Ferreira vs Tottenham preview

Sunday’s performance from Spurs against Manchester City was extremely impressive with Nuno’s side deserved winners against Pep Guardiola’s team.

Another tough game awaits in the Premier League this weekend against the manager’s former club Wolves and there is little doubt that Nuno will rotate his squad.

Nevertheless, Spurs should still be too strong against a team making their European debut and who were roundly beaten 3-0 by Boavista at the weekend.

A scare in Bulgaria aside, Spurs were pretty comfortable in their Europa League qualifying matches last season and backing them to get the job done with the minimum of fuss should certainly be of interest. 

Pacos de Ferreira vs Tottenham tips & predictions

Spurs scored over 1.5 goals in 12 of their 14 European games last season and backing them to do so once more and claim a win is available at the healthy price of evens (2.00) .

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Grigoryan's men struggling for form, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Gers to bounce back from their Malmo defeat with a big Europa League victory

After failing to qualify for the Champions League, Rangers will be hoping to secure a place in the Europa League group stage when they welcome Alashkert to Ibrox on Thursday.

Steven Gerrard’s men were knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers in bitterly disappointing fashion, losing 2-1 away before throwing away a 1-0 lead in the second leg to lose 2-1 to 10-man Malmo.

Rangers vs Alashkert latest odds

However, Rangers are clear 1/8 (1.13) favourites with bet365 to take control of this tie by coming out on top in the first leg.

Alashkert also dropped out of the Champions League qualifiers in the early qualifying rounds but are available at 16/1 (17.00) to move one step closer to their first group-stage appearance in this competition by pulling off a shock win in Glasgow.

The visitors beat Kairat after extra-time following two draws in the last round, and you can get odds of 7/1 (8.00) on them playing out a third successive stalemate in this competition.

Rangers vs Alashkert team news

Glen Kamara and Kemar Roofe remain unavailable due to suspension, while Ryan Jack and Nnamdi Ofoborh remain injured, and Fashion Sakala will be assessed after missing the League Cup win over Dunfermline with a  groin strain.

Having rested a number of key players in Sunday’s league defeat to Van, Aleksandr Grigoryan will welcome the likes of Artak Grigoryan, David Khurtsidze and Jose Embalo back into the line-up.

Rangers vs Alashkert preview

After a run of three consecutive defeats, the Gers will have been delighted to stop the rot with a much-needed emphatic cup win over Dunfermline at the weekend.

They should be confident of getting another comfortable victory against Thursday’s visitors, who have gone six matches without a win in normal time in all competitions.

Knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers 4-1 on aggregate by Moldovan side Sheriff, the Armenian champions have also begun the defence of their title in uninspiring fashion – losing two games from two by a combined scoreline of 5-0.

Rangers vs Alashkert predictions

Having lost just two of their last 24 home games in the Europa League, a reinvigorated Rangers look well worth 6/5 (2.20) odds to beat an out-of-form Alashkert by at least three goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The side from the French capital are clear favourites to record a win but there could be interest in opposing them to keep a clean sheet in Brittany

Paris Saint-Germain play their third match of the Ligue 1 season on Friday evening when they travel to the Stade Francis Le-Ble to face Brest.

Lionel Messi looks set to make his debut for his new club next weekend, but without the Argentine, PSG have still managed to make a 100 per cent league start, beating both Troyes and Strasbourg.

However, Mauricio Pochettino’s men have conceded in both of those matches, suffering some nervy moments, and they will be hoping for a more solid showing against a Brest side who have impressively drawn their two opening games.

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain latest odds

PSG have won each of their last nine meetings with the side from Brittany and bet365 offer the capital club at 1/5 (1.20).

The hosts ended last season in 17th place and Brest can be backed at 11/1 (12.00) to pull off what would be a major shock.

The draw can be backed at 13/2 (7.50).

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain team news

The hosts remain without long-term injury absentees Paul Lasne and Sebastien Cibois but full-back Jerome Uronen should be fit enough to start despite taking a knock to the ankle in last week’s draw against Rennes.

PSG, meanwhile, remain without both Messi and Neymar, while Sergio Ramos is still not fit enough for his debut and Juan Bernat remains unavailable.

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain preview

Brest have made a resilient start to the campaign, claiming a creditable 1-1 draw against Lyon before scoring in injury time to record the same scoreline against Rennes.

Despite battling against relegation last term Brest regularly found the back of the net in their own stadium with Michel Der Zakarian’s team netting in 17 of their last 20 home matches in Ligue 1.

Meanwhile, PSG are yet to keep a clean sheet this term in the league with the side also losing the French Super Cup 1-0 to Lille.

There should therefore be some interest in backing the hosts to at least get on the score sheet, although an away win looks the most likely outcome.

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain tips & predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 4/5 (1.80) while the odds rise to 7/5 (2.40) if we combine this selection with an away win.

PSG to win and both teams to score has paid out comfortably in both of the Paris outfit’s league encounters this term and looks a strong selection once more.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Al Hain-Cole has put together a four-fold accumulator from across England's top four leagues, with the odds adding up to just under 9/1

Manchester United started their season on a winning note last weekend and they again feature in Goal’s four-fold accumulator featuring bets from the top four divisions in English football.

Check out our accumulator guide here

Southampton vs Manchester United – Man Utd to win at 4/7 (1.57)

Having dealt out 3-2 and a record-equalling 9-0 defeats to Southampton last season, Manchester United will be confident of coming out on top at St Mary’s after their impressive 5-1 opening league win over Leeds.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men look in poor shape after losing some key players over the summer and suffering a 3-1 defeat to Everton in their opener, making 4/7 (1.57) odds seem generous on the Red Devils collecting three points here.

Bournemouth vs Blackpool – Bournemouth to win at 8/13 (1.62)

Scott Parker has enjoyed a strong start to life at Bournemouth, winning three and losing none of his first four competitive matches since leaving Fulham for the south coast.

With confidence high, his side look well worth 8/13 (1.62) odds to overcome a newly-promoted Blackpool team that has claimed just one point from the first available nine since returning to the Championship.

Forest Green Rovers vs Crawley Town – Forest Green to win at 17/20 (1.85)

After only missing out on promotion in last season’s League Two play-offs, Forest Green Rovers look like they mean business following three wins from their opening three league games.

Having also upset Championship outfit Bristol City in a penalty shootout in the Carabao Cup, they are surely worth backing at 17/20 (1.85) odds to defeat a Crawley side that has taken just nine points from 36 league matches on the road.

Northampton vs Rochdale – Northampton to win at 21/20 (2.05)

Despite suffering relegation from League One last season, Northampton picked up as many home victories as promotion-chasing Charlton – winning five of their last eight league matches in their own backyard.

Having started this season with three wins from three, including away at Coventry of the Championship in the cup, they offer strong value at 21/20 (2.05) when they face a Rochdale team with just one point to their name from three games.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having frustrated the Reds in recent visits to Anfield, Al Hain-Cole is backing Dyche's men to keep things tight at the back on Saturday

Liverpool will be aiming to build on their positive start to the Premier League campaign when they welcome Burnley to Anfield on Saturday.

The Reds eased to an impressive 3-0 win away to Norwich in their opener, carrying on the form that saw them take 26 points from the last available 30 last season.

Liverpool vs Burnley latest odds

Having won three and lost none of their final four home games last campaign, Liverpool are 1/5 (1.20) favourites with bet365 to pick up where they left off by coming out on top here.

However, Sean Dyche’s men have claimed four points from their last two trips to this ground and Burnley can be backed at 14/1 (15.00) to pull off a shock victory in this one.

Two of the last four encounters between this duo on Merseyside have resulted in draws, and you can get odds 11/2 (6.50) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones could all be involved after missing out due to fitness issues against Norwich, although Andrew Robertson remains sidelined.

Nathan Collins will be hoping to make his debut following his summer move from Stoke, while Kevin Long and Dale Stephens are out with Achilles and ankle injuries, respectively.

Liverpool vs Burnley preview

Having failed to score in their last three league matches of the last campaign, the Clarets will have been delighted to break the deadlock within two minutes of their opening clash against Brighton.

However, their familiar lack of cutting edge became more and more apparent as they failed to build on that lead, with the usually decisive Chris Wood looking rather lethargic following his summer at the Tokyo Olympics.

Burnley are unlikely to do too much attacking anyway at Anfield, where they have conceded just once in their last two visits and only let in more than two goals once in six games.

Liverpool vs Burnley tips & predictions

Considering Jurgen Klopp’s team have failed to score more than twice in any of their last 15 fixtures on home turf, odds of 11/8 (2.38) seem generous on under 2.5 goals going in for their third consecutive Anfield outing against Burnley.
